-FAQ-
>3DS
Q: Is downgrading safe?
A: Yes, but you should remember a few things.
If the downgrade fails, you'll be forced to update to 10.7 and then use ninjhax or oothax. oothax requires a way to edit its save first, like an already hacked 3DS or a save dongle (you might set it up before trying, if you can).
Don't forget to use the right downgrade files or you'll brick.
Q: What are the advantages of a9lh?
A: More stable loading of CFW, plus bootrate and speed improvements. Theoretically impossible for Nintendo to fix.
Q: The browser asks me to update (9.9 to 10.6)
A: Change date to 1/1/2000 00:00 and "Reset Save Data" in browser settings. Do not press Home.

The "NAND Validation Option" and "Unbrick FW 2.1 EmuNAND" steps were removed from the guide. is that okay? Is it safe to go through with "One Click Setup" after downgrade?

considering that OTPHelper updated alongside the guide i assume the One Click Setup now takes care of both NAND Validation and Unbrick FW2.1 if necessary. just sync latest version of the guide with latest versions of the tools if you're paranoid. or go pester plailect on irc i hear he loves that

i want to use hpg's homebrew launcher because its so much nicer/cleaner but theres no emunand9 on it what do i do please help
>>136162253
yeah, it's step 17 now
you can do http://pastebin.com/hVkShpxz for autoboot afterward
>>136162560
The regular SafeSysUpdater uses libkhax/mch2 for <=10.3, so it'll work on any 9.0-10.7 version. It's the modded forced-svchax one that has the weird version spread.
So, is NTW CFW n3ds exclusive? Poorfag with only but a o3ds XL here, don't want to fuck things up.
Also, I only have cias installed, I read it has some sort of anti-piracy system, so I'm not sure if I should use it.
>>136162584
maybe you can download emunand9?
just a thought.
>>136162867
no, use NTR after you load whatever CFW you use.

I still prefer devmenu 11.4 over FBI for a few reasons. And yes, I mean the latest version.
>more sane behavior with multiple .cias
If you try to install several .cia files and one of them in already installed, FBI lets you either reinstall it or stop installation of all .cias. DevMenu just skips the ones you already installed and continues with the rest of them.
>no crashes
After installing multiple or very large .cias, FBI will sometimes crash or softlock.
>touchscreen support
Minor, but you can scroll thru the game list much faster this way.
I might make some bug reports.

Or maybe you don't even do the captcha. Maybe you're such a disgusting NEET that you actually paid for a 4chan pass. I imagine you little shit laughing so hard as you click submit that you drop your Doritos on the floor, but it's ok, your mother will clean it up in the morning. Oh, that's right. Did I fail to mention? You live with your mother. You are a fat fucking fuckup, she's probably so sick of you already. So sick of having to do everything for you all goddamn day, every day, for a grown man who spends all his time on 4chan posting memeshit. Just imagine this. She had you, and then she thought you were gonna be a scientist or an astronaut or something grand, and then you became a NEET. A pathetic faggot NEET. She probably cries herself to sleep everyday thinking about how bad it is and how she wishes she could just disappear. She can't even try to talk with you because all you say is dank memes. You've become a parody of your own self. And that's all you are. A sad little man laughing in the dark by himself as he prepares to indulge in the same old dance that he's done a million times now.

What do you guys think the Hyrule Warriors Special Edition 3DS is gonna be at firmware-wise?

So what happens if you try and run a game that isn't on its native 3DS? For example, running a Jap smash on an English 3DS without NTR. Does a system error pop up or something?

>>136166461
If you're following a step by step guide on running an exploit you're not a real hacker. Emunand has nothing to do with it, since the A9LH install is done almost exclusively by what amounts to monkeys imitating the developers after having the process simplified and dumbed down several times.

Try to get to the homebrew launcher with browserhax, update to 9.2 and install menuhax
I need some help guys. I'm shit at this kind of thing, it was a miracle I was able to downgrade and get this all working, but I did.
Anyways since I did all that I updated to 10.4 (maybe 10.5) on emunand and haven't touched the internet on it since. Now yesterday I flipped the wifi switch to do some spotpass shit and it worked fine but on home screen I have new software and some update is ready for me (but I didn't install it). And also I have gifts like youtube and some pokemon thing on my home screen.
Basically I'm just wanting to take precaution so I don't fuck myself over. But is any of this bad like having used spotpass/wifi and getting these updates? I'm still on 10.4 or 10.5 on emunand and sysnand is 9.2 or whatever.
>>136170238
Why is Cakes considered good now? All I remember is the memeing before I left the general for a while.
>>136170238
The thing is, this is not my 3DS. Mine is a N3ds with themehax and on reinand. But I don't know how the fuck RXTools works and her sysnand does not have the theme options... Holy shit! her firmware is 4.2!!!! WTF cand I do?
>>136170282
Update sysnand? Will nothing happen to the emunand?
>>136170407
I recommend to update your emunand to 10.7 by system updates, it'll be alright.
For the gifts shit, its safe to remove, but if you want it you can download it, no problem with that
>>136170407
just update emunand to latest firmware
So whats the deal with Plailects guide having a brick risk at the downgrading step?
>>136170541
Yes... and no
Basically you'll need to reinstall rxtools and menuhax in the 3ds, it's a pain in the nuts, but its fucking worth it
Just check the OP if you're brave enough
>>136170464
Cakes is sort of good now since the only competition it has on the Arm9 front is AuReiNand, which is meme'd about for different reasons. Mid-Kid might've bricked himself, but Aurora is supposedly a tranny. I don't know how true that is, but that's the accusation. AuReiNand is also expanding more features like it's own chainbooting that could and should be handled by ctrboot for a9lh.
>>136170541
>But I don't know how the fuck RXTools works and her sysnand does not have the theme options... Holy shit! her firmware is 4.2!!!! WTF cand I do?
Holy fuck. Might as well set up a9lh. If you're not interested in doing that, do >>136170282 Get the sysupdater cia, get the 9.2 firmware files for the appropriate region and update to 9.2. Then you can set up coldboot with menuhax.
>>136170773
if you get the wrong region/system files you can hard brick but even if you have everything correct there is still a chance you might soft brick from which you can just update from recovery mode and retry
>>136169067
I just did it. Here's what happened
One Click Step
>Validates
>unbricks emuNAND
>Validates
>flashs EmuNAND to sysNAND
>Validates again
It checks each step.
>>136170773
It carries a brick risk like downgrading usually does. Anything that writes to NAND is usually variable levels of dangerous. With the advent of the newer OTPhelpers, brick chance should be basically minimal unless you're actually retarded. If you can follow directions you'll be fine, since one of the steps involves OTPhelper verifying all of your NAND titles on the downgrade against their sha256 hashes. Since OTPhelper is already booted and in memory you could hard brick yourself all day long and as long as you didn't power off from OTPhelper you can fix it. But if you verify the files very little can actually go wrong.
>>136170627
>>136170616
So I am on 10.4.0-29U
It is safe to update to latest?
>>136171078

But doesn't Gateway not support firmware above version 9.2?
>>136171738
>gateway
why use flashcarts when you can just easily downgrade and use cfw? only seemed good for when people updated past 9.2 but these days every 3ds is downgradeable so it's pretty obsolete at least for now
>>136170960
That's good to know. Mine fails to validate so it aborts during first validation. Is it an N3DS and were you able to boot that thing?
I'm probably going to put this thing off until there is a CFW or an emulator that can run the 2.1 emunand image before I'm flashing to sysnand, this is too spooky for me.
Question on 3ds to cia. Pastebin says:
>Place the Decrypt9WIP folder in /3ds, and create a new folder 'Decrypt9' at the root of your SD card
What do you do with the rest of the files in the downloaded package? Do you just not use them or do they go in root/decryp9 folder?
>>136172129
>I'm probably going to put this thing off until there is a CFW or an emulator that can run the 2.1 emunand image before I'm flashing to sysnand, this is too spooky for me.
Did you read the bit on the guide? It says that with Godmode9 you can export the files that fail validation and look at the sha256 hashes yourself on your computer. If any of them match you're fine. Besides, half the time stuffs broken and not a false positive is irrelevant garbage anyway.
>>136171738
Unless A9LH gets involved, nobody does, since the important kernel exploits are patched so we can't do anything relevant anymore. OBviously, we can use the newer downgrade exploits to gain Arm11 access which enables us to downgrade to 9.2 with a more vulnerable kernel. For some reason, you need fewer permissions to dump the NAND than you do to do system updates/downgrades.I understand why that happens. It just seems like a dumb security oversight, particularly one involving our current downgrade situation. Arm11 access to the updates doesn't have the (or need) the same permissions to do the decryption and NAND operations that Arm9 does. It just seems silly that we're able to circumvent the problem entirely.
>>136172284
Yeah I read it and I did the GodMode9 extraction, it failed on *03402.tmd which contained 2 files and the first file had a matching checksum so it should be fine.
But then the gbatemp thread with all the people messing up gave me cold feet. There seems to be no way to unbrick yourself other than a hardmod if it fails.
>>136169838
just tried to roll with what uwiz managed to extract + added separate meta folder, it just crash at prologue opening screen. anyone? or
is it just 3ds babies today?
>>136172506
Yea, it should be fine. GBAtemp has a tendency to be filled with retards. You only need to match one file. Like I said, it might not even be anything important. If you're in the US, a hardmod done by hundshamer is $50 plus shipping and shit. You can think of that and lost time as the price of a brick. I'm sure you made backups, so you're not in trouble, so it's basically a $50 mistake. Honestly, you could do stupider things that cost more money so the risks aren't that steep. I know I have.
>>136172754
>GBAtemp has a tendency to be filled with retards
>tfw someone actually asked if you hardmod a 3ds with superglue
>>136172506
Use godmode9 to delete the file that didn't match.
What's the latest version so I can play SSB online?
>>136172754
>>136172858
I got lots of NAND backups. I don't live in the US so I guess the shipping will be a bit more expensive. I'll try removing the file and give this thing a go when I get home. Thanks guys
>>136173137
There might be others that you can find on GBAtemp who are worth a shit, so look first. I just said that as an example because I'm a Mericlap.
If you are using a cfw in Sysnand with a9lh:
How does an update not overwrite the cfw parts?
>>136173334
The short answer is we can do things before the system loads properly so that we can say "we got here first, fuck off."
>>136173334
it's just like bootmii on wii where it runs before any code by nintendo is loaded
>>136173572
So in the nand of the 3DS(with a9lh) is a part of code that:
-always executes first
-made itself unwriteable
-allows installtion of unsigned .cia
right? And since it will always execute first and is not writeable it will never be patchable, correct?
>>136173732
correct
>>136173127
1.1.5
>>136173732
>>136173841
In theory. They might pull some wizardry out of their ass like in-memory shit that gets around us, but even if that does happen we'll probably find a way around it eventually, and I don't recall silent updates on the 3ds ever, so we could avoid it by just not updating.that's not a real solution, though
It's far more likely that they'll kill downgrades on the next NATIVE_FIRM update and then kill entrypoints as they crop up. They've done a pretty good job so far of doing that, since Cubic Ninja and OoT are the only exploits that work on latest firmware and OoT isn't something you can do without a dongle or another hacked 3ds already on hand. So for all of the ultra-latefags it's added a $20/$40 entry barrier. Anyone worth a shit who had CFW or was even paying attention to the scene before 10.6 already has an entrypoint into HBL if they don't have full-blown custom firmware. Everyone who didn't was irrelevant and stupid.
Does anyone have a link for 1.1.5 SSB Update + DLC?
>>136174139
3dsiso retard
>>136174096
>$20/$40 entry barrier
Reminds me of the xbox 360 when you had to read out the key of your dvd drive. People were charging like 20 bucks for that and the xecutor for doing it yourself was around 50.
I bet alot of people made alot of money on that. Could happen with the 3DS, but there are still thousands of downgradeable 3DS lying around.
>>136174390
Paid a guy with sky3ds $10 just to downgrade my JP 3ds but did the actual installation of the homebrew myself. Pretty sure he's raking in the dough from the other people who asks him to install cfw for them.
I installed three CIAs using FBI, but only one game showed up on my home screen. What gives?
>>136175442
Out of region games? See if they are installed in software and try using NTR.
Have an O3DS running RX-E 10.3.0-28U on the emunand, is it safe to update?
Also can I change what CFW I use and should I?
>>136175589
Isn't RxTools region-free? That's what I'm currently using.
>>136176345
If you should change your CFW is entirely subjective. Personally I use AureiNand
I think every CFW supports the latest fw right now.
>>136176604
Should be yeah. Are the games listed in your software? Try reinstalling them with BBM or devmenu.
>>136176669
They are not. I'm trying to reinstall right now, if it doesn't work I'll try again with both BBM and devmenu and report back.
>>136176669
So it's safe to update right?
>>136176813
You can always make a backup of your emunnd before with decrypt9 and reflash it if it somehow breaks your emunand.
>>136176896
I have a backup of the bin file of my emunand cause I recently moved to a bigger sd card. Is this good enough?
>>136176896
Just make sure you update via sys settings and not the update nag.
>>136176983
Yeah that should work.

Does anyone know where in this guide is states how to copy emuNAND to sysNAND? I followed the current iteration of this guide and I still have a sysNAND homescreen without FBI installer. It's simple enough to inject FBI, but MAYBE I missed a step.
no news lately
Wait, if you can convert 3ds file to cia, doesn't that mean you can play games straight out of 3DS sd card?
>>136178304
Read the op nigger
>>136177859
It's your own fault for following le leddit guide.
Make a nand backup of emunand, call it nand.bin and run the a9lh installer again.
So what do I do now after I installed arm9l? I mean I hope that I didn't spend the last three days for nothing.
>>136178346
That's the reason why I mention it at the first place, I didn't know that you can convert 3ds file to cia until now. But what I said is true right? You can play games from sd card.
>>136178410
>mfw already formated sd card without emuNAND

>>136179006
It's useless is what it is, the difference of the extra 8 bytes between OTP.bin and OTP0x108.bin is the TWL Customer ID, which can still be retrieved on 10.x.
>>136178747
Yes, but you can also launch emunand9 on boot using a9lh, just like decrypt9. But it would probably be easier to use your older backup

Could otp108 ever be used for anything?
>>136179449
Not likely. Even if it was to be used for something, you can generate 0x108 from the original OTP, just add the extra data.
>>136179262
so how do I go about this? reinstall a9hl? can I flash that backup overtop of syNAND a9lh? won't that remove a9lh and inadvertantly update my sysNAND? that just sounded retarded saying it.
>>136179510
Don't flash the backup using decrypt9, flash it using the a9lh installer
>>136090119

Inject using decrypt9, fucking retard, this will be my last reply to you, if you want to be spoonfed more I suggest you go to reddit, where you probably came from

is there any benefit of using one over the other
say better feature in one or more possibilities of bricking your 3ds?

I know how to do it, but there's CLEARLY a step missing and I won't be the last askfag complaining about it.
Ive successfully completed the guide and installed aurei and have FBI on my home screen. Can someone please tell me how I install games? Should I just create a folder on the SD card, drop them there and access them with FBI?
>>136180406
Switch to cakes.
>>136180307
maybe i meant to ask is it that much more difficult to use or is it like calling android phones difficult to use compared to apple
>>136180406
im pretty sure you just install the .cia files with fbi or big blue menu or w.e is used now
>>136180406
Install games in .cia format with fbi
make sure destination is sd card and not nand

>>136181127
>safea9lhinstaller
>invalid .cia
I already tried to install >cakes, rxTools 3.0, but neither of them work. This error just shows when I just read the info of the .cia on DevMenu, it doesn't even leave me to try to install it. On FBI I get a similar error, SUMMARY_INVALID_ARGUMENT (0x7). I already googled it, but all I found were people saying they couldn't install DevMenu and other tools like that because of signature patches.
I already selected all signature realted options on >cakes, but still.
Thought I could install some games in the past I can't now.
>>136180453
Not him but how?
I'm also on aurei.
Do I need cakes to inject GBA?
The info.text says that the .cia is not firmware spoofed for use in CFW. Is that anything I have to worry about?

>>136182937
>is there any benefit to using arm9loader
There is. Not really great ones, though.
Faster bootrate, 100% bootrate, unbrickable at any time (unless you fucked up hardware-wise), being able to run CFW on sysNAND making the emuNAND disappear, therefore less battery drain and probably some other things that I don't know of.
>>136183004
yes as opposed to stoppingjust before doing anything in part 5
>>136183209
Say the correct name.
I can't downgrade at all for some reason on 10.7 using the Oot hack method, plus Plailect guide. I always get "updates installed. to restart, press B" then I'm stuck on the black screen every single time, and yes I've already tried taking out the SD several times to see if it fixes it. Am I doing something wrong?
>>136183141
Also you get that emuNAND space back on your SD card
>>136183335
You're not using "safe"sysupdater, are you?
>>136183414
Not that I'm aware of. I followed what was said in the guide, but every time I try to downgrade it works, but I'm stuck on the black screen so I'm forced to update.
>Copy sysUpdater.3dsx and sysUpdater.smdh to the /3ds/ folder on your SD card from the sysUpdater zip for your firmware version
>>136183618
While sysupdater is running, do all cias install correctly and without errors?
Should I install .cia on the SD or on the alternative?
>>136183671
Yes, they all installed correctly and gave me the message "updates installed. to restart, press B". I've done this three times in the last hour, but every single time I'm stuck on the black screen forever. This is including when I turn it off after several minutes to try the SD card troubleshoot. I got the power error message every time.
>>136183771
Games on the sd card.
>>136183791
Are you on a n3ds? This sort of thing really shouldn't happen on o3ds, if all cias install correctly then it should boot up fine.

Sorry for the late reply I had to do something.

The files may be named the same, but are you sure you actually downloaded them from the same link that I sent you? If so, I don't know, keep trying I guess. And yeah the update files seem correct

>If something is hard, it's never going to happen, so I must tell everyone to give up because otherwise they would ask if it is possible every day!!!!
Why wouldn't you just tell them that it's hard and MIGHT never happen instead, which is the truth? That makes no sense at all.
>b-but le askfags
All of the people asking for it so far ask it only the first time, because they don't know if it's possible or not. Just tell them the truth.
>>136185247
>>136184964
Okay, everything installed again just fine. I'm pressing B. How long should I wait on the black screen?
>>136185474
You shouldn't wait at all, it should just boot. Take out the sdcard, turn it off and then back on and if it doesn't boot in 5-10 seconds you're screwed, recover back to 10.7
>>136185556
>Take out the sdcard, turn it off and then back on and if it doesn't boot in 5-10 seconds you're screwed, recover back to 10.7
Nothing happened, again. This is the 4th time now tonight I've been forced to recover.
>>136185714
Tough shit, you're either being a retard or your 3ds is broken, in any of those two scenarios you won't be pirating games any time soon
>>136185771
Might be my 3ds because I've followed everything in the guide and triple checked. Oh well.
>>136185714
have you tried the latest safesysupdater? it's been fixed so it's not garbage and has a checker that can verify a few things before you start.
other than that, all i can suggest is trying with a different sd card. if you're on a j-region n3ds, i think you have to delete a specific cia for it to go through.
>>136185882
Update back to 10.7 and try this sysupdater https://gbatemp.net/attachments/safesysupdater-rar.41963/
so for putting a theme on my 3ds do i extract somewhere?
>>136185913
I have not. I've only tried what was said in the Plailect guide.
>>136185953
Thank you. I'll try it out once I finish updating.
>>136186023
Yep!
>>136186045
make sure if you use safesysupdater, you use the latest version listed at the bottom of the title post in this thread
https://gbatemp.net/threads/wip-safesysupdater.409392/
older versions can cause bricks
>>136186045
No prob, let me know how it goes, I'm pretty intrigued on why it's not working for you
Any good Sudoku games for 3DS?
Also looking for an official cia of Mario's Picross.
And any recommendations for puzzle games, super into them right now. Can't wait for Twilight Princess Picross to be dumped.
>>136186119
fuck off memer that link is older than the one the other guy sent him, kill yourself
can you have multiple themes on your sd cards folder at once?
>>136186328
that's the release thread for safesysupdater, which always has the most up-to-date build by the guy who makes it
the link the other guy gave was not safesysupdater, it was bob's build. if one person's mod isn't working, a different mod sometimes does.
>>136186420
No, if you even attempt it your sd card will spontaneously combust and then collapse into a black hole so massive it will devour our entire universe
>>136186587
oh well that wouldnt be good, how about .cia's that come in 2 parts what do you do with those?
I'm on 10.6 with OotHax installed and homebrew running.
Do I just follow Part 2 of the Plailect guide now to downgrade to 9.2? Does it take a long time to do?
>>136186285
Picross e1-5 if you haven't already played them, pokemon picross, Box Boy! is a puzzle platformer you may like, prof layton games, Doctor Lautrec, James Noir's Hollywood Crimes, Mighty Switch Force are puzzle-platformers as well.
There is also Picross 3d 2 if you don't mind moon

Soft bricked again. I guess I'll keep trying tomorrow.
>>136187147
if you're on o3ds it shouldn't take very long at all

I'm currently following this after installing another menuhax on SysNAND
https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-3-(EmuNAND)
It says that on step 26
>Boot EmuNAND, then change your theme in EmuNAND to uninstall menuhax from EmuNAND; it can cause problems if you don't and having a different theme on each will help you to tell them apart
>If you see the SysNAND folder, then you are not on EmuNAND. DO NOT UPDATE, FIND WHAT WENT WRONG
I already changed the theme menu but the SysNAND folder is still there.
And I remember previously the theme I set up for SysNAND was blue. When I boot emumand manager from homebrew the theme is set to default.
What am I doing wrong? How do you go to EmuNAND properly?

>>136187570
Even if that were a factor rather than basic trolling, what would it have to do with your previous claim?
>>136187627
None of these were fresh actually. The eShop thing is only for if you're missing certain files, which most used 3DS's have.
Honestly this is great. It took really long to install everything but now I have to say that I feel really great after not playing a video game for two years. Thanks for the help.

Starting out with Plailect's guide, I have:
-put the starter kit on the MicroSD
-changed the date to 1/1/2000 and time to 0000
-haven't connected to the internet yet (it's a brand new N3DS),
he talks about opening the browser settings as fast as possible and Initialize Savedata as fast as possible
I hate arbitrary shit like this, where are these settings on the screen so I can scroll to them quickly? Is there a picture of how it looks so I know what to look for? Don't want to fuck it up.

what do i do with runefactory coming with 2 files, one much bigger then the other but theyre both named the same thing and dont merge
>>136187721
What entrypoint/sysupdater were you using? Did you literally do nothing but set up hbl and go straight to downgrading?
>>136188034
How do you know if you're on emunand or sysnand aside from the folder indicator?
>>136188363
Yeah literally. This was also just using julian20's. I've said this a few times now, but in case you missed it, here are my superstitions:
I used a high quality, fast Samsung card. It probably did help.
I did run ftpd once, but did not rush through any menus.
After I launch sysUpdater, I don't press Y immediately, preferring to wait 3-5 seconds.
Then I hit Y once, wait a second, and spam Y for a few seconds.
Every time I did this, it started and didn't even freeze. I like to think my superstitions helped and seriously doubt I'm just that lucky.
