Homebrew [INFO] SNShax, what it is and how it works

[DarknessMonk]

Same way Sysupdater works now download a complete 9.2.0-20 pack from the usual place put it all in the updates folder on the root of the sd card and click downgrade

Thanks, never used sysUpdater.

We are not supposed to use sysUpdater, am:u takes care of uninstalling and installing

I'm just injecting the new AM:u handle into ctrulib. You don't even have to modify sysUpdater for it to work.

Sysupdater will still be used though.

sysupdater uses am:u to uninstall all of the old CIA files and install the new ones automatically

You can't. It's not released still.

You can't yet wait till snshax or memchunkhax2 is done

 

[Hammyface]

So with snshax I will be able to take an n3ds that's on 9.8, downgrade it to 9.2, and have full access the same way I have full access on my n3ds XL with its launch 9.0 firmware?

 

[JustPingo]

Yes.

 

[peteruk]

but restricted to 9.5 emuNAND, some are saying yes and some no

On n3ds yea unless we can crack the encryption

Some are suggesting in the keys thread that the community have the keys, yet some in the "Clarification Thread" are adamant we cannot

 

[sl0ps]

Yes.

Best of luck on that ROP chain. That's always a fun puzzle.

Well I'm PRETTY sure (again not 100%) that arm9loaderhax gets execution before the keys are cleared, we can get KeyY, we already have the AES constant, we can flip the bits in KeyY to get KeyX once we have KeyX we can find the normalkey and we can crack the encryption... Did I miss anything?

 

[sl0ps]

What they are suggesting isn't in reference to the common signing keys that were discovered in the S0ny stuff. Wasn't that only in reference to the NFC stuff?

I'm not entirely sure but I don't think we have any way to crack emunand without working on every console individually.

 

[dark_samus3]

I'm not entirely sure but I don't think we have any way to crack emunand without working on every console individually.

That is wrong, the keys are common on each console (emuNAND wouldn't have been possible on any console if they weren't) same goes for 9.6+ on n3ds

Updated OP with a news section... @JustPingo check it out, if you want I'll take the testers part down

Sorry if this was already explained, but with a firmware downgrade like this would it act like a normal update where the user's files such as Miis are preserved, or is it more like a system restore whereby after installing the older firmware the console is set up like new?

Not sure, miis will probably be kept, other things might not, it's hard to tell
