Hacking Discussion [PSA] SX OS Banwave is here!!!

[NicoAICP]

So yeah, not banned here. Here is my guess:
You got banned for not having a cert in the xci/a cert not made for the game while you tried downloading the update.
The cert got sent to nintendo and they flagged you through that and banned you.
In my case, I am starting the games on sx os, then go into OFW and start the eShop and the games are being downloaded.

Good question

I already answered, but yes you can.

Not banned here and i updated my games directly in SXOS.

Your logic doesn't make sense to me. According to your example, being in SX OS or OFW doesn't matter because you state the bans are due to certificate mismatch. Cert or not, the dumps from BBB either have the same cert or they have been stripped depending on the dump. And as you mention we know certificates are matched to the game they were made for.

Have you replaced all your XCI certs? If so, were they for the exact game the XCI is for since the certs have to match the game?

What I'm getting at is that few people are going to have a matching cert for a dump because they are being pirated, meaning they didn't buy the game, meaning the don't have the correct header cert no matter what. You may be unbanned for now but it may catch up to you.

This is why I'm wondering if clearing logs will have any bearing on a ban or not. We won't know until more time goes by and someone is banned (and makes a post about it) that has been clearing their logs between each boot of SX OS and OFW.

So you can still get updates like on the 3ds? So basically there is no downside to a ban then?

I was testing this the other day.

SXOS updated all my backups via SXOS, even played games while online. Tried to connect to an online game using a backup which got the usual error. Legit game played online fine, eShop worked fine.

And today.... I can still play legit games online and still access the eShop while booted into SXOS.

I'm fully prepared to accept my ban if and when it comes.

It appears to me that all the bans so far have been related to LayeredFS, no?

 

[franciscomaianunes]

You can't play online anymore. Also you can't access the eShop directly. But there seems to be a workaround to download stuff from the eShop: https://gbatemp.net/threads/banned-users-eshop-is-still-usable-on-a-banned-switch-somehow.508461/

Some yes but there are also others reporting bans related to updating backups using TX's CFW

 

[pLaYeR^^]

The opposite, they're all related to updating backups using TX's CFW

That's not true. Some people reported about being banned and they have only used LayeredFS.

Time will tell on that one, I've only used SX OS and updated all my stuff fine. I'm not banned... yet..

 

[Tsunn7]

I only used hb with a bunch of emulators, always stayed in airplane mode. I'll check if I'm banned in a couple of minutes.

WRONG

No.. Some TX some LayeredFS. And some have used both and haven't been banned yet. Way too little data to know the exact cause.

 

[SkittleDash]

Nintendo: WHAT!? HE UPDATED A BACKUP!? SMITE HIM! But still let him update his backups.

 

[Draxzelex]

WRONG

Ok, I'll go fix my post. Information is moving really fast here...

Ok, as I stated, only used HB with some emulators (such as VGA and psnes, tried desmume too). Always in airplane mode, always cleared logs before booting into OFW and I'm not banned (yet).

 

[RazzerX7]
