Hacking The status of Gateway and A9LH

[zes]

Thanks to liomajor for the work around, but GW team still did not fix 3D tracking........

Weird, works for me, no more annoying close-lid-open-lid workaround. I'm using the 4.0a leaked launcher.dat, sysnand 11.0.

Easy Install using safeA9LHinstaller

This allows to have three stage 2 inside nand to load them
using button combinations while powering your console on!

This includes only stage 1/2 files and installer!

A hardwaremod is highly recommended - use at own RISK!

Toshiba worked, Samsung NAND problem should be gone!

Before installing this mod, please make a backup of your sysNAND!

You will need your very own private otp.bin and other files.

Details:

Stage 2                Button    Sector         Offset                            Path   File to load

payload_stage2.bin   = Default = Sector 5C000 = (5C000 * 200 hex) Offset B800000  \      arm9loaderhax.bin
payload_stage2_2.bin = X + Y   = Sector 5A000 = (5A000 * 200 hex) Offset B400000  \      launcher.dat
payload_stage2_3.bin = X + A   = Sector 5A100 = (5A100 * 200 hex) Offset B420000  \a9lh  arm9loaderhax.bin

1. Extract the rar file to your memorycard!
2. Copy the following files to A9LH folder: OTP.BIN (your own!) / firm0.bin / firm1.bin / secret_sector.bin
3. Either use your desired entry point to load Homebrew Launcher and start safeA9LH installer or update with included arm9loaderhax.bin
4. Press select to install/update a9lh

Already using a9lh? Use arm9loaderhax.bin to update!

Tested and works with my own new3DS XL, Columbo2811 tested his Samsung NAND (old3DS)!

Restoring NAND:

Either, use decrypt9/emunand9 and reinstall your backup nand.bin
or use unedited safea9lhinstaller to update the current installation.

Backing up your sysNAND will include all changes you did!

Known Bugs:

All the bugs inside launcher.dat and thats nothing to fix for me.

Example: launcher.dat doesn't detect region properly for nand.bin restore.

Button Combinations:

Want different combos? Please consider using a boot manager or take one from this!

You can freely change their configuration files and use it as default \arm9loaderhax.bin

I don't suggest to swap launcher.dat's stage 2 to boot by default,
but thats up to you. Currently i'm not taking requests.

Can i change Screen-Init Brightness?

For A9LH loading arm9loaderhax.bin it's possible, example:

payload_stage2.bin / payload_stage2_3.bin offset: 1C88

Currently it's 39, change it to whatever you want.

Have Fun

i need payload_stage1.bin in a9lh folder?

this is my files inside the a9lh folder

Yes, you need it. Don't delete it. Unless you want to replace it for another button combination payload_stage1.bin.

But don't delete it.

Looks right to me. Put the provided 'arm9loaderhax.bin' in root of sd card and run once (assuming you are updating a system with a9lh already setup).

 

[TheGreek Boy]

idon't want button combination SO I'M SAFE TO UPDATE A9LH WITH THE CURRENT FILES?

 

[satelman]

Here are variations to Stage 1:

payload_stage1-1st-2nd.bin > 1st loads sector 5A000, 2nd sector 5A100

payload_stage2 = default
payload_stage2_2 = 5A000
payload_stage2_3 = 5A100

Take the stage 1 you desire to load it the way you want
and rename the file to payload_stage1.bin for installation.

This file contains: A/B/X/Y/START, LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN
and for non Luma3DS SELECT/START.

Now you know all buttons, you could even hex edit it.

Hi, again, @liomajor,

One question: is the following table correct/safe to use?

 

[hominid9]

Is there a way to change the .sav folder for the save games? I mean editing Launcher.dat with a Hex Editor. It's so stupid that they use the root folder for this.

 

[liomajor]

is the following table correct/safe to use?

Compared, looks right for the current Stage 1.

The offset will change when Stage 1 gets
updated, check if it does match and don't
install if if it doesn't!

 

[Azmort]

I just don't get the part of firm0.bin / firm1.bin and secret partition, should I dump it? I guess it's with Decrypt9, just need to get that.

Thanks for confirming, @liomajor!

it actually works with 4.0a.

Since it never worked with 3.7.1, why would it suddenly work without updating the launcher.dat?

 

[Pokéidiot]

Does gateway's arm9loaderhax.bin harms the console?
If no, I would like to have this (even without a gateway flashcard).

You can only boot the gateway menu with this, you need the flashcard to do anything with it. Why would you want that?

So.. tomorrow, then?

I was actually serious.

48 hours after the weekend would be then.. right?

Who actually knows what Gateway's doing now. Maybe they're trying to fix all of these bugs and compiling a stable release or they're planning a third wave of betas... The only thing we can do now is patiently waiting for their announcement.

I see. You are right.

At least they won't brick things this way, which is good. :-)

So just checking, do I need to be on 9.2 or can I be on 9.0 to use the a9lh exploit and guide?
