Question about "Online"

[sinirl]

Ok, so today i got my Pro Mod and installed it.
After i was done and booted to test the sx os, i noticed that it keeps all settings from the original software.
Well, when i noticed this, it was already to late to turn off my wlan router.....
Now i instantly shutdown my switch and booted to original firmware to enable flightmod (disable wifi)

But now i read that going online will garantue ban the switch.
Now i wonder what is ment by going "Online".
Is it allready enough to just have the wifi enabled and internet access, or do i need to do something specific, like go to store, play game etc. (which i didn't do)

can i allready kiss my switch goodbye? :facepalm:

ok, thanks alot for your answer! that gives me hope

i also got close to heart attack when i wanted to fire up the dongle for the 1st time and couldnt turn on the switch anymore
nothing, black screen, no reactions. luckily the switch recovers after plugging in the joycon and loading cable for some time.

took me a while to figure out the dongle needs power/charge to operate

I did the same thing and Switch was never banned. I NAND swap all the time from CFW to OFW on that switch for past 3 months or so and no problems.

IMO if it's just quick and you didn't have pirated games on it or go to eShop you should be safe. You will know around the 18th when they release 6.0.0 and eshop goes down for mantainance that's when they seem to do the bans of flagged switches and certs.

So do you think if we reload OFW and have an original copy off fortnight it will be ok and play online?
