>3DS
-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/.

Why doesn't my 3D work when on CakesFW with a N3DS?
recommend me some video games to fill a 128gb sd
Since I'm homebrew I wanna push some boundaries, There's no way I can access the Japanese eshop is there?

Wanted to get through this without getting spondfed since i managed to follow the guide with no problem, but any help?
So I followed one of the guides, cool, fine, everythings good. Until I get to the stage where I'm doing the stuff with ctr boot manager, specifically where I set up my autoboot to emunand. It works fine, I turn it on, it autoboots to ctr, then the cakes menu, the problem is when I select "Boot CFW" it seems to go in a loop, the screen goes black, then shows the "static" I get when I first boot up, then shows ctr AGAIN, but if I select the CakesFW entry (or let it auto do it) it just hangs on a red screen. What do?
>>127906384
What tool did you use to format it? I feel like what I have is fucking with my card.

3D works when im on sysNAND just not when using CakesFW on emuNAND. Any one got any ideas what's causing it?
Hey guys when I update to 9.5 on emunand I get a preparing home menu screen then it just stays black but lit up. Im using the 9.5.0-23 full N3DS zip from mega. I am using a N3DS I have restored my emuNAND after doing this I would just like some suggestions. I have used sysUpdater 0.4.1 and 0.4.2 yes I was in emuNAND while running these. After the update runs it kicks me out into my sysNAND where I have checked and it is still 9.2. I have unlinked my nands.
>>127906418
Only way I know of is get a donor J3DS, steal its SecureInfo_A and make a JP EmuNAND with it.
>>127906293
>>127906746
I seem to recall you have to open and close some program (NTR? really I don't know what it was), or maybe I heard you just have to sleep and wake the 3DS from emuNAND. Try the latter first.
>>127906596
I dunno, maybe you don't have sig patching disabled? I'm more familiar with how to do that in Cakes than rxTools.
I have an o3ds and would like to autoboot rxTools. Do I install the nightly version or 2.6?
>>127906689

>>127907024

help
I just installed menuhax but it always freezes when booting, why?
>>127907169
OK thank you. I have another question: when I installed emuNAND, it apparently changed my boot.3dsx, what's up with that? Launching menuhax with that doesn't work so I replaced it again but I got it backed up.
>>127907279
Uhhh I mean, just navigate to the .cia's directory. Unless you're saying FBI isn't working, it's all very straightforward really.
How do I backup emunand? I thought gateway's launcher.dat would let me, but nope.
>>127907249
>The folder's purpose is to distinct sysNAND from emuNAND
Nigger that's not a guide that's a sentence, give me a fucking link.
>>127907039

>>127907367
That shouldn't happen? Unsure how you even pulled that one off. HBL 3dsx is in the starter pack if you need it, and you should use CTRBootManager for your default boot.3dsx, imo. put boot.cfg there too (included w/CTRBootManager)

I think you need to use MiniPasta to disable sig checking then. Good luck figuring out how to use Homebrew on emuNAND.

>>127907909
Read za pastebin.
Do i place the sysupdater folder into the 3ds folder or the two files contained within it into the 3ds folder?
>>127907974
Correct. If you're on N3DS you must use sysupdater by profi200 to update to 9.5 manually. Make an EmuNAND backup before attempting to do it, because I think it's still a one-time-fuck-up (I hear a missing/included .cia can screw up EUR and JP N3DS EmuNANDs....)
>>127908070

>>127908051
>What's so special about CTRBootManager?
It's basically another Homebrew Launcher, except it will auto-boot the default program you set it to if you don't touch anything for a few seconds.
Useful if you want multiple CFW options on boot and boot into a specific cfw without touching anything from power on.
@Nightly: Dunno about O3DS but I can provide the CFW setup I used for N3DS if you're using one.
>>127908068
The fix there is for error 022-2634.
I'm getting Error 022-2511
Or am I retarded and those two codes virtually the same deal?
Almost finished with Emunand9, just have to unlink my NANDS. Where is this option in System Settings?

>>127908413
Not really sure what there is to risk here, but suit yourself!
>>127908361
You have to do a system format. Or you can use TinyFormat, which does the same but skips any online checks and doesn't wipe any of your SD contents.
>>127906582
If you're on a N3DS, check this. http://pastebin.com/SjFXhB5a
Now that we have kernel access, does this mean we will get better homebrew in the future?
I mean, actual useful homebrew like the DS era, not "kickass".
So, about them GBA games
I unlinked my NANDs and the emunand contains everything. My sysnand was formatted, so what I have there is nothing but some DSi titles and applications, of which there is no H&S information app.
Apparently in order to play GBA titles I have to install those .CIAs to both the sysNAND and emuNAND. The issue is, how would I install .CIAs on the sysNAND if I cannot inject FBI there?
>>127908407
>I installed a cia on FBI, where is the video game I installed? Can't find it anywhere in the menu
Did you install to SysNAND? Make sure you're running a cfw in sysnand or OFW will hide it for being unsigned.
So uh, did I fuck up?
I managed to set up emuNand, and updated to 10.3, but now whenever I want to boot up the CFW the screen stays black. I was following the pastebin guide in the OP.
>>127907929
So you mean to tell me after setting everything up on EmuNAND with my unlinked account, I have to use sysNANDwith my linked to install everything?
Finally managed to complete the whole process today, current playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf on my CakesFW system. Thanks to everyone who helps in these threads, you're doing god's work!
Cakes Guide anon here. After I woke up the other day I was starting to catch up by reading dead threads, and I made a few changes to the guide after doing so (made the tinyformat bit more clear, fixed typo in browserhax URL, etc.) but then I got distracted and suddenly it was taking far too long to catch up on all the threads. Just going to post in this one now. If there are any issues with the guide please just tell me here.

Oh sorry, sounded like you had N3DS but decided not to. The worst that happens is your 3DS crashes when trying to run it: You won't actually brick anymore because everything runs off the SD card from now on. That's why EmuNAND exists!

I can tell you what you did wrong. Unlinking by system formatting sysNAND tells Nintendo servers to unlink your NNID. If you want to get around this in the future, run TinyFormat on sysNAND (through pasta or something).

>I was wondering about that file earlier. Can you just keep formatting sysNAND or something to generate a bunch of those?
No. SecureInfo_A is tied to the system hardware. All your NANDs will have the same SecureInfo_A unless you inject one from a different 3DS.
N3DS secureinfo_a does not work on O3DS, but O3DS can be injected into N3DS.

I don't think I've experienced any of the linked symptoms though. And I CAN boot into emunand with cakes just fine, it only seems to be this autoboot that's looping.
>>127906649
This is unlikely to be a fix since you're seeing the Cakes menu at all, but did you change the AutoBoot value in boot.cfg?

Hmm, I experience it with auto-boot and doing it manually.

>>127907169
Changing what file is ran in there is not hard. It just doesn't work even if you do.
>>127908018
If you system update, just remember that Cakes doesn't yet tell you if you're in emuNAND via its system settings, but that if you were in emuNAND previously then you're safe. Don't leave system settings either or you'll restart and probably be in sysNAND (unless you setup coldboot, in which case it'll boot back into emuNAND through ctrbootmanager)
>>127909415
you mash Y for a bit, if after 3 minutes nothing shows up it froze and you will have to retry

HELP ME
Is updating Rxtools to 10.3 as trivial as just going to system settings (making sure it's RX-E) and doing a system update? Won't this break my CIAs (for now just FBI)?
Sorry for dumb question but this shit has been so stressing so far and I'm afraid as fuck of fucking up. I've confirmed my NANDs are unlinked.
>>127909209
No wonder it didn't work! I'm fucking using the Japanese title ID for my system!
Guess I'll try again with the CORRECT ones this time. Thanks guys.
>>127909473
Have you unlinked the nands?
Sysupdater is a finicky bitch. Just keep opening until it allows you to push Y and check the cias. If on a N3DS it can take forever before it decides to fucking do it.

Backup the emuNAND and/or copy emuNAND to sysNAND (temporarily relinking) then wipe emuNAND with TinyFormat and restore the backup.
>>127907775
If the H&S Injection is giving you trouble, try the other method where you boot Pasta from sysNAND and then run FBI.3dsx from the homebrew launcher and install fbi.cia with it.
If you're already in some sort of emuNAND and FBI isn't working, you can skip the Pasta step since you'll have sig patching already.

But if you're following the pastebin to install FBI from pasta you can just run menuhax right after selecting Pasta, way better than relying on browsershit.

Okay, this is my story.
I already got FBI on sysNAND. (I haven't unlinked the NANDs yet)
If I format EmuNAND, will the FBI and save files transfer over to EmuNAND?
So after I format EmuNAND, do I unlink them?
And after this can I install my games normally?

>>127910573
I had this problem and I did this:
1) Backup emunand and backup its folder in sdmc:/Nintendo 3DS/ (easier method: add a _ or something at the end of the folder so you don't have to copy it off your SD card, OR cut/paste it to the root of your SD card)
2) Go in emunand system settings, pick system format
3) Let it do its thing
4) Log into your NNID on newly formatted emunand
5) Restore emunand backup and put its folder back in sdmc:/Nintendo 3DS/
>>127910118
You need to make blank .db files on a certain part of your SD (the emunand part)
It is explained here
https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-installing-rxtools-custom-firmware-3ds-and-2ds.390867/
But here's a pic of the specific part.
Also, I'm assuming you have NANDs unlinked? If not, you might want to follow the whole tutorial.
So wait, I'm on an Old3DS and I dumped sysNAND, backed it up and did a Complete EmuNAND Setup, and backup up the emuNAND too. Do I now install rxTools or Cakes? Which is better on an Old3DS?

run pasta and then TinyFormat from your sysNAND after you've made an emuNAND
>>127909480
If you installed it from Pasta Mode then it should show up while you're in Pasta Mode. What are you doing, though? You shouldn't really install stuff to sysNAND unless you're doing it before making an emuNAND so it gets copied over (such as FBI, FTP-3DS, etc.)
>>127908412
No, I don't believe it is necessary, but it doesn't hurt. If you were following my guide then you should still be in the homebrew launcher from Pasta after you installed FBI and then you can just back out and load Emunand9.
>>127908612
I would say yes, but we had kernel access ages ago, it's just come to newer firmware recently. It still might just because more people have kernel access now, though. You never know what unlucky dev was chillin' on latest firmware.
>>127908674
Are you on an O3DS or N3DS?
>>127908741
I was here before The Great Downgrading, so no reason to leave after it. Plus I gained a lot of knowledge on the downgrading process after doing it myself on quite a few systems. I only had CFW on my 9.2 O3DS before, now I have CFW on all four 3DSs of mine, and I've been helping friends set it up as well.
>>127909209
>No. SecureInfo_A is tied to the system hardware. All your NANDs will have the same SecureInfo_A unless you inject one from a different 3DS.
That sucks. So to get online with something with a changed region, you're preventing another 3DS from going online permanently?
>>127909031
You should be able to mostly follow my Cakes guide. You just can't use menuhax, so ignore the bit about setting up coldboot.

Yes.

If using Cakes you can't tell which NAND you're in
>>127910613
setting up everything is indeed entertaining, you can look what else to mod on it, only to not play it, like setting up GBA games, NTR, changing menuhax loading picture

Thanks anon, it's O3DS yup, I'm sure they are not linked (two gibberish folders, even put [S][y][s] folders on sysnand home. I'm almost done.

how do i install browser hax?
i typed the url into the 3ds browser but its just a blank page with some little bar on the top left
>>127909473
if you access system setting in emunand, you're in emunand until you exit system setting when it boots you to sysnand
Anyone got a link to all the virtual console cias?
>>127911035

What i wondered, why did browserhax suddenly work on 10.3 again? Did nintendo just mess up or was a new glitch found?

Okay so. I'm assuming it's not supposed to go into forever loading right?
Do I need to uninstall the other NVER that I put on by accident? Will that be alright?

Keep trying.
So I followed a guide on gbatemp where I installed big blue menu. I was wondering if it’s worth the effort at all to replace it with FBI at this point and if so, how would I do it. Also, I lost my original hs.app, mistakenly thought I had placed it somewhere else and deleted it. Is there any way to replace it?
>>127911310
it crashes pretty frequently, as long as you have the payload on your sd you should just keep trying
>>127910634
I believe I did before the downgrade, but I'll try that.
But now whenever I try to get into homebrew it aborts to the home menu and say an error has occurred and to restart.
>>127911436
what payload
>>127911381
Also I should add that this guide assumes you have already downgraded to 9.2 or lower.
my tux systemupdater doesnt look like everyone elses, its the same version apparently but my red text is different and i dont get rows of white text like it does in this version: http://i.imgur.com/vRN5jWZ.jpg
>>127911383
I uninstalled the other one using FBI before doing anything else so I don't know how it acts when the correct one is updated and the other lingers. It just started working. No forever loading.

rxtools
Is it safe to update my N3DS emunand to 10.3 if I'm only doing it to log into my NNID and replace it with an emunand backup right after?
It's to fix the unlink issue.
how can I tell if I successfully unlinked the NANDs?
>>127911462
You need to reinstall menuhax after downgrading.
>>127911476
The starter files that you're supposed to have before doing any *hax.
>>127909838
I was just telling that anon it's not possible to coldboot into rxTools 2.6. It sounds like he already has CFW working.
>>127909864
>I'd have to redownload as .cias since I can't play them anymore
what? why do you think that?
Still, if you really want to give it all up, restore your NAND backup to sysNAND if you're unlinked, if you aren't unlinked or after you do that, just update sysNAND and you're good. You can then delete the CFW files from your SD card if you want, but it doesn't matter since they won't work anymore anyway.
>>127909992
I never have it boot me into sysNAND, but sometimes it freezes and I have to try again.
>>127910025
As far as I know, post-IOSU exploit we won't be using Loadiine anymore, so it's tough to say how things will work at that point. I think we'll probably be able to use external HDDs.
>>127910062
Backup your sysNAND as well as files on your SD and then run the complete emuNAND setup from Emunand9.
http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji
>>127910107
What's the issue?
>>127910118
either do what the other anon said with db files or else just try opening the eShop (whether it can be accessed or not) then try FBI again
>>127910207
whichever one you're trying to run FBI from, or both if you want to run it in both. It should generate your database stuff if you don't already have it
Also which NAND are you trying to install that in? you may not have sigpatching if you're in sysNAND and not running Pasta
>>127910275
If you were planning to actually use it, don't. If it ever does get releases it's not going to be worth using anyway.
>>127910330
Can you install any other .cia files?
>>127910613
>I enjoyed the journey so much more than the actual destination.
Yeah, I know the feeling. It's nice to make people who actually want to play games happy, at least.
>>127910678
Yes to everything. Make sure you have a sysNAND backup and that you copy all your stuff to your computer before formatting emuNAND.
>>127911671
Figured, thanks.
>>127911579
won't work
n3DS can only update to 9.5 emuNAND
>>127910838
Got it, you beautiful bastard
I want to restore my n3DS from CFW.
Is formatting my 3DS, updating it and restoring Nintendo 3DS folder enough to do so?
Accidentally got on a wifi connection without tubehax DNS and now I keep getting that update notification, what do I do to get rid of it?
>>127911671
yeah i have that. i ran the page again. now my screen is yellow
>>127911310
Browserhax is utter garbage, get menuhax asap. If you just downgraded make sure to delete the webkithax tmp thing, since it's intended for a newer firmware. Also put the blank theme if you didn't.
Also stop using emoticons reddit, only :^) and ;_; are allowed in our secret club.
>>127911462
What >>127911671 said, the newer payloads don't work on 9.2. And since you technically still have a theme, browserhax won't work. Put the blank theme and try running browserhax again. Then install menuhax and never touch browserhax again until you re-format your sysnand (for NAND unlinking).
How do I inject gba games and do ds games need to be injected?
>>127911818
Set your DNS to TubeHax first.
Then turn on the Nintendo 3DS while holding A+R+L+Up(DPad)
It should come up with a menu asking to update. Click cancel. YOu should no longer get these messages.
If i use the mset exploit, will i still be able to play ds games in sysnand
Also which is better, mset or autoboot thru ctr?,
>>127911765
ah well, just means more moving my friend's files again. making n3ds shit fully functional is a lot less fun than it was on my o3ds, haha

Nope, this is on emunand if that changes anything
>>127912346
the problem is that I did
now what
>>127911701
trying to install it in the emuNAND since that was the account I unlinked. I did this:
> Go to "Select Patches" and check "Enable emuNAND" as well as "Disable signature checks". Now Boot your CFW.
I'll try going to the eshop
>>127912327
quit by booting a nand and powering off. not sure if powering off from rxtools menu actually saves the quick boot setting
>>127910678
(hit character limit with first reply)
also make sure to use TinyFormat from Pasta on sysNAND to unlink or else you can run into NNID issues on emuNAND
>>127910814
I was talking to some people in the Cakes IRC and it sounds like something called "cakehax" may help bootrates. I believe it'd be a replacement for menuhax but you'd still use ctrbootmanager.
Whether this helps depends on which part of your boot is failing. Is it not always getting to ctrbootmanager or is it getting there but not always to Cakes? Both Menuhax and Cakes could be failing sometimes.
>>127910856
I would recommend Cakes. The creator has an O3DS so it should work great. Just keep in mind that if you want to coldboot into emuNAND you'd have to use Cakes or the rxTools nightly, not rxTools 2.6.
>>127910878
Add the homebrew launcher to ctrbootmanager. If it's already in there but not working, make sure the boot.3dsx file for the homebrew launcher (that comes with the starterpack) is renamed to boot_hb.3dsx
>>127911203
New glitch was found by Yellows8 and released during CCC.

Not everyone is using Tux anymore, Also, that screen looks fine if you're just waiting to press Y until you find out if it's safe.
>>127911545
Are you using Julian's latest build? Instead of the vague "CIA files not found" error it will tell you if it got kernel access successfully or not before you even hit Y.
>>127911670
If you unlinked you should've had to go through the 3DS setup on one of them again, and you should see different files on each. Also themes won't be the same on both anymore.
Try creating a folder in sysNAND and seeing if it appears in emuNAND or not to test.
>>127912352
It does change some things, yeah. Which CFW are you in? rxTools or Cakes?

path = "/rxTools/sys/code.bin";
offset = "0x12000";
I'm looking into downgrading my brothers 9.7 o3dsxl.
I presume I just do the steps as normal as I already made sure he has homebrew channel, but I will ask if there is anything else to do here first.
Just so I don't brick it.
>>127912676
have you injected FBI into Health and Safety (emunand) yet?

You will have exactly one shot at downgrading. If you get a softbrick, you will be forced to upgrade to 10.4.
>>127911885
How can I get back into the homebrew menu using menuhax from the home menu? Because after enabling pasta it takes you to the homescreen.
>>127912710
Those IDs are correct now.
>>127912979
Put tinyformat.cia anywhere on your SD card. Then from FBI, install it to your SD.
>>127912007
Coded a lot better. More stability. Allows coldboot unlike rxTools 2.6. Modular. All typical features can be enabled/disabled via "cakes". The only thing it's missing that rxTools has is region-free, and you can get that by running BootNTR on top of it, which a lot of rxTools users end up having to do for foreign DLC anyway.
>>127911818
If you're on sysNAND, recovery mode like ther other guy suggested should work. If on emuNAND, I think freemultipatcher can help with that.
>>127911979
You can play ds games but it will delete the MSET exploit every time you do.

Launch PastaCFW or MiniPasta from the homebrew launcher on sysNAND, then return to the homebrew launcher and launch FBI.3dsx and install FBI.cia and TinyFormat.cia.
I explain how in my guide: http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji
>>127912828
You can't autoboot 2.6. You'll have to use 3.0 or Cakes.

You just have to keep trying, it doesn't always work.
>>127912902
You should be good as long as you have Cubic Ninja or OoT3D or something. They're likely going to patch Browserhax after 10.4 comes out, which makes it hard to get started.

>>127912484
>It does change some things, yeah. Which CFW are you in? rxTools or Cakes?
Cakes
How future proof is 3ds cfw?
Is there any way at all Nintendo could possibly block off online access or release a firmware cfw cant't catch up to which newer games will depend on?
Tried using Cakes but it told me firmware.bin was in the wrong position. This is where it goes right?
New 3ds btw
>>127912828
It doesn't work with 2.6.
>>127913140
You can just hold L as you click Pasta to boot it, you won't see the home menu but you'll enter HBL in Pasta mode.
>>127913237
Have you tried naming it firmware.bin instead of n3dsfirmware.bin
rename it to firmware.bin
>>127913140
It restarts to enable pasta, so if you hold the menuhax button right after choosing pasta it should return you to the homebrew launcher from Pasta.
>>127913175
Okay, there's a chance you don't have signature checks disabled. Do you remember checking which patches you wanted from the Cakes menu before booting?
>>127913202
It's pretty damn future-proof. The worst Ninty has done is change their encryption to fuck over N3DS users, but we find workarounds to deal with that 9.5 emuNAND limit that resulted from it.
We're on too old of firmware to have browsers blocked, and emuNAND shows up like a normal 3DS so they can't really block us from playing online either. One thing they could do is make that new Nintendo Account system required for playing online, and require you're on latest firmware to make/use one or something.
As for just playing free games offline, though, we're basically untouchable.
>>127913237
