2.1.0-3: Difference between revisions

The 2.1.0 system version ~~is a Old3ds version only.~~

The 2.1.0-3 system version released on June 15, 2011 for the original Nintendo 3DS.

~~However~~, ~~this version was used a lot because in this version is still possible to dump~~ the ~~otp in arm9 kernel mode due to a bug~~.

The official patch notes for this firmware notes "Improvement to system stability and convenience."

~~So,~~ this ~~version was used~~ to ~~dump the otp.bin necessary to install (the now outdated) Arm9LoaderHax~~.

~~This version has a lot of bugs, for example spider (a browser exploit in arm9 kernel mode), the colors has lots of weird glitches, and can brick Old 2ds and New3ds/2ds if you do the following:~~

~~If you format an old2ds you aren't able to complete the Setup because~~ the system ~~tells you to turn on the 3D, but since the 2ds doesn~~'~~t have this feature you are in~~ a ~~softbrick that is recoverable with~~ a ~~copy of Cubic Ninja or with NtrBootHax~~.

Beginning in early 2016, 2.1.0-3 was installed onto the system's NAND as a necessary installation step for arm9loaderhax, to retrieve a console-specific OTP dump.

~~If you format a New3ds you will brick because~~ the ~~system will act~~ as ~~an old3ds.~~

As this firmware naturally didn't release for any console aside from the CTR-001 Nintendo 3DS, installation on newer devices nets known issues such as corrupted screen data, softlocks, and potential to software brick on FTR-001/Nintendo 2DS units upon formatting the console.

~~If you go in Sleep Mode~~ on ~~a New3ds, if you re~~-~~open~~ the console ~~the screens are still black and you have bricked~~
