Profile exploit was closed in 7.X. So even if whatever kernel exploit he using,is still available there, there's no entry point or at least not an easy one, that requires nothing else.

Well see that's the thing, though. We don't know what exploit he's using. He just released the fact that he's got it working under "an exploit". We don't know which exploit it is, or how he achieved such a vulnerability. If it can be achieved here, then why not on 7.x? He just (literally just) showed it to us. Nin hasn't released a firmware to block it yet, meaning it should be available on latest firmwares, correct?
Do we know that it was closed in 7x? (I'm pretty sure we do, yes). But there's still a chance he found a new exploit in the "profile" section of the data. I'd say at the moment, everything stated about the firmware cap is just an assumption. I'm not saying I doubt you guys, but I'd like some proof first.

Technically, they could make an extra push to start shipping all new consoles with a 7.x firmware installed BUT there's no way for them to force a console someone has already purchased at 6.x or lower to update if their internet is turned off (or only set to connect to the internet inside of an emuNAND)
It's very possible that 5.x and 7.x are also exploitable and that the exploit just hasn't been found yet or just need some tweaking on the original exploit for them to work which is what the case was with 6.x up until now (if you try to enter that part of the profile settings with 7.x or 5.x and the loader.dat file in place, does it still crash? ... I don't actually have a 3DS so have no idea)
EDIT :
'd
the current exploits work in 2 stages.
4.x stage 1 & 2 work
5.x-6.x stage 1 worked but stage 2 was now broken/patched (this new exploit shows that a new stage 2 method has been found)
7.x + Stage 1 has now been fixed, who knows maybe the new stage 2 works, but without a stage 1 exploit you can't really test it
if this new stage 2 exploit works in 7.x i would imagine some hackers are looking for a usermode(stage 1) exploit to test if the kernel (stage 2) exploit still works for 7.x

I quite like the red/white 2ds
. Might grab one if 6.3 exploit gets released or when first 7.x consoles start showing up.
Wow! Just Wow! Is there anything this guy can't do?!?! Smea is the breath of fresh air the 3DS homebrew scene needed..... This is so awesome that I couldn't be mad if he doesn't choose to release it
yes, he had to send his 3ds to someone to install a usb port for nand access
not everyone can do eveything
anyone notice the little dings by the dpad.......even smea makes mistakes ...well not to mention the brick, but oh well its all part of the learning process, and btw im pretty sure with a little more practice smea would of got the soldering sorted, but he took the responsible route

I think it's been known for awhile that 6.X still had a weakness but everything above that was fixed tight
Until something is released to the public 4.5 consoles are not obsolete.
Business plan: Stock up on 6.3 3DSs now, sell them for a higher price next year when nintendo releases 7.0 3DSs.
Why stock up on them now when they will still be available for the next year. 4.5 consoles were available for a long time, even after gateway was released
In terms of this working on 7.X, remember the usermode savegame exploits back in late 2012, I don't think they were ever patched.
even so, eventually there will be 7.0+ 3ds's in stores, and people will want serial numbers. We just need to find the highest serial number someone owns right now
So wouldn't it make more sense to collect serial numbers of 7.X consoles once they are released?
Nice!
Now to hope that scumbags won't make money off off this new find by buying bulk 6.3 3DSses and selling them for twice as much.

I talked with Smea on IRC apparently the exploit still works on 7.x
Because he is using the same mset hack for entry which was finally patched in 7.x, so even though the kernel exploit still exists in 7.x they would need a new entry point, and im presuming if he had 1 he would demo 7.x
maybe he used someone elses entry point to test it, but as it isn't his exploit he won't show yet
regardless come on 6.x exploitable, why does everyone always want more XD
althoooouughh, a 7.x exploit would mean 7.x keys
