Switch TrustZoneHax on 4.x

​
The ReSwitched Hacking Team have done it again. motezazer, ktemkin and SciresM have achieved code execution on 4.1.0, the latest version at the time of writing this, via deja vu at TrustZone level. This means devices on 4.1.0 and below will be able to gain access to the whole system. SciresM strongly advises to not update in the future.

After less than a year, the Switch hacking team has moved extremely fast and now have got full access on the latest version. The progress being made is incredible, and in comparison, the 3DS took around 2 years to get ARM9 access. The scene is looking very promising so far and we are very lucky to have such talented people working on the Switch.

I've been downloading as many games as I can and have blocked updates in preparation for news like this. @SciresM is legit a hacking wizard. Just a bit ago we knew Deja vu existed on 4.x but required new privilege escalation due to older exploits being patched, but man he and the others got that escalation fast. Good job to everyone involved, and I can wait to see an eventual release (even if it takes a while)
I previously updated past 3.0.0 because my game library simply wasn't large enough to be worth staying. But now that I have plenty of games and still have access to them until an update comes out, I should be set abs ready to stay where I am until we see something come from this.

I'm considering doing that myself. I'm doing basically nothing with my 2.2.0 Switch right now.
Maybe that "really really long" wait ends up being the time necessary for the homebrew scene to develop all the cool and useful stuff for end users. Maybe day-1 homebrew won't be of much use for end users like us.

Also, the Switch scene is moving incredible fast. It's kinda amazing what this guy Scires is doing.

First of all, thx to all devs for their works. And I want ask, can we trust @SciresM ? I mean we are updating latest firmware for hacking :rofl2:, in the near future it can be a problem? Maybe 4.0.1/4.0.0 better than 4.1.0???

Again, thx and good work!:)

Thx for reply, I am on 4.0.1 or 4.0.0 (I dont remember now). Updating to 4.1.0 (via internet because latest update still 4.1.0) is safe?
Click to expand...

Yes, but it's the cut off. Do not go past 4.1.0, there's no guarantee for future firmware.

that's just a default dns, you should probably set it to the one provided.

No, you misunderstand. The first DNS is set to the one on the blog, but the second one was all 000.000.000.000. I didn't change it, when I went from Auto to Manual, it made
both all zeroes. What do we change the second DNS to?


Edit: Same as first

:D They said 3.0.0 will be latest lol
Click to expand...
3.0.0 was latest until they got it to work on 3.0.1 and 3.0.2
Now they got it to work up to 4.1.0 which doesn't mean it will work on a newer firmware.

Maybe it is so major that nintendo will never be able to patch it... only the entry points

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    run h2testw on it
