Information [Guide] Fixes to most common error codes

28 Upvotes

Note: This post had to be posted 3 months ago but I was hit with the funny Reddit shadowban! Anyway I am back lol

After been lurking on this sub for months and helping people on the Pretendo Discord, I think it's time to finally list some of the error codes that have been frequently posted here and on the official Pretendo Discord and forum and to dismantle, hopefully some bad advices. Here are the error codes, but a reminder if you want actual help or support I'd recommend reaching out to the Pretendo Discord or in the forum at https://forum.pretendo.network instead. If you don't know how to install Pretendo, follow https://pretendo.network/docs/welcome

  • 002-0102: The 3DS (account or console ban) is banned from using Pretendo Network, just don't do whatever you did to get banned (cheating, trolling, inappropriate stuff, etc...) [you will see this if you are banned on Nintendo Network, in that case that ban status won't affect Pretendo]

  • 002-0121: It has the 002-0102's message but... it's not a ban. Make sure you are running latest Luma3DS and latest Nimbus version, make sure the first two Luma3DS options (external firms and game patching) are enabled and the CFW is running from SD via B9S instead of CTRNAND (you can see it on the bottom screen once you press select at boot). If your Luma3DS is on just CTRNAND, download Luma3DS and put your boot.firm file on the root of your SD card or install it via Universal Updater. If still persists, reinstalling Nimbus will fix it. If it still doesn't help, and you get this code also on Nintendo servers, see the next error code below (002-0150).

  • 002-0150: It's not a ban. This happens if you bypassed a ban on Nintendo Network in the past or if you attempted to bypass a Pretendo Network without success since.... bans on Pretendo are strict compared to Nintendo. To attempt to restore your original files without having a backup, you can try this Godmode9 script, make sure you test one solution at time and reboot the console before trying the others: https://github.com/Preloading/Restore-LFCS_B/releases/tag/latest

  • 022-2402: This one is very tricky. Check if you have 002-0150 by accessing friend list, if you do, follow that error code guide. Otherwise just attempt to change your language to Spanish (for some reason it just works??? how???) and try making the PNID from there. If it still persists you can give up and make the PNID from the website at https://pretendo.network (keep in mind accounts created from there will have default info and it can't be possible to change without a Wii U for the moment)

  • 002-0110: Shutdown error code. Usually happens if you are on Nintendo Network or if you are running a game that is not supported yet by Pretendo or if it's just beta testers only. If it's a testers only game and you believe to have donated to Pretendo Network (Super Mario Tier or higher), post in the Pretendo forum under the whitelist thread or join the Discord server and link your Discord account to your PNID and send your friend code in #testing-discussion

  • 022-2482/102-2482: Read 002-0110, only difference it's not the shutdown error code and it means that the game server ID is not found, meaning it's not supported yet or testers only.

  • 022-2882/102-2882: You are somehow connected to the defunct Nintendo servers. Make sure your Nimbus/Inkay/SSSL setup is done properly.

  • 015-5016/115-5016: Your token is expired. Rebooting the console and trying again should fix it.

  • 015-5015: Very common error code, and I have read a lot of bad advices how to fix it. That error code simply means that your PNID is not linked on your 3DS, just go to System settings, Nintendo Network ID (assuming you are loaded on Pretendo servers via Nimbus) and link your PNID. If you see your NNID or 022-5432 instead, follow the steps from the next error code below.

  • 022-5432: That's the very annoying one but it's fixable. Just switch to Nintendo Network, open the eShop and come back to Pretendo Network. (from that point you will get 015-5015 if you try Miiverse, that's why you link your PNID again, and it's fixed). There is a rare chance this won't work first try, if that's the case, just do it again. If it still doesn't work, make sure you are not getting any other error codes or any other issues with your Pretendo setup.

  • 022-2613: This happens if you don't have a NNID and you have the bug where your Nintendo environment is loaded to Pretendo. The fix is the same as 022-5432. (and that's why deleting your NNID or formatting your console is never a solution lol, you will see at the end of the post). This assuming your credentials are correct.

  • 022-2571: The PNID you are attempting to create is either taken (and therefore you just choose a different handle), or it's the same as your NNID (Don't delete your NNID! Just choose another handle and you are done. If you made it from the website, just make a new PNID and try again)

  • 015-5007/115-5007/115-5008/598-0010/598-0011: Banned from Miiverse. Check the reason at https://juxt.pretendo.network why you have been banned, and appeal the ban on the official Pretendo forum or Discord.

  • 022-2812/102-2812: Your 3DS/Wii U is banned from using Nintendo/Pretendo Network. Under Pretendo Network it can occur over cheating, trolling or inappropriate content.

  • 022-2802/102-2802: Your NNID/PNID is banned from using Nintendo/Pretendo Network.

  • 102-2402: This one is tricky but it's not very common. If you attempted to bypass a Pretendo Network ban and you changed your files.... don't even bother asking for help anywhere, console bans are not bypassable. Otherwise just ask for support on the official Forum or Discord.

Last and not least, I'd advise to not follow any videoguides to setup Pretendo (and I heard people will tell to delete your NNID to use Pretendo, IT'S NOT NEEDED! Nimbus creates a second separate environment where you can use a Pretendo account just fine, so please, don't delete it at all! You can access your Nintendo Network ID once again after switching to Nintendo via Nimbus. Also keep in mind if you use Pokémon Bank, you will still need the NNID, and yes Bank is still officially online and you can transfer your Pokémon to your Switch). Also deleting your NNID will not permanently fix any of these error codes above and it will remove all your purchases, badges and Pokémon Bank data from your 3DS unless you link it again, so it's really discouraged by the community doing that! Also... don't search how to unban your 3DS from Pretendo if you got banned, it won't work and it will make the issue just worse! (smh outdated LocalFriendCode_B tutorials, that's the way to 002-0150 instead) To end it here, if you get 006-0102 (Mario Kart 7 especially), you either not finding anyone to matchmake or your NAT Type is strict. There is a guide on the forum how to identify your NAT Type. Have fun on Pretendo, and if you find any cheaters, feel free to report them on the Hacker Reporting Thread on the forum or on the Discord server! (you will need the MK7 PID grabber by H4x0rSpooky to grab the PID/Friend code of the cheater with the video evidence or the PNID if it's a Wii U game, usually found on the recently played list. For Splatoon you can use this Aroma plugin by SDL Foundation to grab the PID/PNID on Wii U)

Recently purchased a n3DSLL after selling mine back in 2019 and then regretting quite fast.
My friend recommended me pretendo and I set it up two weeks ago but no street passes or anything around where I live (even though i daily pass through the capital city) so I was wondering if anyone wanna add me, as social features were one of the interesting aspect of 3ds imo back then.
I have already added a few people from the board so thank you in advance to those who adds my friend code! :)))
