Questions regarding my XAW100591 Switch being hackable

[damianhrtd94]

Hi Guys very new to the switch modding scene, i was reading the FAQS and i see that basically

"Serials beginning with XAW1:
Serials between XAW10000000000 - XAW10074000000 are safe to buy".

So when checking ismyswitchpatched It gives me the message "Your console is definitely patched! That's a bummer!". honestly i tried searching the forums i was wondering if anyone here can give me any insight as to why that might be or if indeed my switch can be homebrewed, other than that very ready to mod my XAW100591 SWITCH, I have an RCM jig ready and all

EDIT: switch is fully modable, i put and extra 1 after the XAW1 in the search... Sorry all! thanks!

What is the full serial number on the switch?

I've read giving the full number isn't necessary and potentially dangerous ?

Any Switch with a serial number that begins with redacted will not be able to boot via RCM. You will need a mod chip for that Switch.

E: corrected. Was basing my statement on the observed results and not the actual site results.

To find out for sure if its patched you need the 6 numbers after XAW1. As far a I know, there's no danger from publishing your serial number. Unless another member knows otherwise. I've seen people as questions about their switch in here and have give serial numbers and even posted a pic of the serial number label on occasions

XAW1 is the prefix, ismyswitchpatched asks for 6 digits AFTER that prefix

Ninty figured out the issue halfway through the run and patched it.
