How to launch a payload

---

Erista (Unpatched):

---

Step 1.

• You can either buy a jig off eBay, Amazon, Aliexpress, Wish or make your own with tinfoil.
  • The tinfoil method is not recommended as it could damage the pins in your rail.
  • If you have AutoRCM on then you can skip this step.
• Power down your console and place the jig inside of the right railing.
• Hold the (VOL +) button and press the button.
  • Your Switch display will be black, do not panic, this is normal and
    means that you're booted into RCM.

Step 2.

• Pick the type of payload injector you want to use:
  • TegraRcmGUI (Windows)
  • NS-USBloader (Windows, Mac, & Linux)
  • Web Fusée Launcher (Mac & Linux)
  • Rekado (Android)
  • NXBoot (iOS , requires a jailbroken device)
  • Portable Payload Injector (Can be bought on Amazon, eBay, Aliexpress, and Wish)

Step 3.

• Pick your desired payload with your payload injector of choice and connect your Switch to your PC.
  • If you use a portable payload injector, then you only need to connect your payload injector into your Switch.
• You should now launch into your desired payload.
