Hacking Official [Release] CakesFW

[Zidapi]

Thank you. Whats the best way to use Gateway in my new current environment?

Set up an emuNAND, then downgrade it to 9.2, load emuNAND, use your preferred method of booting Gateway.

How do you boot into sysnand vanilla minus cakes?

Disable the emuNAND patch in the CakesFW menu.

That would be awesome if you could provide one (Since it's illegal to share that file, I assume it would be via PM). Wanted to try out Cakes for A9LH.

Right now I only have the ones for the n3ds. I'll make the ones for the o3ds later. Pm me and let me know what you need

I have a9lh installed on 10.6 sysnand. gba injected games dont work atm right?

Hey bitches, just checking, I should be able to load 9.0 firm (n3ds), right? I've tried a couple of different firmware.bin files for this, and it complains it can't decrypt the arm9 binary (yes I do have slotwhatever). If this should work, please can someone tell me the md5 or whatever of a working 9.0 firmware.bin, and if necessary of the firmkey.bin and cetk? Cheers!

Sorry if this question has been answered already, but how can I run NTR 3.3 with my 10.6 patched sysNand with CakesFW and a9lh? I followed Plailects guide, so I should have the same setup as he has. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: So I have figured out now, that it works when deleting the firmware_patched.bin. However, this breaks the autoboot with Cakes. Is there any fix for that?

EDIT2: Okay so after deleting the firmware_patched.bin and enabling autoboot afterwards the problem was gone. I don't know why, I don't know how, but it works

I have one quick question does, does Cakes have the same sysNAND feature as AuReiNand? Where I can use A9LH to boot into sysNAND and still be able to update it without losing my CFW?

Yes.

 

[The Catboy]

Yes.

How do I make it work? I have A9LH's already installed and auto-booting into AuReiNand onto my sysNAND.

Yes, just make sure to enable the FIRM protection in the options, it's not on by default.

Thanks both of you!

I updated a9lh sysnand 10.4 to 10.6 with no problems...

Edit: And figured this out using this guide

Next random question! I have CtrBootManager9 installed and just got AuReiNAND up and running, but I can't seem to figure how to get cakes running. It mentions "Cakes.bin" in the cfg file, but the OP says "Never rename the Cakes.dat. The arm9 payload is located there and the code expects it to be named like that."
So where do I find this Cakes.bin?

Just set the path to Cakes.dat and offset = 0x1200 in a9lh.cfg. Or use a hex editor and delete everything before 0x12000, save it as Cakes.bin, and offset = 0. Or compile it yourself and save build/main.bin as Cakes.bin with offset = 0. A9lh mode with cakes will not decrypt cetk from a fresh install without firmkey.bin, you u need to set that up by running Cakes via hbl.

I found the offset a few pages back, then figured out the patches I was using weren't complete. So I downloaded the ones from that guide and got everything set up! So now I am running AuReiNAND and Cakesfw on sysNAND!

I tried to install patched AGB/TWM_FIRM with FBI (latest) to sysNAND on o3DS with A9LH+10.6+CakeFW 138, but getting "description_invalid_signature" error message. FIRM protection patch is not active. What can be the problem? Or CakesFW hasn't support AGB/TWM_FIRM yet on A9LH?

 

[elkos]

i already had rxtool on my n3ds.i wonder can i install cakesfw without format my emunand?

 

[temper999]

Of course you can

 

[elkos]

Of course you can

excuse me.I still dont get it.can i use just 1 emunand for both rxtool and cakesfw(Just copy all the files to the root of SD card, and launch? ) or i have to make new emunand for cakesfw ?
