So in that case, it's not a bootrom exploit itself. Good god.

Just ignore the people who don't realise exploiting a bug in the bootrom is a bootrom exploit

lmao I'm done.
The sigpatch doesn't exploit the bootrom itself, the actual bootrom exploit exploits it, lmao.
All the sigpatch does is use the exploited bootrom to it's advantage, to enable FW signing.
Have a nice day!

totally confused with everything now, half the users here say my op is correct he other ones say I completely messed it up

k thanks
We aren't touching the bootrom, it's readonly anway, all we are doing is exploiting the fact it only requires half assed signatures to load the firmware which can be brute forced since its only a couple bytes that are required
I think the misunderstanding here is the fact that an exploit, in your definition, can only mean taking over control of the code. That is not the case, defeating the bootrom's ability to verify firmware code as correctly signed is definitely exploiting a flaw in the bootrom itself.

XD You might wanna edit it thought lol it should be "realise" not "release" oops lol
I'm suddenly and inexplicably reminded of grade school. Wonder why...
Anyway, I agree with @Crystal the Glaceon, the more options the community has, the better. Especially in light of Ninty's sudden enhanced interest in crushing fan games and homebrew.

pretty muchit basically turns this
into this
damn" relealise" Achievment unlocked! Invented a new word when fixing an error
that literally killed me, I´m dumb
What's up with the scene lately? Everyone has become such naysayers. Like this is cool stuff! Another means of booting into CFW? And even faster than A9LH! That's cool as hell!
I don't remember this much pissing and moaning when A9LH was revealed.

Some have been spoilt for choice with CFW and means of putting it on their 3DS'.
They'd no doubt be a little more humble if things like this were held back until it's needed instead of just throwing it into the basket of current CFW installation methods etc.
Or we could just be happy that we are getting somewhere. This is actually big stuff! We will have even more control over the system than ever before!
People are acting like this is some small project they could have done in a few hours, instead of the major achievement that took years to accomplish.

This is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've read all day.
The boot ROM has a vulnerability in its RSA signature verification; therefore, something that takes advantage of it is a boot ROM exploit. What else would it be, an Internet Explorer exploit?
...unless you're trying to say that the only possible "boot ROM exploit" is a way to dump the boot ROM.
EDIT: Oh, so you're trying to be pedantic by claiming the signature patch itself isn't an "exploit", but the program used to generate the patch is. Or something like that; I don't speak fluent noob.
