Hardware nand flash dump (3ds xl)

[misterb98]

why not just do the locking of locking functionality on the nand so that no gateway bricking is possible ? ( the one gateway firmware 2.0b2 uses ) instead of needing such a device, do that immunization process once and gateway bricks should no longer be possible.

Because I forgot that was possible.

In other news, someone should make a launcher.dat that does this process through software. GW can brick it through software, so lets immunize though software!

Edit: That is, if homebrew has gotten that far yet.

Yes, that´s what we should go for... but we only have knowledge for the usermode exploit stage by now. We´ll need to wait or reverse the rest of gateway´s launcher.dat to gain kernelmode execution, which, if I am not mistaken, is needed to be able to access nand mmio at 0x10006000...

Does anyone know of an OSX option for win32 disk manager?

 

[gamesquest1]

theres one on the gateway downloads page i think

Are we thinking of the same thing? I am wanting to dump/write to band.

i believe it works the same as win32disk imager but for mac....but im not sure, its intended for writing roms to the micro SD

should be able to use this too

I had such a misconception on the whole exploit(s) things ! forget about what I said about not having kernelmode, we do have kernelmode I think such a homebrew ( that writes lock locking bit to nand ) is not very difficult to do, we only need to figure out nand mmio registers and their behaviour at 0x10006000.

Hi, guys. I'm writting to let you know where you could find some pogo pins at Ebay. Here are some stores:

http://stores.ebay.com/id=398608122?ssPageName=STRK:MEFSXS:MESST&_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2653

Remind that the pogo pins should have at most 7mm length!

If you didn't find there, try to search using these words: 7mm Length Round Tipped Spring Test Probes Pins

Just tried what they had... unless I simply don't know what the heck I am doing, it doesn't allow dumping of NAND (which I also need)

EDIT: But the linked program worked wonderfully. THANKS!

I'm using dd, a command line utility.

no problem, glad you got it sorted

I upgraded my 1st step to accommodate both nand flashing and unbricking, i didn't solder the pogopins in place yet, but they touch exactly on all the correct pads, including the dat3 pad.

The little board with the pogo pins is also easy to place because its right edge is touching alongside/adjacent/contiguous with the shell of the analog stick.

The pre-drilled holes are 2.54mm apart which is a bit much for the 3 side by side pads, which are just shy of 2mm apart, since the holes have to be widened anyway, i just drilled them a tad closer.

Uhh, good job with those pogopins, looks like its posible to make an unbricker device then

And it's cool that there's an open area just there on the 3ds shell, i can close the 3ds case completely with that pogo pin board inside, those pogo pins full length are 8.6mm when extended and 7mm when full in.

Doing that square cut with more care it would even fix the board in place very securely cause there's a plastic square piece on the 3ds shell that fits there.

 

[gamesquest1]

cool but are those pins stable? they look a little wonky, they might be nuged off the pads when the case is closed.
nice work though

 

[Elusivo]

lol it's not finished, i didn't solder them to the board yet, after i solder them they won't budge and will sit exactly on all the pads.

This board has some metal part to solder?

I bought some but i don't know if it has.

I also got some 7mm pogopins i hope it fix right in the place.

Yes, you solder the base of the pogpins to those metal circles on that board.

What exactly is keeping the pogo board in place? Nothing right now?

He said that he is only testing how it fits inside the console right now... if it doesnt fits and he soldered it, then he has to desolder them and solder different ones... why do that extra work
