Hacking Question How to block official firmware updates ?

[Keriam]

Hello,

I'm currently using firmware 11.0.0 with SxOS 3.1 but i have often a message to update on Last firmware 11.0.1 : is there any way to block this update ? I don't want to do it accidently.

Other question : my switch was banned one month ago, is it normal that official update still working ?

yes you can get firmware updates even banned
you can use Incognito do remove your Switch serial that will stop the firmware updates

https://github.com/arch-box/Incognito_RCM/releases/download/0.6.3/Incognito_RCM_0.6.3.bin

make sure you make a backup and store it in a safe place

Thanks for your answser, I saw that you can backup/restore/incognito the SysNAND & emuMMC : sorry for this stupid question, i saw lots of topics about this, i never really understand what is the difference between both.

Can someone give me a nood explanation about SysNand & emuMMC ? For my case (stop auto & suggested official firmware update), which one i need to backup ?

As this is bin file, i suppose i have to launch as payload : i already did this method by example to retrieve tegra keys with lockpick.

Thanks again for help.

I've tried "Incognito_RCM_0.6.3.bin" with hetake 5.5.1 with SxOS 3.1 : the RCM didn't detect any emuMMC and when i want to backup Sysnand, i've error message "keyblob 0 is corrupt", "keyblob 1 is corrupt" ...

Any idea ?

Something very fun : i accidently click on the update, switch has been updated to 11.0.1...

I successed to downgrade from 11.0.1 to 11.0.0 with Atmo but like a dumb i chose "erase settings" instead of keep it : i loose all my save games.

Every failure can become a success : i decided to move to atmo and begin to reinstall NRO & games.

if you are on 11.0.0 its good to update to 11.0.1 cause theres lots of issues with 11.0.0 that Nintendo fixed in 11.0.1
but its best to stay on 10.2.0 for now you can downgrade to that version np
as for why Incognito RCM didnt work i have no clue

Just use 90DNS instead. It works just as well (if not better), is easier to remove, and hasn't banned people unlike Incognito.
