Hacking [Release] rxTools - Roxas75 3DS Toolkit [fw 2.0 - 9.2]

[piratesephiroth]

Wait. Is MSET possible without a Flashcart? I'd like to boot rxTools offline, but I don't have a Flashcart.

(You need to have downgraded your mset to 6.x or rxTools won't boot from the DS Profile)

After you copy the files to the 3DS's SD you can run the 3DS browser and visit
http://dukesrg.github.io/?mset/rxinstaller.bin

OR hit L+R on the home menu and scan this QR code:

The bottom screen will glitch a bit, then you hit home (or try to close the browser) and wait until it shows a message saying "an error has occurred".
Then you reboot the 3DS (not always necessary, but it usually does not work for me if I don't reboot)

First, your firm must be either 4.x or >7.0 with 6.0 MSET.
Put rxinstaller.bin in sd root.
And go to http://dukesrg.github.io/?rxinstaller.bin
If you can see bottom screen blinking, wait for 5 sec and press home button.

Would you mind linking me to spider ROP or a guide for it?

MSET work fine ?

MSET fork, i test "INJECT FBI" and Smach Bross

@nastys There is Github API for WebHook that may support a easier or clever way to do the builds.
Let it track the `push` and once get the notification, check the request's before and after hash.
You can also find the timestamp, use head_commit -> timestamp.
And then, let the webpage fire a build job.. git clone, make clean, make release, and then move the .zip package..
Using the content of request you can let it automatically set the hash, timestamp, and also even a latest.zip symlink.
Corresponding API pages: https://developer.github.com/v3/activity/events/types/#pushevent , https://developer.github.com/webhooks/

Or a harder way with the Github API. https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#get-branch
Still you can periodically execute it, in several minutes or more. And check the response commit -> sha, commit -> commit -> date.
If the sha different from the local stored one, some changes should be pushed, and you start the build.
URL: https://api.github.com/repos/<UserName>/<RepoName>/branches/<BranchName>
For example, JSON format: https://api.github.com/repos/roxas75/rxTools/branches/master

Well at least you don't need to build it again and again..

Seems your guide only confuses me so I'll explain myself a bit more.

I'd like to boot rxTools (which is currently installed) offline. I don't really understand what the MSET is, and I have no idea where to get these files. I'm kinda the biggest newbie about this stuff. Do I have to downgrade my emuNAND? If so, how do I do that?

mset is the system settings application. The best setup for a 3DS right now probably is to be on fw 7.x to 9.2 with the mset downgraded to 6.x.
I don't recommend upgrading to 9.x because if the nands are linked they'll both share the same theme, making it harder to tell which is which.

Too... complicated... for... me...
My bash script is smart enough anyway

So, should I downgrade my emuNAND? and also, I have no idea where to find this rxinstaller file.

No, your emunand can stay up-to-date. Wee're talking about your sysnand.
rxinstaller is part of the rxTools package.

It's possible to downgrade the Emunand ?

I hope you could ever think of the 2nd option. What you need to get and parse periodically is just an URL, given JSON report.
Check this out: https://api.github.com/repos/roxas75/rxTools/branches/master
You could use Anything that you prefer to perform, such as curl, nodejs, or other.
I personally can use nodejs or PHP for this. Just get it and parse, there are only two part of the report useful for a build bot.
Once you know it is changed, clone, clean, make, and rename the zip file.
I do suggest you to try out other things than the windows batch. Even *nix Shell script could do better than it. When still a better language could be used.

Okay, let me get this right. Downgrade sysNAND to 7.x.x, then install mset?

It was a typo...
It's actually a bash script
Anyway, if it's that simple, I'll give it a try, thanks

exactly! I downgraded mine to 8.1 then installed the 6.x mset.

 

[Uncee]

Okay, next order of business, how do I downgrade? I know it's possible using gateway, but is it possible using another method?

 

[Dean_]

Don't bother yourself to downgrade.
If your sysnand is 9.x, just install 6.x settings app(mset).
Formatting sysnand will unlink both nands, so no worries.

 

[piratesephiroth]

No, don't ever use Gateway. You need to use rxtools in devmode (I used beta 8). Download the update pack, install sysupdater on your sysnand and run it.

All the required files are available on a certain iso site, in a thread started by @pakrett
google for "[MEGA] [CIA/BIN] MSET 4.X & 6.X backups, Browser backups, Update packs (All Regions)" and you may find it

 

[WhoAmI?]

Can someone tell me what is the difference between these versions:

rxTools_08-31-15_17-29.f5de433.zip

rxTools_31-08-2015_17.25CEST_f5de433_unstable.zip

rxTools_08-31-15_17-29.f5de433.zip

@WhoAmI? @nastys @Orkna

They're all the same, judging by the hash on the end. My builds just have a little bonus in them.
