Luma3ds: 11.8.0 Critical Issue. Luma 3DS Patched. Luma Update Required.

[Merik2013]

I'm sure many of you working on the CFW already know this or soon will by the time you're reading this, but I figured someone needed to post this in Issues regardless. I don't see much need to fill this in with too much detail as the details in this case aren't available to a user such as myself and the problem affects ALL versions of Luma3DS.

I will add this though for reference. This update did NOT patch B9S (I doubt Nintendo really has a way to do that to begin with), just Luma3DS. As a result, if someone were to update to 11.8.0 they just need to follow these instructions to boot into the Native Firm temporarily while we wait for a solution to this issue on your end.

1. Download the appropriate NATIVE_FIRM for your device here (https://mega.nz/#F!uNhHQTCJ!EEndzd7lfv97skLBTUelRw).

1. Rename the file you downloaded to native.firm and copy it to /luma/ on your SD card.
   
   
   
   1. Reboot your device holding SELECT; this will open the Luma3DS configuration menu.
   
   
   2. Scroll down to Enable loading external FIRMs and modules and enable it.
      
      (It should look like: (x) Enable loading external FIRMs and modules.)
   
   
   3. Press START to save the new Luma3DS' configuration settings and reboot the device.

It's not a critical issue and it's fixed in https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/commit/89cc6ede1a5dc3f846cf508c5f698a869e9e1018

boot.firm.zip
Treat it as a nightly. It does boot, but the changes since 9.0 aren't necessarily stable

[Shadow322]

[greninjaman1998]

How do i get the latest native

Please help

Can we use the latest 9.1 Luma on a 3DS which still has 11.7?
Are there any cons to doing this? And if so how would one go about using 9.1 with non 11.8 consoles?

For a 11.8 console, do we only need the Luma 9.1 boot.firm or do we need something else?

@Shadow322 It works fine the standard way, 11.7 or 11.8. The updated Kernel9Panic pattern shouldn't have any issues even on much lower firmware versions than latest.

Just boot.firm.
