Only one type of ban prevents system updates which are CDN bans. CDN bans were first implemented as an effort to stop people from abusing CDN downloading back when CDNSP was widely used. However, Nintendo (eventually) added authentication token generation that lasts for 24 hours as a way to stop CDNSP from being abused and hackers never publicly released a way to generate these tokens. Because of this, they eased up on most, if not all, CDN bans. Nobody should no longer be CDN banned and thus even banned consoles can download system updates.you mean this one? Can he even update via sys update on baned switch?
@BigOnYa I'm trying to understand the issue here. The user you quoted didn't have any further questions nor dilemmas so everything seems resolved on their side. Is there something else you wish to assist them with? Or do you only seek answers to the questions you posed?
