Hacking [How-to] Spoof firmware (to access eShop and more) on New 3DS and Old 3DS

[Agent Moose]

I can't believe I just realized that this is a thing, so I do have some questions since I don't want to read through all 28 pages:
1. I don't have my sysnand actually connect to the internet, I just have it connect to my phone when I use Go! Gateway to run rxTools/Gateway, so can I do the same for this and then just use the wireless hotspot from my phone to connect to the eshop?
2. Will this work if I go into Smash and try the DLC? I ask this because I know that Smash takes up a ton of memory and what not.

1. Yes, if the phone is itself connected to Internet.
2. The patch do not add any memory.
In fact :
-on an O3DS, nothing is running alongside the patch : no more memory added ;
-on a N3DS, NTR CFW is running, but we don't care because N3DS is more powerful.

I can happily say that system transfer worked between new 3ds and O3DS if both are spoofed and within target range.

Not that it's news or anything I'm sure

So is there any way to use this if you dont have a copy of Cubic Ninja? I have Gateway and OoT.

You have a New 3DS, I presume?
No.

No.

Yes, well thats a shame

Why exactly can't the spiderhax version of the patch work with emunand? Some spiderhax homebrew was known to work on emunand, so why not this one?

It needs to patch kernel.

motezazer Sorry for thinking my problems were with Firmware Spoofers code. I fixed my problem by formatting my system re-linking my NNID, not sure what happened but I guess deleting installed CIA's left trash data that the 3DS data management could not delete giving me these errors even if I installed the CIA's and deleted them using BigBlueMenu. Installing all of those CIA's again is gonna be a pain in the ass

Would it be possible to turn this into a plugin for NTR2 that could be run from the NTR menu?

Load up as many as your card will hold by half. Select install all and then go to sleep. It will be like Christams morning.

I know I just use L+R+A and close the lid its still a pain though.

Wow, well now there's a good reason to keep your NANDs linked, at least until Gateway finally updates for 9.6+. Now we can install legit stuff and updates to sysNAND without updating.

Using this I connected to the theme shop in sysNAND and got my ticket validated for a theme I purchased in emuNAND a long time ago. So now, finally, my legit theme is usable in both sysNAND and emuNAND on my O3DS. When the free Monster Hunter theme comes out I can install that to sysNAND, too.

I was able to update my retail carts, plus redeem my Flipnote code I hadn't claimed yet. Flipnote's not usable in emuNAND though, I'd have to reformat emuNAND to fix that. Not gonna do that atm since I'd also have to reinstall a bunch of .CIA DLC.

Oh and speaking of which, my .CIA DLC wasn't effected, which is cool. Before when I would enter eShop in emuNAND it screwed up my Theatrhythm DLC, but not when I used the spoof to enter from sysNAND.

All in all, this is pretty cool and really helpful in a few specific situations. It's a lifesaver to the very few people out there that have stayed on old firmware while waiting to buy a Gateway and need updates or other downloads--I know a kid who's currently on 8.something cuz she hasn't still hasn't saved up money to buy herself a Gateway.

Of course it's possible. I'm still waiting for it.

Is there any way to use this to update roms from my gateway cart?

 

[veekay]

I'm trying to do this on an o3ds that is running 9.2 - the website gives me the failed to load message, but I can't press the home button because the system stops responding. Any ideas?

Apparently I can no longer run rxtools either. I did downgrade from 9.5 firmware so maybe something is wrong browser wise?

And... gateway doesn't load either. Great

 

[Zidapi]

This doesn't work in Gateway Mode. Period.

I guess you could download the updates in sysNAND and then create a new emuNAND. But that's the only work around I can think of.

the only thing i need emunand for now is the for 9.4 games like xenoblades.
is it possible to patch via ntr, to skip update when booting up games? bravely second wants 9.4 so i can't play with sky3ds on my sysnand
ntr is only arm 9, not 11 (or the other way around) - what limits are there in this?
signature patching is not possible with ntr, not just not supported.


yifan_lu - i saw your 3dsinstalltickets, is it possible to delete remove tickets from the ticket.db?
for example, having a 'bad' update cia installed, where the title key is not what it should be, when trying to download a newer version of that update from eshop, it would fail because the title key is incorrect and the contents cannot be decrypted. removing the bad ticket would fix this. - maybe that situation is fixable in other ways, but still, i want to know if it is still possible to delete tickets thank you

1. No, you will need to launch an upper FIRM for that.

2. 3dsinstalltickets install tickets with the official API and there is no functions to delete a ticket.

Crack O3DS 9.6 emuNAND ---> change offsets
Crack N3DS 9.6 emuNAND ---> much, MUCH more complex (break a new encryption)

Hey, I wanna ask something. If I do this thing, can I delete the hack after using it?
