Clearing logs of tinfoil?

[AngryCinnabon]

Just got my OLED back from my installer but it looks like he installed Tinfoil, thankfully he had 90dns and DNS stuff enabled so it didn't get sent to Nintendo...is there a way I can clean the logs of any bannable offenses? Sorry if this is a question that's already been asked.

I'm not 100% but check "Switch/tinfoil"

I should have clarified I meant that I want to clean the switch logs so I don't get banned, not the tinfoil ones.

Oh you mean after a nsp installed? Well... I got terrible news for you then.
There is no 100% sure way to clean it, if the sysnand is dirty, it's always dirty.

Some have been lucky with this:

Tegra Explorer system wipe.

Was it installed on Sysnand or Emunand? If the former, check for Sysnand backups under /backups. If on Emunand…don’t worry about it…your Sysnand is still clean.

How to Determine the System Menu Version​

1. From the HOME Menu, select “System Settings.”
2. Scroll down the menu on the left-hand side and select “System.”
3. The current system menu version will be displayed under “System Update.”

post a screenshot of this page. If it ends in E you are safe. If it ends in S they tarnished your Sysnand.

why would an installer put tinfoil on a customers sysnand, shitty thing to do.

1000% what I was thinking…needs a swift kick in the balls if true.
(Or maybe a stern talking to, but something!)

So I guess I'm gonna have to try the system wipe and hope for the best as there's no backup and it was on my sysnand. I'm pretty upset but it is what it is I guess.

Did you confirm if your Firmware ends in E or S?

I did, I'll check one more time after I'm done backing up my sysnand.

if it was sysnand go back to the installer asking why they effed up your switch.

They mailed it to me so I can't really go back to them but I will mention this to them.

sorry, when i said "go back to them" i didn't mean physically, i meant talking to them. just a figure of speech.lol

good luck though

Just got a response from them, they admitted to using it but had exosphere and all the proper measures on to block Nintendo servers. I'm going to try the system wipe and hope for the best...I'm not big on Nintendo online so it isn't the end of the world for me tbh.

Just having "protection" doesn't mean they can just filth down you Sysnand. If it was a Emunand, no biggie. But not the sysnand.

Yeah...it is what it is though now, can't change the past. If I get banned then so be it.

They should honestly buy you a new Switch if so, but I digress.
