incognito
Wipes personal information from your Nintendo Switch by removing it from prodinfo.

purpose
a) So your switch can go online without worrying about a ban or using random dogdy DNS servers that are also likely to get you banned.

b) so malicious homebrew applications cannot steal your personal certificate.

disclaimer
Always have a nand backup. I am not responsible for any bricks or bans. Use at your own risk, experimental.

This application backs up your prodinfo to the SD root, you should keep this backup in a more secure location, and not leave it on the SD card where malicious applications can read it.

edit: atmosphere blocks writes to CAL0, so you must use ReiNX or SX OS to install this. Once installed, you can switch back to atmosphere.

Atmosphere blocks reads and writes to cal0 as a security/safety feature.

But there should be some way to disable that correct?

Yes, use ReiNX, use Incognito, let it do it's thing then turn off the switch and boot into Atmosphere again.

I'm trying to do this on a 7.0 switch and I don't feel like downgrading

You can enable reading cal0. But you cannot enable writing to cal0, and there's a reason for that, writing to cal0 is VERY dangerous

And in the case of this app it's not dangerous, so what's the issue?

Anything that writes to cal0 is automatically dangerous...

And if I want access to that I should be able to, if reinx allows it then it must not be that big of a deal

Do you know what cal0 is

So if you could access the engine of your car it's not that big deal?

I would love to have easy access to my engine~

If I can't access it then this homebrew sorta becomes pointless for anyone wanting to use it.
sorta a just feels like you want to argue for the sake of argument instead of actually having any useful information~

If you really want to use it for whatever reason your only option is to temporarily use another CFW to activate it then Switch back to atmos.

ReSwitched has already said that they won't be adding a thing to allow cal0 writes ever

Then I guess I'm waiting for reinx 7.0 support

Cool, please point to the line of code that writes something dangerous. Only very specific portions of prodinfo is written to (otherwise the console wouldnt boot).

 

[Tilde88]

Since its emunand for me, I write it like its hot

 

[alimao]

using this application, block system updates?

if this doesn't prevent you from getting you ban after personal infor removal then why ppl still interested?

You're missing a large chunk of that conversation, I'd suggest going back and reading.

kk i m caught up now i have two question
1. what is the safest way to test if my switch is banned without risking my nintenido account for the test?
2. is there any method for emunand other than sxos yet?
