Hi! I have a little question for you, If i play online (OFW) with my clear nand backup, Stealth mode active on SX Os and autorcm on. I will get banned? Sorry for my english, thanks to all
This means i can't play online if i'm not restore the Nand everytime i want play online and i used SX Os?
I didn't know that - I recall creating an Epic Games account to use the game, but not the Nintendo account. I must've already had it loaded.Using the Switch online is not safe. Only way to avoid ban is to not connect to any nintendo server by blocking the connections (using DNS filters for example), that makes every official game not working online. So basically make that is userful only for homebrew applications.
Fortnite, like all nintendo switch official games, requires the connection to Nintendo Servers. It even requires to have a Nintendo Account, and cannot play without it!
It is indeed theoretically possible but it has not been accomplished because it is simply not practical. Buying another console means you can just use that console to go online instead of extracting the certificate from that one and injecting it into the banned one.Well it looks like I opened my mouth and got Nintendo's foot jammed into it. No sooner did I write my response there above did I goto logon to Fortnite and found myself unable to access it. The message referenced NIntendo's ban of my console.
When I am told that another Switch all together is needed, I am a bit confused. I know nothing about the particulars of the way Nintendo handles authorizing devices to their network, identification, and how it is determined if a console has been modified to the point of it being 'hacked'. However, with what i hear about if a NAND is backed up it can be used to go online safely if restored between CFW launches (and you stay offline while in CFW) it would seem that they sign a certificate for the device and that certificate is validated on connection to Nintendo's play servers. Every Switch manufactured would have their own signed certificate and that certificate hash would be stored in Nintendos database for authentication.
HOWEVER, with that being said and with the device being completely under the control of the hacked firmware and thus all of its API/system calls/etc, how is it not possible to, say, provide various other certificates? I would imagine there is some kind of private trade out there, if this is a way to bypass this, for a NAND that is clean and can be used to bypass the checks. Of course these wouldn't be available publicly as more than one player could then be seen by Nintendo as being online from the same device, but I'd imagine something like this exists. Or maybe purchase a clean Switch, dump its certificates and whatnot, and use that as its replacement NAND while you've returned the Switch to the store. Again I am speculating and I haven't read anything about how the authentication/signing is done but it surely isn't a trivial matter of spoofing an ID otherwise the ban wouldn't be a problem.

Just create an emunand and do all your dirty stuff in there. Use your ofw ONLY with originals games, nothing else.
In 2 months it's been 1 year I've been online with SX, and I play online every week.
Everytime I read these kind of threads I ask myself if I'm incredibly lucky or people are just stupid and can't avoid doing things that are obviously dangerous.
Yes I simply boot sx choosing original fw when I play online, that's it. Also because my ofw nand is not even clean at all, I've played there (inside "boot custom fw" option, that's was shared with "original fw" at that time) some roms before emunand was even released. Heck I even played with the gba emulator and finished castlevania, always while being offline, even tho a couple of time I booted online while being inside "custom fw" by mistake.I only hacked mine yesterday, so this is all new for me. Sounds like you are doing what I'm doing - can I check...?
If I want to play my original games (and go online), I can reboot into SXOS and choose "Original Firmware" and safe to do anything online or not? Or do you literally have to install a clean NAND each time you want to go online at all (which for my situation is really impractical).
Thanks!

That's another reason why I'm surprised when I see all these people banned.
I've always used my personal game cert for the games, so maybe that made a difference, but now that we have emunand there is not point in using cert there anymore.
