Hacking Quickest / cleanest way to get PRODINFO?

[Ace_]

I've got a 8.1 Switch with parental controls turned on and don't know the code. I need to get the device id from prodinfo to remove it. I am new to homebrew, I've got a jig but don't know what to do from here, I want to use this switch online and don't want custom firmware / homebrew etc so what's the quickest / cleanest way to get the device id so the system won't get banned? thanks.

Do you have a payload injector or a PC ?

I've downloaded TegraRcmGUI and hekate_ctcaer_4.10.1 so far and yes I've got a PC. Not sure if these are still the best tools to be doing this though? I've just been reading the guide.sdsetup.com site.

 

[Undwiz]

yeah thats the right stuff. do you know if your switch is patched ? if it is you won't be able to run Hekate

 

[Ace_]

It's not patched.

 

[Undwiz]

have you been able to get Hekate to run ?

Use HacDiskMount and memloader to dump the Prodinfo, easier and faster

This still a bit confusing, I see HacDiskMount is pc software so I can worry about that later, so for memloader I use v3 that's built in to TegraRcmGUI? do I need to dump the BIS keys too?

memloader is a bin file where you can push to your switch to mount your switch on to your pc. The one that is built in tegrarcmgui should be fine although you should choose latest. You will also need the
simple file from the memloader.zip which be downloaded at https://switchtools.sshnuke.net/. Put this in your root of your sd card
After booting from the memloader, you should choose ums_emmc.ini to mount the emmc(nand) to your pc

HacDiskMount can open up the mounted drive of your switch nand which you can look at all the prodinfo,BCPKG,system,user.bin

Is your serial consol number your device id

It is unnecessary to revive old threads that the OP haven't been around for few months, Gbatemp users don't like when other bumps / reviving old threads.

Ignore the useless keyboard warrior troll. The device ID is not the same as your console serial number.

Hi I've downloaded the memloader file and put it on a micro sd card. Do i need to download another piece of software? My switch says time's up will this be a problem?

Hello all, i did way more digging than i should have and now I've done the thing with the rig and got the prod.keys file
My question is where do i find the master key to reset parental controls to factory reset my switch. I want to either extract device ID, or extract master key? any help is much appreciated

If all you wanted to do was reset the parental controls, then why didn't you just say so? You can use this homebrew application to reset it without needing the device ID.
