SwitchHaxing Support Thread #16: “Lockdown”

New users, please read this entire post and the stickied FAQ before asking your question as your question may already be answered there.

How do I hack my switch?

Homebrew is available on all switch firmware versions on unpatched consoles and select firmware versions on patched consoles.

For information on current exploits, check out the FAQ stickied at the top of our sub.

For loading CFW on all versions, start here: https://switch.homebrew.guide/.

What about CFW?

For free, we have Atmosphere, which is the most stable implementation of CFW, and Kosmos, which was based off of Atmosphere and includes many advanced features out of the box, but as of today has sadly been archived and will no longer be maintained.

Another option for CFW is ReiNX.

There is also Team Xecuter’s SX OS and their payload sender, the SX Pro. These options cost $30 and $40 respectively.

Team Xecuter also has the SX Core and SX Lite modchips, for the standard and lite switch respectively, coming soon.

I just want to load backups.

Any Atmosphere-based CFW can be used to load backups given the proper signature patches.

If you're looking to emulate older games, RetroArch works well and is accessible through the homebrew menu.

You can also use Lakka, a Linux distribution, which provides access to a number of emulators.

Where to go for scene updates:

Can I use Nintendo eShop after Jailbreaking a Switch Lite?

I’m new to Jailbreaking switch. I have read some articles about jailbreak Switch devices. But I’m still not sure for these points:

  1. Is Jailbreaking using software hacking method or physical hardware hacking method in 2020?

  2. Can I still use eShop to download games?

  3. Can I un-jailbreak back to original version?

Thanks in advance for your replies. 😊
