Hacking No System Updates From Nintendo In A While?

[loco365]

What about "ENGAGE RIDLEY MOTHER FUCKER"

I remember this haha.

To my knowledge, it would be illegal in the US to brick someone's console on purpose because they modified it.

I mean, the original 3DS box stated they could disable your 3ds for illegal activities.

This will be their next-gen kinda handheld console. We already know that the NX console will also be portable. The rest is self-explanatory...

I get this feeling too. I hope their next console is not a handheld too quite honestly. I'm joping it just uses the Wii U gamepad for something instead.

It's never illegal. The moment you threw a custom firmware on your 3ds is the moment you voided your warranty and broke the User license agreement. The fun part is, that even if you send it out for warranty they're going to check the console on the reason why it bricked. People like to think that nintendo are stupid and they don't know about things like what cfw there are or methods used to play backup games. You said a few pages back that ah9l is nearly impossible to patch. It's not in the "nearly" range at all. It IS possible, we just don't know how or when they're going to do it. Their biggest problem is the downgrading right now. they're obviously trying to get rid of that first if you consider the most recent update. If they can get rid of downgrading including hardmod downgrades there won't be any new systems that can install CIA's. At that point they can start solving the current existing ones.

I'm hoping you are a skilled developer and security ethusiast, you went through all the documentation on a9lh, understood it to perfection and found a quite an amount of inevitable threats to systems with a9lh already installed and you are just warning us of things that may happen and we might like to be aware of.

My opinion differs from yours, but I'm not gonna impose it to you. I will not say a9lh is perfect, since anything is perfect. It's hard to break once installed, and I leave it at that.

Just for reading purposes, I left two cents of my opinion in this thread here and here.

PS: Ninty isn't gonna go berserk on nands. Stop being paranoid guys.

Taking the words out of my tongue where they were stuck.
Know what you're talking about, buddy. Because we do.

Wishful thinking. Nintendo is so inept at patching their own systems that they'd probably introduce a brand new exploit.
Hackers know the 3DS better than Nintendo itself. Wish I could say the same about the Vita scene...

The exploit they introduced was the use of OTP in the chain of trust, the dummies

 

[cocoPika]

where to know the newest nintendo fw? the time looks enough

Newest firmware is 11.0.

They could disable a9lh by replacing arm9loaderhax.bin on the sd card with something that "fixes" the nand and forcing a reboot. Obviously, this could be fixed with a modification to cfw, similar to how nand writes are blocked, but afaik current cfw doesn't block writes to arm9loaderhax.bin.

Spoiler: Let's speculate until there is no tomorrow

 

[Salamencizer]

Wow this thread turned from a "Next update when" thread to a "Can Ninty patch a9lh" thread...
I'd like to say a thing. If they succeed to block a9lh with a new firmware update, we could simply resort to EmuNAND. Let's them do whatever they want with that, we'll keep our sysNANDs safe like we did before the times of a9lh (please correct me wherever I'm wrong)

You and I seem have the same thought process, I keep an emunand around just in case nintendo ever does anything fucky to a9lh. Firm 11.0 man, they messed up downgrading. I saw the potential other things they could cripple so I brought back emunand and it's exactly the same as just using sysnand. Always better to be safe then sorry.

Atleast you know what could happen. Too many sheep in here think that nintendo is stupid and don't know how to handle their systems. What hackers patched, can be patched by nintendo again.

OK why am I wrong?

I was kidding

 

[RemixDeluxe]

Say hi to my ignore lost for me. Don't take it personal, I'm here to learn not joke around.

On topic:
Even with downgrading out the way I can't fathom Nintendo stopping arm9loader. It's an exploit with the specific mobo type. Best they can do is prevent future systems from being made with that same mobo type.

I hope they won't break A9LH with the next update...I just installed it two days ago...-_-'

Welcome home sister

They can mess up downgrade process by updating the Home Menu, MSET or ErrDisp. Those will require 2.51 NVFIRM to run and won't allow the 3DS to boot after replacing it by hardmod
