please add warning about what pins to avoid contact with, and also that tinfoil can flake and contact those pins, even if the initial shape doesn't cover those pins. we dont want people bricking their switches. ideally tinfoil should be a 1 time solution, then turning autorcm on, until you get a jig or just never let your switch battery die.
Gonna pin your message. I have been using this method for years and never had an issue nor have I known anyone to come across a problem doing this. Not saying it won't happen as anything is possible which is why I'm pinning your message as a warning. I do appreciate you looking out for the community.
Took me a couple of tries but it finally worked :) trick was really not to worry about pushing it down (i.e I didn't want to force it so much that I guess I wasn't pushing it down enough either)
My left joycon rail is not working properly, so the switch connects to the right joycon via bluetooth, which breaks the connection to the tinfoil. Any other way to boot rcm mode?
@coolultra6017 I used a 1 inch x 1 inch. But ended up cutting it down. Start there and cut down if you need. Aluminum foil comes in different thickness too so it's hard to explain. When you place it on the joycon to slide down, there should be little to no resistance until you hit the bottom.
Hey, you saif to leave a comment on your last video then you turned them off. Trying to mod my switch and I followed your guide step by step multiples times and everytime the same thing happens; I click on payloads, fusee.bin, the Atmosphere logo flashes for a second, then the screen goes black and nothing. I have to hold the power button to get anything to happen but then that just reboots it back to an un-jailbroken state. Are the files linked in the description still functioning properly?
yo how do i get a hackable switch? i bought a switch on offerup from a guy but its not hackable it says on the website , its not an oled version and its not the lite version either, its exactly ur switch but idk man. i feel like i splurged 250 dollars foir nothing and i need help plssssssssssssssssss
Can't stand this guy's tutorials, I think he's being paid off by mario. This is incredibly dangerous, either spring for the $2 jig or open a joycon and solder pins 9 and 10 because if you get it wrong, the console will be bricked.

@@JonnyTroche couldnt we use like a piece of paper that way we dont have to worry about something going wrong withe the tin foil?
@@MusicMcMania needs to be a metal.
@@JonnyTroche is it because of the conductivity or sumthin?
@@eballadude I believe so.
I'm amazed how the alumni foil worked like a charm in my first try xD
I tried to do it with my switch and it didn’t work😢😢😢😢
Is it possible to update tinfoil from the app
I see what you did there!
Wow amazing ❤ great work bro
Wow I think this is way better than the clip, less damage
does it need to be a specific size
Really good tuto (im french) thanks you 🎉❤
My switch is running version 19.0.1. I saw that you have a tutorial out for modding it but the comments are turned off. Does the jailbreak still work?
Same boat
Comments are off? I don’t have them off. But 19.0.1 will work.
@@JonnyTroche Yeah the comments are turned off on it. No clue why though.
this method was awesome. i tried it yesterday and it works. Thanks Man! :)
Tried it today, and it works! I have no idea how I lost my RCM jig TWICE
Took me a couple of tries but it finally worked :) trick was really not to worry about pushing it down (i.e I didn't want to force it so much that I guess I wasn't pushing it down enough either)
Depends on the thickness of the foil. You get a feel for it and it gets easier.
If I mess this up, will my switch break?
My left joycon rail is not working properly, so the switch connects to the right joycon via bluetooth, which breaks the connection to the tinfoil. Any other way to boot rcm mode?
Turn on airplane mode my guy
@@vice436wth he said boot rcm not turn off Bluetooth?
@@10X-win he can’t connect to the joy con if airplane mode is on goofy
Thanks man!!
This is cool, but can we know what size piece the tinfoil has to be?
Thin, I tried to show the best I could.
What's the overall measurement of the square when you start off? Like the hight and width of it?
@coolultra6017 I used a 1 inch x 1 inch. But ended up cutting it down. Start there and cut down if you need. Aluminum foil comes in different thickness too so it's hard to explain. When you place it on the joycon to slide down, there should be little to no resistance until you hit the bottom.
Does a piece of paper fork just as well?
Does this no longer work for someone after updating to firmware 19.0?
Currently yes but an update is on the way. Should be soon.
@@JonnyTroche for now i have been hearing that there's a prerelease version on the way until the creator makes a fully updated for 19.0.0
Hey i just wanna ask can u still mod a banned switch?
Yes
@@JonnyTroche how? Do i still follow the steps on how to do it like a normal unbanned switch?
Yup. A banned switch affects the process in no way. You just can't play online is all.
Yes

thanks u are the goat !!!🐐
Ok so I have a question, why the jigs use the first chip conected to the last, and the aluminium foil onli the 2 first ones, whats the difference?
Does this still need a mod chip if its an OLED model?
yes
Will it fry my Nintendo if I turn it back on?
do u know how i can access online while on a modded switch? i want to download designs on animal crossing while also modding it but im stuck ☹️
if you access online w/ a modded switch you run the risk of getting your console being banned from playing online
Thanks mate, saved me $5
Does the switch need to recognize it or no
can you make a video about how to install hekate, atmosphere and everything on a modchipped v2 nintendo?
better than the paperclip method
Yup, definitely, i have been hearing many times that people using that method sadly accedently brick their switch because doing it the wrong way.
Thanks
@Jonny Troche can you send us the payload download
OMG the next day i will do it
Do need to download the rcm file for switch lite to mod ?
switch lite needs a mod chip
@@bI00n got it modded
@@bI00n i have the lite but no chip and my og switch wont turn on so rip
Hey does anyone know if I can jailbreak my Nintendo switch serial number xtw
No, sorry, it needs to start with XA...
@@freshstar88mine is xaj4005 .. 👀 possible or not?
It doesn't work for me, I can't do it in any way
My Nintendo switch firmware is 17.0.1 can I jailbreak it ? Pls tell me!!!
Yes
You can send me a video of how to jailbreak it
yo how do i get a hackable switch? i bought a switch on offerup from a guy but its not hackable it says on the website , its not an oled version and its not the lite version either, its exactly ur switch but idk man. i feel like i splurged 250 dollars foir nothing and i need help plssssssssssssssssss
You need a V1 switch. You can tell if it’s unpatched by looking up “switch serial number jailbreaking lookup” or something similar.
DOES THE TUTORIAL ABOUT JAIL BREAKING A SWITCH STILLL WORK MAY 2024
Yes
can you do it with a paper clip
I never had luck with it but yes.
I ate my RCM jig
Was it bitter like the switch cartridge?
It's not going into rcm it's just booting normally, both paperclip and foil
unless your switch is patched then you’re doing it wrong
@@kurisugk im pretty sure it still boots in patched switch, payloads dont work tho
Bro This Broke my joycon
It didnt
@@JonnyTroche its legit sliding off...
@@Fatal4Crash no it didnt
@@artorias-24 how would u know????
hello your video How to Jailbreak your Nintendo Switch - Firmware 18.1.0 - Updated has comments turned off
he sounds like a higher pitch sans (undertale)
Worked but hacking no.
XAJ7 004965 didnt get it :/
YELLOW:
😕 Your console is possibly patched.
Possible firmware version out of the box: Unknown

huh why?it worked for me several times without my switch getting bricked
Tin foil makes magic sparks that hack your switch
@@robbyjvc how does that work?
@@Random_Guy-rm4tv probably dust from the aluminum foil flaking off
i really hope mine didnt just get bricked, bc it isnt turning on now
