We have what, 3 people total saying they were banned only from only homebrew usage? Perhaps they were using a hekate build with LayeredFS included? I haven't upgraded mine and I don't intend to until SciresM says it's safe to use.
Well keeping it legit will not get you banned as you said jajaSafest right now is probably not to use homebrew at all, especially not the piracy stuff.
you supposed to get a send swith for online purposes only.thats questions has been discussed many times in here.looks like as soonas you use any cfw and etc nintendo detects that you have used.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)
To each their own, but I would rather have homebrew and get banned for it than not have homebrew at all. Homebrew has breathed new life into my Switch. I have a 5 year old son that plays on my Switch at work, and since "Daddy's saves have all the good stuff unlocked" he's constantly messing with my saves. For instance, in Super Mario Odyssey he spends all my coins on power moons that I don't need, so I can't save them towards expensive costumes like the skeleton. In Pokemon Quest, he keeps spending all my PM tickets on recharging the "battery", so I can't save up and buy the decorations in the shop.
And stupidly enough, the only thing I can do to stop him from doing that is taking the Switch away entirely. There's no way of protecting my profile with a pin code or password (which any other modern console will allow you to do...), and of course if I take the Switch away then I'm the bad guy...
But thanks to Checkpoint (and I guess any other save backup / editor tool), problem solved! I just backup my saves when I'm done playing, and hand the Switch over to my son. He can do whatever he wants to my saves, and I just restore them back when I'm ready to play. Now he's happy because he gets to spend all my in-game currency without me getting aggravated with him, and I'm happy too.
Without homebrew, my only alternatives would be to ban my son from my Switch (which would put me in hot water with the wife, so I'd end up being banned from it too...) or buy a second Switch just for him to use (an extra expense that also would not go over well with the wife...) Homebrew has made my Switch fun again, at least for me. And the emulators are great too.
I have no real interest in piracy, but I sure would love a safe backup loading method that I could use online with my own personal backups. Just so that I can store all my cartridges safely, and let my son have access to my full library of Switch games without worrying about him losing them. And yes, I know I could have bought them from the eShop instead, but I prefer physical cartridges because 10-20 years down the road if for whatever reason I need to factory reset my Switch, the online play and eShop may no longer exist. By that time I'm sure we'll have a better backup loading solution though.
Yeah this is the reason I decided not to use the SX OS auto rcm b/c it modifies the nand. So im sticking with the jig/rcm way but clearing logs is the main culprit and honestly we need new payloads without that option. I might have dodged a bullet here b/c I was trying to clear my logs as well, but the damn thing froze my Switch in the processSince the RCM is a recovery mode, it's suspicious at least. 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?

Isn't this equivalent to being banned as well?So our best chance to not be baned is emunand and never conect it to internet.
Quite a lot of evidence that clearing the logs = ban
No, one is reversible and the other is not.Isn't this equivalent to being banned as well?
That sounds far fetched as hell, but who knows? Maybe just a matter of time, perhaps you’ve been lucky thus farIt's crazy to me how random the bans seem. I've been using SX OS since day one with autoRCM, run homebrews (which crash a lot) but don't do back-ups; no ban yet. I've never cleared my logs and never turn off my internet connection. We'll see...
Why would you care about beeing banned if you never use any online feature.So our best chance to not be baned is emunand and never conect it to internet.
Yeah no. Been using SX os since it’s release day and still not bannedI think I found your answer.
