Just when you think the 3DS just can't possibly get more stable, Nintendo is there to remind us. A new system update 11.7.0-40 was pushed out to consoles on June 18. The age-old quote straight from Nintendo detailing the changes made is below. Of course, with the 3DS still getting official games and support from Nintendo, it's very likely we'll continue seeing software updates for a while yet, even if they're sporadic.

• Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience

Rumor has it someone gave Donald Trump a 3DS (source: this guy).

Result: an actually stable government.

This is kind of shocking. I thought 11.6 would be the last.
Anyway, it would have been really interesting if nintendo hadnt gave up with the 3ds. Imagine the interest of all the groups when they patched the magnethax/ntrboot, seedminer and other entry points even at least for all the 2ds XLs.
But nintendo will be nintendo. Look at the switch. No news for the fixes in tegra X1 bootrom.

Can someone please count and tell me how many stability-only updates we got consecutively?

EDIT: Apparently since 9.8

Finally, the 3DS is more stable than my life!

I wouldn’t be too proud of that tbh

I haven't actually had the time to look at what was changed, but I am gonna assume that they didn't change the Native_FIRM (educated guess since the reboot patches weren't broken)

Does the hbl cia work on Rei-Six or CakesFW if you rename the 11.6 payload? If not then assuming the payloads aren't updated for 11.7 then how hard would it be to make a payload that uses svcBackdoor instead of whatever exploit they are using now for process takeover?

I didn't have time to really do any deep testing. I always check to make sure the reboot patches weren't broken before moving onto any specific testing. Dax did answer this question

Smea released new payloads rather quickly, and they work fine with the hblauncher loader CIA, just grab the otherapp payload from http://smealum.github.io/3ds/, name it as <OLD/NEW>-11-7-0-40-<USA/EUR/REGION HERE>.bin (for example, my N3DS would use NEW-11-7-0-40-USA.bin), and stick it in the hblauncherloader folder on your SD card.

So they basically just took 10 months to mildly inconvenience the payloads.

Can we talk to sakurai for make this "STABILITY" a fighter in Smash Bros Ultimate?

 

[godreborn]

drops 3ds from high ledge, cracks screen. doesn't seem all that stable to me...

Just when you think the 3DS just can't possibly get more stable

made me more laugh than it should lol

 

[W4T4R1]

Damn, I'm late for a Stability™ joke...

Translation:

"Further improvements to overall system piracy blocking and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance user game purchasing experience."

Not really. Not even that.

 

[Wizardkoer]

Stability intensifies

 

[daxtsu]

It's confirmed! Luma/3DS CFWs in general/NTR CFW/everything else can support the newest 3DS V11.7.0-40!

Gotta keep the Sky3DS tradition alive.

 

[Kigiru]

Plot Twist - This update has some hidden expiration code that will make all 3DSes explode on the final date of 3DS's life. Later Nintendo will apologize for "accidentaly" burning people's consoles and give away 5% of discount for Switch to everyone that will bring burned 3DS to one of the whopping 3 Nintendo Shops.

 

[pilladoll]

Thanks for the advise, guys!

Well shit. I just hacked one and now I gotta update it. Whatever.

Blanks out most of the Nintendo Zone hotspots in accordance to the discontinuation of the Streetpass Relay and updates the Privacy Policy.

In other words, absolutely nothing was changed. Carry on.

Thanks for sharing, I didn't even think of the Nintendo Zone thing since I stopped using spillpass on my raspberry pi like a month ago when it stopped working and had forgotten about it. I thought updating so many titles for a privacy policy update seemed excessive, makes more sense now.

Surprised they haven't removed the Miiverse icon yet. On the plus side, the foundation of my house was shifting recently and I was worried that I'd have to shell out a lot of money for repairs. Turns out all I had to do was dig down underneath and slide an 11.7.0-40 3DS down there. Presto! Maximum stability!
