Nintendo 3DS gets a new firmware update for version 11.14.0-46

dims.jpg

2020 hasn't been the most stable year, but at least Nintendo is hard at work making sure that above all else, the Nintendo 3DS is the most stable thing in your life during these trying times. The system has just received a brand new firmware update, the first of 2020, to be exact, bringing the revision number to 11.14.0-46. Currently, the yls8 page shows us that a few changes were made regarding the web browser, NATIVE_FIRM, and more. The official changelog from Nintendo says the oh so popular phrase you've come to love:
  • Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.
Considering the random nature of this update, and the first few initial claims of those that took the plunge already, you might want to hold off on updating for right now, if you value having homebrew on your console. Reports state that Luma3DS is crashing, and that BrowserHax has been patched.

Yes, newly released luma is working for already CFW 3DS. I had only an error to my N3DS and cannot run twilight menu++ but I can't remember if it was due to my twilight installation or broke due to update.

Anyway, first update luma and then update 3DS to make your life stable.

If you updated 3DS then download luma from the git repository, extract content from the zip file, rename your old boot.firm to boot.firm.bck or any other name to make a backup, just in case in, in your SD card and place boot.firm from extracted files. Then update your 3DS.

P.S.: Get a nand backup if you want to be 100% safe.

no fix yet? my god.... CFW user's are going take it hard for a while.
What led you to that conclusion? The fix was available within hours of the update.

Everyone with a userland exploit should install CFW because it protects your homebrew access
Even in the practically-unthinkable event that Nintendo should suddenly decide now is the time to patch all the userland exploits have been around for years, and patch all the non-userland exploits that are still usable for CFW installation, there's always ntrboot. But most people are already much more interested in using TWiLight Menu, NSUI, blacklisted flashcarts, LayeredFS, region-blocked software, CIAs, and all the other stuff you can't do with userland homebrew anyway.

and even if Luma3DS is temporarily broken, then you can still boot Original Firmware and possibly have access to homebrew.
Have you forgotten all the intense discussion about why booting original firmware is problematic?

I can confirm, from what little I did as a test, cia games work, homebrew launcher works (heard ntr doesn't work, but I didn't test it). I made a backup of my nand before updating as well in case I find out something is broken. I did use the luma updater. I checked without a micro sd card as well. everything that I tested works. :)

Expecting a fix in Luma within the next 24 hours lol
When you posted this, the update was already released a day before.

I don't know what luma did before the fix, but I encountered no problems with 10.2.1. the updater will find it, and it will also update the ctrNAND, which I did test as well. you can even use godmode for ctrNAND (think it's a script or a feature from what I remember, so there's no need to add it manually like you used to have to do).

afaik, b9s can't be patched. they can throw hurdles in the way, but there's not really anything nintendo can do about it. I guess they're just patching loopholes to make its installation easier. compare this to the 200+ steps of a9lh, which had a high brick risk if you did the wrong thing or installed the wrong firmware.

I know this is a weird question but could anybody possibly dump the update cia for me. Im having trouble with the 3ds starting the update and then giving me an error and I read some ware that you can use sysupdater but you need an update cia for that.

We wouldn't be able to post it here either since it's copyrighted, but you can download it yourself with 3DNUS
