Hacking Official Corbenik - Another CFW for advanced users (with bytecode patches!)

[The Catboy]

There's no reboot patch, so your experience may not be perfect. Should work, though. Let me know.

At least you plan on adding it and that's worth the testing for me!

RTFM

Features.txt is not so accurate as it does not show GBA (G) or TWL (T) as features of Luma3DS. But after reading it appears no and may be added later. Interesting project.

Fix'd. That was more a derp when documenting than actually intending to leave it out. Accuracy is my aim.

I've moved all the docs to the wiki now.

May want to add GBA boot animation while you're at it

Just hangs on patching firmware for me. I'll keep playing with it.

Can you enable ''Debug Pauses" in options and just hit A until it hangs, and tell me what the last messages were? I'm going to make an update that logs to the SD so users will be able to provide that, but...

That right there is a cool feature

Config file loaded
Loadering Firmware...
FIRM triggered.
[kdn!
Failed to decrypt firmware.
This is fatal. Aborting.
patching firmware...

I am using the firmware key from my CakesFW folder.

Huh. Odd. It's loading the firmkey, performing aes, and not getting the expected output. Not to mention, it shouldn't be falling through to 'patching firmware...' like that. That's unrelated, though.

Are you 100% sure you're using the correct firmkey for your firmware file?

 

[Wolfvak]

Works fine for me, you have to place the firmware file from the CDN as "/corbenik/firmware/native" and the firmkey (which you can find anywhere) as "/corbenik/keys/native.key" (old3DS here btw). However, I found two bugs: first one is that if I didn't place the TWL firmware or the AGB firmware it'd get stuck ("TWL_FIRM\n[!", same for AGB), second one is that it completely locks in "Patching firmware..." (even with all patches disabled)

Overall, great job @chaoskagami! I knew you were gonna have this style of patching, but going with a VM was unexpected.

EDIT: By the way, my native firm decrypted with [kdnesp], if that's useful

It's the very same keys from my CakesFW file, which I am running CakesFW right now.

If you need help setting up or an explanation as to what Corbenik does, you are very obviously not the target audience for this. Save your breath and save OP's time.

Intentionally ignoring questions isn't really helping anyone. At the very least someone could say what the main differences are between Luma and this/Cakes. Then no one would have to ask.

Okay, then. Weird. Anyways, I have some suspicions as to the issue, so another build will be incoming once I've done some testing.

 

[Februarysn0w]

ok, worked. if you put "native file" < 11.0. you have to disable downgrade patch.
and I understood what opcode is.

 

[laharl22]

there are a firmkey for 11.0? maybe the issue its i use an old version for 10.4

 

[cearp]

just curious, in the op you said you didn't tag smea but he is still tagged?
or you added the tag after editing, and that doesn't alert them or something...?
good work i guess. so it's worthy of a separate cfw and not a pull request to something already existing, i'm no expert
good luck

Thanks. Yeah, this isn't a PR type thing, it's more than >80% original.

I think I've found this issue with both @Wolfvak's report as well as the other one, so I'll be uploading another build before I go to bed for the night.

Hi there, just like to ask something about Corbenik.
Set it up like you said in the readme, renamed the file to native and got it inside the firmware folder along with agb and twl. For the firmkey I renamed it native.key, same goes for the rest as agb.key/twl.key. Managed to get into the config screen, apply a few necessary patches and options to my liking. Tried the firm load and it gave me [__fp] for all 3 native/twl/agb while top screen displaying the native_firm version (11.0) along with agb and twl version. However when i boot firmware, all i receive is a black screen. Using ctrbootmanager9 to boot the payload. Would be great if you can help me out with this. Thanks
PS: Just want to ask whether using native_firm <11.0 is possible with corbenik too.
