=== Update Failure ===

In some cases the system failed to install the updated NATIVE_FIRM to the NAND [[FIRM]] partitions, thus the system still [[Bootloader|booted]] from the previous version of the [[FIRM]] stored in the NAND partition which was not written to. This then caused launching the updated System Settings and eShop applications mentioned below to fail, since application [[NCCH#CXI|CXIs]] built with the updated CTR-SDK moved the logo data from the ExeFS to a separate NCCH section.

This update failure was fixed with [[5.1.0-11]]. When this [[FIRM]] install fails with this update the [[System Settings#System Updater|System Updater]] is still accessible via the [[Configuration_Memory|UPDATEFLAG]] PAD button-combo, since the System Updater title was not yet updated when the FIRM install failed.

===Applications===

System Settings, System Transfer, and eShop (including the mint applet) were updated.

Home Menu, Game Notes, Instruction Manual, ErrDisp, and Internet Browser were updated.

Home Menu, Game Notes, Instruction Manual, ErrDisp, and Internet Browser were updated. ErrDisp now displays more debug info on dev/debug units, including what exactly triggered a data/prefetch abort etc.

NATIVE_FIRM and the whitelist were updated. NGWord and the NZone hotspots title were updated as well.

Multiple NATIVE_FIRM ~~code execution~~ vulnerabilities were fixed, this includes all known ~~usable NATIVE_FIRM~~ code execution vulns at the time of ~~writing as well~~.

Multiple NATIVE_FIRM vulnerabilities were fixed, this includes all known Process9 PXI-service code execution vulns at the time when the update was released. These were vulns in [[FIRM|Process9]] PXI services, the ARM11-kernel flaws which were fixed do not allow ARM11 kernel-mode code-execution. The system does not delete/block 3DS savegame haxx at all with this update, however the code execution haxx used by this was fixed.

The system can now optionally load the [[NCCH#CXI|CXI]] logo from a cleartext region in the CXI instead of from ExeFS. NATIVE_FIRM versions prior to 5.0.0-11 can't access the logo data in applications built since 5.0.0-11. Therefore regardless of gamecard system-updates, applications built since 5.0.0-11 can only be run with the 5.0.0-11+ NATIVE_FIRM. Note that only home menu seems to use the NCCH logo data, system modules like [[NS]] don't use the logo data.

A new command was added for [[Application_Manager_Services_PXI|AMPXI]].
