I have a launch Switch. I used it online briefly when I first got it, but I then kept it offline in the interest of a potential coldboot exploit.
When hacks became available, I created an emunand and have barely touched sysnand since then. I have homebrew and hacking on emunand, but have never run any homebrew apps on sysnand. Both kept offline.
I want to reconnect to the internet on sysnand, update to the latest firmware, and play games I've bought physically online. I'm worried about my sysnand potentially being flagged for a ban.
In the past, I've unintentionally had my Hekate launch settings overwritten, and accidently launched into sysnand with CFW enabled. It booted back into sysnand, and I immediately shut down and did nothing homebrew related. Even so, I'm not sure what those Hekate settings actually did, and if the sysnand would have changes or logs that would flag a ban.
I plan to:
- remove the microsd card with everything emunand related
- factory reset on sysnand to completely wipe everything
- on sysnand, connect to the internet
- confirm there's no ban by accessing the eshop
- log back into my Nintendo account
- reinsert microsd card, continue to use emunand for offline play
Does that sound correct? If there was anything flagged on sysnand, will doing this system restore fix things?
