Incognito_RCM is a bare metal Nintendo Switch payload that derives encryption keys for de- and encrypting PRODINFO partition (sysnand and emummc) and wiping personal information from your Nintendo Switch as to go online while worrying slightly less about a ban. It has a builtin backup and restore functionality.

It is heavily based on Lockpick RCM and takes inspiration from incognito.

Note: If you have Atmosphere, it's recommended that you configure exosphere.ini to conceal your serial instead.

Features

  • Wipe personal information on sysnand/emunand.
  • Backup prodinfo from sysnand/emunand.
  • Restore prodinfo to sysnand/emunand.

User guide

Note: This project is in early stage, so have a nand backup.

Launch Incoginito_RCM.bin using your favorite payload injector.

Use menu to make a backup (will be written to sd:/prodinfo_sysnand.bin and sd:/prodinfo_emunand.bin respectively).

Choose either Incognito (sysNAND) or Incognito (emuMMC) to wipe personal information.

If you ever want to revert, choose restore menu points.

Notes

This application does not remove all personal information from your Switch, and should not be treated as a true preventative measure against getting banned.

Always have a NAND backup. The author is not responsible for any bricks or bans. Use at your own risk, as this is an experimental program.

This application backs up your PRODINFO to the SD card. You should keep this backup in a more secure location, and not leave it on the SD card where it could be subject to corruption or be read by malicious applications.

Compatibility

This has only been tested by the author on firmware 8.1.0.

Known issues

Chainloading from SX will hang immediately due to quirks in their hwinit code, please launch payload directly.
