Hacking Linking Nintendo account without burning fuses

[onehexedupman]

Hi I have a 4.1 hackable switch and I would like to know if there is a way to Link a Nintendo account without burning the fuses. I understand that to link your account you have to have the latest firmware and I could update using Choi but wouldn't that ban me as i would have to use custom firmware and then go online?

There's no workaround without using a CFW.

you can transfer linked account from others to your cfw without going online

Say I use CFW with Choi, is that an instant ban once I go online and try linking?

You can update with choi and in hekate choose „boot ofw“. This way you wont burn your fuses and you dont have to use cfw

Wait seriously? Thats awesome. I thought Nintendo's bootloader was a Automatic burn.

It is. RCM into hekate and booting any option from it is skipping the official bootloader where fuses would be burned. You either need to enable AutoRCM or boot shorting pin 10 every time to avoid losing fuses. If this is a fresh system and has never been online, using the latest Atmosphere or stock hekate you should be 'safe' online as long as you don't do anything stupid.

Still very banable.

Skimmed through the posts, but missed the most important one lol. I still don't think this is a risk free method though, but it's as safe as you can get I guess.

Saving those fuses isn't really as important as it used to be anyway. That said, if the system has never been online and has no trace of homebrew usage, just enable AutoRCM with hekate, then boot and use the latest Atmosphere distro. You can then just update officially where one of the recent features is not allowing the OS to overwrite AutoRCM. After that, just be careful until we have a fully offline environment in thermosphere. (NAND redirection)
edit: Don't forget to do a full eMMC backup of your 4.1 system as it is.

Yea... no. You don't want to be using SX OS FS patching for online usage.

excuse me but is there any confirmed bans using their emunand solution ?or are you just throwing shit cause it's "SX OS".

Using software designed for theft, online, doesn't exactly scream 'careful' does it? Not looking to get into a pissing match here. We've got enough of that here already.

What about ReiNX ? I also have a hekate as well. Mine is an original 3.0.0 but update to 5.1.0 with ChoiNX. And AutoRCM through ReiNX.
