I'm not particularly fond of a tutorial for this, but the existing one is outdated, so I might as well write this, if only to prevent the other guide from being the only one while not working.

This tutorial will cover installation using Corbenik CFW Updater: RE.

Notes:
The author of the CFW is NOT responsible for Corbenik CFW Updater: RE or this method of installation.
Corbenik CFW Updater: RE is not endorsed or supported by chaoskagami.
Also, it's not really hard to set up the CFW with a PC. This method has the sole advantage of not needing a PC.

Corbenik vs. Skeith:
Soo, what's the difference? Well. Corbenik CFW is the stable version aka release version.
Skeith is the exact same thing as Corbenik CFW - however, they're the nightly versions. While Skeith is generally stable enough for daily use, inexperienced users shouldn't mess with it (or, to be honest, with a CFW like this at all, really).
Pick either. Corbenik is installed to "sdmc:/corbenik" and Skeith to "sdmc:/skeith".


Requirements:

• A 3DS with Arm9LoaderHax and a CIA manager like FBI
  
• Corbenik CFW Updater: RE

Tutorial:

1. Download and install Corbenik CFW Updater: RE (you can do so from the official page or TitleDB/FBI/Homebr3w).
2. Open Corbenik CFW Updater: RE.
3. Select the option to install the CFW you want (either Corbenik or Skeith).
4. Corbenik/Skeith will be downloaded, along with the required files.
5. You'll be prompted to reboot once it finishes. Press A.
6. You'll boot into the Corbenik/Skeith menu. Pick the patches you want (FIRM protection, signature patches, autoboot, etc.)
7. Go back to the Corbenik menu and hit "Boot firmware". It should boot you into the Home Menu.

But really, if you need a tutorial, you shouldn't be messing with a CFW where FIRM protection isn't on by default.


NOTES: If you encounter issues, it's because either Corbenik/Skeith or the Updater are broken. If this does not work, follow the instructions in Corbenik's repo.

What are differences between this and other cfw like Luma and cakes?

Well, like Cakes, and unlike Luma, it gives you absolute control. It uses bytecode patches and all (and has a cool name/version string).

Yo! I got a thread for that!
Shameless plug right here for ya!

My only question is: how would I install it alongside of Luma3DS (cause the tutorials and wiki's are a bit leanient on what they consider "easily do-able") and keep my ability to run pkmn sun/ssb4 (advanced RAM games) (just so that I can learn my way around coding, and so I can trust my friends around my 3ds without worrying they'll brick something and I won't know what they did.)

Honestly, at this point, I probably shouldn't even be putting this CFW on my 3ds cause I'll end up tinkering and irreversibly brick my console.

Huh. Corbenik does support extended RAM games. Also, you can either use a bootloader or my own Quick Payload Switcher.

 

[dotqurter_]

Oh. I was going off the Luma3DS's thing with "Enable custom path", as it said something about extended RAM games not working properly (can't find it now, thats weird.) and I'll be using Luma3DS a bit more than Corbenik.
Any chance I could have a link to that "Quick Payload Switcher" of your's?
EDIT: Never mind, found your quickswitch .cia on the releases of your github

Luma needs a custom path patch *if you change the path from the default one*. Corbenik doesn't need it.

Quick question: Luma3DS has a .bin payload, however I cannot seem to locate (the lamb sauce) the .bin payload for Corbenik (which is about 90% of the reason why I'm having trouble installing it.)

Corbenik does, too. This guide is just a way of installing it through my own tool, Corbenik CFW Updater: RE. If you want to install from scratch, check https://github.com/chaoskagami/corbenik

 

[dotqurter_]

But wouldn't that overwrite my current arm9loaderhax.bin with the Corbenik CFW's a9lh .bin?

You can do that, you can also setup Corbenik to boot from external loader. So you can boot Corbenik as a Luma3DS payload or from a bootloader.
Also this guide is really out of date. The official repos have the up to date guide

Of course, gardevoir's panties raider would be here, she pretty much worships this CFW.
Anyway, I still don't see where the .bin for it appears at. Does it create it at first launch?

Are you not able to find the arm9loaderhax.bin or the location for the payloads?
Payloads goes in
For Corbenik

/corbenik/boot

For Skeith

/skeith/boot

You don't have to rename or anything, just copy and paste the payloads you want into that folder and they will show up in the chainloading menu.
So if you want Decrypt9, just copy the "Decrypt9WIP.bin" into that folder and you're done.

 

[dotqurter_]

Unless it uses a general arm9loaderhax.bin (or my download got corrupted somehow), I do not have any files in the /corbenik/boot filepath. I have a feeling that its a me issue.

EDIT: I found A arm9loaderhax.bin, but its at ~(SDCARD root)/corbenik/arm9loaderhax.bin, along with a couple other files that seem out of place. To be exact, 5 files, named: arm9loaderhax.bin, corbenik.elf, generate_localeemu.sh, LICENSE.txt, n3ds_firm.sh, o3ds_firm.sh, and README.md. Also, I've noticed an extra "corbenik" folder inside of the "corbenik" folder, with the rest of the filepaths inside.

NOTE: running a O3DS, hardware dating around end of 2012, beginning of 2013 (from what I remember)

arm9loaderhax.bin goes into the root of your SD card, along with the folder named "corbenik". You don't need to worry about corbenik.elf, generate_localeemu.sh, LICENSE.txt, and README.md
n3ds_firm.sh and o3ds_firm.sh are used to download and place the firmware files in the right locations, so you don't have to do that manually. But I am not sure if the .sh files will work on Windows since they were made for Linux.

 

[dotqurter_]

Windows compatibility shouldn't be a problem since I'm using Ubuntu.

(Whelp, I forgot how to run stuff from the linux terminal, time to pull out the old "Linux Programming Bible" (yes i have a nearly 800page book about linux programming from 1998))

So, everything except arm9loaderhax.bin, the two x3ds_firm.sh's, and skeith can be deleted?

Pretty much. You can delete the .sh file after you use it to get the firmware files.

Okay, I got it running
(now just a 10 minute search of what patches to enable for it)
