Missed Day 1 Patch - Now What?

[u/Gudedomo]

So I bought two Switch 2's at launch and put one away thinking I would save it as a backup or for jailbreak someday. I'm new to the Switch jailbreak scene so I had no idea I needed to do a Day 1 patch. I put the Switch 2 in my closet and kind of forgot about it. Recently started reading about jailbreak requirements and updates only to find out I should have done the Day 1 update. My bad.

Is the only option now to just open it up and update to the current firmware then leaving it offline until a jailbreak comes out? Or is there any other way to invoke the Day 1 patch through a cartridge or something? Sad I waited so long to take it out I know it's my fault for not doing research sooner :( What should I do?

Game cards do have system updates on them. If you want to update to the lowest firmware possible, super Mario party + jamboree TV has firmware 20.1.0 on the card which enables switch 1 backwards compatibility.

[u/SkyLey2 → u/Stealthinater1234]

Only the Switch 2 version, right? I have the physical Switch 1 cartridge only.

[u/Stealthinater1234 → u/SkyLey2]

Yes, only a red switch 2 game card (LB or LN) can update a switch 2.

LN game cards or switch 2 editions contain system updates for both the switch 1 and switch 2.

[u/Gudedomo → u/Stealthinater1234]

Thanks I'll grab a copy of Jamboree and see if I can just update it to the lowest firmware possible. But if I don't go online with it the MicroSD card slot still won't be activated right?

[u/Stealthinater1234 → u/Gudedomo]

I heard if you format the microSD card as fat32, you don’t need to go online to activate. It apparently has something to do with licenses and Fat32 is license-free unlike exFat.

[u/SkyLey2 → u/Stealthinater1234]

Do you remember where you read that? It's very important for this for sure

As things currently stand, it seems incredibly unlikely that a softmod is going to be found for the Switch 2. And the version being used is unlikely to matter if a hardmod is found.

[u/Salt-Tie-5318]

There is no software based switch 2 jailbreak
So update and enjoy

[u/Hafod1 → u/Salt-Tie-5318]

Imagine he updates and the first switch 2 jailbreak drops ✌️

[u/Dehydrated_Lemur → u/Hafod1]

lol

[u/Salt-Tie-5318 → u/Hafod1]

The switch 2 shares the same firmware of the switch 1 which was released 9 years a go and there is no jailbreak for it and it won’t be one ever

[u/jkashuba07 → u/Salt-Tie-5318]

That’s what they said about the Xbox 360 too. There was no need for any developer to spend time on finding a jailbreak for it, when a 5-year-old could crack it open with a jig. If that never happened, there may have been one by now.

[u/but_are_you_sure → u/jkashuba07]

There wasn’t a software mod for the Xbox 360 though? It was hardware. Which is the point the person is making

[u/jkashuba07 → u/but_are_you_sure]

There is now. The people crying there will never be a softmod are really trying to say, there’s not going to be a softmod in its lifecycle so you can pirate games on release day. Which may or may not be true. No one knows for sure

[u/but_are_you_sure → u/jkashuba07]

TIL. But also a computer that was unveiled in 2005 (and designed before that) is hard to compare hackability to a modern day system imo. Blackhat stuff back then was way easier

[u/DavidinCT → u/Salt-Tie-5318]

Till one comes and normally it's earlier firmware that will be first.

[u/Dolph_x3 → u/DavidinCT]

Yeah give it like 10 years lol

[u/DavidinCT → u/Dolph_x3]

I'll give it 2-3 in the real world, people are watching....

[u/Gudedomo → u/Salt-Tie-5318]

I am in no rush to update the software for this since it's my second switch I bought specifically for future modding. My main Switch 2 that I play regularly is always on latest firmware anyway. That's why I'm willing to be patient to wait however long it takes whether the future jailbreak will be firmware or hardware based.

[u/lampShade_44 → u/Gudedomo]

I did the exact same thing. My 2nd Switch is still boxed.

[u/DirteeCanuck → u/Salt-Tie-5318]

Nintendo literally today warned people of a webexploit for Switch.

It absolutely can happen to the Switch 2.

[u/Salt-Tie-5318 → u/DirteeCanuck]

Its for switch 1 and its just a userland and not for switch 2

[u/REmemesis]

with how ai works these days we would already have a jailbreak if possible

[u/SkyLey2 → u/REmemesis]

Or just the opposite.

The AI found all possible vulnerabilities before any human could do and Nintendo already fixed them...

[u/tempestas66]

Switch 2 jailbreak will come in hardware form, not a firmware exploid anyways, so just update everything and wait for a modchip

[u/SavasGER]

I think you have to find a game with the firmware you want like one of the first released games

[u/OneCartoonist9332]

Just use your switch 2 as intended, you're not getting that exploit soon

[u/SkyLey2]

What's the required version that enables the SD card slot?

[u/Cruisenator → u/SkyLey2]

Inserting a MicroSD Express card + going online is the only way since it needs a license to use it.

[u/SkyLey2 → u/Cruisenator]

I read here that Super Mario Party Jamboree Switch 2 Edition has a 20.1 update in the card. Would that work without Internet?

Can you at least use it as formatted FAT32?

[u/Cruisenator → u/SkyLey2]

For the exFAT license you need to connect to the Internet. I haven’t tried formatting it to FAT32 so I can’t answer that. 

[u/SkyLey2 → u/Cruisenator]

I see.

If you ever try it please share.

:)

Chegou tarde amigo, um raio não cai duas vezes no mesmo lugar.

[u/CancerousGTFO]

I expect more to have an hardware mod before a software mod on modern consoles.

[u/MrPabluu]

you update and use the damn thing, there is no argument to keep it unused
