Are there any prerequisites for upgrading my 9.2 emunand to 10.3? I'm on an o3ds. I get an error every time. Has anyone been able to do this?
>>127965962
I don't know.
Can I change my theme on emmunand while having home menu hax and autoboot loader?
Any clue as to why Cakes is failing to decrypt the firmware.bin? I followed this guide (http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji), which worked for me on my N3DS. But now that I'm trying to set up my friend's o3DS, cake doesn't want to launch. I checked the contents of the SD card multiple times, making sure the 0x25key whatever is at the root, and the cetk+firmware.bin are in the SD:\cakes folder. It noticed this behavior: when I set up the files, there's no firmkey.bin in the cakes folder. Then I try to go launch cakes on my 3ds and gives a black screen. I check the SD card at this point and now there's a firmkey.bin. I try launching Cakes and now it gives me dialogue, but only to give me "Failed to decrypt the firmware.bin. Please double check your firmware.bin and firmkey.bin are right"
Injecting FBI via rxtools doesn't work and provides no errors. I did this once with an o3ds, but it's not working on my n3ds. Assuming I did the right steps, H&S should be FBI. What do wrong?
>>127970384
Yes. Menuhax is installed to your sysnand, not your emunand.
How do I flash NAND.bin to sysNAND? Also, which NAND should I format using tinyformat?
I tried to back up my NAND but i cant find the back ups on my sd?
>>127971939
okay so how would I use a custom theme? CHMM .cia?
for some downgrading guides, it says the downgrade version goes in update folder, others say updates folder. which is right?
I'm trying to open homebrew using browserhax for the first time on my 10.3 3ds and I got past the yellow and grey screens, but when it should open homebrew, I get stuck on black and red screens. I've seen this problem on a few forums and videos too and wanted to see if anyone here knew how to fix it.
>>127973070
Custom themes I have no idea, I just set my emunand to the black theme and left my sysnand at the default theme so I would know which one I was in immediately.
Dug out my old 3DS still on an old 6.X firmware, I'm assuming I'd have to update it and then downgrade?
>>127972606
Format your emunand. Tinyformat essentially resets whichever nand you run it on to factory default under a new ID, ie a different ID from your sysnand.
does the gateway exploit just not work on new 3ds? i've tried to launch it with browserhax (which works to boot into HBL), but it won't work. it does work fine on my old 3ds.
>>127973279
Sounds good, thanks
Finally got cfw running on my N3DS
Now the question is, is there any way to grab my eshop games off eshop on my emunand? Do I need to link my NNID and is it gonna cause any problems with unlinked nands?
>>127973198
I'd guess you don't have the homebrew launcher installed that it's trying to run.
Something odd just happened to me. My nands aren't linked, but one of my games disappeared. I rebooted and then it was wrapped as a present.
Is this because I went into sysnand and started using tubedns? I still have 9.2 sysnand and can boot into emunand with all my other games perfectly
on trying the downgrade, I keep getting "ERROR : Can't force threads to core 1." am I missing something or should I just keep trying?
Does emmunand 10.3 support badge arcade?
>>127973547
Thank you so much. I accidentally put the boot file into the 3ds folder. I'm running now!
how the FUCK do I upgrade from 4.4 to 9.2?
- Tried injecting FBI to H&S app from rxTools, fails
- Need 9.2 for homebrew menu to use miniPasta
I'm not sure what path to take. Every guide I read assumes you're >9.2 and need to upgrade or already on 9.2
>>127974260
yeah, no problem, I'm downgrading right now also, having a million problems :(
sysUpdater keeps freezing on step 2, and if I try the other sysUpdater linked it doesn't even start step1
>>127973604
Anyone? This is kinda spooky. The game disappears when I boot into emunand and reappears when I go into sleep mode as a gift. For now I uninstalled said game (Rhythm Tengoku) and am currently reinstalling it.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Maybe I just have a defective .cia?

You literally follow the same directions in the guide for downgrading
you just press A for upgrade instead of Y for downgrade

Anyone?

is there anything you cannot get in cia?
How do I restore my backup sysNAND using cake?
>>127973440
If cfw is running, I assume you formatted your 3DS while in sysNAND
while in emunand, upgrade to 9.5 if you're N3DS or if you are on a O3DS go right to system settings and upgrade to 10.3
once upgraded, try to log into NNID, if it doesn't work, come back and I'll tell you why
>>127974590
why do you need to restore it? do you mean emuNAND?
also you do all of that in EMUNAND9 not Cakes
>>127974571
Well no, but loss aversion and sunk cost is kicking me in the gut. I'll probably get over it but right now it's kinda meh.

>>127974717
I fucked up my emuNAND and being the retard I am, I forgot to back up my emuNAND at all. I want to inject my sysNAND so I can have the same NNID. I don't see an option to clone sysnand.bin to sysnand.
>>127975070
Wasn't aware there was more than one downgrader. Not sure which one I used.
>>127974928
which r4? I have a R4i 3DS from R4i-sdhc.com and "an error occurs" each time I run it on both sys and emu 9.2

i have the very popular r4 3ds gold from nds-card.com
>>127974936
I hope it happens eventually, but I'm not sure there's much interest in it.
The flashcarts are so cheap, anyone who really wanted the option already has it.
>>127974936
I wonder why smeglum hasn't started working on this. I mean, he's a moralfag, but the DS was last gen and he said piracy was only bad for current gen.
>>127974936
Dude, the ones that work for DS and DS Lite are $4.
The others that work up to DSI and 3DS are $10.
Or just invest $35 on a SDSTWO.
i am way too retarded for this shit
I've got rxTools, menuhax, unlinkined NANDs, and a 10.3 emunand and have no idea what to do with it
10.5when? :^)
any tips for getting to emunand when freezing on a black screen after rxtools?
>>127975305
DSTwo drains battery like a motherfucker and has no actually useful new features. R4 is a much better option.
>>127975267
according to this :
https://pongupdates.wordpress.com/flashcards-working-on-3ds/
your R4 is not blocked, mine was blocked in 5.1
>>127975305
why is DSTWO so expensive and what are the reasons to buy it?
How do I flash my NAND.bin into my sysNAND?
>>127975390
https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-use-blocked-ds-flashcards-on-3ds-probably-n3ds-too.376719/
>>127975395
Nothing actually, minor features that dont matter, just a glorified card because it was able to do GBA emulation back when the DS was something.
And it was bad at it.
Get a R4 and thats it, try to find one that works with 3DS or whitelist a blocked one.
>>127975441
>implying I didn't already do this
It doesnt work.
>>127975395
It has an onboard CPU. Offers slightly better SNES and GBA emulation, which doesn't matter on 3DS since it has even better emulation for those in 3DS mode. Also the CPU drains battery at full blast even when your 3DS is in sleep mode.
>>127974902
>>127974959
Got anything for me, Doc?
>>127975193
Any way to tell if I'm getting a Rev 2 cart? Might just be a nigger, get a used one at gamestop and return it.
>>127974409
If I update to 10.3 with intent to downgrade, will I lose the ability to access my old emunand/installed CIAs/ etc?
This might be what I need, just to get a fresh start.
>>127975513
Oh sorry. Guess your flash cartwas one of the few that didnt get unblocked with it then
sweet
>>127975583
back up your old emunand/installed CIAs/ etc.
I'm not 100% I'm in the process of downgrading mine right now, but it's what everyone told me, I updated in order to downgrade.
if you can find a way to get to homebrew launcher you can run the sysupdate to update instead of downgrade your firmware. if you don't want to update to current first
>>127975583
Backup your emunand using emunand tool and contents of your SD card to your computer. Upgrade to 10.3, downgrade to 9.2. Your emunand is probably still there since its a hidden partition. If it isnt format emunand using gateways launcher and inject your old one back using emunand tool
I finished downgrading to 9.2 on a O3DS, and can boot menuhax just fine but I can't seem to get either of the pastas to work. Already tried booting hbl from menuhax and browserhax, miniPasta just displays some code and stays like that, and PastaCFW just stays on a black screen until I shut it down. What do?

The browserhax problem happened to me. Use the in-browser setting to reset your data (bottom of the wrench icon menu), then start a new save file by launching the browser again after it kicks you. Then, go back to the Themes menu and change your theme (I just changed it to blue), then scan the QR code for browserhax again, wait for the browser to reload, exit back to home menu before the page completely loads, then launch the browser and try browserhax again.
That's what worked for me.

10.4 NEVER EVER
>>127976181
check if you moved the files correctly, when I tried it froze millions of times but never gave any failture messages
>>127975768
I can't seem to get sysupdater running on sysNAND because rxTools isn't patching the H&S app and I can't get pastaCFW working without 9.2 apparently.
I guess this is an upgrade to downgrade scenario.
Do I upgrade going to eshop then grab ironfall?
>>127976214
#84 : "Just place the relevant files for your system on your SD card. For every .here file on your SD card you should have the real file next to it. Once done you can safely delete the .here files. To review: slot0x25keyX.bin goes on the root, firmware.bin and firmkey.bin both go in the /cakes folder. Now launch Cakes through the homebrew launcher, and hopefully you get to a menu. Go to "Select Patches" and check "Enable emuNAND" as well as "Disable signature checks". Now Boot your CFW."
So on that flowchart it says if your web browser isn't working to go right. What constitutes not working? Mine says communication error when I try to load anything. Does that mean its not working? I just downgraded to 9.0.0-20U from 10.3.0-28U

Someone add this tutorial to OP or a pastebin as it solves a common problem
Trying to install the star sapphire with titties mod that someone posted, I got an error. Description was invalid signature, summary was summary_invaladi_argument (0x7)
What did I do wrong? Was the cia corrupted when I copied it to the SD card? Or do I need to use BBM or something?

I also followed this paste carefully because it was simple, im stuck on the same problem

would be funny if they will not patch all exploits
>>127976210
sysnand or emunand?
>>127976216
All right, cool. This works for emunand, right? I'll try it tomorrow because it's late and I'm falling asleep here.
>>127976270
most of that is a bit over my head, I'm super new to all this.
this might be relevant
>NOTE : unfortunately the latest version of Ironfall can no longer run ironhax. Only those who downloaded Ironfall before September 2015 will be able to run ironhax.
NOTE : it is currently possible to download the original (still vulnerable) version of Ironfall by using homebrew. To do this, simply install browserhax (see above), and use it to download the old version of IronFall by starting the "eShop - old version downloader" application in homebrew menu and downloading IronFall like your normally would.
upgrade, and use the browser hack version to access homebrew loader, from there you can set up the ironfall homebrew loader? I think? ..maybe?
I'm just trying to get shit done through the browserhack, then going to do menuhack after I downgrade because I cant find a version of menuhack to work on 10.3
https://smealum.github.io/3ds/
this is a list of all the ways to get to the homebrew loader

Here, anon.
Someone helped me earlier with the same problem.
Will keeping all of my games in a folder avoid any potential disappearing games/gift wrap glitches? My nands are unlinked, but I'd still like to be sure...
how do you install .cia on sysnand (want to launch some dsi files), i know you use bigbluemeny on your emunand, but sysnand?
>>127976414
>with titties
Elaborate.
I can load into emunand just fine with ctr mananger but i wanna boot into sysnand. when i try to launch sysnand in rxtools i just get frozen on a red screen. help?
>>127976548
And the final cakes folder with the .smdh file goes in the 3ds folder where all the other folders like sysupdater and blargsnes are.
>>127976582
use rxtools or whichever you prefer to install FBI over sysnand health and safety app, use fbi to install cia's
>>127976496
That's what I did. Just got it working. It was giving me a problem because I forgot to setup the themes shit for the hundredth time in EmuNAND. When you have a problem with browserhax, that's a common solution. Clear browser data, change theme (unless it says it is setting up the data in which case you skipped a step in the first place. You can change your theme anyway to be safe), then run browserhax from scratch again.
>>127976538
do you have your NNID linked on sysnand? I think that's the problem
>>127976118
Anyone run into the same issue and get past it? I'm on my third fresh install, and I keep getting stuck at this point.
Is this just one of those steps that will take a lot of retries, or did I fuck up somewhere?
RETARDED QUESTION INC:
I got my emunand all made up and shit... but how the fuck do I check what's on it? I also reformatted using tinyformat like instructed but I don't think it did anything.
It took almost the entire day but I did it.
Took my 10.3 new3ds to 9.2 emunand and updates that to 9.5 and was able to install and run the cowtits Pokemon version.
Feels good man...now what?
so i'm using this guide http://pastebin.com/ndvW5Aji
already installed the emunand and i'm at the tinyformat part, but when I reboot with pasta there are two blank icons (i'm guessing one for tinyformat and another for fbi) and they disappear quickly
what did I do wrong? I'm pretty sure at this point it still boots straight in the sysnand
also, the classic homebrew launcher got replaced by the grid homebrew
>>127976818
Double check to see if the updates folder is on the root of your sd card.
If it is, keep trying.
>>127975864
So I've been looking around and this may be due to a failed downgrade? Do I have to update to 10.3 and downgrade again?
Moment of truth guys. On the screen to downgrade my n3ds with julian's version. If I have no idea what sysNAND Gateway mode is I don't need to worry about it, right?
>>127976785
So I logging my NNID to both sysnand and the new formatted emunand? I was using this >>127952584 as a guide.
>>127976880
Now you show back up tomorrow in case I have any questions. I just finished my O3DS and it is time to start my N3DS, probably tomorrow.
>>127976726
>use rxtools or whichever you prefer to install FBI over sysnand health and safety app, use fbi to install cia's
is bigbluemenu also working in sysnand? i think i already did that safety app injection process
>>127976956
wat
all of that is irrelevant right now, if you use the downgrader you'll be on stock 9.2 and from there you can set up all that other stuff
>>127976884
also, it's possible to create a new NNID at this point? I kinda forgot to create one before downgrading
bumping again
So, just to be sure, to go online on a multiplayer game like Triforce Heroes would require file conversion from .3ds to .3dz? Are there any other pre-requisites to play online? Like should I use cakes instead of RxMode, etc.
Posted in previous thread but was already dead.
Help appreciated.
I've recently been playing games without issue. Using BigBlueMenu to install CIAs. Tried to install a new one, said it was done, hit the home menu, yanked the SD card, and shut down.
Next restart the 3DS can't see any of my installed programs (games, cia installer) - system data management tells me the SD software management information is corrupted and I need to wipe it all.
SD card reads fine on the computer.
So I'm assuming something just glitched in the install process for my latest game? Maybe I yanked the SD card without looking or hit home at the wrong time.
Is there any way to fix this without having to reinstall all my games again?
Maybe like, remove the latest game from title.db so the DS doesn't sperg out about whatever is missing re the latest install (I have no idea how I'd do that, just wild guess here?)
tl:dr 3DS info corrupted, way to repair?
>>127976548
>>127976709
still giving me this anon, should i delete the copies of files that end in .HERE ?
I got Cakes on my N3ds no problem, but as I'm trying to get it on my O3DS I keep getting the error saying that it "Failed to decrypt the firmware.bin" what did I do wrong?
>>127976726
Been having trouble with the injection on N3DS, any ideas?
Now that I have succesfully downgraded to 9.2, what should I install to play pirated games?
>>127977016
yeah, you can install whatever you like in sysnand just like you can in emunand.
if you've done the health and safety injection thing in your emunand you'll have to do it again in sysnand though. just follow the steps closely and do all the version checks again
>>127976918
Thanks for the reply. Just double-checked, and can confirm it's there. See screenshot.
>>127976963
well, error code says you didn't put username/password correctly, make sure you login correctly in emunand's system settings
>>127977041
>.3ds to .3dz
No, you need a .cia
Unless you own a flashcard like gateway the only games you'll be installing are .cia
>>127976818
also, make sure the folder in the root is updates and not update
some guides say update others say updates
updates is the right name for the folder
>>127977221
right, I see. still, is that all I need for online multiplayer?
>>127977041
.3ds and .3dz files are for use with a Gateway cartridge only. For CFW, you just install shit onto your 3DS SD card directly with .cia files, which are installers that let you have games on your homemenu, similar to how you download from eshop. After that you can play online all you want safely.
>>127976880
I'm having trouble downgrading my 10.3 I just updated from 9.9
on sysupdate, if it doesn't show any steps when you launch it, that means it's frozen / not working right?

>run fbi as a .3ds

>>127977236
Yeah, I triple-checked to make sure I had the folder named correctly. See the screenshot in this post >>127977180
That's the root of my sd card
>>127977179
>yeah, you can install whatever you like in sysnand just like you can in emunand.
>if you've done the health and safety injection thing in your emunand you'll have to do it again in sysnand though. just follow the steps closely and do all the version checks again
yes that was why i was curious, cause in fact i don't have the health app in sysnand at all, is it bad? (i didn't delete anything)
>>127976674
>Elaborate
The Pokemon Star Sapphire with big tits mod in it? The link that was getting pased around two threads ago?
Anyone, it doesn't matter what game it is. Why is FBI giving me these errors? Is it a corruption thing, out of region, some other retarded error.
>>127977308
I thought Nintendo could ban us for using CIAs online?
>>127977342
>health app in sysnand at all, is it bad?
you'll probably have to restore it first. you chose to back it up right?
>>127976918
>>127977236
OH SHIT ANONS IT'S DOING IT
I THINK I JUST NEEDED SOMEONE TO RESPOND
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS
>>127977342
yeah, I just saw that post after I made my post, I dunno I don't have a jap 3DS
I read on the forum someone was able to get it to work by putting the files directly in root, instead of in the updates folder... maybe try that
>>127977435
oh,.. or.. uhh... nevermind then
>>127976373
take out your sd card, the format it, then use cakes to restore all the files. then go play games or something I don't even care
>>127977364
I've gone back several threads and don't see it.
For everyone who was getting the sysupdater error about not finding the CIA files, I was trying to figure that out for hours and all this mac shit and it wasn't working. Switched sysloader versions to whatever the hell this one is and it worked first try:
http://www.gamescom.net/sysupdater/sysUpdater.zip
My only worry now is I've read that some older versions of Sysupdater fucked with your ability to install a CFW? So hopefully this one isn't that old, but I'm successfully on 9.2.0-20U afaik.
>>127975957
yes
>>127976214
>>127977107
tempted to just give up, been at this for 3 days straight untill 3 am
>>127977364
No, that's if you use .3dz files with public headers, something you don't have to worry about with CFW. People have been playing Smash and the like from CIA installers forever with no repercussions.
>>127977434
>>health app in sysnand at all, is it bad?
>you'll probably have to restore it first. you chose to back it up right?
i followed the whole guide:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-installing-rxtools-custom-firmware-3ds-and-2ds.390867/
up to "You are now ready to install CIAs"
i did a backup at a moment like advised, i think it was just before unlinking nands
>>127977331
same problem is happening with me
>>127977553
is there like a youtubevideo or a facebook group or something i can ask? i usually stay up hours hoping someone replys to my post, not very effective use of time
>>127977149
help?
So, i have a couple of menu icons that are nothing but black boxes when i launch Emunand. what's up with those?
>>127976427
not him but having same problems with a mac
So I noticed other people were getting the same error as me with the DLC file for Fates not showing up in the game, specifically the 3rd route.
Was there a fix?
>>127977594
i never used the universal inject generator sorry, i don't really know what to tell you
i'd try the install step in decrypt9 again to see if you can get it to show up, otherwise look for some kind of restore option
>>127977121
someone please
I followed the guide to the dot and it only fucked up on my o3ds
For some reason, I downgraded to 9.1?
I got the folder form the pastebin and it said 9.2.
How fucked am I?
>>127977937
i think that's a problem caused by deleting that one cia you have to for the japanese firmware
doesn't matter. everything that works on 9.2 works on 9.1
>>127977937
yeah the firmware for j is mislabled.
>>127977921
thanks!
>>127977782
Pretty new to this so others may have to double check. But now that you've got 9.2 (phew) you can now get onto all the hard work of installing.
Basically this comes down to.
Backing up your sysnand (normal DS software, stored on the DS)
Making a duplicate of the sysnand, which will become your emunand (hacked DS software, stored on your SD card)
Installing a loader like rxTools to load up the emunand and allow pirated games to be run on your emunand.
I used this guide.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-installing-rxtools-custom-firmware-3ds-and-2ds.390867/
But the pastebin at the top of this thread may have alternatives.
>made my 1st custom theme
i thought it was more difficult, might change it alot more, i was just testing how it looked.
Which version of rxTools is best to use? the guide I'm using suggests 3.0, but I hear its very buggy.
How do you access the rxtool's menu on version 3.0? I mean, version 2.6 gave you the option to access the menu by pressing R before rxmode booted but on 3.0 it just boots into emunand automatically
>>127978108
that's pretty good.
what's the bgm?
>>127978213
Try holding L. Works for mine. Lemme know how it goes.
I just installed MH4U and I'm getting a black screen with the error, "an error has occurred..." Any known fix for this?
>>127978142
my rxtools 3 works fine
So I've finally got my new n3DS downgraded to 9.2... what are the best CFWs to use now? Back on my original n3DS (months ago at this point, so I'm out of the loop on n3ds stuff), I just had everything installed to sysnand which worked fine but after getting an o3DS and running emunand, I'd like that for my new n3ds. But rxTools doesnt work on n3ds, right?
>>127978008
>>127978042
Cool. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't completely fucked.
Thanks!
>>127978265
Ah, well thats fine then. Cheers anon.
>>127978054
bless you, anon
>>127977554
Not him, but awesome. Maybe now I can get some DLC action.

Second post.
>>127978108
Looks pretty solid
Add a bgm and pokemon menu sound effects and upload it to 3dsthem.es
for the health&safety app to work, you need the hs.app but also the hs.enc?
>thought I didn't unlink my NAND and EmuNAND, so I repeat the process

Time to update to 10.3 and start all over again.
I'm just a professional fuck-up.
>>127978309
Pick your poison between CakesFW and rxtools, I like Cakes personally
>>127978384
I would load sysUpdater and get a frozen black screen with Tux's version of sysUpdater.
I switched over to the link in this guy's >>127977546 post, and now I'm getting stuck on #5 (which is an improvement).
Isn't there a better way to restart the program or homebrew without turning off the power? The guide says L+R+Down+B is supposed to work but on all versions I tried it never worked.
Think I bricked. It was on the rebooting in 10 seconds screen for like 15 minutes so I reboot it myself and now I only get black screens.
>>127978606
Pull SD card, reboot.
>>127978585
Why update and then downgrade again? Couldn't you just format system memory or something? Shouldn't need to downgrade again unless you did something retarded to your NAND without actually managing to brick.
>>127978646
I literally did that after I noticed when trying to power down the sleep screen appeared for a few seconds. Still undefeated in hacking consoles.
>>127978714
Tried that, didn't work. FBI just won't install for some reason, so fuck it, I'm starting from step 1.
My menu hax wont install?
please help
>>127977730
IRC
>>127978604
Yeah I got stuck at 5 a ton. eventually worked though. That part I knew was trial and error, but the not finding the cia files was never going to work by just restarting, so it's an improvement I guess. Checking now to make sure it did a complete downgrade.
>>127978259
It worked, I tried holding L before but I didn't realize the timing was so tight, thanks a lot by the way.
>>127978807
are you connected to the internet?
I'm trying to install rxTools on 4.5
The guide on the nightly build I downloaded says I need firmware.bin and rxTools.dat
I can't find them anywhere.
Guide says this python script will ownload the firmware.bin, but it doesn't, just some other numbered bin files.
How do I convert .3ds to .cia without a flashcard?
>>127978807
Mac tends to create hidden files that get on the way with downgrading.
>>127978807
Tell us the problem you dumby.
>>127978881
The thing is I load the app and it stops asking me if I want to downgrade and immediately starts the downgrade process. Is that normal?
>>127978646
Actually, I can't get it to boot with the SD card in at all. Any ideas? It works without it and is confirmed downgraded.
on o3ds
I can get into rxtools Menu easily and believe I've done all I need to there.
But I can get RXtools or HomebrowMenu to run. Rxtools just flashes and goes dark. Homebrewmenu gives me a red bottom screen. What do?
>>127978054
Will my EmuNAND have my retail cart saves in it?
I want to hack a N3DSXL without losing my save data, and while still being able to pop in a cartridge. If I download .cia files can I still use my cart saves for them?
I've been working at this for hours, reading several guides and other relevant replies in these threads but just cannot work this out.
I cannot get FBI installed on emunand via rxTools injection or any random combination of other CFWs and/or HBL for the N3DS.
How likely is it that it's a problem with a nightly? If so can someone post a confirmed nightly that injection works with.

the BGM is ''N's meeting theme'' from BW.
though the new one is based more off of his VS Mugshot, and will have his battle theme instead
>>127978991
If I recall correctly I think you've gotta change the name of a boot file, I'm not too entirely sure since I'm new myself. maybe another anon can help.
>>127978938
I found firmware.bin on "THAT ISO SITE" but now where do I locate an rxTools.dat?
>>127979086

N3DSXL Owner here, successfully downgraded with everything installed.
This guide is perfect after downgrading if you follow every step

good luck friends
Are CIA files supposed to take forever to install? Pokemon Titties version is only 88% after an hour. Also, what the benefit of unlinking NANDs if I can inject my emuNAND into multiple SD cards?
>>127979197
I replaced the starter pack with a new one
>>127979205
Is this the one where the wrong files are linked?
Will my digital games and saves be safe if I get new SD card for CFW?
>hear piracy is NOW on 3ds
>buy N3DSXL
>won't be here for a week, missed window

so... is the userbase for the 3ds shit or something? you think the chinks would have this cracked 100% by now.

HALP
>>127979153
Im using gbatemp's guide. Are you referring to this line?
"10. Rename the Homebrew Menu's boot.3dsx to HBL8.3dsx and drop CTRBootManager's boot.3dsx into your SD card root"
Because that's what I did to get to this screen, the boot manager. I have been able to revert to the regular boot for menuhax but that's useless to me since I want to get rxtools running and it won't show up there, presumably till i can boot it from this ctrbootmanager.
How do I convert .3ds to .cia without a flashcard?
>>127979215
yes, they install for a long time, i use bbm
>>127978991
Ok, so your Rxtools isn't working
Saw this on another guide "If you have rxTools crash into red/black screen, change theme in your EmuNAND once! Chances are you had Menuhax installed before creating EmuNAND and now it got copied over, changing theme will remove it from EmuNAND and your rxTools will autoboot as it should! To get into EmuNAND when having these crashes, just hold your Menuhax button after selecting rxTools in CtrBootManager."
Maybe that will help?
Alternatively CtrBootmanager needs to be configured correctly to launch the correct file at startup. I got a bit confused on this part because there are bunch of similarly named files you're juggling round, had to be extra careful.

google "simple 3ds to cia converter"

No not exactly, It was something I read yesterday in an old thread. But I may be wrong
Can another anon help this anon?
Finished up getting CFW on my old 3ds, now gonna try it on my new one. Do my current games and saves on it become unrecoverable or is it backed up so I can use them after installing everything??
>>127979498
My shit won't even be here for another 2 weeks.
What are the "forced" updates for the 3ds? does it ONLY happen in browser or can you decline the update?
I want to play games while I wait for a more stable exploit but kinda wanna stay on 10.3
shit guys I finally made it to red with n3ds, but it's not doing anything when I press y to downgrade. what do?
i used simple 3ds to cia converter to make a fafnir knight with japanese voice acting, worked perfectly
I've got a jap old 3DS LL that I'm thinking about downgrading and getting CFW going on (using either of the downgrading guides + cakesfw install guide in OP) and have got some questions for you:
1. The cakesFW guide instructs to make a dump sysNAND before emuNAND. If I in the future for some unforseeable reason wanted out of the CFW business, could I restore and go back to a near unmodified system again?
2. After "unlinking" by wiping my sysNAND with TinyFormat, the emuNAND launched through a CFW will contain all my games and save data as before. Is this correct?
3. My ambassador GBA games will for some reason not work anymore if only installed in emuNAND as far as I've understood. Why? And how are you supposed to install them in sysNAND without eShop access?
4. Are there any problems with DS mode that I should be aware of?
5. I've got another o3DS that I don't have physical access to at the moment, so I won't be able to downgrade it before Monday. Is there anything easy I can ask to be done with it to prevent it getting fug'd? I.e. would putting TubeHax DNS on it be a good idea? My sister borrows it occasionally
>>127979215
Can you MD5 that cia for me? I have a feeling mine is corrupt and that's why it's not installing.
Or maybe should I switch to BBM is FBI doesn't install specific cias.
>>127979575
If the downgrade is unsuccessful, you might end up with a "softbrick". This means the console cannot be used, but can be started in recovery mode. The only thing that you can do in recovery mode is upgrade (via Nintendo) to the latest firmware. If 10.4 fixes the vulnerability to downgrade, then you cannot try again.
>>127977182
>>127952584
Thanks both of you. I got my shit working now.
Why the hell are the binaries and process so unstable? is it hardware variations?
If 10.4 DOESN'T stop this exploit would it become slightly more stable over time?

I WANT TO UNINSTALL MY EMUNAND'S BROWSER AND REPLACE IT WITH THE 9.2 BROWSER TO HAVE ACCESS TO SPIDER TOOLS
mega:///#!lEJiAA6Y!EvOpaxPoasqM4ybuHf7C01OXoTNR2iRmNul2ywH745o
WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT THIS CRASHES/BRICKS MY EMUNAND?
Alright. After downgrading to 9.2 my 3DS wont boot with the SD card in. I can boot without it and if I insert it after booting it will work unless I pretty much do anything involving it. Any help?
My O3DS on 9.2 refuses to run anything using the region free launcher.
Is it the firmware? or might the 3DS just be bad?
Im not speaking about hans btw, multiple reinstalls my entry point, reformats, and different cards dont fix the issue.
>>127979490
>>127979512
how do you do it without rxtools?
>>127979820
Format SDcard, Install CFW
When emuNANDTool successfully extract an emunand, there is no popup to announce that the extraction was successfull? it just reach 100% and that's it? that's so confusing
>>127979852
Use Decrypt9 to generate the xorpads.
>>127979852
do not know, i have only rxtools on 2ds, all cia work
>>127979634
Sure can. How do I MD5 it? I also made a CIA folder on my sd card and dropped it in there and installed from FBI.
Here's the link if you didn't have it: https://mega.nz/#!JR5jVQyD!XGKWMZCqll2KT10skLbzv21MUWJW1puosPGAlDcukY0
Why do we have to downgrade to 9.2 to run CFW if we have the kernel exploit on 10.3 to even have the option of downgrading? Is it because the CFWs rely on the exploit that got fixed?
