JAILBROKEN with a PAPERCLIP - How the Nintendo Switch security was defeated

- Where there's a will, there's a way. And jailbreak enthusiasts came up with a creative way to circumvent security restrictions on the Switch back in 2018.

It seems Nintendo has a history of their consoles being jailbroken via common household items
Fun fact I'm pretty sure the DS had a game with a VULNERABILITY that allowed users to jailbreak their device. I don't remember which one it was but that company probably made bank that day.
@@FredDoesStuff0423 There was one that was a game card with a micro-sd slot in it which allowed for gba and ds roms. I have one. I'll go check what it's called.
yes you are right about that, i think tech rules made a video about it
@@FredDoesStuff0423 Yeah it was Cubic Ninja via Ninjhax for the 3DS (there was also IronFall: Invasion via Ironhax and a couple others)
@@FredDoesStuff0423 wasnt it something with cubes or ninjas or whatever? I know what you mean tho, cant really remember either.
Jailbreak: a way to unlock the full potential of your device.
My iPhone on jb it’s a beast
@@__Baileyy I use Zeus it needs no jailbreak
@@supersonic9236 what’s that
Is it possible to jailbreak that latest Nintendo switch?
@@ocec623 he explains all that in the video.
You're soft-spoken voice and warm lighting make for a nice escape from all the annoying content out there right now even from some of my favorite creators , you're the perfect example of not needing to over do your showmanship in order to get your point across while being entertaining.
Thanks man, really nice of you to say. Glad you enjoyed!
Just found him, and thats 100% accurate
Too much of anything sucks. I wouldn't want to only watch soft-spoken people every time I watch a CZcams video, you're just bias because you don't watch soft-spoken people often so it's a breath of fresh air so to speak when you DO run into one. My comment isn't to take away anything from Rewire because I like him, it's moreso me defending other CZcamsrs from potentially unfair judgement because they don't present their content is a super calm soft-spoken way.
@@KennyMaximum to say that i think is very rude i agree with whoever said it first
@Super crossing games if you think THAT'S "really rude", oh boy you must have a hard time on the internet lmao
That's how we get Switch Pro, guys. We just have to find another ROM bug, and Nintendo will be forced to order a new, improved chip from nVidia.
Nope, they fixed it with a new revision even before the switch lite was announced.
@@KUIJEN8659 It was proven to be cracked, but Nintendo constantly patches the newer ones
@@Brain_pocketer Not if we find another boot rom exploit or bug then a new switch will be released and keep doing it until Nintendo gives up or adds a way to detect hacked nintendo switches and even then people will find a way to bypass it if a bit of technology exists, someone will find a way to jailbreak it.
Just to clarify, you should not use the paperclip or tinfoil methods to do this, sure it works, but you risk scratching the connectors and possibly cause them to stop working right; it can damage the connectors in the rails, always use a jig, they are design to be less damaging to the connectors.
also, if you bridge the Joy-Con power supply pin to anything else, you'll fry your switch
@@alt.egoistic tbh, any jig works, just get one with up to 4 stars, i got a black one and a red one from two diff shops and they both work fine. Also they are cheap anyways, worth it for how much it would cost to replace your switch XD
it’s all good i have a pro controller bcs my connecter was already broken
@@TheMemeSniper I don’t have much to lose since I’m planning to upgrade any way
@@Duckyy. you *do* have much to lose. if you fry your vulnerable unit that's it. it's gone. if you send it to nintendo for repairs they'll realize it's not patched and send back a patched one.
Fascinating stuff. Reminds me of the old PSP jailbreaking days.
I’m gonna jailbreak my old PSP 3001 on Sunday when the new battery and charger get delivered I recently found my old psp from my elementary school days in the early 2000s 😝😝
I modded all my psp's my vita's a beast all emulators and can play any vita game for free. My switch was patch but I would mod it if one becomes available
I remember taking one of the pins out of my psps battery so i could mod it
psp wasnt this complicated even during its infancy of hacking, even when they invented the pandora battery that not only hacks but said to be able to unbrick a psp which was common during the original psp hacking experiments p.s hacking all the psps and vita i can tell you psp3000 is the biggest money grabbed ever, looks exactly like a psp 2000, also i heard psp-e was made, lazy sony…
I miss mine so much ... It got stolen a few years ago... Still angry about it
Me in 2019 looking to buy a switch: I better make sure it’s the new battery life version.
Me in 2022 getting interested in emulation and watching videos about jail breaking: dammit!
Me who held on to the one I got in 2017 on my birthday:
Same ☹️
Same dude
I held on to my mine, but just my luck, the sd card slot broke
@@artgremlin4750 solder a new one if you have a soldering iron. also if ur not skilled just see a yt tutorial
Was googling around because was curious if it had been done. Incredibly well made video with some fantastic background information.
Thanks Josh!
This was the first time I’ve ever watched one of your videos and I actually found it quite chilled and calming compared to over tech channels. It was a nice break. Keep up the nice videos
❤️
Cool tip if you don't want to connect to the internet with your jail broken switch.
You can use a second switch by buying one or use your friends switch to send you game updates via Bluetooth.
Nintendo Switch has this amazing feature that let you use Bluetooth to share a game update to another switch so you guys can be on the same game version without connecting to the internet and it's used for Lan parties but great for a modded switch as well.
Or yknow, dual boot like everyone else.
Cool fact though, I'm not rich, so I haven't got two switches to discover that myself.
i have two switches to i will try
@@obscenity One mistake, or one agressive update, and you lose your entire account. That's the far more expensive risk.
@@myria2834 its very difficult to accidentally run homebrew on the clean boot, since nothing is installed on that one, you would have to deliberately modify the clean system instead of the emulated one
One word: emunand
All hail the power of the paper clip 📎
🙌📎🙌
the power of clippy fills you with determination..........
Everyone laughed at that little guy when he first appeared on the Microsoft Office app back in 2000... but look at him now!! 😂
It means well for those in the military too..
People against people ever reenlisting 🥴😂☕
Didnt a paper clip also jailbreak the wii at one point
really love your content man, wish u had a larger following
Thanks man thats really nice to hear!
You can jailbreak the new improved battery one if you have soldering skills and the proper modchip. I did it in my friend's Switch Lite.
Your videos are so full of information, well done, and coincise! Hope you channel can grow soon!
Agree except for going over the Microsoft part. Microsoft allows you to run unverified code on their xbox's one and series s/x in a developer mode.
Hey glad I found your channel very informative
Welcome aboard!
It seems Nintendo's biggest foe when it comes to security is small metal objects
they're just a foe in general
I'm tempted to get the OLED switch so I can transfer my current Switch profile to it, then homebrew my original Switch for emulators and other apps. Nintendo just isn't doing it for me at the moment when it comes to their older games. The state they released OoT in should make them ashamed, and still no Gameboy titles on the Switch as of yet either. This console deserves so much more.
I still have an original realease date switch, and I have chosen to not jail break it. But in the future I have the same plans as you. I will most likely purchase another model probably the OLED version, and turn my older one into a homebrew machine.
Yeeeeeeah man… honestly it seems like nintendo doesn’t really care anymore. Ever since iwata died it’s been different. Idk I blame Doug bowser 😂
@@RxCGaming its like they are begging us to pirate older games because they refuse to sell them
@@Schnort There's no shortage of people willing to pay through the nose for a remastered Metroid Prime Trilogy. And despite all the rumors, nothing has come of it yet. It's like they hate profits or something. Idk.

Thanks
Please keep finding more ways for us to be able to do what we want with this consle
Heck, I don't even finish the games. Sometimes, I enjoy the process of jailbreaking more than actually playing the games.
Make some themes, customize and file transfer lol.
such clarity and depth! amazing video tho 3.8k subs just isn't enough
Thanks! 😁
He needs 1 mill
One of the hardest nintendo devices to mod…
Not because it’s hard to do, but because all nintendo consoles previously only needed an sd card, this one needs a paper clip as well as an sd card.
It took much longer to crack some of the consoles like the 3DS and by the time it was done, the hackers have full knowledge of the system architecture and security. This major bug came early in the Switch's lifecycle which is more damaging. I'm sure the hackers are still exploring the Switch to this day.
subbed. loving the chill vibe
Thanks!
Just a quick question, where did you get the joy cons from? They are so nice 😁
thanks for your soft voice its 12:16 at night and your making me sleepy '.o
Haha, thanks!
Great video
I love the connections to 1983
i truly love my modded switch themes, stream ps4/5 to switch to play games portable, retroarch - emulation, android etc the list can go on. i paired it with a battery pack which give me extra 10 hours of battery and has a similar kickstand as the oled.
Nice! :D
@@rewire7899 where to buy modded switch?
@@user-Void-Star where can we get it done more like it
@@braylinbmacc what?
@@user-Void-Star I was saying we can we get our switch’s modded instead of buying one modded
Great video break down
Good video very informational man 👍👍
Thanks! 😁
I've been studying to become a cyber specialist the last several years. I really like your content, you are well spoken and great at giving good info
Thanks for the education!
Thanks 😁
Bro where did you get those joycon shells? They’re awesome!
Too bad we can't install Linux and Android on Mariko powered devices...
I don't really like v1 Switch, it gets quite hot and has terrible battery life. Even with thermal mod (removing copper shim between Tegra chip and heatsink + reapplying thermal paste). But the fact it can be jailbroken like that makes it golden.
So thats why my switch overheats and slips out of my hand
I have a v2 as my main and the fan doesnt turn on half of the time because its so cool and the v1 gets burning for no reason
The Wii was originally jailbroken by tweezers. That’s how the main dev team got their name. Team Twiizers
If you still use a paperclip as a jig, be careful not to allow pin 4 to touch any other pin. Pin 4 supplies 5 volts of power to the joycons, which if it touches any other pin, reroutes the power to the console and basically fries the hardware.
Find it funny that this is not the first time that you could jailbreak a Nintendo console by pinching or touching something on the system with a simple tool. The wii could run custom code by touching 2 pins with something simple like tweezers
Great video - keep up the good work and by this time next year you’ll probably have at least 100K Subs, that’s what I predict.
Thanks - glad you like the video!
Your voice sounded like watching an ASMR but with informative content;
But it's kinda interesting how this exploit works, I wonder what the person who discovered it was doing, if it was somehow an accident or he knew what he was doing to achieve that
why with a paperclip i would think a paperclip would only open doors not completely jailbreak a nintendo switch well done on your work keep it up!
Those controllers look super nice
Fantastic had to subscribe, I need to jail breack my switch
Thanks! Great you have you on board 🔥
Ur videos r rlly good
Thanks Ryan - glad you like them! :D
This reminded me of the time the Wii was also jailbreaked with tweezers!
All hail the paperclip! and tweezers in Wii era!
WII jailbroken with a tweezers , Switch with a paperclip....Damn imma try the next console with a needle🤷🏾
Damn it took you that long to find a paperclip.. works since about day one..
There's ALWAYS a way around their security measures. But those ways are way more technical and time consuming and most ways involve equipment that most people have never even heard of others require building of new circuits and gadgets on the spot but TRUST me when I say there Is ALWAYS a way around it. 😉
Is this available for all switches or just those unlatched ones?
Great content 👍👍👍
Thanks :D
Their devices securities are not even strong the fact that Yuzu (Switch emulator) was first released literally less than year after the Switch came out is insane.
So great video
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it!
From the folks that brought you the tweezers... PAPERCLIP!!!

Funny part here is: Kate submitted a bootrom bug for up to a $200k bounty without consent from the person who found it. And that's a massive breach of trust.
Yo where did you get those sick shells my man I've been looking EVERYWHERE
I had a possibly patched switch it was patched after checking I got one in nice deal along with extra brand new extra set of joycons which itself is close to 6500 inr or 80 dollars with full set of unpatched switch in unused condition for about 20k inr ( 250 dollars ) feeling so nice didnt have to buy those expensive switch games now I believe in future the unpatched switch price will rise exponentially unless a soft modding exploit arrives for v2 or the chip for modding switch clone comes and its sold super cheap
where ?
@@TDBButGodDid india bought it from delhi
@@rockykhan6338 cool. I got mine used from a game store since the original owner traded it in to buy a special edition
@@indy5280 buddy the switch you got was Unpatched ???
@@rockykhan6338 yes
Are you able to flip back and forth between the homebrew interface and the original stock operating system? If so, will your system be detectable if you go online?
look up dual booting if you dont have the answer. yes and no
Yes you can boot into either a. Your sysnand aka your basic switch, b. Your syscfw aka your basic switch but with modding capabilities, or c. Your emummc which is like a separate switch where you should do your modding stuff and bannable stuff. If you want to go online on emummc for whatever reason, you will need to setup 90dns which blocks Nintendo servers so Nintendo doesn’t detect your switch
DIRE QUESTION does this work with patched switches like for example the XKW1 model?
Unfortunately not ☹️
I feel like if I'm buying a product I should be able to do whatever I want with it
Because you should.
Jailbreak:Paper clips second coming
Your voice is so welcoming😅
for the wii, it was a tweezer, now its a paperclip. next up we gonna be using staples
He forgot to mention how all switches are still technically moddable, with a little soldering skills and a purchase from a sketchy website
But how do I know if my switch is such a model wich I can jailbrake?
Could you please tell me where did you buy the Joycon shells? Thanks in advance.
It’s called eBay
The Wii: Tweezers
The Switch: Paper clip
Some things don't change much huh lmao
Do you know how to get the retailer softwhere on the swich aka the swich you can play on display at a GameStop
Cool video
I'm not buying an RCM jig so I be taking my chances with this and becareful doing so
Should I get new joycons? My joycons been messing up I don't know if is the system or the joy-cons. I click on the left joycon when in hand held it says is not inserted when it is. Same with the right hand and Is only playable detached
Hey One quick question do you know how to install Smashline Hook and the NRO Hook (Beta) On Nintendo switch? I Just don’t know how to set it up.
this is giving me Team Twiizers vibes
What theme is that? I like it and want to use it for my own switch (yes it has cfw)
funny that they say "just a paperclip" and the rcm loader
i lost me save deta but will i still have my new save deta
or the save deta of new game,s that i got
On the thumbnail the fact on the Nintendo switch showing deltaruin bigger then the other games scares me.
I sold my computer to buy a second moddable switch. Have wanted one for a long time and this year it finally happened.
Nice!
@Dobbies Revenge How much?
@@zonrox4563 69,420 dollars
@@DaBarbeaqque 😂
@Dobbies Revenge how much does it cost
spooky asmr
Ma men is using TWRP on switch. Good old days with my S7 I remember
I got my switch before the lite and new chip came out so I probably have one of the ones you can do this with, but I would never do it,
I would love for Nintendo to make an update for something we can download to watch films on, without having to watch them on youtube if you have bought them, I would just like to put in an SD card of films I have already downloaded and watch them, that's the only thing am missing from the switch or to watch Disney plus.
If they could add them two things I would love my switch even more than I already do lol.
Can it do anything bad when you mail break it?
god, yes. I am doing this immediately.
reminds me of the wii back in the day the wii was hacked by a paper clip
So just add the dongle and run it on switch without a pc just need internet to search for games ?
Thanks for your video. Bought a used switch recently which has been manufactured in 2018 and thus doesn't have the Tegra X1 plus chip (It's the Pokemon Edition). On ismyswitchpatched however, it still says that it is patched and doesn't support jailbreaking. Can you explain to me why?
Hey - thanks, glad you enjoy the vid! I think those consoles are unpatched so Im not sure why it says it is. You'll have to give it a go and let us know!
@@rewire7899 it has got the serial number XAJ70058153XXX but on the back side, it says HAC-001 indicating the old version.
From other sources I've read, it also says that the Switches with the serial number starting with XAJ7005 are patched.
That confuses me as it's definitely the OG switch version without improved battery and it's from 2018.
Maybe try to continue jailbreak the switch anyway, if you're not convinced that your switch is patch. I would do that if mine got patched as well.
@@buizelmeme6288 I've read more stuff now. From my understanding, there has also been a hardware fix for Switch that had the Tegra X1 Chip.
@@je6a478 huh, so that means that patched switch no longer boot into rcm mode with the paperclip method?
Watching Halo 3 being played on the Switch made me do the biggest double-take in 2023 so far.
Who would win in a fight.
The great and all-mighty Nintendo or Clippy?
Now we know. XD
Hey, can you please respond. If the switch needs an os update. is it safe to do so with mods
I'd ask in the Nintendo Homebrew server
So all you need is the rcm and the jig with a unpatched switch and thats it?
2023 its actually very hard to find a switch that u can jailbreak using this method.
The switch paperclip the wii twezers💀💀💀
Could you do a video on the progress of jailbreaking the latest versions of the switch? I want to know if people are actually working on that or not.
Apparently it's never happening
probably after the switch becomes obsolete and new consoles come out
I have an rcm loader with jigg on my one switch but wanted to get one to flip and wanted to provide the customer with the RCM loader and jigg can u just inject diff firmware just using just a jigg!?
Wii: jailbroken with a pair of tweezers. Switch: jailbroken WITH A FRICKIN PAPERCLIP
Drawing Pin for the next console?
@@rewire7899 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
i don't know why, he looks like a crackhead gamer version of rick astley
What if I want to play a game that I have legitly purchased, but wish to play on an unsigned device that I own?
With a gen 1 switch is it permanent or di I have to us the 2 pin and the injector every time I turn of the console
So long story short you need much more then a paper clip 😂
I didn't know this was an asmr channel
if i jailbreak it then can i transfer roms to my computer from the switch for emulation
My switch is "possibly patched" but I'll try to mod my switch....this year...and hopefully it doesn't break...like my beloved 3ds was
Was that switch running TWRP Recovery? I've been in the Android dev community since 2011, and that sure looked like TeamWin Recovery Project.
