Hacking Nintendo Switch Banning Hub & Warning

[huma_dawii]

hmmm , how do i see if i got banned? got my switch last friday and got many game installed , through .nsp file using the dark side of the force , updated my switch to 6.0.1 because of my GF , redid the haxkz payload pushing , i can still update my game through nintendo server with no probleme(even game i dont really own) , i never linked my nintendo account to it so i guess i cant be banned? or am i understanding this wrong.

Your undestanding is very wrong, you haven't been banned yet... but boy you are on the right path!

You better keep it offline now on at all cost don't connect to ONLINE, with ban they can stop you from even updating the games you have. (you can still update games by downloading the updates and installing them with tinfoil)

If I were you I wouldn't risk it!

AutoRCM? TX/Hekate/Both/Y via ReiNX

AutoRCM? Hekate

I find it suspcious that actually there's nothing they both really did to be banned. But they used AutoRCM to boot OFW.
Would that not be a hint that Nintendo is detecting this and bans people for that?
I have my switch modded for about 2 weeks now and check every other day if I was banned.
Using SX, emunand, 2 sd cards, cfw not online.

I will report back if something bad happens....

Homebrew/non-TX CFW Used? Y
Connect to Internet w/ homebrew/non-TX CFW? Y
Connect to eShop while using CFW/homebrew? Y

Nevermind, I didn't see that at the first place.

Every time I would use AutoRCM, I would always turn it off when I wanted to play regular Nintendo Switch Games. Then when I wanted to play emulation, I would turn on AutoRCM. When I got banned, AutoRCM was turned off when I booted to the regular Nintendo Switch OS. For some reason all the other times I did this, It would work fine but, now out of nowhere they got me
I even purchased a game while I was hacked and nothing came up over it being hacked.

Thats strange.
Might be something else.
As far as I can see you did all the emulation thing on the Sysnand, as you did not use SX OS, right?

How long did it take them to ban you from the first time you started modding?

No, I did not use SX OS
It took them like 3 weeks because I ordered my Jig from ebay and right when I got my Jig from the mail, I modded my Switch using ReiNX and a SD card. Everything worked fine after that, I would get an occasional Nintendo Switch Crash but, that was because when I loaded a game from Retroarch it couldn't play it. Before I got banned my Switch crashed trying to play a game via Retroarch....idk this stuff is weird.

So many things could lead to a ban it seems. Pretty scary to a newcomer. Is just running the 'A definitive way to test if your Switch is patched or not (purchases after 07-2018)' tutorial still completely safe? As in: no traces left behind at all that could potentially be used to ban me?

Yes because this loads a payload before the NAND is ran. It carries the same risk as backing up the NAND and so far, no one has been banned for backing up the NAND. Right now, it appears Nintendo is banning users who don't even touch LayeredFS, .XCI, or .NSP; in other words, they are banning users for using homebrew/booting into CFW.

 

[derthomas]

just a quick update, NOT banned at all

using sx os since 1.3, now on 2.0.1 (6.0.1)
always updating on ofw and playing on cfw. cfw is always online when docked (not accessing eshop tho) and offline in handheld mode
Im using xci only (some of them are my own dumped games), not a single nsp or nsp installer has been started. homebrew channel and retroarch started multiple times. error logs send is activated.

Europe Region btw.

 

[nille]

If feels more and more like it's just absolutely random I hope I will be able to play Pokémon online next month.
Let's see.

As said already l will report if something bad happens. Must come one day as I have :
SX OS
EmuNand
Xci
Nsp
Offline in cfw
Not updating non legit games
Jig RCM

I still thinking that the ask of ban should be the firts one, is a bit confuse to read the reports sometimes, is there Any report of ban just for using emunand?

 

[snakeeater4]

Never been on cfw , no homebrews , no mods . CLEAN NAND . switch with 6.0 (account and console linked)
Here's my plan.

1-Backup my saves
2-Unliked account
3-Factory reset (for quicker dump)
4-Dump my virgin , super clean NAND .
5-Install CFW
6-No internet , no wifi, always on AIRPLANE mode .
7-Enjoy , until December when smash bros came out
8-On december , again , factory reset
9-Restore clean NAND .
10-back to my account , online service , eshop, etc.

Ban risk ? please ..
XCI or NSP . ?

I guess I'll reorder it so eShop usage is the first row then if people made a clear NAND. Also there is technically one report of someone being banned for using EmuNAND, but he did not make a clean NAND before setting it up so it doesn't count as an EmuNAND ban.

In other words just for EmuNand there is not yet a ban reported.
Did the same by the way. Had a virgin and, and created an EmuNand from it that stays offline.
In theory if bans are not random it is pretty clean.

I just got banned after turning on my switch today. I did a big fuck-up by updating I think. I never did much homebrew on my switch, so I thought I was fine.

When I turned on the switch I got asked for an update, I did it and got banned. I was 6.0.0 and upgraded to 6.0.1.
