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

[The Catboy]

Check in the NATIVE_FIRM directory in your CTRNAND. To be more precise, use GM9 or FBI to browse your CTRNAND and go to title/00040138/00000001/ and check the .app file. Its name is the current version.

Then, download the file from http://nus.cdn.c.shop.nintendowifi.net/ccs/download/0004013800000002/<insert numbers here without the .app extension>

For example, for 11.0 its http://nus.cdn.c.shop.nintendowifi.net/ccs/download/0004013800000002/00000052.

11.2 Native FIRM works just fine on the latest skeith build! I need to test the Stable build.

Yeah, apparently the patch that broke down was the minimum titleversion fix patch. So unless you want to downgrade to a lower version while using an 11.2 native firm, you're fine.

Fair enough, seems like something that will be fixed pretty quickly
Second note, works fine on Stable build as well.

Came here looking for confirmation. Thanks for testing.

A note I should have added.
Completely safe to update on both Stable and Nightly build. FIRM 0/1 protection is holding strong.

Stupid question: what is the version needed for n3ds? For some reason, both of my nands have /titles/00040138/20000002/00000028.app and using that in the link just gives a 404.
edit: Using that titleid and version works, but I don't have a 00000002 folder...

Change the last 2 to a 1 (20000001)
And recheck the version that's present in your NAND.

Why does Corbenik not load FIRMs from CTRNAND?
Is there a particular reason why it was designed this way?

I realized my issue, my brain wasn't quite awake when I tried doing this...
link is: http://nus.cdn.c.shop.nintendowifi.net/ccs/download/0004013820000002/00000028 for n3ds if anyone else is being as dumb as me I guess...

Not sure if it's a bug or something, but if I put my 9.6 key at "/corbenik/share/keys/11key96.key", it fails to boot (firmlaunch failed), while it works fine when I keep it at "/Slot0x11Key96.bin".

Also, your GitHub Readme is not updated for the new location of "native.key". While it's not required to have one, the path displayed is wrong for those who wants to put their own keys.

Otherwise, everything is perfect, thanks !

Known. And yes, I need to fix the freaking README. I removed the alternate key path in the new release, since no keys are located there any longer (aside from that one.) The *plan* at least is to implement D9 keydb as the alternative, since it's much cleaner.

Yes and no. I refuse to implement solely ctrnand handling. I'm open to implementing it as an option (and have been working towards that), but I have a hell of a lot of refactoring I need to do first, and I'm beginning to get seriously discouraged.

Have you tested with an 11.2 NFIRM? Apparently one of Luma's (nightly) patches broke down, either the svcBackdoor patch or the minimum title version patch.

Wonderful. I missed 11.2, huh? Ugh. Yeah, the title DG fix is probably broken.

That's what I get for getting caught up in IRL stuff...and I'm still freaking busy. I think I'm beginning to understand how @mid-kid feels.

Take a break, take your time

Having D9 keydb and be able to load FIRM from CTRNAND would be awesome, but we're not in a hurry

This. Corbenik is already the best CFW for power users and I don't think that's changing soon.

More important that you pace yourself and don't burn out than polish everything immediately.

This should be the download link for o3DS/2DS users:

Anyways, I fixed the anti-downgrade, but I don't have the ability to do a skeith build right now. I *really* should move that to my VPS. If you have python2, you can just run make in the patch folder and replace aadowngrade.vco in sbin for now. Otherwise, this was fairly minor and everything else seems to have held up to 11.2.

And again; they didn't update the freaking version check. Just...why?

Stupidness? I can't tell. Maybe they think it'll somehow boost their system sales?

Yeah, everyone's rushing out to get a new 2DS so they can do the DSiWare downgrade!

 

[gnmmarechal]

Yeah, everyone's rushing out to get a new 2DS so they can do the DSiWare downgrade!

And then they'll return it, but oh well. I suppose they ARE making some $ from DSiWare sales.

I am just happy to hear you were able to fix it. Take your time, real life is always more important.
