Dude, I spent an hour watching videos and trying to make paper clip jigs. Found your video and was done in 15 minutes . Appreciate this, it was a much easier way to get it done without destroying your pins.
I also spent over an hour trying the paperclips lol

I stupidly did my nails yesterday so they were long, but this worked like a charm! I'm stationed overseas and my RCM jig wont be here for a bit so I wanted to try this- easy! Good explanation also!
I just lost my jig, and I was installing some mods which made my Switch crash and reboot into sysnand. I just went to the kitchen and made this, and it worked! Thank you so much.
Thank you so much, no other methods were working, and here I am at 2:18 AM, with the perfect tutorial!
I tried a lot with the paper clip method, but it didn´t worked, so I looked for an alternative and your video popped out. It worked 1st try, thank you very much :D
wanted to hack my switch but couldnt be bothered to wait like a day for an rcm jig to ship lol so i tried this and i somehow managed to get it to work and now my switch is hacked, btw, for anyone curious; you can get the width to 3mm (mine was like this) just fine; at the end of the day it worked!
I bought 3 RCM jigs and they did not work, then I tried this method and works on first try. Thanks alot.
OH MY GOD. I WAS TRYING THE PAPERCLIP THING FOR SO LONG AND APPARENTLY GOT IT A FEW TIMES??? I DIDNT KNOW THAT THE SWITCH DOESNT BOOT WHEN YOU GET IT (CRYING). THANKS FOR SAVING ME HOURS LMAO
Worked first try😅, had no ruler for measurements so I went off of instinct

So do you need to put the mod on there beforehand? Seems this video just goes in media res.
One thing not mentioned is how the tin foil CAN touch more than the last 2 pins. I think you should make the foil less than 1/2 an inch wide also. I was having trouble with that. I probably just have some thick foil as is. When I folded the long skinny strip in half, it was too thick to slide into the joycon rail.
Found another video where the guy said to keep the foil to the one side as much as possible. I tried it, worked. So no, you don't need to worry about it touching more than the furthest 2 pins. The tin foil on my controller had 3 obvious pin indents meaning it was touching 3 pins.
Then DON'T shut down unless you plan on shorting the pins again. You can reboot and inject payloads but if you shut down, might as well buy a jig for a few bucks or 3d print one with a paperclip.
what was the other video
So it can touch 2-3 pins and still work right?
thanks brother, that part stressed me out a bit
@@matthewlopez00 You're welcome. Glad it helped someone.
This worked like a charm on the first try and only took about 30 minutes to get going! Thanks!
Thanks for your tutorial. It worked for me. Unfortunately I got to the point to where i found out my switch was patched and couldn't go any further 😞
respect
How did you find out
You fought
I was a bit risky and just did it without tape but it worked first try after trying the paper clip for an hour ty !
yeah same
Was wary while doing it but worked perfectly! Got the success screen from rekado so now I'm moving forward. Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks, saved me a ton of messing around with paperclips, this went as smooth as butter
I tried your way and paperclip and from what i learnt is that the paper clip is way more reliable the paper clip can be used many times but the foil can only be used once or twice and i havent got it to work once with the foil and you have to be very precise in conclusion use paperclip method guys😊
Thanks man, I lost my jig and did this in less than 5 minutes and got it booted into rcm first try.
i was watching this on the switch I'm modding 💀
Incredible, got this to work in just 2 tries. Thanks for the step by step and being thorough!
Worked like a CHARM!
I was trying every different method, until I considered that the problem might be my JIG. And it was! Never have been happier that something I bought was faulty!
Also, I managed to get it to work on first try, so its not difficult at all.
props dude.
i eyeballed everything and jammed it in. got it first try
Worked like a charm! Thank you! I didn't have a ruler so I didn't measure but it worked from the first try!
I spent soooo long trying the paperclip method but this one worked first try! 👍👍👍👍
worked perfectly. I just eyeballed it and used the flat end of a spare hard drive as a straight edge.
Thank you man! I tried with paperclip method and it didn't work. This one is simpler and easier to do! Thank you!
thank you for making this amazing guide. I was able to get it into rcm mode within 30 minutes. worked first try
I bought a jig for few bucks just few days ago and this wasn't working. I panicked until i found ur video, and within 15 minutes or so i was able to enter in Hekate. Thank you very very much dude!
Thanks, worked first time once I'd actually read the payload instructions. I'm a little concerned I've flattened the 9 and 10 pins on the joycon but will know for sure once I remove the foil
I had some struggle, didnt have any tape, i was eventually able to get it to work by placing the foil on the pins of the switch itself and then carefully sliding the joycon into place
Cannot get it to work at all, it won't turn on for certain atm, but I get the sense it's not necessarily from recovery mode because nothing is working and I've had it do that today without the foil. I feel it's more likely to be something I'm doing than that. There needs to be some kind of close up (and uninterrupted) footage of the placement process, rather than a before and after with some close up shots between that. I understand that may be impossible, but I'm just putting it out there in case it's something feasible to attempt. I might just buy a jigrig at this point :/ Nice video though! Got the gist, just didn't work for me this time...
Edit: Oh and it's not broken, it's new (as in out of box, not the most recent models) and it turns on sometimes with a press of POWER after I connect different cords as well - like it resets it's position on what it thinks it could be doing??? And now I'm crosseyed... I'm thinking it's something to do with the controller not registering because I believe I'm unfortunately unable to avoid hitting the wrong pins
Edit II: Figured out the problem, I think. It's been working, but my firmware is in the "maybe patched" list so I was trying to verify with TegraRcmGUI. That was the problem, I believe - oh and *PSA* by the way: *TegraRcmGUI doesn't properly work with Windows 11.* I have no way of verifying whether my Switch is JB-able or not without massive hassle that may ultimately end up in a bunch of undesirable programs downloaded in a vain attempt to achieve a simple check that in truth, could very well end in negative results after all that effort, unfortunately :( Any fixes are immensely appreciated that don't involve changing OS or running VMs, as I know how to use them, but live in a place that incurs the 'oh so special' irritation of alot of data restriction and dropped speeds with an ISP in the year 2022.
I also have a "May be patched" switch; did you find a way to verify? Don't really want to waste time or money to then find out I can't do anything.
@@rr2308 use this custom rig and the downloads are free, just time to be wasted bro. Rather waste an hour and play any switch game than pay 100s for games
are you still breast fed?
@@BruceAllentools Ask mom, she would know 👌🏾
Lost my jig.. and was looking for free work around was gonna tried the paper clip mode until I saw your tutorial... Thanks for the video.. it's a very simple solution and I did it in first try!! thanks again!!
THANK YOU SMM 😭😭 u don’t know how many different tutorials I’ve watched!
First try did this didn’t think this would work but yup it worked was finally able to activate autorcm! Thank you!
Omg it works. I spent hours trying and the problem was my usb cable wasn’t fully connected ty
Saved me 8 bucks! Thanks a million man!
I've heard the foil does longterm damage to the switch...
I am saving some money to buy my switch, and i am looking for somethings to do when i get mine, your video looks the easiest to do, thanks
oh my god, thank you so much. for me worked only with your method, no paperclip, no jig, only tinfoil!
oh my god thank you very much!!! after thousand of videos, finally I find something that actually works!!!
This Method Totally Worked. Thanks Buds!
great tutorial and im sure it works well, but my hands are too shakey for this so I gave up lol
Great Video, it worked first try for me. I absolutely suck at folding and desipte that i managed to do it!
Worked first try ! Thank you so much
ok well i wrote this comment too fast. After i sent a first payload, the switch screen is black and cant even be booted normally. Maybe this version was patched.
Thanks, I tried twice with a paperclip and following another tinfoil video to no avail but this one worked first try :)
of course I see this after I bought a jig
Been tryna get my hands on a jig for like a week, thank you so much holy shit
still works was so easy to boot using this methoded thank you so much
You save my nintendo life.
Omg this is my first time doing this, i feel nervous 😭😭
Just did it twice. Cheers from Down Under mate.
Thé aluminium is actually stuck (like rlly deeply) what should I do ?
Eat the controller
Why with paper clip it's fist and last pin but with foil its 9 and 10?
Did it on first try! Thanks a bunch, great tutorial :)
When i do this my switch just stays turned off It doesnt go into recovery mode or turn on
this gets in my recomended just as i ordered an rcm jig 💀
worked perfectly thanks :)
Thanks dude that worked perfectly!
Thank you for the video. Very informative and super helpful
how do you turn on nintendo to acses rcm mode cause my nintendo aint turnin on...
This video came in handy. Thanks dude.
OH GOD THIS TOOK FOREVER!!!!
best method ever worked first time
thank you!! this worked for me first try
Bro this was so helpful tysm
You didn't say what side of the tin foil to use and now my Switch has fried and won't turn on!
Worked perfectly 2 times thanks a lot
Been trying for hours, I don't think I can get this to work
Thank you my brother much more efficient than the paper clip method at least for me lolz
I don't think you're supposed to Short 10 and 9, it's just 10 and then any ground pin (1, 2, or 7). Doing 9 and 10 may work but is more dangerous to the switch than it needs to be
Is this not dangerous while you can burn out stuff on the circuit board and destroy your console
Just never touch Pin 4 or you will fuck your switch. Usable pins for RCM are: 1,2 and 9.
It worked, thank you!
i did this and it doesn't turn on, like it's in rcm mode. But when I try to connect it to the pc to inject the payload it does and it boots to the default switch menu. What am i doing wrong?
it worked on my first try, without tape
It really worked second try 🎉🎉
thanks! It worked first try
This video assumes I'm rich enough to have foil laying around.
Thanks man really helped!
Appreciate the feedback Xft! Subscribe of you want more helpful videos out! I post new videos every week 😁
Ime confused so I followed the tutorial and done the opposite like you said and nothing has happened
Would this work with EXTRA's gum wrapper?
is it fine if the foil is touching the 8th pin as well?
nope. i know from experience
honestly i wouldn't do this due to the the possibility your switch gets fried but hey i guess some people want a truly free method to hack there switch lol
I did this method and it did not fry my Switch because I did everything correctly and I did not touch pin 4. I touched pins 9 and 10 like the video said.
@@eissathegamer9466 if you touch pin 4 is it just death?
@@frozenmana it will fry the switch and it will be dead and bricked if you touch pin 4
@@eissathegamer9466 thanks good to know
This is amazing! Thanks!
Thank you bro its work
I use pins 1 and 10 or 1 and 9 but 9 and 10 is an easier jump.
But why on pin 9 and 10? If I use a RCM JIG it is on pin 1 an 10.
1 and 10 arent the only ones that work
Nintendo wants to find your location sir
omg, you are the man, thank you so much, thats a sub :)
what happeens if the foil touches pin 8 a bit?
is it possible to jailbreak xkj 2000?
I installed Hekate onto the sd card. How do I run it now?
Is there a way that I don’t have to inject the payload every time?
@@procalc5 You still need a payload with auto rcm
im confused ive been told to connect 1 and 10 and now ive found thisvideo saying 9 and 10
you can do both. i've heard some people say the 9 and 10 pin method can be patched by a joycon update but idk if that's true.
i did it for the second try tnx
what happens if I left auto rcm on?
I don't have joycons what do
Bought an actual rcm jig and it didn’t work and then I tried this and it worked first time 😮🙏
you did it wrong then because the jig always works for me never have i failed to boot with the jig so somehow you did it wrong
Use VOL+ and the power button while the RCM jig is inserted. I think you did the wrong combination for RCM mode while your RCM jig was inserted. Did Tegra detect it with the jig and not the foil on your Joy-Con?
BTW I don't have an RCM jig and this video really helped me get into RCM mode.
What do you mean by holding down the power and volume up button?
Click and hold the Power and + volume near the top of the switch.
FIRST TRY thank you very much
does this work in 2024 or do I need to do pin 1 and 10
