There will be now that we know it's safe. GBATemp tries not to advocate updates that may not be safe for the user's system - we've covered that in the F.A.Q and recommended staying on earlier firmwares until the bricking issue is resolved.
We'll, it's not exactly a brick but it's more a protection lock added on 4.2 Korean wii's when the system region is changed that triggers error 003 and make the console useless if don't recover it with savemiifrii or bootmii@boot2.
So it's a user-induced brick that cannot be triggered without tampering with the system. It's the user's fault, not Nintendo's.
The bricking code is still there they just changed it. Now it gets triggered by the ROP as its own 3 stage ARM9 payload.
Too lazy to get a new picture for 2.2 or find the AES key they used but here's it from 2.1
The brick code does exist in 2.1. I have no idea why you're doubting it.
It's in the Launcher.dat at offset 0x25160 size 0xB20. AES key 0x514E7232 0xDD58D52F 0xB1D257D2 0xB65E1CD4.
Here's a quick picture of the code from that region.
Interesting. I wonder if mathieulh overlooked this or if it's misinterpreted - sdmmc_something doesn't exactly sound convincing. We'll see what he says, I'll adjust the F.A.Q to reflect this.
Slashmolder Million dollar question - what would be required to artificially trigger the bricking code now that, according to you, it has been modified? It would be worth to know what circumstances would have to occur to brick the user's system and if the code is in any way dangerous to genuine users. That, and if the Masterkey has been changed, knowing it would help 3DS Unbricker developers a tonne.
It's actually kind of old news. That information was posted awhile back in one of the other threads about its presence in 2.1 (can't remember which one but remember seeing it). I just read his newest post about it still being present in 2.2. In the end though, slash has even said that it doesn't seem to be triggering like the unstable one once did and said that it should be just as safe as 2.1 which is good news in my mind.
I hear you on that one!
You will not be disappointed with the Gateway (especially with the newest features.) Version 2.1 has proven itself to be stable and like I said I do not recall hearing of a single brick related to it. Even though 2.2 just came out, things seem to be going along the same way.
Yeah! Frankly amazing result, waited a bit before ordering it, but right after multirom supports was released.. I was highly tempted. Now with online support I'll enjoy it even more.
That's your reasoning behind not posting the update for the Gateway 3DS? How about if the news gets posted and the users can decide if they want to use the update. Why
Cause a number of people on this forum can't make sound judgments and end up flooding the forum with idiotic questions that could have been answered if they took the time to actually read.
There's a huge difference between bricking a console due to improper use of tools provided and bricking the console because your tool is faulty - in the first case it's the user's fault, in the latter the tool is faulty and cannot be recommended. This is the reason why ModMii is recommended and PimpMyWii aka BrickMyWii isn't. You can shove soggy toast into your console if that is your wish, but don't expect us to make front page posts about it.
More like "working Wii" versus "upside-down Homebrew Channel and broken System Menu", but hey!
because you then go around telling people MT card does everything that gateway does.....if you don't follow the progress on all sides you shouldn't be giving advice to people
if i had one of the clone carts would that mean i should ignore all other progress and say it does everything all other cards can do?
its not like it takes more than a few seconds to see the numerous threads on gateway 2.2 being online compatible and homebrew compatible you could figure that out by just reading the thread titles
