Hacking TrustZoneHax on 3.x and below

[asialsky]

"Start".

Nintendo has been mitigating at every turn, often times very thoroughly. Notice how 4.x is already limited, 5.x is only going to get worse.

For the nth time: Nintendo's software has been rock solid almost at every turn, we've been exploiting nVidia's backdoors and memes... but Nintendo is fixing those too.

The Switch's code is regularly seeing internal audits and testing, they are on top of this and they're locking it down with increasing firmware.

On the upside? Nintendo has a finite number of e-fuses to burn. Find enough exploits, and any further FWs would have the same number burned.

Assuming you could get them to make enough new FW revisions, that is.

You have a long way to go, and the rate of exploits isn't going to remain as fast as current.

Never say never. After all, Nintendo wants the Switch to be more "stable" than the 3DS, which is probably going to take at least another dozen version numbers and some duct tape.

Side note: Could gou imagine the PR hit nintendo would take if they admitted the stability thing was a B.S. cover for fighting piracy?

When the news about TrustZone being hacked on 2.x hit, I wasn't surprised at all. But now that it's confirmed working on 3.x, it's making me start regretting updating to the latest firmware. I could have stayed on 3.0.1 and still been able to play Super Mario Odyssey, but I honestly didn't expect higher firmwares to be blown wide open so quickly, and I wanted to download something from the eShop.
Well, there's still no telling if/when any of this will be released, so I don't mind waiting a while longer.

What are you talking about? The Switch is already fully hacked from coldboot (TX, f0f) and Nintendo nor Nvidia can't do anything to mitigate it. There's no space in ipatches to fix this.
These toy exploits from the Reswitched team are fun and entertaining, but the TX big boys are going to own this Switch scene.

I almost made the same mistake today. Wanted to get a few digital games, but I am lucky to have consulted myself on gbatemp before doing so.

Interesting that you know that everyone, including me, will buy the HW mod from TX... Didn't know that I changed my mind. Thanks for pointing it out.

Stop this "TX is the only savior" bs please

Didn't say that. But you'll turn around once you notice that resistance is futile. Coldboot master race!

I'd love to see something from TX, but so far all they did was a tease.

Meanwhile, ReSwitched made a homebrew launcher and claim to have trustzone access up to 3.x

My trust is in team reswitched.

Understandable. But I have a good source that says it's real and working, and it is really coming.

These softmods from the ReSwitched team and hardmod from TX, both solutions can co-exist. Atleast initially. When the Switch firmware keeps getting updated though, the only working solution standing will be a hardmod and ultimately users will flock to that. I bet even ReSwitched might make a CFW for the TX hardmod.

cool, so now I don't feel so bad about updating from 2.3.0 to 3.0.0

TX is working to give us a hardware exploit that allegedly works on all current FW. Reswitched is using an exploit that's been publicly available for some time now and it's tied to 3.0.0 and below currently... Thus they've had more time to develop said homebrew launcher. Your logic is flawed.

Can you use your “source” to tell us more about what the solution entails?

 

[yardie]

even if softmod comes out ill buy whatever tx releases

What's the point

 

[yardie]

What's the point

because i like hacking my systems
its a hobby for me

That theory is only half right, if right at all. Those that are already on 3.x and under will have no need for a hardmod, regardless of updates.

I'm 2.3 now ,but I really tempted to update to play Mario odissey. I already bought it but wait to play it D:
What you guys suggest ?

Don't update.
