A few days ago we talked in detail about how the Nintendo Switch Firmware 6.20 managed to fix a hardware security flaw that allowed hacking and homebrew through a software update and it was a technical achievement on Nintendo’s side, but it seems that Nintendo Switch Firmware 6.20 Cracked version is already complete and we’ll be seeing the homebrew scene back alive in a few days.

What this means is that now that they are inside the console, they can start working on optimizing CFWs for the latest version of the firmware, meaning, the software required to actually carry out the hacking and homebrew options will start being implemented soon.
Currently, updating to Firmware 6.20 will result in a problem as there are no CFWs that support 6.20, so it’s better to remain at the current firmware version if you want to use your device for homebrew purposes.
Like we expected in our previous post about this issue, that it was only a matter of time before hackers would find a way to bypass the new method of prevention and it seems it has happened sooner than expected.
