I got it from that dark site... the same site where malicious nsp were uploaded and then removed...
Check the uploader's profile, see if he is well respected there.
The brick nsp was only up at that site for 13 minutes before mods killed the thread.
Everything there is probably safe now. Make a nand backup of your current fw just to be safe. But you are probably safe.
No, I mean open the switch and remove the SD CARD READER. not the sd card. Swap the reader from the switch that was hacked into the switch that you think it's patched. A lot of switches that have faulty sd card readers act just like a patched switch. So replace the sd card reader on your "patched" switch with the one from your bricked switch. got it?
The people behind the creation of the bricker, are currently talking about making a more "improved" version, with a delayed trigger.

This is going to spread like wildfire and there is not stopping it atm

Ahhh. I got it. Hmmm, but my switch serial is match with patched unit someone posted out there. Is it going to be work?
I know a lot of people were jumping on Ka_Ninja yesterday and now morpheus9394 for jumping the gun on downloading an early Switch game.
On a certain website (that has been 100% trusted, so far in my opinion) has RPG Maker MV .xci game available to download, but when I checked Gamestop's website, they list the game coming out on March 1, 2019. So is it legit or not?
I guess I will sit back and see who else gets bricked, if its not legit. I'm not taking that chance on losing my save files

not exactly true.
Unless every time you play a game, you save a game, you backup the game, run 1-2 hours worth of backup for every little thing, then repeat the same thing. Threat assessment mode every single time you turn on the Nintendo Switch on custom firmware. Not cool at all.
He's only suspended here, and even the mods are helping him (they even asked if he could do something about it, bla bla bla, being nice to him).
Yeap. Unrepentant cunts. They just want to see the world burn. If anything unsightly happens to them, its going to be one rare moment of schadenfreude. It doesn't seem like they're remorseful. So much for their "i'm sorry" statements when they're not sorry at all.
Too bad the topic can't be replied to. I would have petitioned it to be stickied so that the entire goddamned world can see for themselves what kind of scums they are.
just to let you know if you have old dump, you can extract you PRODINFO.BIN and restore in your switch and FIX IT i tested miself
Yes, I try to do everything trying to get these Switches some way back. I'm even using one of my own Switches trying to fix this problem. This is actually how much I care even it doesn't look like it.
You realise that you are shielding him, no?
I can respect your position, and I will respect the fact that you attempted to have that said person fix the situation. However, that assistance has definitely lead to nowhere as that said person has now been caught red handed (again) unrepentant, without remorse, and even colluding with others to again attempt something not only just similar, but on a wider scale and a more nefarious scheme.
Your attempts to protect him, be it because of GBATEMP's position, or out of your volition, is wasted.
Till now, there is no actual way to reverse the so called "prank" at all. The only recourse for those whose Switch-es have been affected:
A) rebuild the NAND if they have a copy / back up of the boot0, boot1 and system. Which is, rebuild, NOT RESTORE.
B) for those without certain files, attempt to send it to Nintendo (which is easier said than done, and even then Nintendo) won't even probably provide assistance.
Yet he's only "suspended", and he's doing it again.
So tell me, are your efforts to protect him wasted? It sure does looking it from me. Affected users still remain affected and the culprit is gleefully prancing around.
Like I said, I can respect your position and I can respect the effort you did in being nice, trying to "coax" the said person to fix it, but so far, it's really zero, won't you agree?
The thing is, I haven't protected him at all. He wants to right what's been wrong, I seen the conversations of them. But be honest to me now, how would banning him here do anything? Send a signal? I'm try to be civil, protect users and the site.
He did a shitty thing, people that tried to pirate a game did a shitty thing. In the end, both parties made wrongs here.
I however are trying together with two others to fix the issue this have caused. Also in the end if it works, Yay the Switches got fixed! Worse case the Switches are still dead

Not even the Retroarch nsp is safe, those kids need to be punished for their crimes.
Looks like the fuckers are preping for smash bros.
Guess people will have to be really extra careful now before getting any new game anywhere
