Edit: I didn't notice the old thread, feel free to lock

Team-Xecuter revealed in a teaser a method to bypass all Switch security in a manner that they claim will never be patched by Nintendo and is compatible with every firmware available!

In the video, they show a custom boot image and have publicly posted the Stage2 Bootloader key (package 1.1) which has been confirmed to be legit as proof of their pwnage over the device.


This is expected to be a DRM/paid "device", speculated to be a tx1 glitch style modchip that will enable CFW and full access to the system, which unfortunately(?) includes piracy.

A T-X forum admin expects release around Spring of 2018

If they are right, thank you for killing 3rd party support and shortening Switch life spam, we thank you

I mean, the use of a modchip to run unsigned code isn't solely a piracy device, in that there is zero potential for any other use, but realistically, nobody is paying the price of a cheap android tablet (to buy a modchip) to run homebrew things that a cheap android tablet can also run just as well as a cheap android tablet.

Hopefully anyone with a modded switch gets shadowbanned from using online services. Don't want to deal with hackers.
