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.

Is there a troubleshoot guide for this?

Nice, this works for emunand - you can run SXOS emunand, then run this to mod your emunand prodinfo. Then you can boot Atmosphere with the same emunand and prodinfo is still modded. Now you don't need to worry about connecting online with Atmosphere either

Can someone help me with reatoring my switch?

 

[Banner24]

Is there a way to get it on my atmosphere emunand?(without SX OS)

Maybe this? I haven't tried it

I have an EMUNAND running, if I run Incognito it will only be applied to it or to SYSNAND as well.

If I run SYSNAND my prodinfo will be the original.
Will the change only be in EMUNAND?

I just tried, seems to be only in the emunand. Sysnand still boots normally, intact serial number.

That's the whole purpose of emunand. Whatever you do on it does not affect the sysnand (and vice versa).

1. Yes
2. It is as permanent as AutoRCM. Meaning the modification it makes will persist after the console is turned off but can also be reversed at any time
3. Yes
4. Well you cannot play online but you also do not need to disconnect your Wi-Fi. Also disconnecting your Wi-Fi defeats some of the purpose of this application

So I'm able to access online features but error code 21244618

IDK if this or if ams_mitm.kip is broken on my setup but it fails to write serial. I am using 8.1.0 emuMMC, hekate - CTCaer mod v5.0.0 & Nyx v0.8.0, and Atmosphere 9.2.0 with sig patches.


Also another question, is there not any other way for Nintendo to detect the system somehow on a failed login for missing prodinfo? like maybe Mac address or something?

I have same problem, solved booting directly with the payload fusee-primary.bin instead of Hekate. Make sure the emunand is enable and you have all in the correct folder (/atmosphere/kips/ams_mitm.kip and /atmosphere/flags/hbl_cal_read.flag)

you have to set the kip up in hekate_ipl.ini
kip1=atmosphere/kips/ams_mitm.kip

whoops.. didnt add my 2 cents..

I personally know that thaikhoa has written useful posts in the "Tutorials" sections regarding emummc with atmosphere, so I wouldn't doubt his advise.

but i wanted to add that i was able to use incognito via Kofus method (which actually is the method mentioned by the author of that .kip file)

Only a few simple steps:
1. create a kips folder to place into atmosphere and add the file ams_mitm.kip
/atmosphere/kips/ams_mitm.kip
2. create a flags folder in atmosphere and I right clicked and added a new file ".txt" file called "hbl_cal_read.flag"
/atmosphere/flags/hbl_cal_read.flag

first i made a "hbl_cal_read.flag.txt" file which is caused by not check marking "File name extensions" (for win 10, its under the "View" tab in File explorer") as you dont want a .txt file, u need a pop up box asking if you really wanted to change the file extension, just hit OK)

the author mentioned to delete the ams_mitm.kip file after you ran incognito.nro, for security reasons.

Question, I recently set up emuMMC on my Switch with Atmosphere. It's offline, and works great.

I want to be able to put my Switch emuMMC online to use tools like the homebrew appstore and retroarch online. The problem is that currently my profile is linked to a NNID. My understanding is that incognito will stop Nintendo from being able to identify my Switch, which prevents my Switch from getting banned, but since my profile is linked to an NNID wouldn't they be able to ban that? And then worse, since my Switch is the only one associated with that NNID, couldn't they still ban my sysnand through that?

Would it be worth the time and effort to delete any NNID-linked profiles from emuMMC and make new ones?

I think Incognito removes your console's ability to communicate your NNID to Nintendo's servers. But I may be wrong.

I recently setup emuMMC (partition based) on my Switch with AMS 0.92 and OFW 8.0.0. Booted up in ReiNX and successfully ran Incognito to remove the serial. Strange thing is I loaded up OFW and the serial is gone there too. I guess I need to redo the emuMMC, but not sure where I went wrong here.

ReiNX cannot boot into emuMMC so when you loaded up ReiNX, you booted up sysMMC.
