There are other ways to Homebrew/get CFW onto your console other that Soundhax. Seedminer and Frogminer are both methods to get CFW in 11.8, but Frogminer is the way to go if you want a 100% free method of getting CFW. I'm unable to post a link directly since I'm still somewhat new here, but it should be realtively easy to find all the details if you just search for 'Frogminer'.
