With a quick Google search, I found that the error you're encountering is related to your CFW/EmuNAND setup. You're likely blocking Nintendo servers with a blank PRODINFO or a similar configuration.

The guide’s FAQ clearly states that you need to be able to connect to Nintendo’s servers, and EmuNAND isn’t supported.

My only suggestions are: do a clean CFW SysNAND installation, avoid using EmuNAND, and steer clear of piracy.

Is there a way I can edit the received date of the WR (I cannot influence the received date by changing my switch's date) using the software?

You can use switch-time when you receive the wondercards, see the FAQs

Okay, I have already received the wondercard, can switch-time edit previously obtained wondercards?

Also, is there a limit to how many wondercards the game stores? I am looking through my old wondercards, and I am noticing that the earliest wondercards I received before are not there anymore.

You can hex-edit the Wonder Record block if you have the technical know-how. Everything known about it should be documented in this thread:

The record limit is determined by the size of the Mystery Gift record block. I'm not sure of the exact number, but yes, there is a limit.

Hi I was trying to get to initialize the passphrase.bin on BDSP and followed all your steps but it is still showing up on my BCAT file. I can still connect to the internet but the "check for mystery gift" option is still greyed out. Do you have any advice on what I can do?

The passphrase.bin file must be present in the BCAT.  
The option you see grayed out is most likely the one that displays the wonder records of your redeemed gifts.  

If you want to initialize the BCAT, you’ll need to try to redeem gifts from the official servers (without code/password). After that, dump the BCAT again.

OMG thank you for your answer! I just realized you meant that ONLY a passphrase.bin = bad. My reading skills are through the ground ;-;

Hi thank you so much for  your commitment to persevering old Events. 
 

regarding switch-time would it still be the tool to use or was it replaced through the Wonder Records Tool? 
 

Or if switch time would still be the way to go for the things I want to do. 
 

I want to get the event clothing items in PLA and Sword/Shield as well as getting the watchtower event items

 

and then send them to my unhacked OLED and then to my Switch 2

Afaik the wonder record tool only works for a few titles, and unsure it let you edit wonder record dates, if that's the goal. Switch time would be the only solution to have correct dates in both the redeemed pokemon and the wonder records. SwSh and BDSP take the local date/time for received pokemon (though not for the wonder records).

I see so switch-time it is. 
 

Just to be sure of the steps 

 

1. I create a new save

2. Back it up 

3. Use switch-time and edit to the corresponding wonder card date 

4. Connect to the internet and redeem the gift 

5. Close the game and edit the time back to the normal time or to the next gift time? 
 

6. Repeat right?

You can redeem all the gifts in the very same save file, no need to create new saves unless that's specifically one of your goals.

You can also change the internal time with switch-time while the game is running, between gift redemptions.

Just make sure to use consistent date / times, see FAQ 8.

I'd like to ask something about this tool. I'm very new to all of this, I just recently modded my switch. As of right now in Pokémon Scarlet/Violet the Shiny Miraidon & Koraidon is happening through mystery gift codes. Is it possible to redeem both Miraidon and Koraidon without any codes by using this Gift Data Manager?

Yes, but they're still version exclusives. You'd likely have to redeem the Koraidon in Violet, and Miraidon in Scarlet.

Thank you so much for the reply! I guess I'll have to try that. Ok. Yes, they're version exclusive but Is there any reason why in the video on the first post it was possible to redeem both Shiny Zamazenta and Shiny in the same game? It also made me curious

Korean codes would have allowed to redeem them in both the game versions, they were not version exclusives. Their wondercards were shared for both the games in the servers. In the Koraidon and Miraidon case, the wondercard for Koraidon is not available on Scarlet servers, and the wondercard for Miraidon is not available on Violet servers.

Hi there, I just came back to give my feedback. Thank you very much, I was able to redeem Shiny Koraidon in multiple saves in my Violet game. You sire are the best, you and everyone who developed this tool

Acerca de

Esta herramienta tiene como objetivo recuperar el contenido de eventos anteriores de Mystery Gift en todos los juegos de Pokémon para Nintendo Switch. Dado que esos juegos no permiten la inyección de eventos en el archivo SAV, esta herramienta crea un paquete BCAT falsificado, inyectable con homebrews como JKSV.
Esto permite canjear tarjetas maravillosas a través del menú de regalos misteriosos del juego. El uso de esta herramienta no implica hackear la ROM del juego ni hackear el SAV del juego.

Ejemplo de vídeo:

Divulgación

Ni yo ni el personal del Proyecto Pokémon asumimos ninguna responsabilidad por posibles resultados adversos o prohibiciones debido al uso de esta herramienta. Úselo a su propia discreción.
NB: Algunos archivos BCAT contienen información sensible específica de la consola, que debes mantener segura. ¡No compartas tu BCAT con otros!

Tutorial de uso

El siguiente tutorial se refiere a la Versión GUI del programa.
El.Actualmente, la aplicación CommandLine es solo un script simple que llama al .Funciones principales y puede ejecutarse en cualquier sistema operativo popular. Su uso es similar al de la aplicación Windows Form y debería ser bastante intuitivo.

1. Asegúrese de tener lo requerido .Tiempo de ejecución de escritorio NET 9.0.x correctamente instalado
2. Descargue la última versión de la herramienta desde GitHub
3. Deshazte del BCAT de tu juego con JKSV y guarda algunas copias en algún lugar seguro
     Revelar contenidos ocultos

   • Abra JKSV desde Homebrew Launcher:
       Revelar contenidos ocultos

     

   • Seleccione BCAT
       Revelar contenidos ocultos

     

   • Selecciona tu juego preferido
       Revelar contenidos ocultos

     

   • Prensa L+R+A mientras flota "Nuevo" para iniciar el proceso de dumping
       Revelar contenidos ocultos

     

   • Una carpeta llamada "BCAT [FECHA] @ [HORA]" se generará en el SD/JKSV/[Tu ID de juego] camino
       Revelar contenidos ocultos

     

4. Abrir el Cambiar administrador de datos de regalos herramienta y selecciona el juego que prefieras
5. Importar archivos wondercard de su elección (arrastrando y soltando o haciendo clic en `Abrir archivos` botón)
6. Finalmente edite el id de wondercard (WCID) si tiene WC no válidos y haga clic en `Aplicar`
7. Haga clic en el `Guardar como paquete BCAT` botón y seleccione su carpeta BCAT volcada en el "Ruta BCAT de origen" sección. La ruta debe conducir a la carpeta que contiene los archivos "directorios.meta", "etag.bin", "lista.msgpack", "na_requerido", "frase de contraseña.bin" [NB: si tu BCAT abandonado solo tiene el "frase de contraseña.bin" archivo, significa que no se inicializó correctamente. Conéctate en el juego y usa cualquier función de Mystery Gift al menos una vez para inicializar el BCAT. Descargar Wild Area News o Poké Portal News también funciona]
8. Haga clic en "Guardar" botón
9. Una carpeta llamada "Forged_BCAT_{Juego}" debería aparecer junto a tu BCAT volcado (o en cualquier ruta que hayas seleccionado en "Ruta BCAT de destino")
10. Restaurar el BCAT falsificado con JKSV
      Revelar contenidos ocultos

    • Mueva su BCAT falsificado a SD/JKSV/[Tu ID de juego]
    • Abierto JKSV y seleccione BCAT
    • Selecciona tu juego de elección
    • Pase el cursor sobre el BCAT forjado y presione Y
        Revelar contenidos ocultos

      

    • Presione A para confirmar
11. Para canjear los eventos antiguos, abre tu juego -> Menú -> Regalo Misterioso -> canjear vía Internet
12. Cuando haya terminado, restaure su paquete BCAT original con JKSV (no hacerlo puede causar problemas de sincronización)

NB: La sincronización BCAT generalmente ocurre entre las 12:00 a. m. (UTC) y la 01:00 a. m. (UTC) si hay contenido BCAT nuevo en los servidores. Sugiero no seguir este procedimiento durante ese período de tiempo para evitar una desincronización. Si experimenta una desincronización, siga uno de estos métodos para volver a sincronizar:

• Abre JKSV, selecciona BCAT, pasa el cursor sobre tu juego y presiona X Para abrir el menú, haga clic en `Restablecer datos guardados`.
    Revelar contenidos ocultos

  

• Descarga la última versión de BCAT para tu juego desde citricbolt's sitio web y agregue los archivos faltantes a su BCAT volcado, luego restaúrelo con JKSV.
