Incognito_RCM - wipe personal information to reduce risk of ban

You don't need Incognito with 0.12.0
It has blank prodinfo in exosphere.ini and it's better, because it doesn't wipe your prodinfo from nand, but gives HOS fake one to use.

Actually that is what Incognito_RCM does - but the official version never calculated the serial checksum so it showed up as blank in the settings menu (even though it was a fake serial, it won't display something that doesn't match the block crc).

My fork of Incognito_RCM contains many fixes, including one for this.

Nice job! Exactly what I'm looking for and solved my problems in HOS 10.0.1.

If anyone is using emuMMC and lose the original prodinfo.bin, you can make a backup from sysNAND and rename it to proinfo_emunand.bin.

@scandal_uk It would be great if you could keep this tool up to date in the future, especially if a new FW update is released that changes the pkg1. Obviously the original will not be updated any further.

This version also benefits from all updates made by CTCaer and Schmue in Hekate & Lockpick_RCM. So most of my commits are code that was written by them, so it didn’t break when 10.0.1 was released.

I will keep it up-to-date and if anyone needs a feature then drop me a message on temp.

To be honest I had it as a private copy, but then I thought I've gathered enough improvements and some people out there still use it so I'll give a little something back.

I'm interested in seeing some portions of other backups (non-sensitive stuff) and if any banned users want to help out I have a great anonymizing idea to fix an "upcoming problem".

For now, I have released v0.6.5 and created a DEV branch which I will keep active!

Edit: To be fair, who the hell would wanna review a PR like this??

Good stuff! Should start a thread for your fork.

Im using Sx os with 10.0.2 firm
I tried backing up my prodinfo with incognito rcm but it shows corrupt keyblob 0 to 5
Is this normal?

Are you using this version?

Where did you see this?

Edit: never mind, try the release from my fork

Thanks but still shows the same error.
Could it be because i have a prodinfo file in the root of my sd from a previous backup?
Does the .nro version of Incognito still work with SX os in 10.0.2?

No and no. It will rename the older version (by appending .0 to the end).

The latest version of Atmosphere has an "incognito mode" that is enabled by adding the exosphere.ini file to the root of the SD card, I think SX has a similar feature.

The error you are seeing is because the keys in your BIS are corrupted - Incognito_RCM does not modify the area that holds these keys. The method that displays this error is from Lockpick_RCM, can you try and run that payload and report back..?

I'm now using the new Ingonito_RCM by scandal_uk in conjunction with exosphere.ini and 90DNS on firmware 10.0.4 and Atmoshpere 0.12.0.

I know it's redundant but just in case one fails or gets accidentally deleted/corrupted/reset.

Muxi · Jun 8, 2020

That's right! You only have to delete the exosphere.ini by mistake and you have a problem! So this is a safe thing for the emuMMC in any case.
Also, the backup of the prodinfo does not necessarily have to be stored, since you can create a new one via sysNand at any time if necessary.

scandal_uk · Jun 8, 2020

I use exosphere.ini as well as this, better to be safe than sorry. This is a bit more of a “brute force” method, but that’s fine for EmuMMC - I wouldn’t touch SysNAND even if I was banned, I don’t like that option but someone might have a purpose for it.

Edit: I’m working on encrypted backups and optional erasures at the moment, then possibly a counterfeit SSL cert...

Nemix77 · Jun 8, 2020

That's right I'm on emuMMC, sysNAND is clean and on Airplane Mode.

OK, this is what i got:

MMC init... done in 10097 us
TSEC key(s)... done in 33820 us
unable to derive master key, kb = 10.
put current sept files to sd and retry
Master keys... done in 5669 us
Unable to derive package2 key
FS keys... done in 12390 us
Missing F keys. Skipping ES/SSL keys
Found 81 keys
Lockpick totally done in 86387 us
Found through master_key_0A
wrote 5945 bytes to sd:/switch/prod.keys

This feels like a stupid question - but do you have the bootloader folder from Hekate and the the sept folder from Atmosphere on your SD card?

I found this by google and confirm still works on fw 10.2.0

suggestion: this should be on the front page

I used your fork of incognito rcm to blank my emummc serial number because exosphere.ini on my sd root causes my cfw on emummc to not boot past the nintendo logo. I was going to ask though, is it normal for the new serial to be all zeros after the xaw and end with 1? Also, I noticed after using incognito rcm to blank the serial the incognito tab at the bottom of tinfoil 8.10 is no longer there, the last tab instead is just help, when its normally help then incognito.

The fake serial number has always been added by Incognito_RCM, however, the original version did not save a calculated checksum for it so it did not display in the System menu - my patched version adds the checksum so the serial number shows up correctly. Hope that answers the question?
I cannot comment on Tinfoil's Incognito.
