Hacking Official [Release] CakesFW

[GothicIII]

@mid-kid That's what I already did. Now I read the changelog and it (you) explecit says that cetk decryption doesnt work on a9lh, that explains why it fails. I'm trying to decrypt the keys through 9.0 hbl and report back.

Oh, nevermind, I misunderstood the problem you were describing (was talking about removing slot0x11key96.bin). Yeah, carry on.

hmm cakes.3dsx dont load. reinand sysnand 9.2 and ctrbootmangaer, i ty with gridlouncher and homebrwelouncher.

@mid-kid So I loaded cakesfw through hbl with 9.0 firm. It managed to decrypt cetk and writes the firmkey.bin successfully. I checked the firmkey.bin and its the same as from the 10.x firmwares. I assume this file stays always the same. The problem remains though. It seems to load the firmware.bin without problems but when it comes to "decrypt arm9 FIRM binary" , it fails. I'll be glad to help to debug this but you need to tell me what kind of input/information you need.

EDIT: Same issue with cakesfw1.08
EDIT2: I triple checked. The firmware.bin is from 9.2cia aka 9.0firm (extracted with ctrtool -p --meta=meta 0004013820000002.cia) Tried with both cetk files, one provided in cakes1.08 and mine(the newest one on NUS)

@Conan179 if you load cakes.3dsx from a cfw you need a 9.0 firmware.bin (boot aureinand while holding L) else cakesfw won't load.

I might've fucked up something with the slot0x11 key. Try removing it (slot0x11key96.bin) from the SD card, does it work then?

@mid-kid : like I said. I did that already. I understood it on the first time you said it.

My last comment seems to have been lost amongst the posts, so I'm going to repost it here:

I happen to have the ambassador program GBA games and a few DSiware games downloaded on my emuNAND, but I can't seem to play them. I hear that you can get them working by patching the signatures, but how do you do that? Will they still play on emuNAND, or will they only be playable on sysNAND? And will my save data be preserved?

Also: What do I do if I want to upgrade to a larger capacity SD Card? Do I simply just copy and paste the contents of one card to another, or is there other steps that I have to take for my CFW?

You will have to transfer your Emunand as well (if you are using Emunand of course)

They have to be installed on sysNAND as well as emuNAND if you want to play them on emuNAND. If they're legitimately owned, you don't need to patch any signature checks for them.

So how do I get them installed to my sysNAND? Do I just download the files from "that ISO site" and install them through something like NASA, or is there some other way?

Thanks for linking to the post! I'll be sure to check it out when I get a larger SD Card.

Ah, I misunderstood. Then I have no idea what's wrong right now. I'll fiddle around with it soon.
EDIT: What entrypoint are you using, a9lh?

 

[GothicIII]

@mid-kid : Using a9lh. Same problem occurs when booting from hbl with 9.0 firmlaunch (except that it can decrypt cetk thus creating a firmkey.bin)

Could you send me a checksum to verify your firmware.bin?

 

[thaikhoa]

@mid-kid My wish list
1 firmware.bin version selection
2 Auto patch homemenu for region free
3 Auto run installed cia title on boot

You can retire from the scene after finishing the three j/k

I would love to have #2

What would #3 be useful for?

NTR for instance

NTR for instance

So is that basically booting a CFW inside a CFW? What does NTR offer? Doesn't it have a lot of limitations?

Language emulation, debugger, cheats, region free, clock speed plugin, etc.

And gba/ds support on emunand without patching sysnand
