Homebrew [Update] Clearing Things Up With 11.0.0-33

[Pikm]

Sorry if this looks like a repost, but here's some information on the update that would interest most people;

NATIVE_FIRM was updated
*Hax Payloads work if you rename them accordingly (you don't have to rename with oot3dhax)
It is SAFE to update your system if you have A9LH (make sure your CFW has firm protection)
SVCHAX is PATCHED! I ran the svchax_test on my N3DS, and it printed a "FAILED".
Make sure you have a NAND backup of 10.7 in case something goes wrong.
NTR works on New 3DS (tested by me)

Welp, they really did hit us hard. Glad to know payloads and CFW still work.

Wait so oothax works without CFW?

Nope only works if you have cfw as of right now at least.

I don't understand what svchax is, what functionality existed before that is now lost with the new update?

I'm an arm9loader user so I updated without hesitation.

They took out a kernel-mode function that was useful for downgrading and, to a lesser extent, for things that use JIT (i.e. RetroArch). However, the latter (JIT) should be able to be fixed eventually.

also, smealum said something about implementing ASLR... what does this do to Gateway Cheats?

They stubbed out svcBackdoor (on k11) but they left the underlying kernel exploit intact though. And there's talk of a workaround to get AM:U access still.

As long as I have a copy of my OTP there is absolutely no reason to ever need to downgrade right? Bummer that downgrading is gone now.

Nothing as long as you're not trying to cheat on OoT or CN.

You could still use the CIA version of sysUpdater to downgrade your sysNAND or emuNAND, but there's not a lot of point.

WAITING THE 11.0 TO BE HACKED

Should I update my EmuNand? FBI etc. are on there and I don't want to lose their functions

 

[Just Passing By]

Emunand's fine. Go ahead and update. The update really only affects those on >9.2.

No neeed to worry, backup the emu before updating in case of anything.It's fine with ur 9.0~9.2 sys.

Alright thanks for clearing it up for me guys . I'll make a emu backup just to be sure.

FYI SVCHAX is patched and it isnt at the same time. They have not fully patched the exploit its just memory gets read randomly now.
Its fixable in the future

So cheating, other than save editing and possibly NTR save states, on OoT/CN is impossible for now I assume. Also, for things like JIT do you think it would be easier for the emulator developers to fix it or to just add svcBackdoor back in at the cfw level.

Maybe they could just make Retroarch an A9LH payload? But from what I'm reading they didn't actually kill SVCHax, so, apparently "it's just a code wound" (couldn't resist).

Witch option in luma give the firm protection? I'm just a lit afraid. Eather way I have a backup from my sys, but...

ARM9LoaderHax and FIRM write-protection
Booting with arm9loaderhax is auto-detected, and whenever you load SysNAND on A9LH all FIRMs are automatically patched to prevent overwriting A9LH or bricking.
This also makes you be able to always safely perform a system update from A9LH.
