Hacking Official Corbenik - Another CFW for advanced users (with bytecode patches!)

[Kirtai]

I am actually running ctrbootmanager9 with 6 different CFW's and several A9LH apps. I don't regret it.

6?
Corbenik
Luma
Salt
Reinand
New RxTools
...
hmm, which am I missing?

 

[a9lh-1user]

Mizuki and CakesFW
(forgett RxTools! because they are not A9LH compatible ATM!)

Oops, should have remembered Cakes since I used it when installing a9lh the first time. Mizuki seems to be gone now though.

 

[a9lh-1user]

Mizuki is in private development now

Yes. 0.0.9 works.

Are you absolutely 100% sure it works in 0.0.9? Because as I sit here testing, it ain't working in ANY revision even going back to 0.0.6. Ugh.

EDIT: @Orkna - Okay, so there's a very odd set of conditions to trigger this, so it's either an ordering issue or a global variable conflict. Can you test master now? It *should* work.

Yes. master works now! Thank you!

Ayy, good. One less bug now. I'm going to hopefully finetune delays now, so hopefully the next few commits will fix your random jumping around.

I just cannot find the firmkey anywhere Help plz

This really isn't intended for newbies at all, so I'm not going to attempt to paint it as such. It just isn't.

I'd prefer anyone who considers themselves a newb in any sense not use it - there's nothing wrong with the other options for CFW. They're safer, stable, and there's no risk of bricking. This on the other hand is experimental and still quite unstable, but by the same token is extremely powerful in the right hands.

Anyways, the firmkey is the same as the one used in Cakes which is usually named `firmkey.bin` there. Since Plailect removed Cakes from the Guide, the links are no longer there to the files, and github doesn't expose wiki history without going back in revisions.

It IS still possible to boot another CFW and reboot into Corbenik to get the firmkeys. I think D9 also may be able to decrypt FIRMs as well (going by the commit log.)

That ISO site -> CFW Discussions -> CakesFW -> later pages -> build 175 (if not mistaken). Although think twice before installing it - Luma provides you with great features while removing the risk of bricking

I already had a firmkey.bin from my original O3DS hack so I went through all the info I could find to see how it was obtained, using the old one to test my results. Of course, after ages of not working I realised I was obtaining the N3DS firmkey and they were different.

Bah humbug.

@chaoskagami want me to write up how I got them?

O3DS key SHA1: 9fc07590adfb2c9fc8ab6e0e0f654233dbf3a02f
N3DS key SHA1: daafdb699a48877dd6b33d92c48e37632c8928bf

(shout at me if those are not correct)

IDK about the O3DS one. The N3DS sha1 is definitely wrong. N3DS and O3DS use different firmkeys.

Yes, you're right. I somehow copied the SHA1 of the file after editing but before saving it.
Sorry about that and fixed my post

I am curious about how you obtained them, though. To be clear, there was no Cakes/Luma/Decrypt9 involved?

I used Decrypt9 and one of its scripts called dump_ticket_keys.py

That makes sense, I suppose, considering they're just title keys.
