Greetings guys id like to know if anyone had some knowledge on how id go about swapping out my Nintendo switches CERT so I can go online again. I have multiple switches I can dispose of. My son updated a backed up game through the Nintendos server
You cannot do that without Ninties keys which no one has. close thread.
lol have fun playing with your new brick
Pretty sure he meant the brick that would likely result from trying to do stuff like restore the NAND backup from one Switch to the NAND of another Switch.A banned switch is hardly a brick.

Or perhaps just trying to inject the cert from one NAND to another, as it would invalidate Nintendo's signature and the console will refuse to boot normally.
Is it actually done? Your phrasing makes it sound like it is a possible thing you could do right now with enough effort (or effort less than create your own custom firmware with the capability). As far as I was aware it is still mostly just theoretical with a fair chunk of the exploration of the system done, or at least most of the major pitfalls known.Don't bother with switch cert swapping. waste of your time,,,
Nope not done waste of time trying to look into it atm.Is it actually done?

That's exactly what I'm going to do with a cheaper used legit Switch I bought on eBay. Screen has scratches, and my current hacked Switch is in mint condition. Swap the guts of the legit Switch into the mint one and vice versa. That way the scratched hacked one will pretty much always be in the dock, and my legit one for handheld I can stand to use (I'm OCD when it comes to screen imperfections). Already did the official Nintendo account transfer to get my legit BotW save from the hacked console to the legit one. I'm sure in doing so I sent all my data/logs from the CFW to Nintendo, but docked only a ban doesn't really matter to me. Made sure to delete all other save data, and tickets with tinfoil so nothing installed on CFW would be there to transfer over.you say you have multiple switches, well swap the parts till you get a working one and use that as a legit or dirty console
Don't bother with switch cert swapping. waste of your time,,,
Cannot be done yet, because the cert is read only, so it needs to be patched on the fly in CFW.Greetings guys id like to know if anyone had some knowledge on how id go about swapping out my Nintendo switches CERT so I can go online again.

But it will definitely be possible in the future, just be patient.

Unless you destroy the donor, it doesn't solve anything. You then just double the risk on the cert, and redundant certs trying to pass dauth is a recipe for disaster. If you were already caught and banned, why exactly would anyone donate a cert for you to be... caught and banned with again, forfeiting their own use of it for no tangible gain?
The solution is largely meaningless and fleeting unless you destroy the certificate source, at which point... you just bought a second Switch or had one laying around.
tls-cert outright revoking has been demonstrably slow/last ditch move by Nintendo, but anything that pokes dauth-services can (and generally is, see various things being moved behind dauth and becoming difficult to scrape) quickly be burned. Poking dauth with certificate redundancies is a good way to burn the cert's dauth permissions at least, if not outright result in a tls purge.
People who don't want to pay for online services may sell their certs, of course you have no guarantee that they won't sell them to multiple people or decide later on that they want to use online after all, but it's much cheaper than buying a second Switch.Unless you destroy the donor, it doesn't solve anything.
