Switch TrustZoneHax on 4.x

nintendo-switch-15-1-630x354.jpg

​
The ReSwitched Hacking Team have done it again. motezazer, ktemkin and SciresM have achieved code execution on 4.1.0, the latest version at the time of writing this, via deja vu at TrustZone level. This means devices on 4.1.0 and below will be able to gain access to the whole system. SciresM strongly advises to not update in the future.

After less than a year, the Switch hacking team has moved extremely fast and now have got full access on the latest version. The progress being made is incredible, and in comparison, the 3DS took around 2 years to get ARM9 access. The scene is looking very promising so far and we are very lucky to have such talented people working on the Switch.

Yeah ok cool good job but again no release...
Not hyped anymore tbh until I have something in my hands. Also because I'm on 2.3... Let's hope this cfw comes soon.

Btw TX better start moving their asses if they don't want to lose their business before it starts.

Honestly should not expect a release until Deja Vu is fixed. As it's still exploitable on latest os, no reason to release. Also need the tools in place for custom content and a cfw (which i believe ScriesM is working on)

That's great news, although now that fail0verflow has shown off a coldboot exploit that works on every FW and is unpatchable, does it really matter?

I believe it does because we don't know if the releases by F0F and TX are legit or not. F0F, as everyone knows, is known for not releasing their work, and TX has, of course, not released in the past either. So until someone drops something, everything is in the air and everything matters.

So I'm on 4.x (whatever the minimum to load Mario oddessey is) . Should I update to whatever the latest firmware is and sit tight or just stay on whichever lower 4.x I'm currently on?

Great news, thanks!

My 4.1.0 Switch just said goodbye to internets just in case. This is the moment I've been waiting for.

Yeah, this sounds great, but do you think the custom firmware be hard to install? Do you think it's going to be for the end-user that just wants to play emulators and stuff? Or do you think this'll be taken the extra mile?

Also it's saddened me to hear that CFW for the Switch might come faster than the DSi's.

Stay in 4.1.0, dude.
And to be sure, disable internet connections altogether from the console as well.
Unless you play online, then go for the DNS route, but if you don't, better to have the console offline at all times.

A good PoC for what we knew was already possible, was a matter of finding a way around the memory controller so now we know its possible!

But... waiting around on 4.x is going to be a... while. Probably a long while.

You're still better off finding a 3.0.0, or ideally lower.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
