-NOTICE: January 11th http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/01/extended_nintendo_network_maintenance_on_the_way
-Menu/Iron/Browserhax all work on the latest firmware again! DON'T DELAY in getting Homebrew.
-memchunkhax2 is a kernel11 exploit that allows downgrading to 9.2, and works on every firmware including 10.3.
>Is downgrading safe?
Things are going pretty well. Some bricks are simply people using the wrong firmware. Be sure you understand the risks.
-A libkhax variant of mch2 sysUpdater compiled by julian20 implements the safest settings so far
-Getting the downgrader to even start can require many tries, especially with New 3DS. Opening and closing an FTP app supposedly helps.
-Blank screen can be caused by Menuhax. Try pulling your SD card if you get it. Boot, reinsert, change theme.
>Wii U
-Apparently, the Wii U and 3DS use the same fucking keys... LOL
-Hykem is being weird.
>PS4
-Linux can run on PS4. Thanks /g/.

Easy way to run DSiWare on an unlinked emunand?
From old thread
>go into emunand

>confirm format
>it freezes as soon as the confirmation box closes
I-is this normal? What'd I do?
>mfw I got 9.5.0-23E emu to work on 9.1.0-20J n3ds
Feels fucking good man
Please help my retard ass:
New3DS, was at 9.6, downgraded to 9.2.0, had a "an error has occurred" at the end of it, but still made it to 9.2.0. Things like Pasta,Minipasta, RX tools, gateway, etc will not run at all. Should I update and then downgrade again?
>>127744415
>>go into emunand
>>hit format
You fucked up.
If you just reencrypt the NAND, couldn't you downgrade N3DS to 4.5?
>>127744415
>remove SD card
the whole point of emunand is that it's a fake nand loaded from the sd card
removing the sd card causes it to be unable to load, and crashes your 3ds
backup your emunand before formatting
Region free EU games can be played on US O3DS, right?
>>127744415
>go into emunand
>hit format
I hope you have your backup.
How do I get into HBL from the app? When I do it it just brings me to the bootloader (since I have CRT setup). I need to do it to update my emunand.
>>127744595
>>127744632
Shit, okay thank you. It's backed up. I literally haven't done anything else, so, no worries.
>finally fucking worked
Which games should I put on this baby?
I already physically own the mainstream titles.
Can you pirate the streetpass plaza dlc?
>>127744595
He's unlinking it. You don't need your SD when unlinking it.
i followed this guide and can't get autobooting to work: http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji
even tried the autobootfix = 200
I have a problem with my \dbs
See image.
Multiple \dbs locations on \Nintendo 3DS and one that leads to only an \exdata folder.
Going to ask again because I'm seriously unsure if it's worth it to Unlink my nands.
>I have rxTools set to coldboot
>I've got apps and shit on emunand, nothing that I know of aside from menuhax obviously on sysnand.
>backed my sd card up a lot.
What would I have to do after unlinking my nands? I'm guessing I'd need to reinstall menuhax to coldboot again, but what all would be lost? And is it even worth it if I don't have the present glitch thing?
>>127744731
oh fug, I wanna know this too
Question concerning the second pastebin N3DS/downgrade section Julian sysUpdater; twofold as it didn't seem to be answered in the OP/no pictures like previous pastebins.
Do you require the KhaxInit:Done for proper downgrading, (meaning if it ever says failed, it'll never work), and when you get it at Done, hit Y to downgrade, should anything show up, or does it stay unchanged during the downgrade?
I got the downgrade to fire 3 times last night on a different SysUpdater, but nothing stuck, just ended up with the Error screen, and Recovery moded back to 10.3 to start again. Pretty frustrating so far, considering a friend of mine has gotten two to work within < 10 tries.
>>127744342
No.
Just boot gateway and format your emunand with that.
Hey n3ds fags
I'm on an o3ds and tried to boot my physical MM3D in sysnand. It blocked me and an update to 9.5 notification popped up. So if you have a MM3D cart you can avoid the hassle and just get it from there.
>>127744731
Yes.
Go for it space cowboy.
>>127744818
Yes, you need to install it all over again.
>>127744630
It says region free. What do you think?
>>127744752
>>127744685 here, now I'm really goddamned confused.
Just want to desync, yes. I don't want to lose my saves+legit games, so I am formatting the emunand and not sysnand. How do I do that?
I swear to fucking god this shit is so damn confusing, I threw my 3DS in a fit of rage.
cakes doesn't always work for me, it tends to black screen occasionally when trying to start it, is that normal?
I can't get rxtools to boot to the sysnand after installing menuhax. Is there a fix?
>>127744909
That's the problem though, I can't load gateway. It just sits there with the stupid loading screen and nothing happens. Same happens for rxtools.
Where can I get those custom startup images for menuhax?

>ads Cake files to SD card
>put SD card back into N3DS

I made an improved non-kickass starter pack.
It should have everything required point-to-point to get up and running from scratch (pre-downgrade) to rxTools (excluding the firmware files). I also took the liberty of rewriting the firmware .bat file to be more streamlined.
I wrote a pretty thorough readme for the entire process, but some wording is either vague or nonexistent so fleshing out those would be nice.
Also, it works during any part of the process so if you just downgraded and don't know what to do next you could follow along perfectly by starting to set up rxTools.
Thoughts and suggested improvements are appreciated.

You won't lose anything, I'll be all on your emuNand, except if you want to go all back and forth your nands, which is stupid.
>>127744960
LOL
upvoted
>>127744920
Is it worth the hassle though? The only thing I've seen that it offers (unless you really can't tell the difference between your sysnand and emunand) is the ability to use themes properly without fucking up coldboot. Aside from themes are there any positives to unlinked nands?
>>127744960
At least try to make it not show up in reverse image search
Were some saying it took an hour or more to install 1GB CIAs?

What's wrong with taking the SD card out? Is there any difference?
>>127745009
what sysupdater did you use?
it sounds like your kernel didn't actually get downgraded.
whats the difference between nxTools and cake?
Since most of you fgts are tech savvy and what not, is there an ez guide to go from pic related to pirated games? the pastebin and the flowchart are a little too complicated for me.

He wants to format his emuNAND, which you have to have the sd card inserted in order to do. How will you format something the system can't access?
>>127745214
Just do it with TinyFormat, it was made especially for this very reason.

Who has snacks ready for 10.4 day here? Dear god it will be the best entertainment in months.
>>127745009
Don't format with Gateway. Format with EMUNAND9.3dsx instead. It's more optimal for all the CFW including Gateway itself, and you don't even have to format the entire sd card.

>>127745319
yeah probably. do it before 10.4 is released. get julian's.
one of the very first downgraders wouldn't actually downgrade your kernel, you might have ended up with that.

I'm on the verge throwing my 3DS against the wall as hard as I can. I feel so fucking stupid throwing away everything because I got greedy. Can't find the CIA info is the worst fucking error and I can't do anything about it, since both the tux and julian builds look exactly the same. I delete the files, replace with the other, and the same menu text comes up and turns up the same failure.
>I'm going to system transfer to keep my mii plaza, and then downgrade both my n3ds and my o3ds again. Is this going to work, or will God punish me for my hubris and greed?
Truly, God exists and I'm suffering for my arrogance.

Than wait for better versions of everything.
Things will only get easier from now on.
>>127745378
Anything related to sysNand is stored on SD and if he format it without tinyformat, He'll lose everything related to his haxx, which yould be even more stupid.
>>127745521
I don't remember? I think yes, but in any case you could just open it while on sysNand.
>>127745167
took me 30 mins for 1.5gb
they probably have class 6 sd card or something.
When unlinking your NANDs by formatting from system settings, you want to turn off Wifi, right? You don't need tubehax, right?
After trying this for over an 2 hours...it's finally working!!!!! ;_;
>PLEASE DON'T SOFTBRICK
>PLEASE DON'T SOFTBRICK
>PLEASE DON'T SOFTBRICK
>PLEASE DON'T SOFTBRICK
Please work after I take this SD card out!
>>127745378
Wait, why would you format EmuNAND for unlinking? Formatting EmuNAND is an exact replica of your SysNAND right after downgrading, has all your previously-downloaded eShop games/saves/dlc, and lets you update+run unsigned .cias
If you decide to do that in sysnand, you are risking bricks with every .cia you try to install, if you aren't 100% certain about what you're doing
can some one help me inject my emunand backup with emunand tool? It gives me a error! Invalid Nand file size!
>>127745423
Will try friendo. Also, should l format my SD card before starting the guide? l dont think l'll need the files l used to downgrade and it was a brand new SD to begin with.
Right?

Browserhax freezes on this
h-help me ;__;
Alright so let me get this straight.
If I want to get emunand and CFW without worrying about coldboot on an original 3ds, all I need to do is
1) be on 9.2
2) Get whatever CFW I decide on
2) use fbi to install fbi
3) set up an emunand
3) unlink emunands by formatting the sysnand
4) update emunand to 10.3 from the system settings in emunand
5) profit?
Am I missing anything, or is that about the gist of it?
>>127745872
Mine does that rarely, just turn off and back on. it's annoying but uncommon. normally anyways.
>>127745446
>there are still waitfags
I have RXMode, but only 9.2, is that fine?
Playing Tri-Force Heroes, even though the site said 9.5 required. Or that was for the patches
I have the same issue and when it finally does downgrade I get an error on startup and have to update in safe mode. I have done this for 4 hours.
>>127745839
You don't have to format your sd card at the start. It'll get formatted in the middle of the guide.
>>127745872
ur fuked
>>127745802
Ohohoho mine worked in the first try but it was suffering since it froze on the "installation done restarting in 10 seconds..." just when l was reading that some other retard bricked his 3ds because he downloaded the wrong firmware.
Not fun at all
>>127745604
Are you using a mac? You have to dot_clean the /updates/ directory to prevent file-reading errors if you are
Double-check you're using the correct downgrade pack. O3DS and N3DS are two different packs
Also try different builds/entrypoints. I personally recommend menuhax+tux build sysupdater
I've heard people trying up to 100+ times before it finally worked too: It's complete RNG after the setup is correct.
>>127745802
Good luck, anon! You can do it!
>>127745872
Delete all your payloads because your 3ds is 9.2 and the old 10.3 payloads won't work

>been doing this shit for the past 5+ hours
>cake installed, about to get started on upgrading my emunand
Should I even bother upgrading emunand right now since it can only go to 9.5 on n3DS? Does it take awhile? I think I might just stop for tonight and pick it back up tomorrow
So I downloaded a gba cia from 3dschaos but when i try to boot it up after installing it, it crashes unand and makes me reboot
I think it might be because its virtual console cia
Where can i get non VC gba cias?
Or does anyone have a link to the gba emulator for 3ds so i can just get a rom?

>>127746016
Probably takes a while. Use profi200 sysupdater (the original).
If you have a JN3DS or Euro3DS look up which files you have to remove from /updates/ before attempting or EmuNAND will brick. Make a backup of emunand with emunand tool first so you can re-inject your emunand if it bricks.
>>127746090
Grats! Good luck setting up CFW
>>127745949
Get 9.5 if you are in N3DS and 10.3 if O3DS.
>>127745776
>Anything related to sysNand is stored on SD and if he format it without tinyformat, He'll lose everything related to his haxx, which yould be even more stupid.
You have no idea what you're talking about. sysNAND is stored on a chip inside of your 3DS. emuNAND is stored on a partition on your SD card. If you backup your SD card and format emuNAND, it has the same effect (unlinking your NANDs) as formatting your sysNAND with SD card removed. You just restore all your files when you're done and you're good.
>>127745996
Nope, I'm on Linux. Would I need to clean the folders anwyay? I am using the right packs. I've been flipping between the two and Tux doesn't look like it's any different, they both read as 0.4.2 by profi200 or something for some reason. I'm using menuhax as my entry. I just feel like it'll never happen and I fucked myself out of a CFW ready DS because I wanted my Miis. I'm so upset with myself.

Is anyone experiencing the same thing? If I use the home screen app, the system freezes and the bottom screen turns red. Same thing if I try to boot HBL menu from the bootmanager.
So I've spent the last 30 hours trying to get my new 3ds to work with rx tools to find out it doesn't fucking work.
( which explains why I got a black screen).
I feel worn out and I'm losing my sanity,
can someone link me a proper guide for NEW 3ds ?

I read that downgrading your firmware was the "easy" part. But I'm already exhausted over this. Maybe I should take a break now....
>>127746136
>not using hbm fbi to install a cia of fbi
nigga waht are you doin
What the fuck
I tried launching homebrew launcher after making an emunand and it took forever then booted me into some kind of gridlauncher
What happened?
Remember not to update to 10.4 when it comes out, EVEN IF Smealum says it's ok.
>>127746224
I don't know about Linux, but try looking for any hidden files your OS might have added to /updates/ because sysupdater is terrible at detecting the proper files (it literally grabs every file it sees in that folder)
Double-check the MD5 hashes for your downgrade packs, try different sd cards, but otherwise it's really just RNG and rebooting. I've heard people try up to 100+ times before it finally worked, so just be persistent.
You can also try opening FTBrony and closing it (press B twice) then open sysupdater immediately after.
>>127746339
As long as you have 10.3 and ironhax/menuhax installed, waiting is fine even after the 10.4 update... but if you softbrick on accident after 10.4 is out, you're fucked whether or not you actually brick, because you're forced to update.
Take a break at your own risk, lol

Are you absolutely sure you set it up properly? I set mine up earlier today, and I vaguely remember having to put the proper slot0x25key.bin file, firmkey.bin and firmware.bin files in the sdmc:/cakes/ folder
You also have to be on 9.2 or lower firm. Unsure if you've already downgraded or not but yeah

>>127746586
>Btw, is there a chance to brick your console doing the CFW stuff?
That's why EmuNAND exists. SysNAND exists to give you an entrypoint into EmuNAND (even better if you set it to coldautoboot into a cfw for emunand)
Make backup restore points for your EmuNAND with EmuNAND Tool before doing anything dangerous, and inject your EmuNAND back in if it fucked up afterward.
Can the whole "going back to sysnand after checking your emunand version with the wrench thingy" be disabled?

Asking one more time, I've already put rxtools on an original 3ds and everything has gone fine with my new 3ds so far but cakes wont load emunand for the final step.
I'm sure it must be one of these files that are not letting it load, any tips for this final step?
If you have autoboot crash into red/black screen, change theme in your EmuNAND.
Chances are you had Menuhax installed before creating EmuNAND and now it got copied over, changing theme will remove it from EmuNAND and your CFW will autoboot as it should!
To get into EmuNAND when having these crashes, just hold your Menuhax button after selecting CFW in CtrBootManager.

I feel like some of the internal hardware that comes from various companies affects the downgrade process, despite the models claiming to be the same. Maybe SD brand, too. Otherwise, it's just the random nature of the exploit itself, because everything has to somehow line up perfectly in the RAM or whatever in order for the exploit to even work, which can be tricky to make consistent when values are jumping all over the place internally.
Just a theory, though: I don't know how it actually works
>>127747002
Kind of redundant imo, just run pasta, get back in HBL and run FBI as a .3dsx
No harm in doing that, though: Just be careful which .cias you're installing to SysNAND: The only ones you really ever want to install are AGB_FIRM, TWL_FIRM, DS_whitelist, and all your DSi/GBA VC injection cias
>>127746509
O3DS or N3DS?
>>127747020
did you try installing it to both nands?
>>127747107
Can I run fbi from the HLB?
I don't remember seeing it there.
Then again, I noticed I had a game installed in both nands and I couldn't run it anyway so I guess I'm just wasting my time.
Or does it have to do with this twl thing?

CREATE THE FOLDER NOW OR AFTER EMUNAND GUYS
WHAT SHOULD I DO!?
>>127745179
downgrading? naw, I'm doing it all I needed was a small phillips(the '+' shape screwdriver).
Anyone having trouble with some homebrew apps not always opening? it looks to me every time I open something there's a 1 in 3 chance it doesn't load properly and I gotta reboot.
>>127747224
You can but you need to run pasta first.
Do I unlink my NANDs before or after installing CFW?
>>127747279
yeah just found my n3dsxl and saw it was phillips and not tri wing so just broke out my screwdriver yet.
How can i unlink NANDs keeping original sysNAND?
Option 1:
1) Bakcup "Nintendo 3ds" folder.
2) Format emuNAND through system settings.
3) Restore "Nintendo 3ds" folder.
Option 2:
1) Backup sysNAND and "Nintendo 3ds" folder.
2) Format sysNAND through system settings (removing sd card).
3) Format/Create emuNAND.
4) Restore sysNAND backup and "Nintendo 3ds" folder.
>>127747224
Download FBI (the official one, not the modified one) and put FBI.3dsx and FBI.smdh in sdmc:/3ds/FBI/
You have to get into a CFW before you can install any .cias or NAND patches (including TWL_FIRM) to SysNAND.
I'm not entirely sure, but I think most of the existing CFWs auto-patch a temporary fixed TWL_FIRM while you're running the CFW, so installing it+AGB_FIRM might be unnecessary afterall. Just install your GBA/DSi games to SysNAND, and install it to EmuNAND+SysNAND if you want to use it in EmuNAND.
>>127746905
Use rxtools 2.6 to complete the "Preparing home menu"
See that guy: http://gbatemp.net/threads/black-screen-after-update-emunand.408717/
Quick question, I'm going to go with Cakes for mine.
I see rxTools is set up to coolboot, but in the Cakes guide I'm looking for, it says it more convenient to coolboot to emunand.
Why is there this difference, and what does it mean?
I'm done helping. Good night.

please help me anons, im at my breaking point and i feel bad now due to my dumb mistake
>>127747353
If you want the original sysnand, format emunand. I don't recommend doing this, though: EmuNAND exists to prevent bricks, and formatting emunand literally takes your sysnand and copies it to your sd card
If you really wanted to revert, you can always just inject your EmuNAND's NAND.bin back into SysNAND via gateway launcher
Downgraded to 9.2. Now I'm trying to get browserhax working again but it keeps failing. Whenever I delete the history and cookies it doesn't go into initial setup when I go to the browser.
My N3DS is at 9.9.something, is that fine to just downgrade to 9.2 and go about the business?
>>127746585
>>127746589
So I can play it on my 10.xx 3DS
fuck downgrading
>>127747107
What are AGB_FIRM, TWL_FIRM, and DS_whitelist? I keep seeing them mentioned occasionally, and I know they're not important to playing stolen vidya, but I'm still curious
Ok so I replaced my "old" sysupdater with the one OP has in the pastebin. Now I get this.
>>127747527
bro if that was possible i don't think many people would give a shit about downgrading
there is a reason why "legit cia" is called legit cia
People who softbricked, which version of sysupdater eventually worked for you?
Still can't get MHX to work with Cake. EmuNAND is up to date and NTR is working as I'm able to run Rhythm Tengoku with it.
Can't get rxTools to boot with ctrBootManager either, despite using only the links provided in the pastebin and following every step to the letter.
How can I play JP games that aren't region free?
>>127747627
Just keep trying, eventually it'll bring you to the downgrade screen and hopefully you keep getting lucky
>>127747386
I thought rxtools doesn't work with n3ds though, only 2ds/o3ds.
>>127747627
power off, power on, try again
repeat ad nauseum (only took me 6 tries though)
it might fail to find the cias, still try again
>>127747379
I see, I looking for TWL_FIRM and DS_WHITELIST then.
>>127747527
You can't install CIAs without CFW.
thanks
>>127747597
AGB_FIRM: Firmware (FIRM) for Advanced Gameboy (AGB)
TWL_FIRM: DSi firmware
DS_whitelist: Unblocks ds-mode flashcarts that nintendo blocked over the course of update history, like gateway blue card
When you (or automatically by a CFW) patches those, it disables signature checking so you can run all of them properly without Nintendo's permission. Otherwise, you'll just crash as you attempt to run them
I downgraded and am now on 9.1.0J, but now none of the browserhax versions work. There's no update nag or anything, I just can't launch browserhax. What the fug do?
>2ds might not arrive in time
Anxiousbros ww@
If 10.4 hits, is it still possible to hack a fresh 2ds?
After downgrading I can delete "updates" folder right?
>>127747807
Where can I find those files?
I need to install them on sysnand but can't find them.
The cia HBLauncher loads the apps from the root:\3ds as always, right?
>>127747807
ah, thanks
you still have to install DSi and GBA games to both NANDs to run them, right? What causes that, anyway?
>>127746042
>I think it might be because its virtual console cia
>Where can i get non VC gba cias?
They don't exist.
If your NANDs are unlinked, you have to install it to both NANDs.
>emulators
Don't bother with them, they don't run well.
>>127747772
Actually you can with a patched version of FBI, but this method became obsolete literally hours later when tux released his sysupdater
That method is also very limiting, as you can only inject a limiting amount of legit cias: Yokai Watch is not on that list, as far as I'm aware
Whenever I boot into Cakes, it loops me back to CTR, and when I try to boot into Cakes again, I get solid red on the bottom screen
h-help me here
>>127747639
>>127747772
But it's possible, I've been following this thread:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-install-legit-cia-files-above-9-3.407854/
I just want to have Yokai Watch's legit .cia okay? Because it's on a bundled 2DS, I just have to wait someone to dump it. And I don't want to downgrade yet.
>Updates installed. Rebooting in 10 seconds...
>Still hasn't rebooted after 15 mins
So do I panic now or later?
>>127747147
Uuuh
Wait i can use the h&s app in sysnand?
Because its a cia i doenloaded on my pc so idk
Is ninjhax the only way to go for a N3DS XL?
>update emunand
>3DS restarts
>launch rxtools
>black screen
what did I doooo
>>127747886
>>127747909
You can find them in the same 3DSISO thread where all the update/downgrade packs are. You only have to install them on SysNAND, but should install them on both Sys and EmuNAND if you want to run them in EmuNAND.
It happens because running in emunand requires rebooting, which boots you back into sysnand (you don't actually see it, but that's what happens) so it looks for both the game and the FIRM on sysnand
>>127747740
It worked. I actually tapped on that slider a few times already but only now did it work.
post the collage
>>127747828
We don't know before it hits
>>127747919
Doesn't the mednafen GBA emulator work decently if you can get dynarec on it or something (.cia version only)?
>>127747986
It seems that you will have a soft brick. good luck
>>127747919
How does one install cias on the sysnand?
Inject the h&s into sysnand?
>>127748092
Run Pasta CFW for sysnand, get back in HBL, run FBI as a .3dsx and use it to install FBI.cia or DevMenu.cia
>>127747639
It is possible though.
>>127747772
You can.
>>127747986
You should more before pulling the plug.
Oh boy, I've just created my emuNAND and now I'm in the process of getting everything back to my sd. Only 4 hours of waiting for files to copy!
>>127745446
I got a 2DS coming in on Tuesday. What are the chances I'm fucked?
>>127747927
>>127747476
The problem with doing that is that after running cake, it boots back to the CtrBoot menu. So after Cake boots up, hold whatever key you set up to skip the alt boot and it should work fine.
>>127747828
As long as you don't let the browser know it's unupdated it won't lock you out and you'll be able to browserhax and go from there. There's dns servers to use when setting up your wifi which block Nintendo's update servers.
We're all gonna make it famicom.

>>127748076
And when I say mednafen I mean retroarch because I'm an idiot
Does the mednafen VB emulator provide 3d, by any chance?
>>127748043
Check if this is useful to you >>127747386
>>127748158
Do I have to do that every single time...
>>127748046
Found them, which is the one I want to play DSiWare?
>>127747856
yes
>>127748092
yes
or running fbi as a .3dsx in devmode apparently
What games are you playing, /b/?
>>127748141
Oooh
To clarify
So i go through homebrew, run h&s fbi as a 3dsx files, and install it on sysnand correct?
>>127748160
Why does it block me from using e shop even when I'm up to date?
>>127748297
Fuck off
guys pastebin not working on op for me
Finally, it's done...
Remaining questions: (I'm using Cakes)
1. How do I get my games that I've bought back onto here? will they show up in Emunand? I'm not actually sure where they are in the folder I backed up before I did all this.
2.Good place to get games?
3. o3ds user, I was told to go into System Settings in EmuNand and then update to update EmuNand but going into System Settings kicks me out of EmuNand. I'm not about to undo everything I just did, is there another System Settings I should use?
>>127748238
Ill try injection first then fbi boot
Thx anon
And other anon
>>127748214
Also using the HBlauncher cia send me to the CTR bootmanager
sigh..what do I do?
>>127748316
I guess because it blocks the same servers. Just set dns to auto when you use the eshop and make sure it's not when using the browser.
>>127729279
I have tried a fuckton of n3ds guides but cannot find one simple one. Please help me
>>127748364
They should show up in Emunand. Why are you running the FE: Fates cia in sysnand, anyway?
3dsiso
Are you sure you're getting into emunand in the first place?
>>127748402
That's because of the renaming thing isn't it? (The boothbl.3dsx or whatever and boot.3dsx) You're going to have to shutdown/restart to get to Hbl now.
>>127748221
Unsure, maybe 4.0 because it's a newer version? You might not even need to do this: Being in CFW might auto-patch the FIRMs for you automatically, just run your games in SysNAND CFW
>>127748303
Oh, did you already inject FBI to your SysNAND H&S? Then just install FBI.cia with your H&S app (Seems redundant, but FBI.cia is likely updated from the version you injected)
If you didn't inject it yet, then no: HBL->PastaCFW sysnand->HBL->FBI.3dsx->FBI.cia
You must be in a CFW on SysNAND or you will not be able to install anything with your new FBI channel
>>127747661
Any help? I'm running out of options and have no bloody idea what could be causing the issue.
>>127748214
Yes, or you can set the Ctr to boot only when you press stuff.
>>127748391
also by the way
devmode = minipasta
>No eshop access, have to back up emunand files
>emunand.bin is larger than SD card capacity
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK
>>127748474
Oh boy, is there a better way to do this? What are other people doing?
>>127748490
How can I?
>>127748442
this, need dedicated n3ds guide.
>>127748568
there's a tool to back it up (and inject) from your pc, Google around for something about injecting and backing up emunand
>>127748572
I don't think there's a good way that I know of. I've just been restarting but I don't use Hbl often. Going into Ironhax/the menu will result in looping/red screen. I'm sure there is some way though. (you can also go into your system settings, back out, it'll kick you back to autoboot, select the hbl. voila.)
I'm still annoyed at the occasional yellow-screen freezing of menuhax loader/manager. Hate that yellow screen freeze shit so much.
>>127748653
You're thinking of EmuNAND Tool: https://gbatemp.net/threads/emunand-tool-release-and-support-thread.359239/
Also@other anon: Buy a larger sd
I can delete the 'updates' folder once I've installed it, right?

that's the one used for transferring to another SD card right?

>>127748723
You have to open the HBL payload in a text editor, CTRL+F for "boot.3dsx" and change the filename. Don't change the length of the filename, though: It can actually break the payload and you'll have to re-download a fixed one
