Hacking Official [Release] CakesFW

[mid-kid]

I already have the ticket.db, how can i dump the firmkey.bin

im using same firmware.bin as rxtools, decrpt title key usin rxtools and rename it to firmkey.bin (put into cakes folder).

You have to decrypt the ticket.db with either Decrypt9, rxTools, or 3DS_Multi_Decryptor.
I won't serve a tutorial for that. Use any printKeys.py to, well, print the keys.
Once you have the key, paste it in a hex editor, just like the slot0x25keyX.
The title ID is: 0004013800000002

Shoddy info about firmkey.bin (the error message is wrong about the path btw) for those already semi-experienced:

firmkey.bin must contain the raw (i.e., not encoded as hex) title key for NATIVE_FIRM. Use Decrypt9 (https://github.com/archshift/Decrypt9) title key decryption for the cetk (which you can download from firmurl in the repo, but replace "00000049" with "cetk"). To use Decrypt9 title key decryption, you'll need to use dump_ticket_keys.py and copy the resultung encTitleKeys.bin to the root of the SD card, launch Decrypt9, select titlekey decryption; the final 16 bytes of decTitleKeys.bin are what needs to be in firmkey.bin.

Anyone to release the firmkey.bin for the lazy ones?

 

[WiiUBricker]

Only for o3ds.

Stops reading. Closes tab.

This is probably the CFW I'm most thankful for. It's nice to have options (ie. Pasta and rxTools), but this project has the least developer douchery out of the three.
You've got got future plans to continue the CFW development, you've no moral qualms for piracy, you've shared the source, and you've introduced cakes.
Thank you for your contributions. I'll sit here and quietly wait for someone to implement N3DS and 9.2MSET support. I'm assuming you post in /hbg/?

this is what i've been looking for.

Sorry, I'm building the documentation as I'm going.
Thanks for the small tut. Will put on the main post.

No, I don't post in /hbg/.

As a side note, I've just been banned from #3dsdev without saying anything, just for the simple fact that this disables signature checking. I love those guys <3

Man those guys are douchebags. We do appreciate your work.

I don't have a O3DS... but I do hope to see N3DS support, even with emuNAND at 9.5.

 

[piratesephiroth]

Does it enable region-free?

 

[Fatalanus]

Hey, this is another great CFW, but this one seems to propose clear stuff.
I hope for a 9.2 MSET soon, guys. Good job!

 

[innercy]

Does it enable region-free?

i dont think so

 

[RodrigoDavy]

Now we have Pasta and Cakes. The 3DS scene is really well served!

By the way, is having both sysnand and emunand support a way of saying "You can have your cake and it too"?

Elitists with such attitudes are just douchebags, the best countermeasure is to make them irrelevant.
After all elitists live in a cloud of self assuring circle jerking.

As far as I can tell, #3dsdev is still a driving force behind research and 3dbrew documentation. You may not want to piss them off too much or they'll just go back to hogging all the knowledge in private groups.

 

[pikatsu]

Can anyone upload the firmkey.bin on the iso site?

 

[b1l1s]

What EmuNAND's system version are supported? 4.x up to 9.8?

I've only personally tested 4.5 and 9.6 but @mid-kid said that 9.8 works fine.

t's only a couple of SJW morons there that call for these bans. Most people there don't really care.

Actually, I just will piss off any elitist, even if they hold the cure for cancer, nevertheless just stupid hacking knowledge for 3ds.
The elitist attitude is against my principles.

 

[Sizednochi]

The best thing is that we now have an Open Source alternative that can be mantained in case Roxas doesn't care enough to continue developing rxTools now. Hopefully Pasta gets emunand soon as well. Also can't wait for 9.x MSET.

 

[Syphurith]

New FW appeared! It is open-sourced! What should one do?
1. Try 2.TRy 3.TRY 4.Cancel
Forget about the joke, yea. I don't know what you planned to do later.
Maybe.. Eh.. two entrypoints that enable payloads of both types?
That would make merging something like YGW/others(maybe) able.
