Oder so, aber das wird sehr unwahrscheinlich sein, da Nintendo bei dieser Version SEHR darauf geachtet hat den Hackern einen Strich durch die Rechnung zu ziehen :/
Dies taten sie auch schon in früheren Versionen^^
Vor einiger Zeit wurde gesagt, dass man keine Firmware über 4.5 hacken kann. Dann gab es einen Exploit, der es ermöglichte.
Das Gleiche sagte man auch über Firmware 9.2.
Einfach schauen, was die Zeit bringt ;)

When did this become a german thread?
Hackers always win. NOTHING is 100% safe. For every existing software there is someone who can exploit it.
(I mean even notable Antivirus software was exploited before...)

Ja, aber diese Versionen hatten keinen NAND-check der geprüft hat, ob auch alle Systemtitel so sind, wie sie sein sollen. Solange dieser check da ist, KANN man nicht downgraden, also brauch man entweder einen direkten ARM9 Zugriff, oder einen Hardmod, denn ab jetzt wird uns kein ARM11 Zugriff auf dieser Welt mehr ein Downgrade ermöglichen.

Sorry, I was also surprised when Dungeon Crawler started speaking german, but when you can speak german natively, and get the opportunity to talk with more details, why not?

Yea, I know that.
We just need a primary Arm9 Kernel Exploit to disable the checks.
After disabling the checks, we can downgrade again.
But for this, we need to find a primary Arm9 Kernel Exploit.
I have a N3DS with A9LH so normally I don't care about that but I think it's not impossible to exploit Firmware 11.0.
Time will tell.

That's not exactly what's happening. It only stops lower version software from being installed. So it's entirely possible to manipulate the version number to a version HIGHER than the current one and install it, even though it's basically a lower version. This is not such a big problem. The problem is that they killed the old exploits and removed svc_backdoor which was very important for a lot of things.
So people will have to find a new exploit and a new way to go about it. I am fairly certain there is one.

The only reason this went so fast after the update, was that they didn't really fix the exploit that we had before. (twice now)
And 11.0 did sitll not fix the fact that you can just flash an old NATIVE_FIRM into your NAND (requires Hardmod), which then allows you to use older exploits and downgrade.
11.0 was not a "downgrade killer" in any way. It was just another bad try to fight hackers.

Err... I meant they obviously wanted to bring more stability™.

I would NEVER say that. Unless you have some hidden info no one else knows there's no way you can know there isn't a undiscovered exploit in 11.0.
I meant an exploit to downgrade. An ARM11 exploit would be useless, because of the downgrade checks introduced in ver. 11. And if we have ARM9 access, why would we want to downgrade? And for getting A9LH, we downgrade the EmuNAND, not the sysnand, so the SysNAND wouldnt need to be downgraded. An ARM9 access is all we need, but highly unlikely. I am already part of the a9lh masterrace (*cringe*), so I am not affected anyway, just roaming around for new infos.

I didnt think about higher firmwares not being blocked, thanks for your insight! But that only makes sense, how else would they update? Im always happy to see new oppotunities :)

Again, there is a good chance there will be an arm9 exploit discovered. Everyone said "after 4.5 there won't be one" then "after 9.2 you're screwed". Now it's 10.7.

    I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently.

    Hope you've had a good morning.

    It's going alright thanks :) I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days.

    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
