Hacking Nintendo Switch Banning Hub & Warning

[Jakkal666]

I took the plunge. Just updated my Switch to latest firmware (6.1.0) as well as updating two games (both XCI and trimmed). Removed the SDCARD before updating everything in OFW. We shall see what happens. I'll return with a full report as per Draxzelex form if things goes sour.

Is your account really banned? What happens when you try logging into your Nintendo Account on their website?

On the page where he was already logged, he informed me that the account had been canceled. After logout, reloading, results a canceled/inexistent account.
From the console the games of the account continue to work, but clearly there is no access to the eShop and it is not possible to remove user.
The others two linked accounts on the console work normally form browser, but even if I start a download of e.g. a demo, nothing happens on the connected console (to start the download would be enough to start them on a non-banned console after removing old connection user-console).

so today i just found out my switch is restricted from online services probably because the cfw tutorial never said how to not get caught with cfw so how can i get unbanned any way please tell me!

You can't. Buy a new Switch basically. Also there is no way to "not get caught", at least none that's completely confirmed and reliable.

That may have worked in the Wii age when they banned you from playing online for cheating. Definitely not the case anymore. Sorry mate, but there really is no way to unban a Switch.

I feel like the IQ around here gets lower with each and every year.

There are about a billion more productive ways to spend your time.

I feel like the IQ around here gets lower with each and every year.

I honestly think it's pretty stagnant. There's just this one phase each year when a new Pokemon game was released when kids, who have little to no experience with console hacking, gather together to form a big pile of noob.

EDIT: I really don't want this to sound elitist or anything. I really don't even blame OP for naively trying to get his Switch unbanned. Kid probably got the Switch for his birthday or something and has now kind of damaged his console. I remember bricking my Wii when I was 13 after successfully hacking it but then I decided to downgrade from 4.2 to 3.2 => Low-level brick, feels bad man.

There is a way. Just back up your NAND and boot partitions before you ever use CFW or homebrew or anything. Then DO NOT go online at all after using CFW. If you want to go back online at a later date simply restore your NAND and boot partition backups. I did this myself and have been playing online for about a month with no issues.

Of course if you're already banned then this does not help at all.

A the moment I I’ve used two method one is doing a nand back up and play offline pirate games then restore the nand, the other is emunand with clean nand before. I am nod banned right now who knows if it is going to happen, or if emunand is safe... any way is up to you which method do you want to use.
