Hacking Why should I not update to 7.2?

[Zetta_x]

Schrodinger's Cat is nothing to be afraid of. You just need to have enough patience to wait until we know for certain. The last statement from Gateway about it seemed more hopeful than doubtful, as this is something that Gateway has know about since Youtube was updated to 7.X encryption. They'll figure this out or else their product will be losing utility as each new 7.X game comes out.

Above all else, you just have to Bolieve! (bad wrestling joke, I know...)

Actually it's been confirmed that the new 7.2 Nintendo firmware has found a GW exploit that instead of using the format nand to brick the console they format the nand to the current EmuNand (7.2). Nintendo 7.2 also attempts to trigger the brick routine and inject the code to format to 7.2 nand.

I know that E-Shop does not work. The only reason I would like to update is so I can use the internet browser. When I attempt to use it on emuNAND 4.4 the message pops up "The internet browser will become available once you update your system via the internet". Isn't the latest emunand necessary for some games like pokemon aswell? I'm sorry, I am still quite new at this and after going through dozens of threads, FAQs and other tutorials I'm still pretty scared not to mess anything up.

Naw, strangely enough, the unimportant things (aside from Eshop) require the latest firmware. To play online, however, the games don't. You just need the 1.2 pokemon patch that's all haha!

Can you repeat it clearer wording?

See the white text in the quote box? Zetta was telling a bold-faced lie to attempt to troll people. Sounds about par for the course here...

No, I just didn't understand what he was saying haha! It's like taking a sentence and jumbling up the words in an erroneous manner.

I think the point is that until Gateway decap and reverse the encryption chip (which may be part of the CPU, I'm not sure honestly), they can't future-proof their product at all. If you have the base keys and algorithms, you can usually break the complete encryption chain, besides the private keys. As a result, they should be able to decrypt all future firmwares after they figure it out, much like what finding the bootloader keys on the PS3 allowed for.
