that in itself won't cause a ban. but using a public header will lead to a ban most likely.
Just been banned a couple of days ago, so here's the situation,
I have 2 3DSs: a regular 3DS XL Sysnand version 4.5.0-9U on which I'm using my gateway card Emunand version 9.9.0-26U, and a New3DS XL that's always been hack free, latest firmware, never used gateway on it, all good.
All of my games are legit retail cartridges, never have used any pirated games, and the way I've been playing is I'd dump my own games, put the 3DZ file on the gateway card, play it on my regular 3DS, while using the actual cartridges on the New3DS, so no public headers whatsoever.
Had no problems at all up until recently when I think I've connected them both at the same time (I don't really know if it's the first time i logged them both online simultaneously this since I've never actually thought it'd be a problem so I didn't pay attention to this detail) and I don't really remember what I was playing, but it was either Smash or Alpha sapphire, one or the other, so that's the last thing I remember doing before the infamous "this device is currently banned" error message popped up the next day, what do you think caused this? And is it permanent or is it 15 days like everyone else has been posting? And should I contact Nintendo for that matter?

It is temporary, and contacting Nintendo won't help your situation.
Though your case is strange. Are you saying that you played Smash on both 3DSes at the same time online? Since both your retail version and the .3dz version have the same header and they were both online at the same time, that's probably what caused the ban.
Don't fret, it'll be resolved soon.

Yeah, both games were online at the same time using the same header, and I think I forgot to add that actually both 3DSes are banned, so you might be right, appreciate the help.
Now comes the hardest part, waiting..
Quick question though, could this mean that my private header has been flagged and therefore is now recognized by Nintendo as a public header?
If you used it at once on more than one device and got banned for it, that's more than likely.
No way to know for sure though.
That's a good question, and I don't have a good answer. Yeah it sounds possible though.
Just got unbanned!! So yeah apparently it lasted about two weeks, now I guess I should eliminate any duplicate headers just to be safe, I have several games with no online functions so I'll be injecting their headers into my online games
Not sure where you got that from, Sky3ds does work online.
With a Public header or Private (Granted if you use a public you'll likely just end up in this thread again).
Public headers are already apart of the Sky3ds Template file.
For a Private header, first you'd need to extract one from one retail cartridges using either a System on 9.2 firmware or lower for Gateway menu (Ripping the rom, then using Gateway Rom Patcher to get the header) - Powersave Adapter to extract the save file and mine the header from that - or buy one from someone online (Best to buy from someone trusted if you're going to go that route).
Next you'd follow one of these:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-v-1-5-1-sky-army-knife-a-sky3ds-template-tool.382118/
http://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial...y3ds-no-worries-about-manufacturer-id.393503/
With a Public header you're set to go online right off the bat and risk getting banned.
With a Private header once you're setup, you don't have to worry about a ban.
Just to clarify, anybody who wants to buy a private header needs to do it outside of GBAtemp as it breaks our terms and rules.
Just got unbanned. I've decided to buy a legal physical copy pokemon oras. I want to transfer all my pokemon from my old game to bank. My question is may i be banned again if i log in to the bank using save from my old game (sky3ds public header).
You'd need to connect to the online server in order to transfer your pokemanz, so yeah, i'd say there's a chance of receiving another ban hammer. :|
There's no point of continue playing without getting back my old work. My other question, is there someone here got multiple banned? Will getting banned again lead me to forever banned since I have no choice.
You should be able to launch Ninjhax with Sky3ds Cubic Ninja > Use the Save Manager to backup your Save > insert retail cart > inject save.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -
@
SylverReZ:
They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
