You should out your friend and get him banned. He kind of deserves it.
Actually, the dude that is here taking credit for it needs all his personal information posted up on the internet for everyone to see, and he needs to be banned from all hacking sites and discord servers. He is lying out his ass that his friend did it, he himself did it.

Last time I watched and wasn't involved really. This time I made the bricker, and a friend of mine leaked it on [SITE THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED] without my permission. I wasn't gonna post it, and was planning on keeping it private. I didn't mean for this to happen and I regret making this, and am unbelievably sorry for all of the victims...
Thats pretty low of you

Creatable = Attention Whore...

Whats up, young man? Still haven`t found a swamp-monster to suck you off yet?

I`m unaffected, however I feel bad for the poor sods who are probably just kids ruining their console.

Either...

1) You created it for the attention, because you are getting nowt
or
2) You want to take the credit for creating it, because you are getting nowt

I suspect the latter.

Proper snakes in the grass don`t gloat on gaming forums. They stay outside the web...

Either way... Ban heading your way, son!

To be honest, its the users fault.

  • Not checking if the NSP is legit.
  • No Nand Backup
  • Shady place where they get their NSP.
I mean, as most i have to hate it, then its the user fault.

A nand backup would fix it, and we all could be like "Wew I was saved" but nope.

It's the users fault secondarily. However if some script-kiddie little scrote didn't make it in the first place, there wouldn't be an issue.

"I didn't intend for it to cause this" he says.

Do me a lemon. He is loving it. Like I say, attention whore. And all of us, including me are feeding this whore what he wants.

However, the bigger question is why he was not banned last time after he encouraged people to load the fake sxos?

Yep whoever installed it, the blame has got to fall in you for forgetting the first commandment of switch hacking... "Thou shall backup prodinfo and biskeys / boot0 /boot1"

Oh well... Maybe a ban or he will get doxxed. Who knows.

I'm in a similar situation to TC but I do have a nand backup which was taken when I was on 5.1 using older hekake. When I restore the switch just boots to blue screen. I don't have Boot0/1 files as they were not created in Hekate 3.2. I just have rawnand.bin and the 10 other files.
I tried restoring RAW GG and GG partitions but no luck.
Is there anything I can do?

Im not approving that that happened, but encouraging people to run fake nsp, is still the person that make the last choice.

Just to make it clear: I was bricked by the Pokemon game. Restored a nand backup and now it's working.

Strangely, Ive realized that every time I click restore nand I get an error (4) message. Im using the official hekate and I delete the hekate.ini from the root sd.. any advice?
