Hacking Best CFW for 1.0.0 Switch

[NerdyR]

Hey guys I;ve been holding onto a 1.0.0 switch since launch, and would love to instal some cfw on it. Where would I start? I would prefer to not use a piece of wire if possible. TIA!

Buy a RCM Jig and update to latest fw wait for atmos to support fw 13.0.0

You can use warmboot hax on 1.0.0 to boot a payload without needing a jig, then you can make an emummc and update that to 12.1.0 to preserve the 1.0 sysmmc.
This guide seems to have info on it https://switch.homebrew.guide/

If you don’t want to buy a copy of JP Puyo Puyo Tetris you can try getting into RCM once and booting CFW on sysmmc to install fake news instead of using puyo to open the browser once to do whatever.

Yeah like the ZCG said

I used nspwn reboot to rcm by stuckpixel https://github.com/pixel-stuck/reboot_to_rcm
to get into rcm on 1.0.0 and run hekate to create emunand and stuff

After doing that I think I use fake news and pegascape to give the option to boot into emunand without going into rcm. Can’t really recall as it was ages ago

In my honest opinion 1.0 is literally only useful because of the fact its rare & people will pay top $.
The truth is, without hardware exploiting, their is never going to be a “true” coldboot, unless you care nothing for online.
What I mean by this is>>>>you need emummc to keep your nand clean without going through a pita process of restoring your nand every time. Ironically a process which has bricked god knows how many switches.
If you want to keep your emunand side offline & stock clean, their is never going to be a method that allows stock fw to directly boot to emunand. The only real true coldboot process requires a trinket/modchip, & it already exists. By simpling holding down different buttons upon every boot, youre able to swap from CFW to OFW.

so just update it to current official firmware? I have a switch fully updated currently

 

[Hayato213]

ZachyCatGames suggestion would be the best.

is a copy of puyo puyo tetris the best option? I dont care about online and would like to just turn my switch on and use cfw without an outside tool.

i wouldnt mind at all buying one game and keeping it int he switch if it made it easier for the future.

ATMOSPHERE IS THE BEST WAY TOO GO

 

[Hayato213]

Unpatched with modchip would be the best unless you care about that 1.0.0 firmware. You can sell it and get trinket m0 switch instead.

What you’d do is use JP puyo once to open the browser and run the exploit, then boot CFW on the 1.0 sysnand and install something called fake new which would allow you to open the web browser through the news applet thing instead of needing to use puyo every time.
Note: puyo must be the Japanese version

If you’re able to get it into RCM by normal means once you could boot cfw on 1.0 that way and install fake news from there to skip all the puyo stuff.


Fwiw, I’d probably prefer using the RCM bug over all of this, with autoRCM you don’t need to use a jig and performing the RCM exploit is much faster. This stuff also requires an internet connection every time you want to boot, so it’s still tethered in a way.
(Still use an emummc if you use the rcm bug, to avoid burning fuses and nuking the good memes 1.0 nands have)

i dont care about the firmware at all, had just been told a few years ago it would be the only one bootable without any jig or tether. so i guess that never came to fruition? what is a m0 trinket switch? sorry i am a super noob

so i either need a jig or an internet connection? how to get into rcm?

The point is you keep your 1.0.0 fuses as it's the most likely to ever have an exploit found

To get into rcm you need to insert a jig onto your right joycon rail and hold certain buttons upon starting your switch, you can read about in any guide about switch cfw... You don't actually need a jig, you just need to bridge certain pins on the right rail, long time ago i used a paperclip until eventually i just got a jig, but with autoRCM you literally need to use jig just once.

As for a trinket m0 switch, its just a switch with a trinket m0 soldered directly to the board (hardmod). I have a trinket m0 that i made myself long time ago but i never decided to do a hardmod. I just have it as small payload launcher.

It is the closest thing to coldboot, a modchipped untethered that can autoboot to CFW with just one button press with autoboot config and autoRCM.

that sounds lovely! any reputable vendors, or anything to avoid? thank you so much!

I see, I will probably go the hardmod route. Thank you so much!

If you can solder you can do it yourself, if not you can either buy it from like ebay or hire someone to do it locally.

If you wan’t to keep your fw on 1.0, just use fusee gelee one time. That way you don’t need to buy tetris. Either carefully use a paperclip(free method), or buy a 1$ jig. Alsong as you have a usb A cord to usb C(like the pro controller uses) you can send a payload from your phone/comp
Once youve booted a payload, as suggested above, create an emunand/mmc>update & use that emunand/mmc. Emummc is highly suggested as sx os hasnt been supported in a long time.
Alsong as you keep your switch in sleep mode like 99% of the world, you wont need to resend another one. You can also enable Autorcm, which will eliminate use of the jig for you.

I know that, I was just trying to point out that whatever is found, a trinket will always do it better. Their is no software exploit that will ever let you swap between an emummc to pure stock on each boot.
So regardless of what is found, tinkering with the hardware is always going to be more efficient. Don’t get me wrong i wouldn’t update a 1.0 now without emummc, but not because i particularly care about a different method to unlock homebrew, which may never see the light of day. More because of the rarity & value.
