Hacking [Suspended] ARM11 kernel access project

[DiegitusXD]

If it works.

Oh...

 

[MassExplosion213]

Oh...

If we can't get a kernel exploit working, nothing would be able to run it.

 

[AliTheAce]

Isn't it possible to gain access to AM:NET/AM:U or NIS without Kernel access, to allow cia installation? Just wonderi g.

Well.I believe you can do it!

 

[Feroz El Mejor]

No, in 9.5, firmlaunch was patched. And so if you don't have youtube, well..

I have Youtube, in my message I said it. I have O3DS with 9.5.0-22 with Youtube.

 

[Woody8275]

If it works.

The kernel exploit you are working on will it use homebrew launcher to start

 

[Jiro2]

Do we have any reason whatsoever to believe this is legitimate?

To quickly answer your question: No
You can think whatever you want. I trust him, He has atm no proof

wait so this has gone from ARM11 kernel hack to a youtube replacement for 9.4 - 9.5

No, they were just discussing entry points.

The ARM11 kernel hack won't be dependent on any particular entry point, so discussing them is off topic.

Is there a way to load custom game patches from an SD card without kernel? (like NTR's layeredFS).
That's my only want on higher firmwares, but who am I kidding, I left mine on a low firmware.

According to Smea, yes, with some trickery.

Sorry if this question has been answered before, but I read through the topic and I couldn't find an anwser.

I know that MassExplosion mentioned that arm11 kernel exploit means downgrading is possible. Does that mean even if you don't have a nand backup of a previous firmware? So if I'm on 9.9 I can downgrade to 9.2 without a backup? Or is a nand backup required?

Without backup.

Without backup.

Wow that's amazing
So even if you only find an arm11 exploit I can still downgrade and get arm 9 on 9.2

The hype is real

We're working on getting browserhax running too. But it'll be just another entrypoint.

for userland... :/

Why not just use tube/iron/oot/smash hax as an entry point? They're already available and most people interested in this probably already have one of them.

Then again, my knowledge about this stuff is pretty much nonexistent, so I'm guessing you have a reason

That's because anyhax (except Ninjhax 1) utilizes userland for all it's functions, so it's a level near the very surface of the system that is used for homebrew like emulators. For downgrading/cia/dynarec, kernel access is required for accessing the lower parts of the system, which are the NAND as well as the ARM9 CPU, which handles the system security. It's one reason the 3DS is really secure: It has an entire CPU core dedicated to security, and it's almost impossible to communicate with externally, be it via IR or with a pinout. That's why kernel exploits are very rare and hard to find.

So if a arm11 kernel exploit is released then can i use sysupdater and downgrade to 9.2?. Because i have a 3ds xl at 9.9 without a nand backup. Also, why does flashing another devices nand cause a brick?

I was too late to enter the 3ds hacking/homebrew scene, the 3ds was updated from 9.2 6 months ago without a nand backup

It would brick your device as it is using someone else nand which are all encrypted with their own personal key that only their device has. Also attempting to downgrade with sysupdater can be dangerous as there is a possibility of user error that they miss with something that you are not supposed to which would brick your device.
