Soft modding requires a 5c plastic part off eBay, it’s already safe enough to do and requires no modifications.
But a flashcart is far simpler.
I thought that only worked on older models before 2018?
Correct! The newer models (including all OLED versions) were already patched from the factory (or more accurately, redesigned to prevent the soft-mod from working).
Yes, basically only switches made in the first year can be hacked (without soldering).
You need a lot of asterisks on that statement..
patched on all v2/lite/oled models and some v1 revisions
