Homebrew possible ARM11 kernel hack on 10.5

[punderino]

CIA should always work as it doesn't need extra permissions. CIA is not a valid test.

Waiting for *hax sucks man.

 

[mgrev]

Still not a valid test, because of the firmware.bin.

oh yeah. forgot it

 

[LarBob]

Forget him. He's using an emunand, and even cias...

oh... rip dreams

 

[runetoonxx2]

I'll test sysnand for new 3ds have arm9 so can't go wrong xD

Yeah and it will definitely be totally useless, so please read previous messages, thanks. You'll have falsified results.

No proof suck but I was lurking and this is really anticipating. Got a N3DS Pokemon 20th Anniversary on 10.6. Waiting on a downgrader or a working Legit CIA Installer. I right now at the moment hate my N3DS for this

 

[punderino]

Really? You are using it in cia versions? So not valid at all... Please, be serious.

I wasn't. SysNand hbl launcher.

Still not a valid test, because of the firmware.bin.

It's a 10.4 FIRM. Nor is it patched.

SysNand. Using hblauncher doesn't count to get into SysUpdater.

 

[flagrama]

10.4 firmware.bin should be fairly accurate. Is there proof somewhere that it is not? The issue is running a CIA of sysUpdater.

How can you be sure it's not patched ? What CFW are you using ?

 

[punderino]

AuReiNand, you can turn it off in one of the newer versions. It still wants a patched firm, so I just took a 10.4 FIRM and renamed it to the patched file.

Why not, indeed. It should work.

 

[LarBob]

Could you post your code then punderino?

this is a sort of an updated version of memchunkhax2.

I've only tested this successfully on a 10.5.30 emunand (using the 2.50-11 firm), while this is a very good sign, it is still not enough to confirm that the hack is valid.

It would be great if others with a system on at least 10.4 sysnand and access to the homebrew launcher can test this.

also, it probably won't work on a new 3DS, so this test is for o3DS only currently.
making it work for the new 3DS should be trivial though if this test proves to be successful.

Code:
https://github.com/aliaspider/svchax

it should either hang or print out "success", along with the firmware version.
it might not work the first time, so just reboot and launch it again.

Edit: thank you everyone for testing it, it was confirmed working on o3DS running 10.4 to 10.6, support for n3DS will be added soon.

to get support for more firmware versions and for the n3ds, I would need some people with a cfw to install and run the attached svchax_pagedump.cia, it will output a file named tp_<NEW or OLD>_<FW version>.bin

the output depends only on the firmware.bin used with the cfw, and only dumps on the 9.3 firmware and up are needed.

status:
o3DS:
2.48-3 : tp_OLD_0x02300300.bin (MISSING)
2.49-0 : tp_OLD_0x02310000.bin (MISSING)

2.50-9 : tp_NEW_0x02320900.bin (DONE)
2.50-11 : tp_NEW_0x02320B00.bin (DONE)

Edit: updated the test file to include n3Ds offsets, hopefully it will work there.

Has anyone tried 10.4 + N3DS?

Still not home. Sorry. I'm currently at my Grandmother's house. I'll be back in about 7 hours, sorry. Divorce stuff is fun.

Oh, ouch. My apologies.

 

[aliaspider]

anyone up for more failed tests on new3DS ?

Haha... Ha... Haha.... Welp this is awkward..

 

[punderino]

Going for it!

 

[LarBob]

anyone up for more failed tests on new3DS ?

going to try right now

 

[punderino]

I'm going to upload a proof of concept with me downgrading, my downgrade package is corrupt btw, so it'll install the CIAs but fail. xD YouTube link. Give me a minute
