Hacking Official [Release] CakesFW

[JerryShaw]

Wow... That comes so soon. I can change back to CakesFW again. Thanks.

 

[Zidapi]

every CFW nowadays is using some fork of the Luma3DS reboot patches

So... ReiLuma3DS confirmed?

 

[Wolfvak]

BTW is NATIVE_FIRM 11.2.0-35 still available to download?

Yeah it is, use the same base URL but with version 00000058 instead of 56/5C

 

[The Catboy]

So... ReiLuma3DS confirmed?

ReiNAND did fork an early build of the reboot patches from Luma3DS, but so did Corbenik. Both modified the code to work with their CFW.

I finished updating it: http://ny1.hashbang.sh:8834/nightly/Cakes_190.zip
You'll need to grab the newest NATIVE_FIRM from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mid-kid/CakesForeveryWan/master/firmurls and place it in the cakes directory.
Hold "L" while starting up your console to enter the CakesFW menu, re-enable all your patches (Please don't forget to re-enable the firmware protection patches if you're using arm9loaderhax!), and boot.
Keep in mind that doing this breaks NTR (I'm unsure if it even works on the latest firm yet). You'll have to wait for a new svcBackdoor.cake for that.
3ds_injector.cake should still work, as well as all AGB and TWL cakes.

Tested this on both old3DS and new3DS. All patches are working including AGB, TWL, and reboot patches.

 

[JerryShaw]

BTW, is 3ds_injector (region free) still available for Ver 190? I got noticed that some of the patches just disappeared from the settings somehow on Ver 190. But it worked before.

 

[JerryShaw]

Seems like I have modified the patches already. Thanks a lot.

how to create .bin of cakes on ubuntu ?

 

[Zap Rowsdower]

Hm. Try a few more times, or try this Cakes.3dsx: http://chunk.io/f/014612541fa04235a6f7593c86a4a200.3dsx

Necro-quote, but I felt it worth mentioning that on my 9.0 n3ds (skater to HBL) r190, and probably many previous builds, would never reach the cakes menu until I tried this binary.

Anyone else having trouble running Nanquitas's BootNTR Selector (recently updated to 2.5, supporting firmware 11.3) with CakesFW in an 11.3 environment?

Open terminal, paste this

dd if=Cakes.dat of=arm9loaderhax.bin bs=512 skip=144

 

[Wolfvak]

Open terminal, paste this

dd if=Cakes.dat of=arm9loaderhax.bin bs=512 skip=144

... or just copy main.bin from the build folder after you compiled it?

svcBackdoor has to be reimplemented, it worked on 11.0/11.1 because it's a part of icing but I haven't really updated it for 11.3 (and unfortunately I dont have the time to either, so contributions are appreciated)

I guess that's an option too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When I do this I get a wrong cetk error. I made sure I downloaded the correct file multiple times. Any idea what I may be doing wrong? **Can't decrypt**


--EDIT--

Issue solved, and 3ds is booting as normal again. Thank you for the release. I had to update my system keys

 

[gkoelho]

Im getting a Failed to decrypt the firmware error. It ask to check firmware and firmkey/cetk but Im sure I download the right ones. Cant figure out whats wrong.

No, you're supposed to download the cetk file that's listed in the firmurls and put it right next to the firmware.bin. You have to do this for every FIRM you download (so cetk, twl_cetk and agb_cetk).

Just the cetk with the name it comes? Because I did it and it didn't work, something is messed up here most probably. I downloaded both for O3DS and put it on cakes folder. Do I need to download agb and twl too?

 

[CarlosEFML]

Cakes_190 wont work here (o3ds, sysnand 9.2, without arm9loaderhax). I'm gettin black screen triyng to launch Cakes.3dsx from HBL+soundhax.
Cakes_178 loads, but wont boot 11.3 emunand.
:/

 

[Ryccardo]

People sent a message, and the message was clear: 11.3 is NOT an incremental upgrade from previous platforms - but people still like Cakes!

So here's my Cakes setup for A9LH.
The major optional (1st and 3rd party) patches are included, and also uses Arm9Select to have Luma-like button mappings (X for D9, Y for GM9).

Get firmware from https://github.com/mid-kid/CakesForeveryWan/blob/master/firmurls

Remember you must still use A9LH with screeninit (including any A9LH by AuroraWright with NAND boot, in which case leave arm9select called arm9loaderhax_si.bin)

Only tested on O3DS
Sorry no .dat here, you can get it from the official nightlies

I have CakesFW + AL9H with my Sysnand on 11.2. I want to update to 11.3. What do I need to do to update?

It sounds like i need to download this file http://ny1.hashbang.sh:8834/nightly/Cakes_190.zip

and replace the firmware.bin and cetk.bin with the appropriate version from here
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mid-.

after this do i just replace the new cakes file with the one on my 3ds?
