Homebrew [QUESTION] Could we trick 3DS system update to downlod other content, then downgrade?

[Pokéidiot]

Is that so? You should be able to see a ton of answers. And they all say the same thing:
As many posts before this one got answered, this is currently not possible.

Ok, thanks. Close this thread or move this shit to off-topic.

You can do. Just try a MITM and relay all the SOAP Requests to Nintendo.

You can just replace the response.

If I recall correctly, you can't do that since 8.x or 9.x, they changed the certificates or something along those lines. That's why that's a method used to upgrade from 8.x to 9.2.

Certificates are stored on ClCertA system title. It's easy to obtain them and replace with new ones to do MITM relay

Huh. I haven't explored that much, so I'll take your word for it. But then, why hasn't anyone got working on that? It seems kinda weird to ignore the first obvious solution for custom upgrades.

Huh this means you can make a Downgrade from 10.4 on Soft Mod?

Probably not. I wouldn't believe such an obvious solution could be ignored.

Because as I have seen if you try to download a system title of an old version Nintendo SOAP says... 401 Forbidden.

There's still the issue of downgrade prevention. The 3ds checks title versions after they've downloaded and disallows a lower title replacement.

Lol for a Moment I was Overjoyed.

Aaand here's the catch. I thought this was too good to be true x)

As they say, the problem is not fake the console, the big problem is that when the console download and try to install the fake update, will check signature and other app checks and see that ur fake update is that... a fake.

And dont install, u could even get stuck in a brick loop, because if u make that always that try to update, u use a fake update and cant be installed, u just can recovery with a update so if u cant update...

loop brick.

sorry buddy but that is not the problem.
we would not have to break any signatures of updates, this is not the problem
even if we did edit the tmd to trick into downgrading instead of upgrading, untouched legit tickets would still exist on the system from the previous newer update so this should not be a problem

Anyway is just the same, for app checks or for legit tickets, the answer is that we cant fully fake a update actually.
