Hacking Error Code 002-0102, Have I been banned?

[jochemali]

"I banned amloast time who Zone Blaze..."?
I contacted Nintendo about this error code they said that it's a temporary ban that happens when you use r4 or anything like that, so you'll just have to wait. Most people get unbanned after a month.

If i get unbanned never play with more public headers...

Need help, how can change the header for not hurt the save (150hours in MH4 and 27hours in PAS)

Use Gateway Rom Patcher. I don't need to explain because it's so easy.

Are you sure? That doesn't happen for me.

If you change the header, the save won't be compatible. If he is using Sky, he would have to use a power save to extract and inject the save. If he has a Gateway he can just use savedatafiler.

You can use this to just make a backup of the game first, then restore it after you've changed header.

I think updating data in Bravely Default is safe.
Games where you are online a lot of time are the ones being banned the most (Pokemon, MH4U, Smash, Mario Kart)
Also I noticed NOBODY has been banned on 9.4 or previous firmwares.

Thanks. So this may be a hint as to how they ban people...
Prolonged online presence with a public header on Sky3DS.
From this, we can tell that there's probably a program that scans their servers for multiple uses of a single header. It probably doesn't scan often and is probably automatic. Once you are detected during a scan you may be flagged for banning after the scan is complete or on the spot as you are detected. Meaning if you play on certain times, you may go undetected?

The alternative is that as soon as you use an online feature, you are checked with Nintendo's servers to find someone who is using the same header. But, there aren't enough reports to confirm this one, because there are people who have gone online multiple times and for several days... So I'm staying hopeful that they're scanning at certain times.

Getting unbanned might also be automatic because I doubt they'd waste "manpower" by getting employees to time how long until you are out of "time out."

All just speculation/thinking out loud.

PS- If you don't have access to a gateway enabled 3DS, you could edit save files manually with the hex editor program.(I think, I've yet to purchase a powersave device and change my headers)

I also think there's a trick to editing headers. You have to have headers with the same manufacturer? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not very sure if it may be because of the header. Nintendo said that the error code means that i've probably used an r4 or anything like that, but they may say that to not describe it too much.

Well, I'm assuming most of their customer service guys aren't all familiar with the "hacking scene." Or they're just trained in a way to recognize that people with public headers are using R4 cards so this is what they tell customers who call. The common denominator is the header. People have been playing games "out of the box"- as in they just insert an sd card with roms and play and I think headers are the only identifying factors of a game/rom. I'm new to the 3DS flashcart thing, so I'm not too familiar with what's going on, but this is what I gather from my research so far.

If you're on firmware 9.2 or below then you can dump without power saves.

I think I'm banned. Strange thing is I haven't played any game online, the game may of made a online connection itself but I never deliberately went online inside a game. I did visit the eShop though.
Get a network error and won't connect to the local network whatever I do. Use to work.

Date of ban report: A few weeks back, still currently banned.
Flashcard: Sky3DS
game type: 3DS ROM
header type: public
SysNAND: ?
EmuNAND: none
used header: unmodified Sky3DS template file
eShop/Miiverse blocked: Yes
other games blocked: Yes
played games: Lots - but none online
