Change your blank Nintendo Switch serial number back to normal (does not allow you to go online)

[Gugs]

You might be asking why would someone spend their time just to change their serial number back to what it was before you lost your prodinfo.

Simple answer: aesthetics

I actually found this while researching ways to recover the ability of going online

1- make a backup of your PRODINFO using incognito or other program
2- download incognito_RCM from here: https://github.com/mistervampi/Incognito_RCM/releases (for 16.0.0 support)
3- get an HEX editor (im using HxD)
4- open the payload with the HEX editor
5- go to locate or use Ctrl+F and search for XAW and click OK
6- two lines starting with XAW will appear
Change them to whatever you want within 14 letters and between the two dots
7- Save and inject the payload into your switch
8- Click Incognito sysnand/emunand

And you're ready to go.

Thank you so much for this - it really REALLY helped. I somehow lost my prodinfo_emunand.bin but did have my prodinfo_sysnand.bin still fine. Using this I got it back to normal. Thank you!
