Hacking BootNTR New Version Research

[astronautlevel]

Process9 is reportedly the only thing updated in NATIVE_FIRM, I think BootNTR only really needs a version string update so it recognizes the new native_firm version.

That's actually really helpful, I hadn't looked too much into the update yet

I don't have access to a devKitArm environment right now to test it on though, but if someone wants to compile and test it I can make the code changes in like 20 minutes.

Yeah I checked on IDA and for now everything looks the same. I'll upload a version for you to test guys.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

So... where do I find the nativ_firm version ?
Should I just increment it by one ?

 

[Apache Thunder]

Not sure what format it expect it in but according to this site it's v26432 now:

https://yls8.mtheall.com/ninupdates/titlelist.php?date=10-24-16_08-01-02&sys=ktr&reg=E

For USA anyways. Same version string as o3DS.

Doesn't look like it's on there yet, you could also use 3DSIdent to get it

It takes it in the MAJOR.MINOR-REVISION format.

Ahh I see. Then I have no idea then. FBI only reports the title version as 26432. Someone will need to build a CIA out of latest nativeform and check using DevMenu.

3DSIdent by @Joel16 should already do this if I recall correctly.

 

[Nanquitas]

Problem is that I don't have a 3DS to retrieve it, else I'd just print a osGetKernelVersion :/

Oh yeah !
If you launch NTR in dump mode, it tells you the current kernel version in the right format !

 

[Apache Thunder]

kversion is being reported as 02340000 when I attempt to run BootNTR.

 

[Nanquitas]

odd, the last versions being 2.51.2...
Oh well we'll test, thanks !
Nevermind it's 2.52...

 

[astronautlevel]

You want to add a new block here: https://github.com/astronautlevel2/BootNTR/blob/master/source/main.c#L236
and here: https://github.com/astronautlevel2/BootNTR/blob/master/source/main.c#L334

That's 11.1's NFIRM version...

 

[Nanquitas]

Yeah I misinterpreted it.

On my behave, it's 4 AM in France and I really need to sleep....

Get some rest mate I'll try to figure it out tomorrow if no one else has by then (but it sounds like a really easy fix this time).

Kinda just skimmed through this, but if you still need files, I can get dumps for n3ds JPN + NA and o3ds NA

It looks like 11.2 NFIRM only updated process9 so it should be almost trivial to update NTR if someone could get me the new NFIRM version reported by 3DSident

 

[Nanquitas]

I'm installing all the libs on my new laptop (ctrulib / citro3D / portlibs) and I'll upload it.

will an Decrypt9 Dump work?

This one, right?

 

[astronautlevel]

This one, right?

Thank you! Exactly that one.

Give me a few minutes.

 

[Nanquitas]

Yep, it's 2.52.0 as stated by @Apache Thunder

If anyone wants to test it, you'll need to compile the commit yourself but: https://github.com/astronautlevel2/BootNTR/blob/master/source/main.c
