Homebrew SigHax Updates and Discussion Thread

Install official firm instead of B9S's firm using the hardmod installer.

I have to install the official firm into a NAND Backup right?

Yes.

 

[Kyousak]

Yes.

Where would i get those files?

These are warez, look for them yourself.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

The boot9.bin dump generated by boot9strap seems not compatible with yellows8's boot9_tools. The keys generated do not match those I find online. Maybe a different offset is needed. Has anyone got it working?
Edit: Had to strip the first 0x8000 bytes (so the resulting file is 32kb), the keys match now.

A lot of keys seem to be missing still, I guess these are set in arm9loader/FIRM or in the 3DS software, would be nice to have a tool that could dump those too.

Which hardmodder can revive my old bricked New 3DS XL which was on fw 9.2.0? PM me.

 

[Grantman20]

[The Catboy]

Also sorry I haven't done any editing, my store was doing inventory and it's consumed my week

Play some games. Don't get banned.

so this isn't any different from a9lh?

It boots a little earlier. Lets you dump, boot9, boot11, OTP, and secret sector 0x96. Not much difference to end user. More haxing for devs.
Edit: Unbricking bricks.

 

[easycrashing]

is there any way to decrypt .3ds files yet with the dumped boot9?

its too much work transferring and doing on 3ds

 

[ArmoredGuns1]

Now that Sighax is a thing, can't we create our own LocalFriendCodeSeed_B? This would greatly alleviate the ban issue.

 

[Valery0p]

Sorry for repeating this, but where we can follow bootrom reverse engineering process? Any IRC/discord channel?

 

[MashedPotatos]

Do you think Nintendo will patch Sighax on the New2ds?

 

[TLNiles]

Do you think nintendo will patch sighax on the new2ds

They might try to do that. But indicated by SciresM presentation, they knew about it even back when making New 3DS and haven't fixed it. It's 50/50 until we get new 2DS in our hands.

Do you think nintendo will patch sighax on the new2ds

Doubt it, they would have to actually redo the hardware and that's something Nintendo is not known for doing. Nintendo is often known for reusing the same parts and only tweaking the chips they need. So they most likely only changed the display chip to indicate that it's not a "New3DS" and thus to not check the 3D feature.

Nintendo: "We could patch this serious exploit, but that sounds like a lot of work and will cost money, so nah"

I have a question about B9S, if someone has the full knowledge to answer.

If I put the original 11.4 FIRM file as my boot.firm, would my system boot to a somewhat OFW CFW?? I mean, boot normally as if no CFW was installed?
If so, this is the cleanest environment possible?

Maybe I'm confusing the FIRM partition binary with the NATIVE_FIRM, or something like that, but I think you got the idea of what I'm trying to ask.

I don't know that this is possible with b9s in the form I released it, but I want it to be possible and it should be in the near future.
