Hacking [Release] rxTools - Roxas75 3DS Toolkit [fw 2.0 - 9.2]

[Apache Thunder]

The true best method is to format a new emuNAND, update it with sysUpdater (that brick only while in sysNAND) and flash it back to sysNAND.

I just had a user brick a 3DS even when using this on emunand (and then flashing back to sysnand). The method you mentioned still results in a brick at the end of the day. sysupdater is completely useless in my opinion now that I know this. I highly recommend everyone stay the **k away from it. The developer needs to get it fixed. There is no way to use this safely with a Gateway and I don't understand why he won't make a workaround for it. The unreleased test app that I got from a different dev used a similar method of installing NATIVE_FIRM that gets along with Gateway. In this case I see the dev's unwillingness to support Gateway users potentially dangerous.

I would recommend you retract that statement or modify it to indicate it will never work with Gateway in anyway.

This is 100% false and resulted in a brick. Edit: Oops, Apache Thunder already pointed it out. I'm the one he mentioned who tried this and got bricked. I used sysUpdater to update an emuNAND to 9.2 and it worked fine. But then when I flashed the emuNAND to sysNAND it bricked me.

Can someone tell me what can I do with the dumped system titles (.app files)?

I'm guessing this is for people who want to modify the system titles or look at their contents for whatever reason

has anyone tried this on N3ds yet since 2.4 has been released?

 

[Naked_Snake]

The is what I get on m N3DS

There's still no new3DS support at this stage, and nothing to suggest there ever will be.

Roxas75 doesn't have one which makes porting rxTools itself difficult, and rxMode virtually impossible.

Does it hang on that screen?

yes

about the dumped system titles, I am seeing a bunch of .app files which according to ctrtool, is decrypted. But after extracting the romfs, it could not be unpacked. Does this mean the romfs is still encrypted and what further steps must I do to unpack it?

 

[OctopusRift]

Thanks ALL!

Has roxas released a way to downgrade mset?

It doesn't appear to decrypt system apps correctly. RomFS is still encrypted. I found that I could decrypt RomFS using a xorpad. But you'd have to convert the system app to 3DS before you can gen xorpads for it.

No, you just have to drag and drop on the ncchinfo generator and you will obtain a nice ncchinfo.bin.

hmm how do I convert the app to 3ds then? like any other eshop app?

I recall trying that once and didn't get very far. But I suppose I could try it again next time.

I already decrypted successfully NIM and ClCertA (so a CXI and a CFA).

btw, could I also do this on the content files downloaded bv 3dnus?

Not at the moment unless you use an older python script to download it from CDN since there is a extra layer of encryption on CDN content that 3DNUS does not remove.

No, you have to decrypt them before.

yeah I suspected as much, thanks for confirming though
