Homebrew safefirmraunchhax - new Arm9 exploit discussion

[dkabot]

Isn't SAFE_FIRM what system settings launches to? Just curious :3

To my knowledge, it's what launches when you do the boot combo to the emergency system update mode, either to fix an otherwise-brick or to clear update data.
According to an old thread, it may also be used for DS Profile Settings, but I don't know anything on that front.

I'm guessing this is what Zoogie was hinting for. We're probably gonna use this to get sighax tbh. But you can also "access" sighax things from arm11 in some way so. We'll see tho.

Sounds right, considering the wiki says it's known by everyone =P
Wonder why it was added there.

Because it's an exploit, and that's the page to report exploits. :^ )

Oh boy, I wonder how much this would get on the Bug Bounty page...

They don't accept public exploits.

Someone intelligent explain to my dumb mind.

What will this do? ( And will it help me get CFW? )

 

[Giodude]

interesting. I have a few friends who want to dsiware downgrade, but that might not be necessary....

You know why everyone needs to downgrade to 9.2? It has ARM9 access. This gives us ARM9 access. Meaning, anything doable with a downgrade is doable on latest firmware, once someone decides to implement it for the public.

It's "true" but it isn't ready for use.

so if i'm getting this right now then with this if some one is on 11.2.35 can downgrade to the 2.1 to install the arm9loaderhax then upgrade back to 11.2

No need to downgrade. Can install CFW straight on 11.2.

EDIT: Never mind, I think I'm wrong.

not even. If sighax is implemented,somebody could install a9lh right then and there, or even a signed cfw that doesn't need a9lh.

EDIT:ninjhax'd

but i did not think sighax was even going to be put out at all.

that's why the *if* is there

 

[leerpsp]

so then for the most part what can i do with this on 11.2....

 

[sixtails]

I could be wrong here as I have not reviewed firmlaunch-hax implementations much, but I believe MiniPasta (or just Brahma) gives us a very good starting point, as most of it is already implemented. What would need to be done is: (1) Swap in fasthax, (2) modify firm_reboot() as needed (sync, SAFE_FIRM launch), (3) replace payload... I think thats it?

Assuming we're installing A9LH, yes, you'd go straight to a NAND backup/2.1 Ctrtransfer.
