Solution to fix 002-0122 even after updating Nimbus

Solution to fix 002-0122 even after updating Nimbus

(Updated with new instructions)

Hey all, a small update on the persistent 002-0122 error code.

This was caused by a mismatch of encoding types between the Account server and the Friends server, which has since been fixed. Existing Pretendo users and new users made after this announcement are not affected by this bug. If you are still receiving this error, try following these instructions to update Nimbus.

If you have newly installed Pretendo on a 3DS, and opened Nimbus for the first time in the last 2 days, you will have a persistent 002-0122 error code. You can follow the instructions below to resolve this issue.

Fixing a persistent 002-0122 error:

  1. Delete the file .pidhmac from the SD card in this directory: SD:/3ds/nimbus/.pidhmac
    1. We recommend the homebrew app 3DShell (available in Universal Updater) as a safe SD card file manager if you are unable to use a computer to delete the file.
      1. To delete the file with 3DShell, navigate to the directory listed above, highlight the file, and then click the 3-line symbol at the top of the touch screen and hit Delete, and confirm.
  2. Re-open Nimbus and it should prompt the "Nimbus has been updated, press Start to reboot".
  3. Open Friend List and confirm you no longer receive the error.

Network maintenance completed

This maintenance was done to resolve a security flaw on our network. We identified and fixed an issue that would allow an attacker to access accounts without proper authorization, which was used against Juxt staff in order to spam posts on their accounts. Only two staff accounts were accessed with this exploit, so you do not need to take any action to keep your account secure.

Update details

Wii U users will not need to update Inkay or their DNS settings,

3DS users will receive a 002-0122 error if they do not update Nimbus.
You can update and fix the error by following these steps:

  • Updating Nimbus with Universal Updater or the new release on GitHub
  • Opening Nimbus, and clicking the START button to reboot and apply the fix
  • Applying the fix will take a few seconds after rebooting.
  • If the error remains, you may need to get closer to your router or force reboot your console to get a reliable connection. Also see this.

Thank you for all your support and patience over the last few days!

:)

Practice Tips

Hello again! I am practicing yet again for September. I currently have a 1430 (700RW/730M) and took these two practice tests recently. Yes, these are repeats (especially 9 although I haven't taken 7 since 6 months ago so I have forgoten most of the questions). Alongside these, I have been studying the question bank, QOTD, and grinding Oneprep. I need some tips to improve my score to a 1500+, and what strategies do y'all use to analyze long reading passages quickly and correctly?

Future AP course

My teacher told me today that CB sent them a survey to give feedback for a proposed AP Engineering Design class. Does this mean we’re getting more AP Career Kickstart courses because I’m jealous as I’m a high school senior, like why wasn’t this an option sooner 😭

4 out of 10 of the highest user rated games this year on Metacritic are from Nintendo. S*ny fans need to cope and stop saying that the Switch 2 has no games

Anybody refusing to update?

Currently, my 3060 Ti is making around $1.25 a day, which wasn't the case a few days ago. I know there is a new update, but the last time I updated, my earnings dropped significantly (by more in the cents). Is anybody holding out as well?

Last chance to take the SAT in September (1430 to 1500+) - any tips?

Hey all! I took the SAT in May and scored 1430 (700 rw/730m). The score breakdowns for both subjects show that I'm all in the 7 score band for each domain, but I know I usually struggle more with the long reading passages and vocab. What are some more ways that I can prepare to score high on the next SAT? I took September because August is sold out where I live. I am familiar with Oneprep, Bluebook practice tests (I took all), etc.

The ignorance is out of hand

First, Splatoon Raiders is NOT an online-only game. Next, assuming that this is the only Nintendo non-GKC is undoubtedly untrue. For example, there were Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Mario Tennis Fever, among others. The amount of misinformation in this post is insane.

Update on recent maintenance + blog post

We have begun the process of slowly bringing everything out of maintenance. The reason for the unexpected downtime was due to a security report we received privately. Much like with the ACNL RCE report, we opted to take things down while we investigated. Rather than updating this post with any new information, for the latest details and information see https://pretendo.network/blog/7-17-26.

Not everything will be up right away, this is a slow rollout. The following services are being put back up currently:

- The website and forum
- The account server
- The friends list server
- Mario Kart 8
- ACNL
- Smash
- Metroid Prime FF

All other games and services, including Juxtaposition, are still being prepped with the relevant updates. Certain games which still run on older versions of our libraries, or which have custom/non-standard features, such as Super Mario Maker and Splatoon, may take additional time to bring back up. We thank you for your patience as we get everything back up and running.

Update: Another batch of games are back:

- Dr. Luigi
- Ironfall: Invasion
- Kid Icarus: Uprising
- Mario Kart 7
- Minecraft: Wii U Edition
- Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure
- Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
- Pikmin 3
- Pokémon Rumble World
- Pokkén Tournament
- Steel Diver: Sub Wars
- Super Mario 3D World
- Super Mario Maker
- Team Kirby: Clash Deluxe
- Luigi's Mansion 2
- Yo-Kai Watch: Blasters

Work is ongoing on the other games not listed. Thanks for your patience while we work this out. Certain services have been a little wobbly, so please bear with us while we bring everything back to full

Update 2: Another batch of games are back online:

- Monster Hunter Generations
- Splatoon
- Tri Force Heroes
- Yo-Kai Watch 2

Tester-only ones:

- F1 2011
- Super Street Fighter IV

All of these games required code changes, so please bear with them if they have a bit more work that needs to be done. The instability mentioned in the last announcement should be resolved, however.
