Hacking Official [Release] CakesFW

Oops... Freenode IRC seems not to be available in my country...

I don't think they outright ban a country, just pick whatever server is closest to you or just connect via webchat: https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#Cakey

I checked, one of the JavaScript from Google was unreachable, blocked by country firewall.
It's OK, I'll try what you said.

 

[JerryShaw]

Yep, that makes things easier to find the hash string. Thanks, @mid-kid .

Still trying without luck...

 

[mid-kid]

I've just pushed a commit to support FIRM 11.4 on o3ds, I will do N3DS tomorrow, and release properly.
I'm sorry it's taking so long, I don't have much time on my hands right now.

Well, don't worry about it yourself too much, that's what I'm here for. If you still want to try and are struggling with something, feel free to PM me
Besides, GrayJack sent a pull that adds all the older firm hashes, as well as 11.4 today, so that's out of the way.

 

[JerryShaw]

Yep, I found the hash and added to all, firm & patches. But, seems like I couldn't get the correct key data for 11.4, using 11.3's went to black screen

 

[SIMONWOO]

If you are using an O3DS, just update the CakesFW

I also recommend you to install Arm9LoaderHax(A9LH) as a entrypoint, here's THE guide: https://3ds.guide/

You don't need to install Luma if you don't want to. The guide that I recommended uses Luma, but you don't need to, after installing A9LH you just need to use change the Luma files for the Cakes files

 

[The Catboy]

Install luma

There's no reasons to install Luma when CakesFW is updated as needed

Inside the folder called "a9lh", there is files called "payload_stage1.bin" and "payload_stage2.bin"?

That's a message of the A9LHEasyInstaller... not luma.
Please, check your payload (the file named "arm9loaderhax.bin"

Download Luma payload
Delete the "arm9loaderhax.bin" file from your SD root
Put the Luma "arm9loaderhax.bin" in the root of your SD
