# Getting Started

|

### Finding Serial Number
|
||||
### Different CFWs
|
||||
|
||||
The first thing to do is determine if your Switch is vulnerable to fusee-gelee, the exploit we will be using to launch CFW.
|
||||
The first thing to decide is what CFW you want to use.
|
||||
|
||||
This vulnerability was independently discovered by several different Switch hacking teams, and multiple variants of it were released to the public in April 2018 after a 90-day disclosure period ended. Nintendo and NVIDIA were made aware of the issue before the public release as a result, and Switch systems that are not vulnerable to the exploit started being spotted in the wild in July 2018. NVIDIA [publicly acknowledged the flaw](https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4660/~/security-notice%3A-nvidia-tegra-rcm-vulnerability) in April as well.
|
||||
|
||||
Patched units can be identified by their serial number. This number can be found on the bottom of your Switch adjacent to the USB-C port, or in the Settings applet at **System -> Serial Information**.

### Check Vulnerability
|
||||
|
||||
The homebrew community has crowdsourced a list of known serial numbers which are vulnerable to fusee-gelee.
|
||||
|
||||
- If your serial number is on this list as "potentially patched", follow the guide and see if your system works.
|
||||
- If your serial number is listed as "patched", there is nothing you can do at this time.
|
||||
- If your system is patched, it is highly advised to keep it on 4.1.0 or lower, if possible, as there may be a vulnerability for these versions in the far future.
|
||||
|
||||
?> **Notice**
|
||||
If you are unsure if your serial is patched, you can test your console yourself following the instructions [here.](sending_payload.md)
|
||||
|
||||
The following information is based on [this GBATemp thread](https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-informations-by-serial-number-read-the-first-post-before-asking-questions.481215/).
|
||||
There are two main CFWs:
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- tabs:start -->
|
||||
|
||||
#### **Serials**
|
||||
#### **Haxchi**
|
||||
- Requires a legitimately installed paid DS VC game from the eShop.
|
||||
- Can be used to launch CFW directly from the Wii U Menu.
|
||||
- Needs to be re-launched from the Wii U Menu every reboot to enable CFW.
|
||||
- It's functionality can be extended by installing ColdBootHaxchi (CBHC) to a Haxchi installation.
|
||||
|
||||
?> Select the tab that corresponds to the beginning of your serial number.
|
||||
#### **Haxchi and ColdBootHaxchi (CBHC)**
|
||||
!> Installing CBHC incorrectly can brick your Wii U. Make sure to follow the following rules when installing CBHC:
|
||||
- The DS game has to be legitimately installed from the eShop
|
||||
- Don't format the system while CBHC is installed
|
||||
- Don't delete the user account that bought the DS VC game
|
||||
- Don't re-install the same game using wup installer or from the eShop
|
||||
- Don't install Haxchi over CBHC
|
||||
|
||||
#### **XAW1**
|
||||
- Requires a working Haxchi installation.
|
||||
- Automatically launches CFW on every boot.
|
||||
|
||||
- If your serial starts with **XAW1**:
|
||||
- XAW10000000000 through XAW10074000000 are unpatched
|
||||
- XAW10075000000 through XAW10120000000 are potentially patched
|
||||
- Serials above XAW10120000000 are patched
|
||||
#### **Mocha**
|
||||
- Does not require any game, and is therefore free.
|
||||
- Needs to be re-launched through the browser exploit every reboot to enable CFW.
|
||||
|
||||
#### **XAW4**
|
||||
|
||||
- If your serial starts with **XAW4**:
|
||||
- XAW40000000000 through XAW40011000000 are unpatched
|
||||
- XAW40011000000 through XAW40012000000 are potentially patched
|
||||
- Serials above XAW40012000000 are patched
|
||||
|
||||
#### **XAW7**
|
||||
|
||||
- If your serial starts with **XAW7**:
|
||||
- XAW70000000000 through XAW70017800000 are unpatched
|
||||
- XAW70017800000 through XAW70030000000 are potentially patched
|
||||
- Serials above XAW70030000000 are patched
|
||||
|
||||
#### **XAJ1**
|
||||
|
||||
- If your serial starts with **XAJ1**:
|
||||
- XAJ10000000000 through XAJ10020000000 are unpatched
|
||||
- XAJ10020000000 through XAJ10030000000 are potentially patched
|
||||
- Serials above XAJ10030000000 are patched
|
||||
|
||||
#### **XAJ4**
|
||||
|
||||
- If your serial starts with **XAJ4**:
|
||||
- XAJ40000000000 through XAJ40046000000 are unpatched
|
||||
- XAJ40046000000 through XAJ40060000000 are potentially patched
|
||||

|
||||
- Serials above XAJ70050000000 are patched
|
||||
|
||||
#### **XAJ9**
|
||||
|
||||
- If your serial starts with **XAJ9**:
|
||||
- These units are refurbished units provided by Nintendo. No information is known yet, but they are potentially patched.
|
||||
|
||||
#### **XAK**
|
||||
|
||||
- If your serial starts with **XAK**:
|
||||
- No information is known yet- you are encouraged to continue with the guide and report on the GBATemp thread if the guide worked, along with the first few digits of your serial number.

### Console Preparation
|
||||
### Compatible DS VC Games
|
||||
|
||||
!> **Important**
|
||||
Before setting up the console for homebrew, it is important to have at least one eShop game, application (such as Youtube or Hulu), or a game demo such as [10 Second Run RETURNS](https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/10-second-run-returns-switch). A game cartridge will also work, but note that the cartridge will have to be inserted in order to run homebrew if you wish to go this route. Once you have a game or application, you are prepared to continue on with the guide.
|
||||
?> This is only needed if you want to use Haxchi or CBHC as your CFW. Mocha CFW does not require a game.
|
||||
|
||||
The following games are compatible with Haxchi:
|
||||
- Animal Crossing: Wild World
|
||||
- Big Brain Academy
|
||||
- Brain Age
|
||||
- DK: Jungle Climber
|
||||
- Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training
|
||||
- Kirby: Canvas Curse
|
||||
- Kirby: Mass Attack
|
||||

|
||||
- Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
|
||||
- Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
|
||||
- Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
|
||||
- Mario Kart DS
|
||||
- New Super Mario Bros.
|
||||
- Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky
|
||||

|
||||
- Super Mario 64 DS
|
||||
- Wario: Master of Disguise
|
||||
- WarioWare: Touched
|
||||

||||

|
||||
