Homebrew Update: 10.6.0-31 Homebrew Status

[Pikm]

Yes, I updated, no I'm not stupid, I just only care about homebrew to the point of emulators and save editing. Plus, menuhax with fixed with path editing in the theme shuffle, so that should be possible for yellows8 to reverse engineer. Anyway, here's the status of homebrew from personal testing and gathered information:

ENTRY POINT EXPLOITS:

Browserhax= DEAD on 10.6 firmware. All systems, no exceptions, etc.

Menuhax= DEAD on 10.6 firmware. All systems, no exceptions, etc.

OoT3Dhax= WORKING on 10.6 firmware, with updated payload.

Ninjhax= WORKING on 10.6 firmware, with updated payload.

Smashhax= WORKING (most likely) The update didn't contain a patch for this, but honestly it's the least convenient method of homebrew thus far, even worse than browserhax, so nobody really uses it unless an emergency arises. (Ex: exploits being closed off, etc.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMUNANDS/CUSTOM FIRMWARES/OTHER

RxTools= WORKING

NTR CFW 3.3= WORKING

NTR Plugin= WORKING (Confirmed on Gateway & ReiNAND)

ReiNAND CFW 3.3= WORKING

Cakes FW= WORKING

Gateway Emunand + Menu Selector= WORKING

AuReiNAND= WORKING

(Working Emunands means that when you update the Emunand itself to 10.6 firmware, it works. I don't know why you would have an emunand on the latest sysNand in the first place, but okay.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emunands work, I think, but don't quote me on that unless I update the post. Ironhax is still KIA, so please don't ask about that. Anyway, there you go!

@MyLegGuy Okay, but the amount of cares given are none. Thanks for the self esteem boost.

10/10
Most unique thread ever.
Not a single other thread like it for 10.6.


Oh, my bad.
There's three others.

Both say Browserhax and Menuhax are patched.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious. The only reason I made this was to give people the information, simply, and in a clean format.

Question: If RXtools works but menuhax doesn't, does that mean my emunand will no longer load automatically when I turn my 3ds on? Menuhax is what did that, no? So now i would have to access my emunand through the browser? Clearing that up would be nice. Thanks.

Rxtools working means that when you update your emunand to 10.6, it works.

Your Menuhax runs on Sysnand, it then loads your CFW who loads your Emunand partition, so no, updating your Emunand won't break Menuhax.

your menuhax is on your sysnand which is 9.2 or lower

Is hardmod downgrade fine?

He was looking at it through the sysNAND sense i think. But I don't see why you would have an emuNAND on 10.5 sysNAND anyway.

 

[MsMidnight]

Is hardmod downgrade fine?

Yes. The native_firm wasn't updated

 

[Neru]

Yes. The native_firm wasn't updated

Ahh ok

 

[Maelphin]

Thank you very much for clearing that up for me : D This is awesome : )

 

[Pikm]

Is hardmod downgrade fine?

Probably. Nintendo only patched vulns in the Internet browser and the Home menu. They didn't touch anything else according to the yls8 mtheall page. So if you have a hardmod, go ahead.

Gonna test and update reiNAND (emuNAND) to 10.6. Theoretically it should be still working, but if anything goes wrong, I got my trusty NAND backup.

Also, unrelated question: what does a NAND backup contain exactly? Is it like everything that the 3DS has internally (system firmware, ticket.db file, etc.)?

EDIT Aaand reiNAND loads flawlessly. You can cross that of the list. I think all CFWs should be working since nothing really affected them.

OoT3Dhax= WORKING on 10.6 firmware, with updated payload.
