Nintendo Switch: Team Xecuter confirm once again their hack will work on all firmwares
Team Xecuter have provided an update on their upcoming hacking device for the Nintendo Switch, and they confirmed once again that the device will be “future proof” and work on the latest firmware.
The admin’s statement is as follows:
Please everyone just get along, its not our policy to ban people unless they are being overly rude to others, it does not matter if you VIP member or not, that does not give you right to be rude to new members.
What is welcome in this thread is speculation, you are free to discuss that among yourselfs openly, which there is alot of GBATemp, but there its all speculation, it does not contain any more official info then what is located here and on the front page.
To sum it up, as stated before our mod is ‘future-proof’, i know everyone screaming for ‘more proof’ after nintendo’s big 5.0 release, but Don’t Worry.. Be Happy.. Stay Clam.. Chillout..
There will be solderless and solder version, when the time comes as we get closer to release more info will be released, but due to cloners and e-famers, and other reasons, you will not see much more info posted like pics, etc. until just before pre-orders start, and we have not finalized a release date yet either, so don’t whine about that either.
All I can say is things are moving smoothly, the prototype boards are in hands of our skilled development team, and they are busy putting the final touches to give you a complete nice solution for modding, improving and enjoying your Nintendo Switch to the fullest the hardware can take you!
Team Xecuter had announced their hacking device would be available in Spring 2018, so people are getting a bit impatient about the lack of official update. It’s obvious from the statement above that Team Xecuter are busy making sure their device won’t be easily reverse-engineered by the competition as soon as it’s available on the market.
Multiple hacking teams have a “full hack” of the Nintendo Switch
This upcoming device release is in the context of multiple Nintendo Switch hacking teams that have announced they have full control over the Nintendo Switch (namely, Fail0verflow and Reswitched), through flaws in the Tegra Chip that Nintendo can allegedly not patch without a hardware revision.
Switch firmware 5.0.0 apparently introduced support for a new chip, which could indicate that Nintendo will soon introduce new hardware in an attempt to fight these upcoming hacks. Because of this, some hackers have recommended that now might be the right time to stockpile on the console. (Available here on Amazon at the time of this writing).
Today, only people running on Nintendo Switch firmware 3.0.0 or below can enjoy a limited selection of homebrews on their Nintendo Switch.

Another non update update from TE as usual :-/
Nitendo really needs to work on their security. They always getting hacked.
EVERYTHING gets hacked (if there’s enough interest).
but on nintendos site, it happens really quickly.
In the meantime ten articles a day on ps4 hack are published.

Yeah, nearly 4 years after release…
It’s barely been a year with the Switch and it’s already hacked, nintendo security is laughably bad, stop trying to protect it kid.
There was proof of hacks on PS4 on its first year already. There was a conference with f0w too. Stop being an useless fanboy.

There was no release though.
We can already play homebrew titles on the Switch AND a fully fledged CFW is coming this summer as SciresM announced.
Who’s the useless fanboy? Don’t cry too much when the CFW comes out and we’re all pirating on the Switch because Nintendo security is garbage.
There are proof of hacking PS4 since its first year. There was a conference with f-overfolw too. Stop being an useless fanboy and go pirate Uncharted.
We can already play homebrew titles on the Switch AND a fully fledged CFW is coming this summer as SciresM announced on ALL firmwares.
PS4 only got hacked years later and we still can’t run anything on the latest FW.
Nintendo security is just trash, like your logic. Sorry kid.
Articles does not equate to security dimwitted kid.
Switch has a CFW on all systems lol in just a year (as SciresM announced) and we can run HB on it, PS4 is still secure on latest FW (even 4 yrs later).
Nintendo security is bad period.
Like I said there are proof of hacking PS4 since its first year.
What’s really funny is that Nintendo went with a stupid format for their memory cartridges, presumably DRM reasons since there’s literally no other reason to even bother with it over SD with DRM gate.
Meanwhile, they used a stock, off the shelf, chip and apparently didn’t try very hard to vest for vulnerabilities.
Yeah, Nintendo security is laughably bad, only thing more laughable is their child defenders. I have no problem with it though, their ineptitude is our gain. Can’t wait for the free games.
Whats the problem with Nintendo Switch getting hacked ? It will increase console sales and software drop will be barrely noticeable.
Like the PSP? lol pirates who try to justify themselves at any cost.
The PSP lasted years even with piracy.
PSP software sold like *** and the console too. Stop being so delusional.
PSP software sold nothing and the console too. Stop being so delusional.
80+ million in hardware sales is nothing? Wow you really are braindead. Thanks for proving your idiocy.
how nice of them. of course it will support eeeeeverything. their chip is probably using the same / similar glitch technique that was in the official tegra chip docs. Therefore if in fact a new hw revision is coming, it will not work and if nintendo is just a little bit lucky that time they hardened it enough.
I know tx’s only interest is because of the scale. they’ve sold 20+ million so far, so there is a potential market of buyers / modchip installers for this.
I cannot help but remember that they teased years ago about an xbox one hack which just never materialised. The ps4 has sold 70+ millions and there are hacks for that but, unfortunately for these guys, it’s all software based, no hw glitch based method so far.
Of course they could have tried to make something out of their own mind but all they are capable of is building on other people’s hacks. They are not clever or curious enough to figure out something out of their own minds. To improve on something that already works, that works for them. Only that.
And of course ban everyone on their forums like an idiot politician who just cannot handle criticism.
Sitting pretty on 4.1.0, can’t wait for the floodgates to open and this console to get the basic features Nintendo doesn’t have the mental capacity to add.
It’s your fault and your pirate friends. 3DS had a browser on day one but not the Switch. I wonder why… mental capacity lol
Ah, blaming piracy for Nintendo’s ineptitude. Pathetic.
Blaming pirates for Nintendo’s inability to add basic features? Are you really that dimwitted?
There is no browser because they want mitigate attack via webkit. It’s not rocket science. The only mental incapacity is in site viewers.
Wow you’re really slow. There is a browser, easily accessible too. I used the browser to hack my Switch.
The browser isn’t accessible for the average joe user like yourself though, so you get no browser, and we still get the hacks.
Enjoy those stability updates though and keep defending Nintendo’s pointless updates, I’ll enjoy playing emulated games on my Switch (which you can’t do because there is STILL no official VC). Hackers do what Nintendon’t.
I get to enjoy the Switch to the fullest potential and unlock all its features, all you can do is shed tears in a corner, because Nintendo has garbage security and locks you out of its features.
Spend 300 $ for emulating 30 years old games and calling others “slow”. Fitting username.
Correction: he said he’s smart for hacking a 300$ device for old roms and people who are playing the new games are crying in a corner rn.
Get your facts straight.
It’s funny, because the 3DS didn’t get a browser until the 2.0.0 update.
Is it pirates fault that GBA is not available on Eshop for 3DS but is for Wii U?
No, it’s your idiocy. OG 3DS is not enough powerful to do a satisfactory emulation with some basic emulator options.
Once they release it, of course.
Hopefully!
Yay for TE. Meanwhile the “scene” is not releasing the bootrom exploit … For no reason whatsoever.
There is a reason…
No. There’s not.
Nope. No reason whatsoever. Even the whole moral high-ground is a mental mistake. For a good point see this nice post: https://gbatemp.net/threads/atmosphere-nx-custom-firmware-in-development-by-sciresm.496832/page-23#post-7883729
Thanks for the link, interesting thread.
Go back pong on psvita.
This is the stupidest thing ever wrote to condone piracy. Wow.
Thanks for the update wololo
However they have not explicitly confirmed anything. These are just suppositions made by desperate pirate.
Keep telling yourself that.
You too.
Put up or shut up!
I always make sure I “Stay Clam” when reading about future hacks for consoles lol 😀
In other words if you want to hack your system in the future then you should buy a Switch before the revised Switches are released. That’s the only way to future proof your Switch for homebrew.
Can’t wait to finally be able to back up my saves and use emulators!
If only Nintendo wasn’t so foolish and included basic features like backing up saves, I wouldn’t be tempted to hack my switch. Such idiocy from Nintendo and it’s sheep defenders.
Oh well, can’t wait for the Switch to be cracked open and let the hackers make it the system it should be. Until then, got hundreds of moons to collect in Mario.
Pirates still use save backup or vc to justify themselves pirating games and speaking of “sheep defenders”.
Looking foward to see moving goalpost when these features will arrive probably in september.
^Salty braindead sheep found
Do not be so hard on yourself.
“When these features arrive”
The sheep still praying Nintendo gives them basic features, while hackers enjoy them now. Keep waiting forever kid.
it will cost $50, will have a simple chip encrypted to heck to try to make chinese copiers be late to the party with their $5 perfectly working clone. It will also work only with the v1 version switches that have been sold and currently being sold, so their yadda-yadda about being compatible with all firmwares is true to an extent 🙂 The same *** again as with coolrunners then cr3, etc.
The Atmosphere Team already confirmed that they CFW will run on any firmware installed on the first Switch model/batch. They are focusing on a Summer (North Hemisphere) release. I think they told that openly just to screw Team Xecuter plans, which I loved hehe.
