I'm banned for no reason

Hi

I got this error saying that my 3DS has restricted access to going online

I followed the steps to install the Nimbus app. Everything went well. I was able to access MK7 online, but after a few minutes, I got this “002-0121 This device’s access to online services has been restricted by Nintendo” error for no reason.

However when I enable the “enable loading external FIRMs and modules” option from the Luma menu, I get this

Is there a step I missed that could have caused the ban? Did I do something wrong in the installation process?

That error code 002-0150 is a serial number mismatch.

Did you ever change the serial number? Or did you just buy this 3DS?

Hmmm no, I don’t know how to do that kind of things. I’ve had my 3ds since 2018.

As an additional fact, I was banned a long time ago for having CFW and I got unbanned thanks to an internet tutorial so I don’t know if that has anything to do with the ban

Yes, “unbanning” from Nintendo Network involves changing the serial.

I will ask a Network Mod to provide the steps to revert the 3DS serial.

Pretendo doesn’t work with swapped LFCS files. Revert the original one to play. If you lost the backup, use Release Restore LFCS v1.2 · Preloading/Restore-LFCS_B · GitHub

I got this copy fail error, am I cooked?

Hello. Don’t panic!

I don’t know what this means (I am way more a Wii U guy than 3DS), but Piplup does and they’ll respond when they can. Thank you for that image though, I think it will help.

What did you do to get this error?

I got a message asking if I wanted to make a backup of my current LFCS which I accepted but I got that error.

Then a menu appears with some restoration options, the same copy fail error appears when I try to restore the Original LFCS

After much trying, I finally got past that error. But I still get error 002-0150 when I try to access MK7 online.

Did you try all the 5 options?

Ahhh silly me :man_facepalming:t2:

I had limited myself to the “Restore LFCS” option because I had no idea what the other 4 were for, but after you told me to try the other ones, I went with “Remove Seed” first and… voilà it’s working now.

Thank you so much!
