A friend of mine got his Switch back after someone stole it. Bad news; everything was deleted, including his Nintendo account. Now he wants me to install CFW on his Switch (his Switch is among the first ones released, I cheched the serial number) but I am messing with the paperclip thingy for 3 hours, not a single RCM screen booted up... I have 3 days to do it. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong? Here's what I do:
1 - Pluf the Switch to a PC using an USB Cable, then fully turn the Switch off
2 - Put the 6mm paperclip where the right Joy-Con normally is
3 - Press and hold Volume + button
4 - Push POWER button ONCE then release both POWER and Volume + buttons
The Nintendo logo still appears... no matter what I do. No, I do not have a credit card so I can't buy the jig on Amazon... And my buddy doesn't intend to go on the Internet with his Switch.
