Hacking Question just purchased hoping for 3.0.0 got a 3.0.1 any point in staying at 3.0.1? should I return it?

[SirGray]

So I just purchased a switch with serial xaw100208 hoping for a 3.0.0 and I got a 3.0.1. Should I leave it at 3.0.1 or update? or should I return and keep looking for a 3.0.0?

won’t need a jig when Atmosphere is released.

really? I thought atmosphere required a jig if you're higher than 3.0.0? And don't you have to enter RCM mode or at least load the atmosphere custom firmware every single time you restart the unit?

I thought it was 5 or 4 and up that needed the jig. 3 and lower will be able to enter with software.

It's technically 3.0.0 and lower that doesn't require a jig. 4.1.0 will get one in the future.

I think you mean 3.0.0 & lower doesn't require A jig. stay low so you have A chance at no jig! I think I remember 4.1.0 will eventually get to software and not require A jig.

Go to 1:20 ish

Whoops. Fixed. Thanks.

 

[SirGray]

okay, so no public software exploit for 3.0.1 yet, do you guys honestly think I should hold onto this unit or try to get a 3.0.0? Does it really matter?

If you watched the YouTube vid I posted you would already know the answer to your question

The only firmware that currently has a public software method for entering RCM is 1.0.0. All other firmwares require grounding a pin, this doesn't require a jig. You can ground a pin with solder, a wire, or an electrical switch.

If or when later versions will receive a software method for switching to RCM is unknown.

If or when we receive a software method that doesn't require RCM at all for loading CFW is also unknown.

won’t need a jig when Atmosphere is released.

Atmosphere is a CFW, not the exploit for loading it.

The full release of Fusee Gelee, which may or may not coincide with the release of Atmosphere, may remove the requirement of grounding a pin for people on certain firmware versions.

If you're desperate for a fully software exploit, wait. If you want to play new games, just update and you'll still get homebrew through other methods.

Thanks guys! I suppose I'll hang onto it for now and play mario odyssy since it's 3.0.1 as well. Cheers! Does anyone know of a good guide to show me how to get hbl working on 3.0.1 so I can play around with some emulators? Do I just need fusee gelee and a ground the right rail pins to enter rcm?

I would give you one, but you probably wouldn’t listen.

I watched your YouTube video, I was just asking cause I wanted more than one source than just instantly believing because a guy on youtube said so.

It's possible, however unlikely, that at some point an untethered coldboot will be released that requires 3.0.1 and doesn't work on any other firmware.

If you are going to use fusee gelee and are going to use hardware to enter RCM, then it doesn't appear to matter at all what firmware version you are on.

You don't need it, CFW will be for any firmware.

Update and get jiggy with it.

@notimp It has come to the point where you are becoming guilty of what you preach to others. That is, the whole "me me me" thing. I'm almost certain you are not aware that you are showing narcissistic traits when you insist others yield to your own personal view on how this forum should exist or be used. Hopefully, you don't see this as an attack but just the simple observation that it is.

Probably all FWs will eventually get SW solutions. But at the start, hardmod is required for all FWs (except 1.0.0 which can boot to RCM right now, usb cable still needed tho).
