![]() ![]() The Switch detects that something is wrong and boots into RCM to get repaired. This works by "bricking" the Switch in a controlled manner. Once set up, this method will always boot the Switch into RCM, even without a jig or holding any buttons. To enter RCM more comfortably a solution called "AutoRCM" exists. Premade jigs can be found on online marketplaces for cheap. You can download and 3d-print your own jig and use the pictures on this website to guide you on how to bend the wire correctly. Paperclips make for potentially dangerous jigs, as they are made out of a hard material, are rigid and pointy and can easily scratch off the pads inside the Switch.Ī good jig uses 32Gauge(0.2mm diameter) wire and is bent in a way that the end of the wire does not scratch the pads. ![]() Since the wire in the jig is supposed to touch the pads inside the Switch's joycon rail, it is important to use wire that is thin, not rigid and bent/not pointy. These jigs are made in a way that they slide into the right joycon rail and have a piece of connected wire that then bridges pin 10 and one of the grounded pins on the Switch.Ī lot of different designs for these jigs exist, but it is important to understand, that these jigs can damage the Switch if they are made in a bad way. Most people prefer to use 3d-printed jigs to enter RCM. How do I use the exploit? How can I boot into RCM? The serial number on the back of the box can possibly tell you which consoles are patched and which aren't. Mariko is hardware patched, but may come on a vulnerable firmware.Ĭurrently the only way to know if your Switch is hackable is by trying to send the payload in RCM.Įven with this exploit fixed, many Switches on 8.0.1 and below will be hackable to some degree in the future (see Should I update my Firmware? for much more detailed information). This includes the latest units on shelves, referred to as 'red box' or 'Mariko'. This means that all current and future firmwares will be able to launch CFW through this exploit on the old hardware revision.Īny console purchased after approximately August 2018 is likely to be patched. This bug cannot be fixed by Nintendo once the console leaves the factory, unless the console is sent in for repairs. When Nintendo updates the system, however, CFW will usually need an update to account for it. Any Switch bought or manufactured before the middle of 2018 has a bootrom bug that allows us to run code regardless of the firmware version on the Switch. ![]() Currently two hardware revisions of the Switch exist. ![]()
