Hacking Official [Release] CakesFW

[pbanj]

emuNAND yes, sysNAND no.

It's got 136 in the filename.

The reason it only supports o3DS 9.0, is because that's the only firmware that's had the offset for the patch added so far.

facepalm lol. the worst part is i even downloaded it

And the offset changes for every updates ? Because if that's the case, how AuReiNAND manages it ?

@Reisyukaku implemented a Smart Patching feature to ReiNAND that allows it to automatically locate and adapt to offset changes.

AuReiNAND being a modification of ReiNAND also has this feature.

Mid-kid is there any hope to get an upgrade in the patches system? I'm up to something. We can discuss it in Cakey if you want.

There's a new patch system coming soon

I missed the conv in cakey. It should help with the hook. Cool.

OMG it's beautiful! That should shorten the process by a big chunk.

Latest commit added support for every firm version that Cakes supports, although I'm still not 100% sure how tested it is.

o3ds is 100% tested for 9.0, 9.6 and 10.4 firms, I tested all of them before the commit was issued... b1l1s said he'd get Shadowtrance to test the others

Here it is, if you can't wait. Though if you're using a n3DS, might want to wait for it to be tested and confirmed working first.

Thanks, but I'm not that impatient

I'll wait for the nightly (I guess it should come soon) and few reports from users before trying to update using it (even if I don't really need to update right now).

@mid-kid
Is it possible to include a seperate arm9loaderhax.bin in a zip for CakesFW, like ReiNAND does?

[EDIT]

Either build it yourself and use main.bin under the build directory, or open Cakes.dat in a hex editor and copy 0x12000 onwards into a new file and save as arm9loaderhax.bin.

So by taking the main.bin and rename it arm9loaderhax.bin, that should be enough to boot CakesFW A9LH?

One page back there's a build with arm9hax.bin in it

 

[Fsm51]

I'm trying to run "arm9loaderhax.bin" but it always says "Failed to decrypt the CETK" and stops.
How can I fix this?

do u have the proper cetk file in your cakes folder ?

Yes. I got them from the URLs in at the bottom of the first post and rename them properly.

cakes cant decrypt when running from a9lh. you'll need the firmkey.bin file from somewhere. you can use the cakes cia floating around somewhere in your 9.2 nand to boot it and get it set up.

Thank you! Now it's working
