Use HBL to install offline themehax, then download ropbin 2.5 and renamed after the ropbin generated by themehax. Replace the old ropbin with the new 2.4 ropbin. Back up your SD card. Save it on PC and cloud.

thank you, I was using the online installer and it didn't work, just used the correct offline nstaller and it worked perfectly

You have to give up themes if you want themehax permanently.

yeah.. sad, but I'll may be uninstall it every now and then if I know the other hax is still working and I want to check a theme, still I doubt I will need a theme if I know a hax is installed there.

now I need to figure out where to put this 2.5 payload

It is *not* dead, as long as you don't ever go online with the browser. If you block any access with your router, or setup a WLAN and serve static HTML pages using a proxy, everything will be fine. However, as long as you had this message once, you're screwed

Yeah, I just saw that post. Interesting.
So basically if the Tubehax DNS had blocked this I would be ok.
Well hopefully some way to fix the nag is figured out, but I guess I'm in the market for Cubic Ninja now.

Wtf Nintendo why not just patch, you know, the actual exploits used by these entrypoints and then the actual entrypoint? I'm not gonna complain but seriously, unless it's something they CAN'T patch then I don't really see the strategy

Apparently the exploit is on the hardware itself.

Well, yeah but you did ask "(anyone feel bold enough to try?)", so yeah, I confirm it, as long as the cdn is blocked you will not get the update message

But I got the "check network status" message and I still can't use the browser. I'll be out of this then, I don't have any of the exploitable games except Ironfall 1.0, and I don't have the Smash demo. I use a New 3DS XL with 10.1.0-27U.

And if you update to 9.9 via a gamecard, your browser is bricked until you internet update, lol.

yellows8:
Hence, if you update your system from pre-v9.9 using a gamecard with v9.9, the system web-browser will be rendered *completely* useless until you install a system-update from CDN(no network requests involved here).

Zoogie's case is slightly different. Gamecards coming with 9.9 and higher now intentionally brick your browser with a dummy (fake) one until you update via the Internet.
I realize this. I was just pointing out the possible issue in this thread incase someone on a lower firmware is also stuck unable to get browserhax working without explanation.

So is there absolutely NO way to fix this once you get the message? I shouldn't have left my 3ds on during maintenence... :/ I have the tubehax DNS, but I saw I got a spotpass notification and it was for the eshop. I immediately knew at that point I felt something was wrong so I checked the internet broswer and confirmed my fear. At this point it was my only entry point was browserhax and oothax, of which oothax was confirmed to not work with me since 2.5 so I was going to install themehax when this happened. :/

As far as we know, that's right (though a system reset hasn't been tested). I tweeted Smea to get him to add the new addresses to tubehax DNS' blocklist but I don't know if he did, seems to be offline.

Perhaps when people figure out how this is stored it can be fixed, but even then we'd probably need other homebrew to run the fix. (I still wonder if maybe the DNS could redirect to a different copy of the block list that would say the browser's ok? That'd take a bit of setup though.)
