Hacking [Suspended] ARM11 kernel access project

If the only thing 9.5+ N3DS users can't do is downgrade, can we region swap and install CFW and all the other cool stuff?

Then what benefits does an arm 11 exploit present to a 9.9 n3ds ninjhax user?
I think you PROBABLY didn't check the first page


Basically, all you need to install .cias is ARM11 kernel access. But these can only be signed .cias, ARM9 kernel is needed for unsigned .cias. There is downgrading protection with system apps and normal apps, however it's flawed: You can delete an app and then install it directly afterwards, effectively making these protections void. Thus the MSET downgrade hack was formed. So in theory, if you had ARM11 kernel access you could do this remove->install trick on all system apps and modules, including the NATIVE_FIRM title. To remedy the two stored straight on the NAND used by the bootloader, you actually already have the xorpads needed for those. If you know what version you're already on, you can use that NATIVE_FIRM image to retrieve an xorpad for it, and use that xorpad to write an older NATIVE_FIRM (note, these are still signed FIRM images here). This probably isn't possible though for the N3DS, due the fact that the 9.6 and up NATIVE_FIRM binaries are stuck behind new encryption. You could at least though return some usermode exploits I suppose.

You might say though, why not just write the NATIVE_FIRM only? This could maybe work for a few firmware versions with minimal updates relying on new stuff in the FIRM, but if the firmware introduced any significant changes it will most likely fail to work.

What do you mean? This gives way to an arm9 exploit which will give you FULL access to your device and allows you to install things like cia files and games and gba vc injection

He has nothing to show. It's another of these "I will do X but i have nothing to show right now" threads.

I don't think anyone here is trying to stop him.
Yeah, but he was just saying he is busy looking for the exploit, just wait for him to finish it then maybe he will release it when he actually makes it/finds the exploit, its not fake, he is just researching.
 
he should change the title to "searching for exploits", cause the title right now is a lie
 
Well does anyone here know how to insert ribbon cables on a 3ds properly? I was trying to insert my mic cable for a while and i still cannot get it in....
