V1 unpatched Banned randomly?

[Crung]

So i had a v1 unpatched laying around. I think,from what i remember, i only did heckate on it, maybe built the emummc but that was all.
I recently did a system update to 16.1 on it. I forgot how to do the explot on it (i was not holding vol power), and i ended up thinking that my card got corrupted somehow, so i loaded other sd cards into it. I got a message at some point complaining that the sd needs to be formatted bla bla bla (so until now ive been power cycling it and trying different sd's).
So to sum it up.
Switch was unbanned 2 days ago (i think it was unbanned because i was able to system update OFW,never really checked it)
loaded up some sd cards into it
now its banned.
Do keep in mind i have dns on all my sd cards(i literally copy paste so no way i did not have them,plus i never booted heckate since the system update,aka since it was unbanned)
I barely touched it, personally i never installed a game on it.

What went wrong?Why is it banned?

You might have gotten a temp ban.

its perma by the error code

I think,from what i remember

You did something and cant remember, you wouldn't get banned for no reason

captain obvious liked your post.
Im trying to find out what was the thing that got it banned. Since i havent done games on it, and i also have dns on all emummc

You only get banned for piracy or cheating, so your DNS probably failed

Perhaps someone you live with and doesn't know what they're doing used your Switch while you weren't around.

You did more than just install hekate.

You installed some sort of nsp.

Installing ANY nsp will get you flagged for a ban. If anything was on your main menu that isn't a legit Nintendo game that you own, you're going to get banned.
Changing your avatar can do it, cheating in games can do it.
Having played a pirated game and deleting it and then going online will do it.

As for DNS, I assume you mean DNS.mitm since just changing your DNS in internet settings is in the system and not in your sd card. Are you sure it's even set correctly?

Your issue isn't that you got banned, the issue is you weren't blocking yourself from Nintendo correctly. DNS.mitm and exosphere are how you should be blocking yourself.

Obviously you didn't do it correctly, that why you got banned.

im talking about 90dns. the txt file that works with atmosphere. Is that not the way to do it? It blocks all console logs from sending to nintendo servers+ accesing any of their servers

90dns isn't the same as the txt file.

You need to have the txt file in the right place and also have the correct name.

yeah you re right i just noticed its not called like this. So i followed this guide.

SDD=a folder where i keep a copy of what needs to be on the sdcard on a fresh install in case the SD card gets corrupted

 

[linuxares]

system_settings.ini - what does this one say?

EDIT: Also those host files look odd. Not sure what guide that is but looks very strange
EDIT2: I noticed that was a log file they showed. Ignore.

Icognito=exosphere right?

DNS blocking can sometimes never work. The best way to keep yourself safe from a console ban is by being offline ALL of the time.
