Hacking Updating 3ds and Exploits

[midnight1001]

Ok so this might seem like a stupid question and I'm sure it's been asked before... but it's been bothering me for a while now...
So the miiverse update for 3ds has just been released v 7 and my 3ds is currently using system firmware v6...
My question is this is there any point staying on version 6 or should I just go ahead and update?? I know exploits for gateway were patched but are there any potential hacks for v6 or is there a better chance that 6 will be hacked first? (Such as the hack we were shown earlier in the month by smealums)
I just don't want to update like I did before only to loose ability to use exploits like what happened with gateway for many of us...
Thoughts anyone? Much appreciated!

Update the exploit was patched after 4.5

When a new exploit is found it would probably be found on the newest firmware. What's the point in looking for an exploit in like 5.0 right now? Everyone will be trying on 7.0.

 

[fatcat1413]

By the time a 7.0 exploit surfaces (If there ever will be one) Nintendo will come with a 7.x fw or 8.0 fw to patch the exploit making it useless for people who already updated to that firmware, then the same thing will continue happening in a cycle

1. Backup your NAND (system 6.3) with a hardware mod.
2. Update your NAND to the latest system version.
3. ???
4. PROFIT!!!

Crap I'm updating my 3DS right now, cuz I want Bravely Default, anyways I decided to update before I quit reading topics. Did that screw me over in anyway?

6.3.0 still has a Arm11 MSET exploit avilable

4.5.0 had Arm9 & Arm11 MSET exploit

the Arm11 exploit was patched in 7.0.0

from what i read if you update to 7.0+ you can't play sdk 5.0 games that includes bravely default.

 

[n1ghty]

We don't know if someone finds a new exploit in 5.X and up. And if there is an usable exploit, it could be only for system version 5.1, 6.3 or the latest.
So updating to the newest firmwares not that bad. By staying on a lower firmware (or having a backup of one) you just have better chances for an exploitable firmware because you can then update to the exploitable one.

is the ds profile exploit patched yet in fw 7?

 

[Swing]

letsee I haven't updated it for months. I should have looked at the FW version but do you think it wouldn't have made a difference if I had FW from say... Summer/Fallish?

 

[profi200]

the Arm11 exploit was patched in 7.0.0

Tested? Can't test it currently, because my DS2 is blocked.

Btw: It's a vuln

DS Settings now boots SAFE_FIRM instead of NATIVE_FIRM now

If your last firmware was 4.5 or below then you could have been able to use a Gateway flashcard

goddammit lol

Oh well, maybe Nintendo didn't check over their firmware and left out some exploits that weren't patched yet :/

Hey guys since you're here I posted a topic in the Games section of the 3DS forum about getting BD, do ya think you could check it out and help a brotha out?

What do you mean exactly? Crash or not? If it doesn't crash after installing and running the DS profile at all, mset haxx is fixed.

€:
If you meant, it boots profile settings in DS mode now, no it does not. Still runs in 3DS mode.
