Homebrew Update 11.7 and Homebrew

[NightShadow8599]

Which hax are you using?

In case there's no work around, are you considering installing full CFW at some point if not already?

I'm getting a flashcart here soon but I want to get into home brew. The hax i am using are rpg and basehaxx.

@NightShadow8599, you hit the jacked pot (keyword, jacked not jack). Give this man some likes for his discovery.

Calling @GalladeGuy , think we got our first two confirmed haxes that didn't make it this round.

I'm going to wait for confirmation from more people before adding it. If they are really patched, it's just a case of them needing to be updated.

Thanks for letting me know that they may not work. I'll just wait for my flashcart

Wasn't basehaxx already dead under 11.6, as per https://3dbrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Exploits ?

I would have thought RPwnG was dead as well, but I guess people must still have the old installation kicking around.

Its rather funny to think by this time that ninty has a actual way of patching cfw.

Actually there are several ways they could do it. The only real way, and keep in mind this is both theoretical and would be extremely risky, is to update the MCU firmware so that on boot the MCU injects extra verification/security code into the boot process via DMA or a similar mechanism.

Other than that they could heavily encrypt/obfuscate the areas of memory that CFW patches which would result in any 3ds with CFW being unusable for anywhere from a few weeks to a few months depending on how complex it is to reverse engineer. Or they could simply delete or rename any .firm file found on the NAND and/or the root of the SD card which would stop b9s from working though that could be fixed by switching to fastboot3ds.

Basehaxx and rpg hax wasn't patched last update or 11.6. They may be patched on this update or 11.7

I am using B9S with Luma. Can I update without problems ?

I'm sure you can if you have gm9 backup you system.

Spoiler

Try this first:
https://3ds.hacks.guide/finalizing-setup#section-vi---ctrnand-luma3ds

• Run the setup_ctrnand_luma3ds.gm9 script in GodMode9. Try booting the 3DS again without the SD card after you do that.

If ctrnand and CTRtransfer doesn't work, try Lazarus3DS.

Not sure whether the 3DS is capable of still working with its internal NAND chip physically damage. I've seen someone do a crazy hardmod where they removed their actual hardware NAND and made an micro SD card + adapter for external swapping (can't find the link of who did this). If that part is true, you may have to resort to EmuNAND.

Edit - Sorry guys, I meant to post at this thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/can-internal-storage-go-bad.507908/#post-8084661
Please ignore and mods delete this.

Updated and everything still works, freeshop, Luma, FBI, Checkpoint, Anemone.

People, im using safehax+soundhax in 11.4 still, it still works or if update i lose It?

 

[mehmeh11]

I have luma (I think 9.1) and sighax, is it safe to update?

Soundhax hasn't worked for awhile.
You can use your soundhax to get a proper b9s install before you update.

afaik latest luma is 9.0, but anyway, if you have luma and sighax/boot9strap it's safe to update

I use rpg hax for homebrew and I can't access it anymore after updating either... So that might be a thing now. Also i'm quite new to this, are there any known ways/steps I can undertake to get it working again?

If you want to access the Homebrew Launcher, you'll need Steelminer. You could use oot3dhax if you have a Powersave, but it seems new Powersaves for 11.7 haven't been made yet. Alternatively, if you have access to another 3ds still capable of launching the Homebrew Launcher, you can use that to install oot3dhax or stickerhax to an Ocarina of Time or Sticker Star cart (with a payload appropriate for your system.)

Or you can just forget about *hax completely, buy Sudoku for $2 from the eShop, and use Seedminer to install cfw.

Sorry, but I'm kinda dumb. I installed Luma and use it to play backups and homebrew. Updating won't affect that usability, right?

Okay, but l will need a friend/online-person-with-homebrew for Steelminer to work right? l really liked RPwnG for the fact that you didn't need anything else besides the free part of the game and some online files :/

Just follow the instructions at http://steelminer.jisagi.net/ .

I might add that if you have access to an ntrboot cart, you can launch godmode9 without making any persistent changes to your 3ds beyond copying a couple of files to your SD card. Godmode9 will automatically create essential.exefs (which includes movable.sed) the first time it runs. The R4i Gold 3DS Plus is reasonably cheap at nds-card.com , will let you run Nintendo DS ROMs on your 3ds, and will be handy if you ever change your mind about installing cfw.

If https://3dbrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Exploits is accurate, it was quickly squashed.
