Hacking What are things i should NOT do, so i dont get banned?

[Ashura66]

with the stealth mode you can access your internet and your network (hombrew and ftp). The DNS wasn't 100% reliable and you need to connect first to the internet before you set up the dns-server.

And you can do the exact same thing with DNS...

If you have been around long enough, then you know it is an ongoing thing. If you do not have money for an extra legit switch, then do not hack your switch. If you do hack, then do not go online. It is a game of cat and mouse. Soon enough people will have no issues getting online, but that is only temporary. Nintendo is going play their game. It is a game that never ends, and could be costly if you are not careful. But as always, people will abuse with the hacks. This will ruin it for everyone. You can do what you want to do, but prepare yourself for what happens next.

If you did not restore with a clear NAND backup then your "errors" are not clear besides you went online so nintendo sure know you modified your switch so you have a ticket for a ban raffle at ninty's house.

Holy crap when did this sub forum become "all about switch bans". The front page is looted with threads about bans.

Started about the time the first ban was announced for those doing earlier hacking work, though really picked up when general end users of hacks got hit. Will probably continue for a while as it is the most interesting thing happening in Switch hacking right now, a sad state of affairs really, and the device has no games. Should an unbanning method appear it might change, should a more stealthy method appear then that might change a bit too, it might also go down a bit when Nintendo starts charging and people realise it is no big deal.

Your console is most likely already flagged for a ban then.
Installing NSPs you dont have the ticket for is a known ban cause.

If he used hekate, then yah he is likely screwed. HOWEVER. If he used rajnx. He might live. To briefly explain, creport system module essentially does almost every bit of telementry. Which was able to be disabled. So if he is lucky, he might fly under the radar. But, that's a big if. Now talking about tickets breifly. You can delete tickets through tinfoil. So again, maybe he might survive. But again, huge maybe.

creport only handles crash reports, not any other kind of telemerty

Don't install NSP's, get a cert for cart 2 and 1 games, don't run homebrew while online, don't install things to the switch that did not come from Nintendo themselves.

That's it

I use XSOS and have not had an issue since following the upgrade tut by @rajkosto

im pretty sure i did use RejNX, and i deleted the tickets straight after i deleted the game.

Uhm, did you use Raj or Rei? Its either one or the other

 

[CharlieH012]

Rej.. Rather Rej or Atmosphere, i dont remember....

 

[Kukielka]

Rej.. Rather Rej or Atmosphere

.... again, there is no Rej

 

[CharlieH012]

oh right it is Rei sorry.

updating, or downgrading system files does not delete your user's profile/content/bought games/logs etc., using that program doesn't change this fact. it's only replacing files.

safest way is :
go offline, before making nand backup.
backup NAND, backup your SD card.
hack all you want still offline. Use choix du jour to update (and with autorcm, to prevent burning fuse or you can't restore older nand backups)
restore NAND when you want to go clean or online, AND format your SD card and restore the backup SD (restoring NAND but keeping your hacked SD is not safe). though, to go online you might need to update your firmware to latest based on which version you have/exists.

Or just buy the games you want to use

Don’t go online
Don’t use online hacks
Don’t pirate games

So basically stealth mode is a self-inflicted ban.

In never ceases to amaze me how many people ban themselves from Nintendo who is worrying about getting banned from Nintendo...

But this 'auto-ban' won't block your access to nintendo services nor will block you from downloading purchased games and their updates when you change your mind.

So, in my vision, this kind of ban is better than ninty's. =]

 

[Bellebite2000]

something you can easily replicate with a DNS homebrew

We should have a different understanding of the word "easily"... It takes one second to activate / deactivate stealth mode in SX OS, good luck setting this up that fast with any DNS related homebrew.

 

[Nincompoopdo]

Stop wearing Rayban.

And yes don't go online or you will get AIDS from Nintendo.

Takes 5 seconds instead of one. Big difference right?

Ummmm...that's EXACTLY what stealth mode does...blocks any and all Nintendo related comunications
