Hacking Pasta CFW - A CFW that allows unsigned CIA to be installed on Old and New 3DS! (required ninjhax)

[motezazer]

The firm.bin file is simply the decrypted firmware.

That's why I wanted the MD5 or SHA1 so I could try something.

For old 3DS the md5 is:

180d297732415d27ca49e69967eb68b6

The firm.bin file is simply the decrypted firmware.

Can I please have either the MD5 or SHA1 so I can make sure I generated the right file? I have the N3DS. Is it different?

EDIT: I just tried it and the program crashes before creating the firm.bin. It downloaded the 4 bins though.

MD5 of firm.bin for N3DS:

Hi, I installed the last version of Pasta but I can not able to get work firmlaunch, I follow the tutorial, but when I want to play games like pokemon shuffle or the last update of smash bros nothing happens, back screen. Any solution? I'm on sysnand 9.2

Pasta CFW 1.3 Beta 5.1
Changelog:
-Hold R during pasta boot to temporarly invert the firmlaunch settings (if firmlaunch is enabled by default, it will disable it, and the other way around as well.)

Download
Compiled: check first post
Source: https://github.com/capito27/Pasta-CFW

A nice update! It's better to have Y/N firmlaunch question when executing Pasta.

I can't download the firmlaunch.bin file with the compagnon App. The app always crashes during download (Win 8.1 X64)

Me too. I tried it in both WineSkin and CrossOver. All it does is download 4 bin files.

Have you blocked access to Nintendo updates via Firewall / personal DNS server / Router / hosts file...? If it's that, unlock them

EDIT : It doesn't work.

Tried beta 6 on O3ds non xl 4.5 does not work

Still working on it, it's very complicated
I'm stuck in PART 3. I'm trying to use TinyAES to decrypt file3 with the xorred key...

            byte[] file3_dec=AES_Decrypt(file3_array, key);

Then I'll have to port this looong piece of code:

Spoiler

//----------------------- PART 4: EXEFS ------------------------------
  textBox3.AppendText("Getting EXEFS info");
  textBox3.AppendText(Environment.NewLine);

  byte[] EXEFS_offset_array = new byte[4];
  EXEFS_offset_array[0] = file3_dec[0x1A3];
  EXEFS_offset_array[1] = file3_dec[0x1A2];
  EXEFS_offset_array[2] = file3_dec[0x1A1];
  EXEFS_offset_array[3] = file3_dec[0x1A0];
  var EXEFS_offset = EXEFS_offset_array[0] << 8 | EXEFS_offset_array[1]; //TODO: DO THIS BETTER
  EXEFS_offset = EXEFS_offset << 8 | EXEFS_offset_array[2];
  EXEFS_offset = EXEFS_offset << 8 | EXEFS_offset_array[3];
  EXEFS_offset *= 0x200;

  byte[] EXEFS_size_array = new byte[4];
  EXEFS_size_array[0] = file3_dec[0x1A7];
  EXEFS_size_array[1] = file3_dec[0x1A6];
  EXEFS_size_array[2] = file3_dec[0x1A5];
  EXEFS_size_array[3] = file3_dec[0x1A4];
  var EXEFS_size = EXEFS_size_array[0] << 8 | EXEFS_size_array[1]; //TODO: DO THIS BETTER
  EXEFS_size = EXEFS_size << 8 | EXEFS_size_array[2];
  EXEFS_size = EXEFS_size << 8 | EXEFS_size_array[3];
  EXEFS_size *= 0x200;

  progressBar1.Value = 70;
  //-------------------------- PART 5: FIRM --------------------------
  textBox3.AppendText("Extracting EXEFS");
  textBox3.AppendText(Environment.NewLine);

  byte[] file2_array = new byte[EXEFS_size];
  FileStream file2_stream = new FileStream("file2.bin", FileMode.Open);
  file2_stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
  file2_stream.Read(file2_array, 0, EXEFS_size);

  byte[] firm = new byte[EXEFS_size];
  for (int i = 0; i < EXEFS_size; i++)
  {
  firm[i] = (byte)(file2_array[i] ^ file3_dec[EXEFS_offset+i]);
  }
  progressBar1.Value = 90;

  textBox3.AppendText("Saving the FIRM.bin");
  textBox3.AppendText(Environment.NewLine);

  FileStream firm_writer = new FileStream(comboBox1.SelectedItem + "3ds/PastaCFW/firm.bin", FileMode.Create);
  for (int i = 0; i < EXEFS_size-0x200; i++)
  {
  firm_writer.WriteByte(firm[0x200 + i]);
  }
  firm_writer.Close();

  file4_stream.Close();
  file2_stream.Close();
  file1_stream.Close();

  File.Delete("file1.bin");
  File.Delete("file2.bin");
  File.Delete("file3.bin");
  File.Delete("file4.bin");

So it may take a while.


The Mac and Linux versions are based on the same code...

Can't believe you still using this nonsense. Are you really believe using xorpad generated using 3ds would be more legally-ish instead of your own? Not to mention this:

the issue with that solution is that we have a feature being worked on that will require all this technical mumbo-jumbo to work, so yes, it would be awesome if he could port the current method

Nothing is blocked

Did you select your SD card drive at the top?

 

[3xkrazy]

Did you select your SD card drive at the top?

Ah, ok. I was wondering what that was at the top of the app. It would be nice if firm downloading didn't require the SD card inserted.

I don't want to remove the microSD card from the New 3DS... Firm downloading needs the SDCARD?

 

[capito27]

I don't want to remove the microSD card from the New 3DS... Firm downloading needs the SDCARD?

yes, you need to put the microSD card on your computer to be able to download the firm.bin
Edit : we are curently working in a way to download firm.bin without the sd card insterted, should be out soon

You can also mount your SD card to a lector if you want to copy to it via network.
