The hack was found in '12 and the gateway came out shortly after that. As I stated before. Look at the python tools thread. Its only a matter of time before someone can code something that does the same job as the Gateway OS.
Gateway came out eleven month later. You call that short?

The python tools author also, like smea, based his initial work on Gateway launcher. This work is very recent.

I wouldn't hesitate to send it in if I had a brick from Gateway. There's no way the end user is going to be able to figure out how to repair it. It is literally just that, a brick, unless they can get it working for you again.
Here's a option instead of sending it to gateway. I'd purchase a 3ds motherboard (just seen a XL for $57 including shipping on ebay) And I would switch out the motherboard myself. It would either be hackable or not. But lesson learned either way. So the end user can fix it themselves if they choose to. btw you should be able to score one cheaper in a Auction

In the link justinkb provided to you, there's this part in red in the upper part of the page:
to long or corrupted strings (01Ah 2 Nickname length in characters 050h 2 Message length in characters) in the NVRAM DS user settings cause (System Settings/Other Settings/Profile/Nintendo DS Profile to crush) (this is still 3DS mode)
It's hard to understand, but there's the explanation of the basic functionality of the DS profile exploit GW's and everyone else is using.

I believe that's the user level exploit.

You "believe" this the exploit GW is using to push their homebrew? What if I tell you....nope, it's not it.

Did I read this right... did you actually just say this exploit which CLEARLY STATES: System Settings/Other Settings/Profile/Nintendo DS Profile is NOT what Gateway uses? Please tell me I'm wrong.

Actually yes it is pretty short. You forget that they need to hire factories to produce the carts, purchase parts, etc.

Actually you know what since it seems we're getting no where with this endless bickering I'll just end it on the note that no one but Gateway themselves know when the OS was made on their 11 month timeline.

Im pretty sure they are using the MSET hack based on what Smealum has said. I couldn't give you a 100% FOR SURE confirmation, but its fairly likely that is what they are using. Besides, im pretty sure someone found out about the MSET hack before gateway, there was a thread here a long while back about how the "crash" might be useful since it gave userland access. Plus, you may be able to talk to some of the people here on the forum who have looked at the code from Gateway and made their own tools using it.

I would like to know if they really were using something else, it would be interesting (im truly curious, im not trying to be sarcastic or anything like that).

Nope, I'm telling this line of text is not the exploit. It describe the error message they got.

I'm asking for the about details of the actual exploit. The one GW is using.

you're like an evolution denier, presented with massive amount of evidence for it, but still insisting it's not true. welcome to my ignore list.

I don't even know what to say to this... it's so stupid I don't even...

If this isn't the exploit they use then explain why you have to go to System Settings/Other Settings/Profile/Nintendo DS Profile to launch Gateway... why did Nintendo patch this if it isn't used for anything... what error message, it's a CRASH...

Hmm ok, so GW and 3dbrew both messed around in "System Settings/Other Settings/Profile/Nintendo DS Profile" if I understand you correctly.....and? It doesn't mean it's the same exploit. It doesn't explain how the exploit work. Accessing the file system of a device give me nothing.

I'm going to take a WILD guess and say it either makes this string in the NVRAM DS user settings too long or corrupt.
