Hacking Gateway 3.0 : "Ultra"

[Ritchie555]

Yes.

did you copy Launcher.dat to your 3DS INTERNAL SD Card?

I copied the DG file as instructed, the short tutorial here doesn't seem to mention that unless I am overlooking something here.

Not the .DG but launcher.dat

EDIT: launcher.dat is in the GW 3.0.1 zip file in downloads.

I've got it now.

Somebody should add that to this though:

SHORT TUTORIAL

0) PLUG IN YOUR SYSTEM
1) go to gateway site and select downloads
2) look for Downgrade file sets
3) download YOUR 3DS REGION (we have no confirmation of region changing)
4) place .DG file on your 3DS SD (the big one)
5) load gateway exploit through BROWSER menu
6) hold L as soon as bottom screen turns white
7) backup your sysNAND(this is forced and it MUST be on your SD card)
8) at Gateway menu scroll right to downgrade selection
9) follow on screen prompts
10) console will take a few moments to restart, do not panic!
The next few steps are required if you don't want to use the browser exploit
11) install the blue card exploit once downgrade is complete
12) no more wifi at startup!!!!
13) just go to settings/other settings/profile/DS profile to launch gateway now

Thank you!

Yes, that short tutorial needs to be headded "How to downgrade AFTER YOU HAVE a working GW exploit" because it's a part 2, not a part 1 tutorial.

 

[Ritchie555]

Also note, you should in future treat any prompts for a system update with the same caution you'd treat someone asking if they could throw your 3DS into a wood chipper.

Now to figure out my second hang up.

Got downgraded, back to 4.2, and ran the exploit from my blue card, but now when I put the gateway card in and go to "gateway" mode, by screen goes black and freezes.

Anyone with a clue?

So, is it possible to downgrade the 2DS?

"FORMAT EMUNAND"

WARNING: This will wipe your internal 3DS Card Run a NAND backup first and then copy the NAND.BIN to your PC.

So, is it possible to downgrade the 2DS?

Nope, not supported at this time. Probably because they never had a 4.5 firmware.

Quick question for the pros:
Is it possible to apply the .cia in this thread on sysNAND, then launch the Blue Card's exploit on 9.2, thereby making downgrading pointless? Or is the exploit only possible on 4.1-4.5 because of a firmware/SDK vulnerability?

Anyone?

"FORMAT EMUNAND"

WARNING: This will wipe your internal 3DS Card Run a NAND backup first and then copy the NAND.BIN to your PC.

Ah.

The SD card I had was formatted for my other 3DS and I was hoping I could save my save files and such and keep using them

Hoping I can just copy them then and move them back over after.

Here's hoping!

Will GW release ways to do exploit offline for 2DS and N3DS users

People have actually bought a 2DS?

fixed.

Shit they work fast, well beta that allows downgrade... let the brickfest begin!
how many people managed to brick their console before i noticed the update ?

 

[LegendaryFighter]

Nope, not supported at this time. Probably because they never had a 4.5 firmware.

Is this your opinion (assumtion) or has someone already tried to downgrade his/her 2DS?

Hey guys, just checked out the diagnostic test, and something's real wonky with my gateway.

It passed EVERY test with an OK!, but yet is still getting "filesystem error" SPECIFICALLY from my 16GB microSD.

Any more ideas on what could have caused this, aside from a faulty gateway?

Hmm. I'm having the same problem right now. Was all working fine before the update to 3.0.1. Decided to use my 64GB card from my phone while getting the new launcher.dat and it keeps failing at the SD test in diagnostics. Also getting the filesystem error when trying to load multirom. Went back to my other microsd and it's happening there too ._. Gonna try using the 3.0 launcher and see if that helps any.

They forgot to mention surprise ;/

I'm confused.. Everything I've read says the browser exploit doesn't work on N3DS because you need to be on the latest firmware to use the web browser. But I'm on 9.0 and my web browser works fine.. ?
