=== 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.

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]].
