Hacking Be careful! Avoid the Super Update Nag

[Draxzelex]

Really? That's nice, mods still needed though.

Yup. The DNS blocking we have just hides the message, it doesn't even remove it. Once Atmosphere comes out, we can finally say good-bye to the super update nag.

Super because you can't remove it without mods.

Ah okay so there was previously a browser update nag, and now it became persistent and permanent. If its unavoidable, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of staying on lower firmware? Like waiting for the 4.1.0 software exploit for example, if accessing the browser brings up the nag then how do you avoid it at all?

Basically, we have no way of removing the update nag currently. We know exactly how its triggered, but a solution has yet to be implemented. The CFW, Atmosphere, will most likely have a way of fixing the update nag because it will allow us to do anything on the console.

if i have a switch that's never once connected to the internet am i fine? or still needs airplane mode?

press the panic button baby.just stay away from the internet.

I'm on 4.1 myself, and have yet to connect to any network or set DNS. My switch and I are just patiently waiting for Atmosphere (also pre-ordered TX). I'm super hesitant on even trying to set DNS, because of this "super nag." Maybe I'll grow some balls and give it a shot, or at least try my 128gb SD card on it. For now though, I'll wait until I see otherwise. I'm extremely patient, but also pretty curious on what prompt will pop up. Decisions, decisions...

Airplane mode for the win. First thing I did when I turned in the console. Not a single nag

You can only get rid of the super update nag on 3.0. Don't worry, you're not alone in waiting for Atmosphere with a 4.1 Switch.

My switch has been in airplane mode so long it could have flown to Uranus and back by now, you know, if planes were able to fly in space.

Good to know, puts my mind at ease! Thanks. I'll wait to try the SD card on it as well.

Can someone link to where people have removed super nag using Linux?

I have never heard of this?

Removed

 

[Deleted-442439]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Figured if someone was able to do it in Linux it could be done in Hekate.

It can be done, its just that none have gotten round to it yet since toolchains and AMS have been the focus, and the browser is not really needed for lower FW until Deja Vu is released (excluding 3.0.0)

 

[Draxzelex]

Is it patcheble?

Yes, but right now Fusee does not have sdMMC support, so the only way now is to patch it through running Linux on the Switch and then applying a patch from there. Obviously that is not a easy solution, but until more is understood we have to wait.

I have never heard of this?

*If you are a dev you can fix it with Linux, but none have done so yet.

Meaning you have heard of a fix

Meaning you have heard of a fix

The fix is as easy as changing the value of a single function in the ns module, the fix is known, it's just that none have demonstrated it yet.

My question is does this prevent me from launching my games? I was going to ask a while ago but I never planned on being out of airplane mode anyway.

I have a 2.3.0 switch never connected with Wifi(only activated once and checked dns) and I am in airplane mode. Am I safe or could I have this super-nag?

Well you connected to Wi-Fi once which is enough to get the nag. But regardless if you have it or not, you can't use online services anyway so everyone is staying offline. We can't even get rid of it (yet).
