Thanks.
I think it is better for me to go back to OFM and play legit games.
It is easier for me.

Possible with a nand backup but I don't think it will be 100% ban proof anyway.
In theory rewriting nand to original should work but possible big N has logged things other ways flagging your console

Slam is correct. Only "safe" way to do it would be if you have a clean nand backup before you loaded a custom firmware, but even that is not 100% guaranteed to not get a ban after you restore it. Another way would be if you have been using SX 2.3 and emunand on your SD card from the beginning and never booted SX without emunand on. Even that would still not be guaranteed to be "clean". If you don't have a clean nand back up you can just wipe your SD card and boot your Switch normally which will load OFW. There will 100% still be traces in the nand from the CFW though so you can definitely still be banned. If you truly don't want to use CFW anymore I would suggest finding someone to buy the modded switch from you with SX and just get another one that hasn't been modded.

As a note if I remember correctly Nintendo doesn't just ban the console either. They ban whatever Nintendo account was linked to the switch too so if you sign in on another switch I think that will be banned as well. At least that's what I remember from early videos of people who got banned.

Nintendo lifted bans and allowed anyone to update to 6.2 to try and "fix" switches. For a limited time.
It would not surprise me if that was done again on next update
Worth keeping in mind if you really want to go back

Thanks for your kind replies.
I don't have a clean nand backup to begin with, one before I boot CFW and played backups.
I think it doesn't help much at this point to back up nand. But I am still backing up my nand, just so in case I brick it.
Also, am trying to install sx os 2.3 for the emunand on sd card.

I think I may keep the mod switch for myself. I don't play online, but just want to keep the game updated.
It seems complicated to me to just think about how to get the updates from the web, let alone installing it.
Thanks for help again.
