Hacking SX Modchip firmware has been dumped

[masagrator]

I hope that there is way that I can DIY with an Arudino-compatible or like board.
More info about the STM32 chipset (but not GD32): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STM32
Which STM32/GD32 chip is used, specifcally? Where can I find more info about GD32?

GD32F350CBT6

I'm going to guess that based on the chipset model you gave out, that this is equivalent to the STM32 F3 series?

Dunno. I'm only sharing what I read. Didn't see any info to relation between this particular model and original.

This is like when they dumped the PS3 chip, you were then able to use much cheaper drives to load the exploit

? What drives
You could use a USB stick that would send a payload like a jig
After that it was found that the 3.55 / 3.56 firmware had a signing key fail.
After that you could downgrade via a tsop programmer
And were back to software solutions

I dont get the drives bit

You don't need rewrite modchip FW to run Atmosphere when it will have full compability with Mariko and Lite. You will be able to run Atmosphere via Hekate that you will be able to load via SX boot menu.

Sharing blueprints and any documentation explaining modchip execution process will be also illegal?

I think sharing the files to produce the PCB will be illegal but documentation probably isn't? Depends. Just relaying what someone from RS said. StuckPixel I believe but may be wrong on that.

oooooh even easier !!!! right ? ... so then it would only be needed to update hekate with the "drivers" (saw someone name them like that) for the patched and mariko so it can run ?

 

[susi91]

Thats fine
Blank chinese modchip clones incoming, for about 20 bucks or so... (hopefully)

Blueprints and documents will be fine as its still a devboard at the end of the day.
It will be sharing any executable code that bypasses copy protection or any proprietary code that you carnt share
Discuss and share printed code yes but nothing compiled ready to run

Yeah. I was updated now that Hekate code is already working on Mariko, but it will not be public until Atmosphere with Mariko support will be released. So drivers for Mariko are there already.

This sounds decent, making an open source alternative to tx modchips which people can make themself and doesn't require some overpriced license is very nice to hear!

 

[leerpsp]

Yeah. I was updated now that Hekate code is already working on Mariko, but it will not be public until Atmosphere with Mariko support will be released. So drivers for Mariko are there already.

So this will only be working with the modchip so no way this can be fixed to work with non modchip switchs like I have.

This is great news! i can boot hekate and atmosphere on my sx core when support arrives! no more filthy piracy centered cfw for me (and many others!)

 

[studio1b]

again this is great for the scene A+ to the people that always find this good stuff

 

[britain4]

Great news. I’m already running Atmosphere on my V1 with SX core but I’ll be happy the day someone releases a way of running Hekate from an SX Core chip without the need to use any of the dead SX software on it at all.

@Mena Asked me to post this. "This is a clone of the NAND flex and has a full pinout for the eMMC if you want to dump before installing anything" https://github.com/Pheeeeenom/Lite_NAND_Flex

 

[Mena]

Thanks friend

There is nothing to fix. This exploit requires external hardware.
This topic won't help at all in finding method without using modchip.

 

[shanefromoz]

Seems as though it was not cracked but rather the info released.
Why was it not cracked prior to all the latest news?

 

[shulkmad]

Developers don't want to touch this because it is nuclear radioactive and attracts big N ninjas

 

[Goku1992A]

So here is a good question lets just say they make a clone chip will it have the same functionality as SXOS and considering that SXOS status is unkown for the near future who is going to be updating the firmware?

I would stay away from a cheap clone and just get original
