@stewacide have you used the kefir updater?
No never heard of it. Like I said I only ever loaded homebrew in emunand, and then only ever SX Installer and Retroarch.

It's either you f up somewhere or worst is that they're now able to detect emunand.No never heard of it. Like I said I only ever loaded homebrew in emunand, and then only ever SX Installer and Retroarch.
When you updated your games online, was it in CFW, OFW, or both? And did you use AutoRCM from SX OS or from a non-TX tool?Did you update your .XCI/.NSP games online? Y
AutoRCM? Y (long ago)
He did not use emuNAND. Him and everyone else affected by the recent banwave all did the same thing: updating their .XCI files online which has been long proven to be a noteworthy ban cause dating back shortly after the LayeredFS banwave. If you haven't been banned yet for doing this, consider yourself lucky.It's either you f up somewhere or worst is that they're now able to detect emunand.
While Stealth Mode does block all Nintendo-related traffic, it does nothing to stop any traces of CFW that persist after the consoles turn off such as .XCI or .NSP files which is what leads to bans. This is also why I never ask any user if they use Stealth Mode or not because Stealth Mode does not prevent bans; it merely delays them.Does stealth mode actually do anything other than block Nintendo servers while active? If so there would be all kinds of traces of XCIs that Nintendo could read whenever you turn it off.
First off, none of these users used emuNAND meaning emuNAND is successful at preventing bans when you do not bring any CFW or homebrew online which these users did. Secondly, Stealth Mode does not prevent bans in any way, shape, or form because it mimics a ban. The only way to find out if your banned is by turning off Stealth Mode which can get you banned. Lastly, these bans are from users who have updated their .XCI files online whether in CFW or OFW. People who keep their .XCI files strictly offline, to the best of my knowledge, have not been banned.I'm still skeptical of the xci updating on OFW being the cause. Maybe there is something about emunand/NSP installing or stealth mode that isn't foolproof. Has there been any reports of anyone getting banned that only ever used SXOS offline, no network settings, no wifi nearby that requires no password, airplane mode all the time, ONLY XCIs regardless of NSPs being installed in emunand etc?
There's so many possibilities that I'm confusing myself trying to list them, but how about:
SXOS offline and stealth mode
no emunand
no NSPs/DLC
no homebrew
no wifi settings
airplane mode
XCI only
dedicated SD card just for SXOS offline XCIs
and THEN, any XCI icons updated manually in Horizon, OFW, SYSnand etc., being the only thing done using network connections involving XCIs. I'd be curious if anyone being that strict has gotten banned.

Correct, these were some of the first non-LayeredFS bans that everyone besides me seems to have forgotten about.That's good to know. You do have reports of users who updated their "XCI was here" icons later in online sysnand (not in SXOS), and they got banned even though that's all they ever did?

True and the ban error report form wasn't as refined as it is now but it still doesn't change the fact that people have been banned for updating .XCI files in OFW, both now and in the past.Wasn't everything pretty crappy back then like homebrew creating their own error codes etc. Those people only ever used XCIs, updated them online and nothing homebrew related whatsoever?
It's hard to imagine anyone truly being that careful back when layeredFS was a thing, since bans were just starting anyways.

EmuNAND=emuMMC. The vernacular difference is because the Switch doesn't have a NAND, it has an eMMC (hint: what do you backup with Hekate, the NAND or eMMC?) But since TX aka Gateway first coined the term and since the Switch scene mostly comprises people from the 3DS scene, EmuNAND just stuck.When you talk about Emunand security, do you mean emuMCC too or just the first?
Can you fill out the form in the first post please? Thank you kindly in advance!I am banned .
I got the blue screen of death when trying to update so my fuse count matched... Might have booted into sysnand with CFW online a few times back when 6.1.0 was new.
THIS SUCKS.
No, I was referring to the Semi-Official Nintendo Switch Ban Report Form at the top of the first post of this thread that people have reposted if you scroll up. And if you want to play with other people over the Internet, your alternative is Switch Lan Play/Xlink Kai.All I get is this console has been restricted from online services lol.
Now that I’m on the other side. Is it possible to play online with other banned users via some sort of mod?
I edited my post. Should have the needed info for the ban report. Xlink Kai is probably what I’ll do.
