Installing CFW (reinand/cakesfw/rxTools) to new3DS FW Ver. <= 9.2 with Ninjhax 1.x
NOTE: THIS GUIDE IS OUT OF DATE! NOWADAYS I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU TO FOLLOW THIS GUIDE: http://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial...luding-emunand-coldboot-cia-installer.405589/
ATTENTION: This guide does not come without any risk ... potetionally you've could leave traces in sysnand which Nintendo might be able to find ... use at your own risk ... you have been warned!
Hardware Requirements:
- Cubic Ninja (Retail or eShop (JPN only!))
- microSD Card (sizes up to 16GB have been tested by me)
- Your new3DS (9.0.0-X up till 9.2.0-X, for X is between 7 and 20.)
- Your PC (everything that can handle a microSD Card will be fine )
- microSD CardReader (everything your pc can handle will be sufficient!)
Software Requirements:
- Ninjhax 1.x (tested with 1.1b)
- Pasta CFW (tested with 1.3 (beta 7))
- Gateway Launcher (tested with Gateway Ultra 3.4.1)
- FBI Installer (1.4.14)
- Reinand (>= 2.1) / Cakesfw (>= 2.6) / rxTools (>= 3.0)
- Optional: Free-Multi-Patcher (>= 0.5 Beta)
Let's start ...
1. Download the software Requirements (i will not tell you were to get those things ... you have to find them on your own)
2. Insert your new3DS' mircoSD Card into your PC using a CardReader
3. Copy all the files from Ninjhax, PastaCFW, Gateway Launcher, FBI installer and the CFW of your choice onto your mircoSD Card (and keep a backup on your PC for the moment after you've reached step #6!)
4. Unmount it from your PC, insert it into your new3DS
5. Launch Cubic Ninja and scan Gateways QRCode ... wait for Gateway to install itself onto the Cubic Ninja cartridge (all this will need Wifi Connection!!!)
6. In the Gateway launcher menu select "Format emunand". Shutdown when finished
(IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE YET ALREADY ... CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR NAND NOW ... YOU CAN FIND THIS OPTION IN THE GATEWAY MENU !!!!)
7. Remove microSDCard from your new3DS and copy over all of your files again! Turn on your new3DS again and launch Cubic Ninja
8. In the main menu press "L+R+X+Y" at once ... and select to delete the save data
9. Scan the QR-Code for Ninjhax. Press A to install Ninjhax to Cubic Ninja (all this will need Wifi Connection!!!)
10. In the hombrew launcher menu, select Pasta CFW and boot it
11. Having booted into Pasta CFW, launch Cubic Ninja again ... and launch FBI from the hombrew launcher menu this time
12. In FBI select to install FBI.cia to SDCard ... you maybe also want to install FreemultiPatcher.cia with the same settings right now, so you can later easily circumvent region locks in your emunand
14. Wait for it to finish and shutdown your new3DS. Remove the microSD Card from the new3DS and turn it on again
15. Unlink your emunand from sysnand via System Settings > Other Settings > Format System Memory.
16. Once done with setting sysnand up properly again turn off the new3DS, insert mircoSD Card again and launch the CFW of your choice (Reinand / Cakesfw / rxTools >= 3.0) via Cubic Ninja > Homebrew launcher menu.
17. See FBI (and maybe even the Free-Multi-Patcher, if you've chosen to install it) on your main menu ... Start it and install CIA files from your mircoSD Card (to your microSD Card) ... and profit
(optional)
20. Update your emunand for better compatibility. At the time when this tutorial was written you can only update your emunand to Version 9.5. To Update your emunand you can use FBI with update files created by 3dnus (https://gbatemp.net/threads/3dnus.376488/)
21. Make a backup of your microSD Card ... otherwise if you get the "update notification" nag screen ... there's no way to easily remove it from emunand )
I hope this will help people struggeling with the same problems that i've faced in achieving CFW on new3DS
