Hacking [Tested]How to stop 5.5.2 force updating no use block dns and no firmware install pack

[Deleted member 355359]

I'm waiting til someone can confirm that there's a way to recreate the folder to be able to update again. Seems like you can only delete the folder but not recreate it, from what I've read a few posts back.

Probably due to permissions. Perhaps wupserver can do it?

yep

I believe u can modify file permissions with chmod in the wupserver command line.

yes you can

Just did it and auto obtained DNS
Thank you so much!!!

 

[Effi]

yeah... I'm kinda f***** here then.

I'm going to try to find the update files online and paste them using the ftpiiu and hopefully this fix this.

On RedNAND or SysNAND?

You don't need mocha if using haxchi
Haxchi also has dispatches

So if I'm understanding this correctly, this guide will essentially prevent future updates by removing the location of which updates would be stored. Does that also mean one could remove DNS blocks and take advantage of online services/multiplayer?

Yes. Though you'll still need to run nnu patcher on a lower fw than the latest for online eshop and online stuff

Yeah, but I'm confused, can I recreate the update folder on Sysnand in the future, if I'll decide to update in the future?

Can I recreate the "update" folder if I'd like to update in the future?

Yes. You can refer to my tutorial in the tutorial section for deeper instructions

Thanks, but I've already drleted it without any special configuration.
I hope it's fine.

It should be. That's (hopefully) just extra precaution

Anyone asking: with ftpiiu in particular it will recreate the folder with permission.

What do you mean by that? (I've already deleted the "update" folder...)

You're the man now, Dong!

For you with problems getting the 105-3012 to go away, I clicked out and in the settings in download management, then I clicked Haxchi after again, the box frezzed and then the problem was gone. I run rednand, but do not know if it will work on sysnand. I do not know if just click haxchi again will work. I can not try again

V 5.5.2 is exploitable, so I guess we can recreate the "update" folder, then update to 5.5.2, and delete the folder again

 

[Badablek]

there is no advantage to update to 5.5.2.

• online play is still OK on 5.5.1
• eshop and game updates work (after some nnupatcher-hbl magic)
• you can keep web browser AND haxchi entry points
• the update's folder trick works so nicely (thanks Shaoxudong) that we don't even have to care about automatic updates nor use any specific DNS

5.5.1 stays the best firmware, with very good entry points.
and BTW, 5.5.2 exploit is not reliable (for now at least)

I’m already on 5.5.2, I was hoping to use this to prevent further updates but it seems 5.5.2 just creates the folder if it’s missing. I deleted it then pressed update and got the normal up to date message, no error, I then went back in via FTP and the folder was back. can anyone confirm this? I hope I did something wrong.

Edit:
I just did it again and the folder has not returned. I don’t get an error when trying to update but I probably won’t until there’s something to download right?
