​

Stuckpixel of the ReSwitched team recently released his exploit "Nereba".

This exploit will enable Nintendo Switch owners with early units that have held off updating, still on the original 1.0.0 firmware to reboot into a Fusée Gelée payload without any dongle, USB connections to a external device or jig directly from stock untouched firmware. In addition support for 2.x and 3.x firmware is also planned in the future, opening up the exploit to significantly more consoles.

The implementation takes advantage of the nspwn exploit, that users of the original 3.0.0 homebrew implementation will be familiar with. Used in conjunction with this, users will be able to boot any Fusee Gelee payload from the micro SD card, placed in the nereba folder on the root of the SD card. After running the script from the Switch web applet, users can reboot into any payload by launching the album applet from the home menu.

Got one sitting at 1.0.0, don't think you can really find them on sale anymore.

i agree on this , your not going to find official untouched
1.00 firmware nintendo switch brand-new in box just waiting to be bought
, like asking if vita games can be ran on the 3ds .., never see it happen,
even if someone had an Switch running 1.00 firmware - brand-new in box-
untouched , it'd be worth quite a-bit.. (depends if it's a *patched-unit*
or a *Non-Patched unit*). Your better off finding someone selling a non-patched unit..

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I think this is really cool in the sense it finally was released but here is my take.

We were made aware to hold off on updating that there would be new developments. But aside from piracy the draw to modding my switch was homebrew. If i had waited in this case i would have missed out on all the fun i had playing the various homebrew. I would have also had to do a lot of catching up in terms of config and bios files etc. At this point i have a very impressive system and that would not have happened if I had waited for this. Frankly i feel the people who did wait missed out and continue to miss out. This is similar to someone on ps4 scene waiting for cfw. “Gotta learn when to hold them learn when to fold them...”

i agree, this is =late in terms of CFW scene and or am i missing something here??..
ohhhh.. okay maybe i see its big use?.. does this mean working for or without RCM jig need or something?..
we need a true CFW, not one i keep having to use a dongle and stuff does get annoying..
i thought when u have code to bootloader and stuff .. u have complete access?..
then why are some of us still using a jig-tool and or dongle-tool to run CFW?--if our bootloader is not-patched or locked down?..
didn't the 3ds finally get complete access to bootloader and have or make a true CFW?.. far as i know it did?.

Saving your fuses means you can update, play anything then go back down whenever you want

Plenty of people stayed on 1.0.0 or updated without burning fuses.

So, considering how much hassle this bypasses, I have two questions:

1. My hacked Switch is on FW 5-7 or something. Would it be possible for yours truly to downgrade via ChouDujour-NX to 1.0.0? If so...
2. ...what exactly would I be losing in terms of compatibility with homebrew? I know pretty much anything that's not a launch title in terms of games wouldn't work, but I have a clean Switch for those. I'm thinking stuff like running RetroArch, using NX-Shell, and running that one exploit allows full RAM access. Also, would I be sacrificing Lakka compatibility given the recent breakthrough with the sound? (even though it has like two or three different issues that need to be fixed before I'd consider it an outright RetroArch-Horizon killer)

 

[weatMod]

the question is if its in the future compatible with 3.01 too? i stayed on these firmware and use sx emunand to play newer games

this way i can use emunand and dont have to use any dongle or autorcm anymore


on the github page: This release works only on Switch firmware version 1.0.0. Eventually, support for 2.0-3.0 will be added.

seems only for 3.0 firmware not higher

op say that :. In addition support for 2.x and 3.x firmware is also planned in the future

i think with either this or deja vu we would still need to wait for TX to implement it into SXOS right?
i mean if it gets released we still can't use it with SXOS unless they add it , or can we still get it to boot SXOS payload and emunand?

yes , but to my understanding of the switch home-brew-cfw-scene, as using Atmosphere CFW
and such, it doesn't matter no more what your fuse count is?.. or i missing something?..
or are you talking about people with untouched-patched units using this new exploit?.
plus your also forgetting people that has cfw- that are BANNED and also Double-BANNED -(CDN banned and both)..
dont matter on fuse count no more.. like having a double bann system and one that doesn't..
exactly why i bought two systems for , one that doesn't go online for CFW and homebrew scene,
one that goes online never touchs CFW or homebrew and also to play and use multi-player on... ,
first day i used CFW and homebrew on my system i was still on firmware version 5.1.0
used exploit and fusee glee exploit and or atmosphere CFW, i get banned because
i didn't turn off my internet connection off, because big-N sends and
receives telemetry data, from and to your system, pretty much most of time until
you cut off wifi or lan internet to system.. then dns-block the *big-N* servers from updating your console..

Yeah it's only for people who have either an untouched Switch or a Switch that has the 1.0.0 fuses and a NAND backup so they can restore it to when it was on 1.0.0


And yeah you could use RCM but this is a novelty really, it's more useful when it's implemented as Deja Vu in the future for the ipatched Switches

i never had deja-vu.. wish my patched unit could use it... but its on higher firmware on 6.2.0?... dont know if it can?
it was yellow-listed..

If you burned your efuses by updating normally, then you cannot downgrade in a way that will allow Nereba to be of any use to you.

how to tell how-many-( of course if any?) fuses i may have burnt- and or have left?.. and if so..
what's the best count of fuses and or worst of, if your still only on firmware version 6.2.0?..

I figured as much. Blessed be the patient, amirite!?

You can view your fuse info using Hekate. If you're on 6.2.0, that means you probably have 8 fuses burnt (unless you updated with ChoiDujourNX and installed AutoRCM). If you have 8 fuses burnt, then you cannot downgrade to anything below 6.2.0 in a way that will allow you to effectively use any other exploits.

At last, we can throw Auto RCM & USB dongles away on early firmwares.
Thank you very much for 2.0-3.0 firmware support too.
This is really great step, it was worth the wait, thank you.

Not yet without emunand I'd say.

 

[snoofly]

Yes and no. You won't be able to downgrade unless you prevented burning fuses in the first place.

no need to downgrade as i never upgraded, chou or otherwise

i had no use of my 1.0 as had another to use for hax so is left in closet. got fake news on it thats it really

A 1.00 patched unit would be worth quite a bit, all the patched units sold at retail are 4.x+

All of this will be irrelevant when mariko comes out and we all grab those...

A spare jig and dongle would still come in handy incase of unforseen bricks where you cannot access rcm and inject the necessary payloads to restore back without 'em.

thanks!! oh oh i have a 3.0.0 cool

 

[Deleted User]

smh so yeah i mean if you carefully managed efuses sure i guess this could be awesome but again i actually PLAY games. So since the INCREDIBLE homebrew that is Retroarch needs jit patches I gotta be honest those who waited THIS LONG just did it wrong. Those who managed their fuses were smart cause they were able to enjoy the homebrew which developed but personally I see no reason currently that makes this essential atm. I guess things could change but online play on the switch doesn't interest me. Neither does managing emunand. Personally I like to play videogames.

I am posting for folks who actually like to play. Not just horde consoles they will resell later. If you waited this long to mod your switch you would be completely lost. Completely. Personally I plan on changing that. I want to release a drag and drop solution for the layman. But as things are right now someone just joining the fun would have ALOT of catching up to do. I also have doubts as to wether they would be able to enjoy some of the cooler emu in retroarch (n64 or psp) on 1.0.

As for what is gained by this yeah it's pretty cool but if the only thing I miss out on is a quick boot I will wait a few more seconds. I rather keep the last year of incredible gaming moments. I remember early on I was like should I have just waited longer? And it really bothered me. But I can happily say knowing what I know now I made the right decision.

 

[raxadian]

Unfortunately almost no games run on 1.x firmware, save the launch ones. So I had to update my Switch.

 

[the_randomizer]

Got one sitting at 1.0.0, don't think you can really find them on sale anymore.

And I can guarantee that scalpers are going to be greedy assholes about it on eBay.
