Nintendo most likely doesn't focus on 3DS security anymore. Thousands of people use custom firmware on their consoles without issue. The time where a ban is most likely is when cheats are used in public online rooms. | Nintendo most likely doesn't focus on 3DS security anymore.

Nintendo is shutting down online play and services for the 3DS in April 2024. There will be nothing to be banned from anymore. | |||
In the past, there was one well-documented ban wave: when Pokémon Sun and Moon leaked online, some people downloaded it and used its online services before release. Bans were given to those who had done so. | In the past, there was one well-documented ban wave: when Pokémon Sun and Moon leaked online, some people downloaded it and used its online services before release.

== Sending console in for repairs == | |||
Nintendo might not like receiving a console with boot9strap on it, so removing custom firmware temporarily would be a good idea. In this case you should make backups of the NAND in the event that Nintendo sends back a new console instead of repairing your existing one. | |||
Keep in mind that Nintendo is slowly discontinuing repairs for 3DS models. As of February 24, 2022, Nintendo no longer repairs the Old 3DS, Old 3DS XL, or New 3DS (non-XL). | |||
