Nintendo Switch FW Update 6.2.0 Blocks CFW!!

Nintendo Switch FW Update 6.2.0 is a game changer since its blocks all CFW as of now, DO NOT UPDATE if you like to keep using CFW.  Now most of us that use CFW probably think why should we worry, they will have it cracked in no time, just previous FW updates.

Well, this is not like previous FW updates where they just had to get a new master key, this is a game changer to key generation on the Switch. 

Now, this could take a really long time to crack and probably rebuild all CFW for the Nintendo Switch too, so we probably won’t see a quick fix for this FW in a day or two.

Once again do not update to 6.2.0 make sure you turn on airplane mode or use a DNS so you don’t accidentally update!

  8. Save the network settings
