Hacking Official [Source Release] ReiNand CFW

[Aroth]

All I could work out is its a 4chan thread can someone PM me a link please

Yeah that was where i got lost. /hgb/ is not a board I know of on 4chan so yeah

 

[Kioku]

Possible? Though I am wondering how he dumped something that is supposed to be write only and cleared after use.

Ask those who have 10.3 emunand..

 

[Aroth]

Sounds like it.. I'm just over the walls with the progress being made.

Question is how does one find their own key without being on 9.6+, since from what I understand they key isn't even initialized until 9.6.

edit:

Actually tbh the whole thing with the new encryption has me confused as hell. As I understand it, the new key(s) are unique to the console? Meaning each person has a different key. But if the keys are not standard across the board, how the hell can every unit decrypt the same data.

Well, with this seemingly around the corner? We will find out soon enough.

Okay, I figured out what it is. If you take the SHA1 of the 512 bytes posted on pastebin, it matches the second part of this quote:

SHA1
0x11 normal key 9.6 1e6ef27104ed769766fb65259f719a0712baa5fb
key_slot part. b9cfa84916a930d272250130d67ceb822141177d

So we've got the FIRM key (or the part we need, whichever) for 9.6+ with this pastebin, unless I'm mistaken. That makes a lot more sense now, since each NAND is console specific.

These were on the Twitter post of the pic if I'm not mistaken, but are these the right ones? And being console specific what tools do we use to generate our own specific key

I'm pretty sure it's correct, given that it matches two hashes that reputable users have posted (and other reputable users have confirmed the pastebin is legit, such as Steveice and AHP_Person). There are no tools we have access to to get our console-specific info yet, assuming we need to do so in the first place. I believe that's what Rei is/was trying to figure out next.

The train is slowly Starting to chug along.. Kill the hype now. Xx

If that's the case, are we supposed to need a very safe downgrade method and tool/app to generate these keys, then ask every N3DS to update to 10.3 (before 10.4 release in case, there is some huge patch from Nintendo) to get the keys?

 

[Shadowtrance]

And a new wild pastebin from a certain person starting with R appears... haha

Same thread?

No, twitter. lol

If we need to downgrade fuck that in not risking a brick

I could be wrong, but I think it's the same FIRM key for every N3DS, but the key itself is encrypted with a console-unique key, and then stored in the NAND.

And this is what worries me. Because from what I am seeing the downgrade methods are not complete. Something is being left on the system that is causing all the weird ass glitches people seem to be getting.

 

[Kioku]

No, twitter. lol

oo.. Who? There's a twitter now?

Exactly. So not worth risking a brick, or worse, not being able to access cfw properly again.

I'm on 10.3 got my N3ds at launch in Australia (used to work for EB Games) and I can't afford to replace it if it bricks lol

Problems are bound to arise when shit gets released before it's ready.

MM launch edition as well here. Paid nearly $400 for that bitch because it was sold out within 4 hours of the announcement email from nintendo. Apparently gamestop was taking preorders upwards of 72 hours before the announcement went out.

The problem is no one is willing to address it apparently. People are treating it as working 100% when done properly and that is clearly not the case judging by the large number of people with random bugs after downgrading.
