Kernel must work with trust zone. By beating it you basically say do my biding. Think of it like a copywrite protection on dvdsWhat's the actual difference in functionality of TZ on 2.x vs just kernel on 3.0?

I'm guessing it's impossible now to find a 2.3 switch at retail now.
Bought a 2nd one yesterday that came wih 2.3. Look for the splatoon bundle.I'm guessing it's impossible now to find a 2.3 switch at retail now.
Splatoon bundle has 2.3 from what I recall.

youre wrongThe vibe I'm getting is:
- Get to 2.3 or lower
- Up to 3.0.2 may be ok
- Higher is fucked?
Correct me if I'm wrong.

As we learn more about the Switch system, the better chance we have of finding exploits in future firmware.
Since SciresM found another entry point on 2.x, he now has the knowledge of where that weakness is.
And even if that exact entry point is not accessible on 3.x , he and others can try to exploit the same weakness from another attack vector.
Bottom line... Hold on to yer britches. It only gets better from here.

4.x is as far as we know, rock solid going from the top and has even handled many but not all of nVidia's screw ups. 5.x or whatever the next major update with bug fixes is, will only make this worse.
Thanks to TX cashing in early, the bootloader bug will also disappear and unless you're going to start building your own glitching unit, it will likely become difficult to use any software solution from the top-down since you have no access to lower level functions.
So I should be hunting down a new switch at a lower firmware? Mine is on 4.1 as of now.
You can also take the risk of a modchip, but then I don't generally recommend fucking with the hardware in a unit as tight as the Switch. Solderless or not.
But if you are after software holes, that opportunity is quickly dwindling in newer firmwares.
Well yeah, that's the whole point of security updates and patches. As time goes on, it will continue to become more difficult.It is in fact the opposite. We're running out of compromises, and our understanding of just how well Nintendo is mitigating problems is becoming more and more profound.
3.x has kernelhaxSoftware solution(as of now as far as I know):
-1.0-2.x will get their piracy.
-3.0.0 gets Homebrew/play decrypted ROMs like in Wii U.
-3.0.1 and above are screwed (for now).
Hardware solutions (according to what we know from TX):
-all hardware will be susceptible to piracy unless Nintendo revises their hardware.
