Hello everyone,
I recently got a perfectly modded with auto-rcm enabled on it, but without all of the other hardware-related stuff to enter and quit rcm mode.
The problem is, i know how to shut it down properly ( to avoid battery drain ), but i dont know something :
When i power on my switch again, will it enter rcm mode again automatically or i need a jig for the first time ?
For those who didn't understand what i meant, when my switch is properly shut down it won't enter rcm mode when i plug it to my computer and i fear that i won't be able to inject Hekate playload again.

If the RCM mode is enabled it will boot to RCM after turning it on even if it have been colpletely shut down

I think you still need to hold the VOL+ button even with autoRCM turned on if you are using the tegraRCMgui. I could be wrong though, since I do not boot that way. I can try to test later.

You are correct sir. AutoRCM only removes the need for the jig. You still need to hold volume +, press power, (and boot with dongle for sxos).

I second @Hackerjac's reply. If AutoRCM is enabled, you should hold the power button for 12-15 secs in order to properly shut it down after invoking "shut off" from within switch's shutdown options. Otherwise, it will still be in RCM Mode.
@Namrouch, if the switch is properly shutdown with AUTORCM enabled, you only have to press the power button before plugging-in the dongle or usb cable to inject the payload.
