Homebrew possible ARM11 kernel hack on 10.5

[•Citrus•]

I like how a bunch of people are bashing the guy for releasing the exploit this early.

Honestly, it's not a huge deal. A new NATIVE_FIRM is pretty much guaranteed to come with the MyNintendo update regardless. And lets be honest, do you really think Nintendo was going to update NATIVE_FIRM for the first time since the 32c3 slides were published (https://twitter.com/smealum/status/701548242060750850) without further attempting to secure the kernel?

It was probably a "wasted exploit" from the start. But hey, it's here so we might as well utilize it instead of making a big deal about when it was released.

Is there anyone doing it right now? I'd like to do it but I'm not in the mood to get an headache over 550 lines of stuff with things tossed all over the place

I have no idea.

why just don't wait until we got a no way? actually we were able to downgrade

fuck legit Cias, if you're going that route atleast have hard mod or arm9loaderhax installed. Also, why need legit cias, when you can just do everything on emunand.

Brain fart edit* I was thinking about people on sysnand firmware 9.3-10.3 with legit pirated cia games....

I have no idea.

sigh. Looked at valgrind output and it's a bit better than expected, but still

Yes. But MyNintendo is coming really soon. And we could still downgrade from 10.6 (even if it needed hardmodding).

Legit .cias will boot* on Sysnand... so we know if downgrading is possible

This post is so stupid I think my brain committed suicide

How does that work? If 10.6 can flash 10.2 native_firm, what's stopping 10.8 etc from flashing the 10.6 native_firm?

It only works if the native firm has an internal version number that is the same as the older native firm. Otherwise the other titles won't work with the replacement native firm. If they update the version for 10.7 and then don't update it for 10.8, you'll be able to downgrade 10.8 to 10.7 but not 10.7 to anything below.

This is reminding me of in the apple scene when ih8sn0w wasted a exploit on a jailbreak that would jailbreak outdated software by Apple.

Sn0w didn't blow an exploit. The exploit was patched. Maybe you should research more. Sauce: He's my ex-bf

To be honest I really can't remember. If that's what happened I'll take your word for it

No, the first is the first: "document" the exploit, clean up that "code" (I can't even call that code!)

ask justpingo for code then...

 

[Mrrraou]

wtf ?

 

[jackb994]

wtf ?

That's exactly what I was thinking lol

 

[gnmmarechal]

Yes, but it's memchunkhax2. svchax is totally unrelated to what it does.

until a new name is officially used, I'm going to use SVCHax.

 

[CeeDee]

wtf ?

smealum's hidden kernel exploit!

Just tried this on n3ds sysnand 10.6.0-31 (OotHax). Freezes on "press start to exit".
