Hacking Nintendo Switch Banning Hub & Warning

[Bobbery18]

When did you make this NAND backup? Did you run any CFW/homebrew before making it? Did you run any CFW/homebrew after making it?

The NAND backup was made before I had even used any sort of CFW. Basically it should have been the cleanest available CFW (made from Hekate as well). No I didn't run anything before. I did run stuff after, but restored the backup before I went back to OFW.

I feel like this user might have done something other to his system than only using SXOS + XCI. Like (accidentally) going online in a pirated game, install .NSP files, or use homebrew before creating a backup for example. So far the SXOS users that only use it to play XCI and nothing else seem to be safe. I'm including myself here. I've been using SXOS since june, and I have not yet been banned. Only use it to play .XCI, while having my Wifi settings removed, and being in airplane mode. I update my games by removing my SD card, going into OFW, and downloading the latest updates. I do the same for firmware updates. I'm on the latest firmware now, and I'm still good. I've never done a virgin sysnand restore, although I have made one (I just don't like the hassle of restoring my saves).

I regret to inform the both of you that while you restored a clean hack-free NAND prior to going online in OFW, both of you also used CFW/homebrew online which negates your previous response.

yeah i thought that may have been the main issue, but after the release of the lan play servers i dont care too much. but i do care about the power button issue, as ive never heard about it before. thanks for your help though OP

 

[IHOP]

So i'm banned with a Normal Switch ban. (Error code 2124-4007 when trying to access eshop) Any way i can still use my nintendo account on another switch? Or if i link it will that switch get banned too? Thanks.

no way sry

no way sry

So my account along with all of the purchases on said account are gone?

I do not install a nsp for fear of ban using sx os (they say it's safer to use xci only. I only use xci since july and I regularly play online in ofw and I'm not banned yet so it must be true...) but I strongly want to play smash bros and if it is leaked in NSP, I do not think I can resist. So I thought something, tell me if it's ok:
Let's imagine that I install the game in nsp and that I NEVER connect online (even in ofw) to "hide" this nsp to Nintendo. Then, when the xci comes out, I completely remove the game installed in nsp to play the xci version and continue what I did since July. Will my console be "clean" again and it will be like I have never installed a nsp or my console will still keep track of this installation? What do you think ?
sorry if my question is unclear but I did my best -_-

Your account isn't completely compromised, you can still make purchases through the Nintendo website store. You most likely have the eShop/online ban and not a CDN ban. Sign in to your account on nintendo's site and download a demo for your switch, hopefully it works.

As far as I know (and I don't know much). maybe. But I don't recommend it. You lessen the ban risk if you install and use the nsp offline, but you ashould delete the nsp before you power off, and then go into ofw afterwards. its only practical for homebrew nsps like Glide64 and hbmenu though

Better create a new account rather than risk getting your new switch banned again because I remember someone got banned again a while back after using his old account on his new switch.

I would hold off for just a little longer if I were you. You will regret it so much if you were to be banned since you seem to use online features in ofw a lot.

just a question, before i backed up my nand on 4.1.0 i actually ran sx os (free version) and hakate, only loaded homebrew loader just for checking if myswitch can be hacked and thats all, so do i qualify for a ban if i go online ? my switch is on same firmware as i have never played a backup on it or used it since.

 

[KHEOPS]

it's not your account that's forbidden, it's your console cert
so no problem if you have a new switch
the ban account is very rare is a 99% is played at a game before its release
a lot of things wrong here when Draxzelex does not respond.

to have a clean console must be made a backup nand before any hack,or modification

but as you say do not ban, and you play online, nothing prevents you to save your nand now, and played only offline in CFW mode stealth, or block dns
if you decide to play online in ofw, restore your nand before
if you install nsp (cfw) your nand will be dirty, although this is not the only way to ban or dirty your nand, ex
homebrew, error log, or even clear log
as you say that xci is cleaner than nsp
there are nsp> xci converter ( therefore no installation. )

if you were offline, airplane, stealth, or block dns, you did not have a crash or log error, did not send any information (switch parameter)
not installed from nsp, all offline, then you should be good
not 100% but 90%. sure.

 

[Cortexfou]

Is the games save data on the nand backup ? If I backup, play a game and restore after that, am I gonna have the save created before or after the backup ?

if you restore your nand, the state of your switch will be exactly the same as when you made the backup.
so your progress will be lost
there are homebrew for this.

I'm banned, I tried to download Diablo 3 updates downloaded from the internet and they banned me or I think so. I realized this when I wanted to update my original skyrim on cartridge and the switch sent me an error 2181-4008 saying "Nintendo has restricted the use of online services on this console".

Please fill out the form in the OP so the community can learn what may have caused your ban. Thank you.

Additional Comments
How serious is it? Is it a banned or superbanned?

1. How can you use the eShop if you're banned?
2. Did you just say no to logging into Nintendo's website because you didn't check or because it throws an error when you try logging in?
   
3. CDN bans prevent system updates. If you don't get any error trying to update your system, you do not have a CDN ban
