Seriously? They ACTUALLY ban people for inappropriate nicknames? Forget modding, you can get banned without modifying your console. By the way, what was the username in question?

Let's just say it was lick my cat . I've played turf war just fine but I entered ranked and someone must've reported me. Guess they are serious about online

Has anyone tried to
1: Backup nand
2: Reinitialize console (hard part?)
3: Restore Nand
4: Transfer user to clean switch?
I'm not sure if reinitializing the console even checks if you are banned that's why I want to know if this will work.

You're still banned on nintendo's server side so obviously it wont work.

After being banned today, I must say I am kind of surprised it took that long. That being said, I did forget to clear Wi-Fi settings before launching a backup game with no certificate today, although I did not try to play online on it.

Additional Comments: Backed up nand and turned on airplane mode BEFORE launching cfw within SX-OS for any reason whatsoever. If any games not paid for get played, (have not done this yet.), then saves will be dumped with checkpoint before restoring the previous nand dump in full. Mostly using the switch right now for dumping personal backups of games purchased either as cart, or from the e-shop. Second switch is on the way with which I don't plan to use SX-OS, or any CFW at all on it, at most, just fusee gelee to do a nand dump and biskeydump only.

 

[Craftyawesome]

You're still banned on nintendo's server side so obviously it wont work.

I was thinking it might work because the only reason we can't unlink is because we can't access the eshop. If there isn't any additional protection it should work.

 

[werneck14]

Is it safe to run SX OS offline (airplane mode), reboot and then play legit games online, such as Splatoon 2, on OFW? I read some people say that we don't know if Nintendo keeps logs even offline and we could see a ban wave of people using CFW offline. Should i wait Atmosphere-NX to do such a thing or if i want CFW i should forget of playing legit games online?

 

[lufeig]

if you want to be safe, don't hack your switch

nobody knows Nintendo's criteria for sure yet

 

[peteruk]

Just wanted to share some findings....

(2 weeks ago I unlinked my account from the Switch)

Decided to link an account just to see if my console is banned and it's a NO (how the fcuk that is the case I'll never know)

I've done absolutely everything we're not supposed to do on mine...

SXOS all versions
Layered FS
ReiNX
DevMenu installed on Nand
Used NSP's
Tinfoil
Hekate

Either I am very lucky or unlinking a couple of weeks back has shielded me ? Doubt it tbh

Anyway have just unlinked again

Not terribly bothered if I do receive a ban, however the Super Ban would make things inconvenient should that come my way

People have been for booting into OFW to update their backups in SX OS and getting banned, but if you were to boot into OFW without SX OS, it might be safer.

 

[sblast3]

Let's say you:
1) Install a pirated .NSP which has a "Device ID" mismatch in it's "App Ticket"
2) Uninstall the .NSP
3) Connect to the internet afterwards

Would your console send Nintendo logs of previously installed tickets?

Skipped them due to the fact that i haven't ever touched LayeredFS
