Hacking 11.0.0-33 : The Aftermath

[astronautlevel]

FBI releases 4/12, 4/12, 4/13, 4/14, 4/15, 4/17, 4/22, 4/24, 4/29, 4/30, ver 11.0 5/9
Decrypt9 4/1, 4/2, 4/2, 4/4, 4/12, 4/28, 5/4 ver 11.0 5/9
BootAnim9 3/24, 3/24, 3/25/, 3/25, 3/27, 4/9, 4/24 ver 11.0 5/9
GodMode9 3/23, 4/13, 5/1, ver 11.0 5/9

That's ignoring Luma. Nintendo dealt the demoralizing body blow to the dev community!

11.0 didn't deal a demoralizing blow to the devs. Anyone who was developing major projects was already on CFW with a9lh so 11.0 almost 0%.

Well, hopefully you're right, and everyone finished all of their projects and perfected the software around the end of April/beginning of May just by coincidence.

In any case, I'm mostly kidding.

So it will ALWAYS be impossible to get homebrew and downgrade on 11.0?

Lol, jeeze man, nobody knows, unless you've got an arm9 exploit hidden away you feel like releasing.

Just let me check my time machine...

Hi will the sky3ds card still work on firmware 11.0.0

It works just fine, you'll still need to get a private header to play online though.

A quick google search suggests that it can, but maybe wait until you can get confirmation from someone here before you update.

Edit: Ninja'd

I heard you can downgrade on 11v via hardmod?

Of course.

 

[astronautlevel]

Of course.

It's not really "Of course," by all rights Nintendo should have patched it by updating the minor revision number of the kernel in 11.0 (2.50 => 2.51). Given that hardmod downgrading only downgrades NFIRM and not other apps, so if the home menu, errdisp, or other essential applications are checking for a minor revision higher than the current one it'll refuse to launch. This didn't happen this time because Nintendo didn't upgrade anything essential, but as soon as any essential application is upgraded not only will hardmod downgrading no longer work but any CFW that uses an older nfirm (rxTools, reiNAND, Gateway) will need to upgrade.

I just meant that it has been confirmed to be possible.

You could sell your flashcard, get A9LH+Luma and enjoy free, open source software without embedded brick code.
A Gatewait this late in the game seems pointless. Might as well sell it and get a 256GB SD card, but it's not like there's 256GB of good 3DS games anyway.

Well, I purchased Gateway before any CFW existed. I have no reason to switch, because everything I tried works. Tne only reason to switch would be to sell the card. But one would buy it.

 

[nicola gemmell]

Hi thanks for the help there how do I go about getting getting that. Don't think she would play online online anyway but just in case

 

[Critichart]

Ok so i just updated my 3DS via System Settings and... looks like everything worked well as expected i'm 11.0.33 or something... I use my emuNAND and it works as usual, now i'm able to access the friend list and Miiverse again n___n/ (my sysNAND is still at 9.2).

Hi everyone. I'm sorry if this has been resolved before but i have an issue.
I partially hacked my OLD 3DS a few months ago and wanted to permahax it so i followed the Pailect guide from where i stopped before and succeeded in permahacking my 3DS. My problem is that FBI inject does not work. I've tried many different versions of FBI but they all crash after I inject them. sysnand is 11.0.0-33 USA. Can someone help me?

If you followed the guide, you were supposed to inject FBI into your 9.2 RedNAND before you downgrade to 2.1 and grab your OTP. And you should always use the version of FBI the guide suggests.

If you followed the guide and set up A9LH, you should be able to access Decrypt9, which you may be able to use to inject FBI into Health&Safety via A9LH, but I'm not sure if that'll work.

 

[Urbanshadow]

As of right now the best answer I can give is who knows. An arm9 exploit would let us downgrade and would be useful if the 9.2 exploit is more stable. Also, there may be a workaround allowing for arm11 downgrading.

That aside, hardmod downgrading is still an option on 11.0

I can answer part of that. The best answer you can give is "no for the moment".

There are three hurdles to jump before a downgrade is possible:
1) Homebrew can be run. Any kind. (We have this already! yay!)
2) We can somehow, get ARM11K permissions. (Technically memchunkhax still works. "Just" needs a huge sinchronization effort.)
3) We can somehow bypass the min version firm list. One way is overwritting the list, but that needs ARM9 and would be broken by an update. (if they patch an ARM9 hole and update the list in the same update we are as fucked as we are now.) Another way is finding a way to change the list address or the list read miss. (into a region of zeros, or a controlled fcram region where we could with gspwn write our own list) There could be more in there but probably none will work.

Some time ago, we only had the two first hurdles and it took some time to break.

Thank you for your reply. I followed the guide properly and injected FBI into RedNAND before downgrading to 2.1. Once i updated to 11.0.0-33, the H&S app had no banner and crashed upon being opened. I've been trying to inject FBI into h&s and the process has succeeded but it crashes upon being opened.

Thank you again for your help. I've resolved this issue by using an older FBI_inject and this worked.

No problem. Sorry for not being more helpful; it's a weird thing to happen, and it should've worked using the versions the guide recommends. But, I'm glad to see it worked out.
