Homebrew Browserhax is STILL WORKING

[Seita]

Maybe this works only for N3DS? Tried this at my spare 2DS with no luck.
Seeing the posts here, looks like only N3DS users were successful though...

Probably because n3ds boots way faster giving nintendo little chance to do the trick.
Trying booting your 2ds with internet off. Pull the Switch on after it boots and immediately launch the browser

you just take my test and my idé poste lol you can say me thx =_=

Are you sure?
I really couldn't understand a word of what you said. But if this is your work, then the credit goes to you. I don't need attention, I just wanna help others.

The 2DS has no physical wifi switch. Probably by the time he'd enable it with the software switch in the menu, it'd not work. Let's let him try it though.

Doesn't work on my o3ds EUR 9.9 with browser ver. 1.7610 ...

Interesting. Perhaps people who have none-NEW models can find the fastest empty SD card they have, put it in the 3DS and hope it boots fast, probably have to do that on the 2nd try as the 3DS will put stuff on that empty SD card.

Hey, can you try changing the primary DNS to some random value ? (I want to test a theory) and tell me if it still works

Hey, tu peux essayer de changer l'adresse DNS primaire pour un autre truc au bol ? Je veux tester une théorie, dit moi si ça marche ^^

It might work, though I think it has to do with the 3ds speed itself, not the sdcard.

same here. I'm starting to worry that it already pseudo-installed this browser version without our knowledge and stubbed the browser from working the way it did before.

How do you check browser version? I'll check mine since it worked, but would prefer not to if it means I have to run the browser

Ok got my version. N3DS XL, browser : 1.3.10126, wasn't a dummy version from any new games as I haven't played a single new game in a year.

Still works fine after another attempt too. Does seem there is a bit of delay before it prompts the "System update", so much so I can hammer the settings button and it won't trigger the update message until after.

Still asking to update

I noticed a lot of worry about browserhax being blocked. It's partly true BUT, there is away to make it work.
I am running an n3dsxl 9.9 and here is what I found with some experiments.
If I load the browser AFTER,say, 20 or so (after booting my n3ds) it gives me the update message.
What I did is to put primary at 107.211.140.165 and secondary dns at 107.211.140.065.
Boot the browser as soons as your 3ds starts. VERY IMPORTANT.
There you go. Your browserhax should work.
I hope this helps.

One more thing to note, this will not help those who have updated to 9.9 or higher with a retail gamecard. They now include dummy browsers which intentionally brick the browser until you update via internet.

But did you get it to work with his method ? I need someone who got it to work with his method to try with a random DNS

No It doesn't work with me

 

[hacksn5s4]

it loads fine but as soon as i put url in it says update

so, to clarify, I had 10.1.0-27 O3DS when I got the TriForce Heros Special demo. Would that mean I now have the dummy browser version as well?

No. Only retail carts/cards with 9.9 and higher come with it. I could be wrong, but I don't think anything off the eShop even comes with system updates, because they can assume you're on the latest firmware in the first place.

You are right, no software from eshop contains updates since you need to be on latest version to access eshop in the first place (or so they thought)

 

[hacksn5s4]

maybe you could block it so it does not tell the 3ds it needs to update to use the browser like web trafic blocking

Nope, no luck either. Thanks for your suggestion anyway!

Well, I have a friend with a retail version of OoT, and I have the hax method in my 3DS XL through IronHax...
Guess with these two, I can install OoTHax into their retail OoT, then use on my 2DS to launch HBL and install ThemeHax.

That's not an option. The browser uses HTTPS to communicate with Nintendo when it calls that URL, so man-in-the-middle attacks won't work. Blocking it outright before getting the message in the first place is the only prevention method right now. This thread is merely a workaround.
