Hacking Discussion So uh...i got banned but i dont know how ?

[byakuuuu]

Hey all.

I recently found out that my Switch was banned , and i really dont know how i did get banned.

Heres what i did pretty mutch :

Everytime i was logging in CFW/romFS mode , i turned on Airplane mode (obviously) , when i was done playing around with theses tools i wiped the logs with the Clear Logs option in the hekate bootloader , and returned to the OFW.

I always did that and i never got banned. Also no , i never used online while playing around with the CFW/romFS mode as it would be a instant ban. I do recal , however , used SX OS twice , with airplane mode on , never used online , i just used it for shits and giggles. Then clearing logs etc. Yet , here i am banned , and i dont really know why. I'll try to contact Nintendo Support later , but im sure its gonna be a negative awnser by the looks of it.

Is it becose of the burned fuses or something ? If anyone can clear me on this issue/help me please do so ! I know you cannot unban a switch as of YET.

Anyways , Thanks again !

(ps : also yes i use my legit carts to play online)

logging in CFW/romFS mode

used SX OS twice

I think I found your answer.

 

[Kubas_inko]

Clear log got you banned probably.

 

[Mateto]

Just for clarity, ever used LayeredFS?

On the bright side, used switch tablets on ebay are like $150-$180.

 

[korko]

Quite a lot of evidence that clearing the logs = ban

Anyway, please fill this if you still haven't done that:

Why are you gonna contact Nintendo when you've broken their TOS
Are you that naive?

I think maybe the log clearer should add a mode to add dummy logs. If someone was online a few months ago, with a few games played in his log, then comes back with absolutely nothing in his log, not even a system restore, it is pretty suspicious.

I've never cleared my logs and I can still play online on OFW. Got SX OS for backups. Clean logs is probably suspicious.

Since 5.X have a lot more telemetry, it's quite dangerous to clear the logs actually. What I want to know if Nintendo can see RCM or not. If they can see you booted RCM and then Horizon they will see something is suspicious and can probably work out it's a CFW or such loaded.

 

[Paulsar99]

Did you use your account to play back ups? I heard your account can send your logs to nintendo once you connect it to the net.

Like I have been telling everybody. RCM is the cause, evidence keeps stacking up as none using the webkit exploit have been banned and only RCM users

The RCM Part itself is nothing they can ban you for. But the part with booting into Horizon through RCM WITH A PAYLOAD is something also interest me

Since the RCM is a recovery mode, it's suspicious atleast. So they might "flag" you to look closer. But then again, as you said. Can they see you booting from RCM to Horizon that isn't Nintendo stuff?
