Homebrew SigHax Updates and Discussion Thread

[GerbilSoft]

That's not a brick though. You just have to copy the file to the SD.

I know, but there was at least one reported brick in this thread that turned out to be a missing boot.firm. (Probably others, but I'm not going to bother checking 60 pages of discussion for that.)

Hi Plailect, i updated my 3ds with your guide and homebrew launcher boots but when i try to run any of my homebrew it freezes the console, does anybody know how to fix this?

Device model / region / system version?

Device model / region / system version?

Oh, sorry. o3dsxl usa 11.4
The funny thing is i did 3 3ds systems and my xl is the only one with the problem.

You got your `boot.3dsx` from the starter.zip? Are you launching via hblauncher_loader?

 

[wicksand420]

where is the starter.zip, can you give me a link for it, yes i am using the hblauncher_loader
I do have an old version of boot.3dsx

Thanks, I'll try it out and let you know if it worked.

So, what IS the reason getting this over A9LH for an end user like myself? Cause from what I've gather, it's something devs can do? I'm just confused to why I need this.

future proofing. Literally impossible to patch.

Is that it? Doesn't seem like a reason to update now...to me at least.

Thanks man, it worked, your guides kick ass bro. Thanks again.

The vulnerability itself is impossible to patch, but that doesn't mean Nintendo can't work around FIRM write protection to reinstall the original FIRM.

Granted, it *is* easier to reinstall Sighax/Boot9Strap than A9LH if that happens.

That's a lot of work that don't think would be worth it.

It is percentage of chance that you'll die of asphyxia right this second. If you don't - I guess that 1% isn't actually that high of a chance, after all.

I guess it's also the percentage of me not receiving inane replies.

Might be. Though it mostly depends on posts that gets replied and have nothing to do with random chances overall.

Sorry for the delay everyone. So what updates are really needed for the OP?

 

[DominoBright]

Should the "a9lh to b9s" section include instructions for backing up NAND at the end of it? I would assume that's necessary to do.

If you originally set up a9lh and made NAND backup back there, you don't really need to have to do the same after you transfer to b9s, since all you do is simply move from one exploit to another, without much manipulations with firmware. But if you feel like making extra NAND backup - I believe it is possible via GodMod9(but I don't know how personally) or via Decrypt9(since d0k3 also released firm-support version of it) with your usual Luma chainloading.

In what is it superior to a9lh ?
i fell like a9lh is a safer thing
