Team-Xecuter announces future-proof Switch exploit

Team-Xecuter revealed in a teaser a method to bypass all Switch security in a manner that they claim will never be patched by Nintendo and is compatible with every firmware available!

In the video, they show a custom boot image and have publicly posted the Stage2 Bootloader key (package 1.1) which has been confirmed to be legit as proof of their pwnage over the device.

This solution will work on ANY Nintendo Switch console regardless of the currently installed firmware, and will be completely future proof. This is *the* solution for opening up CFW (Custom FirmWare) on the Nintendo Switch. We want to move the community forward and provide a persistent, stable and fast method of running your own code and custom firmware patches on Nintendo's latest flagship product. And we think we've succeeded!

Below you can find a quick video showcasing a Nintendo Switch booting up, but there s something funny going on, can you spot it?



This is expected to be a DRM/paid "device", speculated to be a tx1 glitch style modchip that will enable CFW and full access to the system, which unfortunately(?) includes piracy.

Guess I'll have to wait 2 years till warranty is over to do this if its not a fake.

Well, if this isn't fake, everybody wasted their time fretting about 3.0 and below consoles.

It's team xecuter. The only way for this to be fake is if someone got access to their blog and posted their own blog post.

Team xecuter has done tremendous work with the xbox 360 in terms of flashing the dvd drive and releasing glitch chips for the 360 as well.

Where is the WiiKey U btw? They did not stick to their promise last time. I am not getting my hopes up on this one.
I doubt you will have to depend on them to do it. This is fairly well documented at this point. One of these commercial hacking teams will jump on it. It's helped that the Switch is based on the well documented Nvidia chipset and theres piles of docs in the wild.

They probably balked at releasing a product for the wiiu given its sad commercial performance.
I don't think they'll pass on the red-hot switch though. They've already got a POC too.

No, this have been discussed before by more valid sources. Third party had lost their trust to SEGA after the Saturn. The Saturn wasn't really "old" in anyway and suddenly yet another system pops up out of no where.

Saturn was dead by the time the dreamcast was announced. The megacd & 32x created too much market apathy, combined with the insanely complicated saturn architecture plus the high cost of the console meant it couldn't compete with playstation.

The drop in dreamcast game sales supposedly coincides with kalisto, which I suppose could be coincidence.

It’s cool to see the Switch being hacked so fast and all, but I feel bad for Nintendo. They seem to be doing really well with the Switch sales wise. Not to mention there are many devs working with the Switch now, so I hope they don’t back out.
Side note : Wow.

No, I didn't want to buy the switch to play one or 2 games I already BOUGHT on WiiU.
This is the first time a Mario kart has been recycled, it should of been a brand new game and it was cheap of Nintendo do recycle it IMO.
Switch may never get my custom unless more grade A Nintendo quality games are made, and I'm not sure they're capable of making a truly awesome, complete library any more.
As time goes on we're getting much less nintendo quality games than we used to.
My evidence:
Look at the ds library & look at the 3ds library, BIG difference
Look at the Wii library and then the WiiU library, where the hell did the games go??
We will have to see in a year where the switch stands, a hack is useless with no games to discover

Very excited about this. Guess that means I should get my Switch in for defect fixes sooner than later.

100x the security prowess of the 3ds
multiplying 0 gives 0 anyway.
Judging for the quantity of entry points the 3ds has had it's security had more holes than a gruyere cheese and nintendo were patching those up along the way.
If you want a good example of security then look at the ps3 or vita.

You sir needs to get out of the Nintendo Community. Go to Playstation or X-Box. You are not needed here for your complaints. If you think that homebrew is just for piracy, thats incorrect. I'm also glad they went ahead and renewed Mario Kart 8 Deluxe instead of creating a new one. Its one of those games to actually push the sales for the Nintendo Switch when it was new and Mario Kart is a big hit for Nintendo.

That was quite unexpected, here's my advice if this is real:
Buy a switch if you haven't already, because this MIGHT be able to be patched through, say, Nintendo updating something physical in the switches. So if you had a 'switch v1' you'd be fine, but not with a 'switch v2'.
