Homebrew Update 11.3 and homebrew

[Dracari]

thats a bit mean, especially to devs. no program deserves to stay dead .
plus again, it was the very first cfw that started it all

yes teh fact its been abandoned, yet people who are backwards and stuck in thier ways cling to it like its still the golden god CFW, it does nothing but cause issues and flood teh forums with both hater threads and "how can i use XXX with rxTools!? " "ohh no XXX Update broke it.. how can i downgrade to use rxtools?/how can i make XXX firmware work with it?"

LMFAO you would think by now EVERYONE Would have gotten passed RX/emunand phase

but just in case im not saying its the greatest thing since toilet paper, im just saying it was a pretty great innovation..... at the time.

but open source means it wont exactly stay dead until 3ds dies.

To be honest - that's more the user's fault than RxTools'.

If they're stupid enough to cling onto a dead CFW, with little to no support (when the move to Luma is stupidly easy and painfree), then in those cases it would be best to just point them in the right direction (RxTools to Luma conversion guide) and lock the thread.

If they're not computer literate enough to understand when software reaches EoL (end of life) it's time to move on, then anything which follows is their own fault and they've got to accept that if they want help, they've got to move onto a newer CFW.

They were warned when Sun/Moon broke RxTools so they've had time to jump ship and move elsewhere, but if they're stubborn enough to stick by a sinking ship - then anything which follows is their own doing and they're on their own fixing it.

Soundhax still works.
NTR needs to be updated.
HBL CIA payloads need to be updated.

I use soundhax to access my homebrew. Are you 100% sure it still works? I won't update until I have full conformation.

It WILL work, but on 11.3 it's broken until Smea releases the 11.3 payload.

its because they try to do the most backwater ways of keeping things working and refusal to update is whats holden em back they frankenfirm just to go online till it gets "Patched". while yes now they haveto move into an A9LHsetup for the ones who didnt update, and can no longer cling to half-arsed ways to making it work for the time being untill someone (eventually its going to happen,) patch it to work like Luma and not use hardcoded 9.2 nfirm, but to use the latest nfirm (but ohh no that means they haveto update and break thier precious saying "we use it because it works, dont fix what isnt broken !D: " )

Exploit works
Payload doesn't and the exploit used to get into homebrew itself (GSPwn) is patched

So you're saying it works but it doesn't work. I don't get it.

Oh dear lord, the payload is not available as of now, so for now it's not working. HOWEVER, the way soundhax itself works, has not been fixed. Nintendo just fixed a way to launch Homebrew Launcher.

On a side note, does anyone know if you can go online with FreeShop DLC? Or will it get deleted/get you banned?

OK so

Soundhax exploit still works

But they do something called GSPwn, which that basically let us get the homebrew launcher to appear in the screen, that has been patched.

And the payload used to get stuff to load GSPwn is outdated too.

So basically they have to:

• Find a way to bypass GSP/Find a new way to load Homebrew Launcher
• Update the payloads

Correct, see? Easy. They'll fix the GSP stuff in the payload I'm sure.

It's way more harder than that if I'm correct... Since the code it's hardcoded in the own NAND. (But who knows they might find a new way to bypass the patch)

For CFW users I expect a fix will be out fairly soon. Since Smea says that worst case it can be loaded via an arm11 kernel exploit that suggests that it should be possible to update the hbl cia and payloads to use good old svcbackdoor. Or just take the nuclear option and re-add/reimplement gspwn like they did with svcbackdoor. Homebrew for non-CFW users will probably take a bit longer, especially on o3ds.

I said "Easy" as in "it's easy for the end user to do" not "it's easy for smea to fix" trust me, I know it can be quite difficult. He's even admitted he's surprised by this update, he'll have it fixed as soon as he can, but it's no average incremental update.

 

[ExplodingMuffins]

So is it gonna be a while or not??

 

[Tenshi_Okami]

So is it gonna be a while or not??

For non CFW users, yes. Could be days. Could be years. Nobody knows

For CFW users, from days to weeks. But not more than that

 

[ExplodingMuffins]

Darn...

 

[drsalvador555]

I guess I fail to see why a user having CFW would affect the Homebrew Launcher. Clue me in on something I'm missing?

 

[ExplodingMuffins]

i guess ill just wait a bit

 

[TimX24968B]

I wonder if renaming the latest luma as rxtools and calling it the next rxtools update would fix those issues...
