Homebrew [PSA] Please stop using RxTools.

[Xiphiidae]

I don't think that's possible by normal means.

No, that's exactly what A9LH can do. Brick-protection is kind of its main point, really.

idk why any one thought of a9lh sooner its not that old only like a few mouths what it is basically is its a hax stored on nand allowing you to boot into cfw fast the next step is to have it like the psp where you can flash the cfw on to the nand so the 3ds will boot into cfw with out an sd card

I don't think you know how exploits work. the reason arm9loaderhax works is because (I think) someone discovered the 9.6+ kernel9loader doesn't verify the key it uses to decrypt the firmware, and also doesn't verify after decryption. had it verified the key, a9lh would not exist (at least as it is right now). also kernel9loader was introduced with New3DS, so if we were stuck with Old3DS we'd have a very different boot exploit if we even got one.

No, no. I meant it's not possible by normal means to brick the part of A9LH that allows you to unbrick.

rxTools was indeed being updated to support arm9loaderhax; unfortunately interest was lost in the project due to other better tools replacing it pretty much (Decrypt9, Luma3DS/CakesFW/etc).

what happed to gateway though people wih gateway cards can't use them with a9lh

not until they release support for it, which will come at a later date. they recently made a post talking about their 9.2 downgrader and thing that helps with the OTP process.

 

[Boured]

Personally if you don't like the rxTools help questions, ignore them. I really don't like people who try to force people to change. I get Luma and Cakes are pretty much better in every aspect as I know, but if people want to use rxTools I say let them.

does that mean nintedo can patch a9lh by patching kernel9loader

no not really, kernel9loader is part of the firmware (the thing the bootrom executes). if they patched it, it wouldn't do anything as everyone would still use an older one for arm9loaderhax.

I use rxtools for homebrew development. it works

can could patch it by adding keys or some thing so the firmware so it checks to see if its being run legit or a cfw is being used

I'm pretty sure they can tell if you are using custom firmware, but are not doing anything about it (yet?). this wouldn't let them overwrite the FIRM partitions though, if this is what you mean(?).

i mean making it so there firmwares won't work with a custom firmware by making it check to see if a cfw is being used

they could try to do that, but much like signatures it will probably be patched out.
