Airplane mode doesn’t protect against anything

Stop spreading misinformation this one sentence has caused so many bans

Really? Airplane mode protection from bans was a hoax?

Considering Mario Kart 8 DX also has an online mode, would I get banned if I went online using someone's 100% save data?

I used 100% save data for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on my Switch - zero ban because this game don't check your save for hacking like they did with Splatoon 2, Splatoon 3, Super Smash Bros Ultimate and Pokémon series.

Airplane mode doesn’t protect against anything

My post means for portable mode with WiFi autoconnect disabled, so airplane mode is quick way to cut WiFi off and it won't connect again if autoconnect is disabled.

If your Switch is docked with WiFi autoconnect enabled, so airplane mode won't save you and you have to cut internet off to prevent from re-connect.

Those recommendation is only for members who want to inject other's save or use cheats in sysnand, but it still won't eliminate all of ban risk, so just reduce the risk to minimum.

Install NSP is just next level - very different story and I don't touch this option with my Switch.

Stop spreading misinformation this one sentence has caused so many bans

I'm speaking about my experience with Switch and there is zero console ban at my end, so I'm free to make an opinion statement if I believe that is working well.

There is no such as misinformation and there are members make different opinion or recommendation to prevent the ban as such as they can.

There is no uniformed recommendation about how to avoid the ban, beside inject the NAND backup if Switch has no internet connection entirely during hacking.

No, he didn't understand my post - you have to disable the autoconnect in WiFi setting to make airplane mode more useful and it is quick way to cut the internet off before switch to CFW.

Yes, so many MIG Switch users got banned because of this exact false rumor

There has been plenty of other evidence over the years now. Its been proven time and time again that Airplane mode doesnt do anything

The switch logs each and everything you do. And the second you connect online again those logs are getting sent to Nintendo

Nintendo sees MIG as form of piracy and they are no hesitation to ban anyone if it get caught like you said about logs.

Disable the autoconnect or delete the WiFi setting won't help if MIG is used and it is akin to NSP installation.

Save sharing and cheats are low level risk due to excellent anti-ban protection included in Atmosphere and I just disable the internet as extra measure to ensure that nothing is going to happen with my Switch.

Keep telling yourself that.

Myself and so many others have seen people still get banned for what you are claiming to be safe

I am glad and proud of you I guess that you have not been banned. But a handful of one of instances does not change this fact

You could go to a whorehouse and fuck a hundred broads and not catch a single STD, are you going to claim its safe just because you beat the odds?

Or maybe you won the lottery and never have to worry about money again?By your logic everyone should go out and go spend their savings on lotto tickets because you beat the odds!

Mig is just one example of many..plenty of people get banned from Pokemon, Splatoon. Animal Crossing cheats for example

Those are just 3 games...

My opinion is only limited to save sharing and single player cheating that is low risk.

@Draxzelex said all forms of hacking with Switch led to ban and it is up to members to take a risk to hack the console. Want absolutely safe? Don't hack the console at all. There are some members have creative to mitigate the ban risk.

There is other way based on other consoles like PS3, buy 2nd Switch for hacking purpose and use throwaway eShop account.

Thats the issue unfortunately.

Its an opinion, and your opinion doesnt change the fact that it is not as safe as you claim


Before you where claiming it was 100% perfectly safe, but now you are claiming it was just your opinion.

Thats fine but people posting this opinion as fact like you did are the very reason there are so many preventable bans happening still

I only said low risk for save sharing based on my experience.

Ultimately, I decided to revise my post to clearly mention disable WiFi autocorrect or delete the WiFi setting instead of airplane mode and include a warning about it still won't eliminate the ban risk since there are reports about some people got banned for simply save sharing or use cheats.

I don't know about how to make a better statement and I just accepted to take a risk to hack my Switch in 2018.

@championgamer There is clarification, you have to remember that inject other's save require the access to CFW (custom firmware) like Atmosphere and those kind of method violate the Nintendo's EULA, so penalty include in-game ban, console ban or/and account ban. Atmosphere has anti-ban protection in place to minimize the ban risk, however their anti-ban protection don't protect anyone who are playing pirated or backup copies (NSP/XCI/MIG). You have to accept and understand the risk before you can inject other's save.

I'm just helping to minimize further by run Atmosphere completely offline, however there are some members reported that they injected saves while internet is running without a ban and there are some people got banned for just inject the save alone that is very unlucky. I do think that anti-ban protection have some flaws or sometime, it don't work. As for reason, I just cut internet off as extra measure, so it is just for me. You can use logic to determine whichever is less risk or not.

It is based on my experience, also other members' experience in save community thread.

If you want 100% safe, don't hack Switch at all. You can buy second Switch for access to CFW and upload the save to cloud, so you can download the save on unhacked Switch and as for Pokémon games, you would need to use save transfer if it is assume that saves are all yours. Animal Crossing require a special app to transfer the island, so it can be download via eShop at no charge. There are members in here reported that they don't have problem with cloud saves.

That is much as I can help and remember, the risk is still there.

Unlike other consoles including PS3, Xbox 360, PS4 and PS5, most of console ban on Switch don't lead to account ban and it means you will not lose any digital games that you purchased, but it may change with Switch 2 - proceed with extra caution. That isn't my word - I just found an information from other members about account ban.
