I want to do a follow up to my previous post. CakesFW does work, but requires an older firmkey.bin to already be in the folder. He's fixing it right now to generate it again.
jumped ship to sighax. pretty easy install if moving from a9lh.

If you intend on using luma, it's a requirement, as future updates won't be released in a9lh format.

Larger (unlimited?) payload size, the ability to use newer versions of Luma, the ability to easily dump your own bootroms so you can encrypt/decrypt stuff on your computer instead of needing a 3ds.
I'm more concerned with a separate bootloader like ctrbootmanager, since now that we are no longer booting from the SD card Luma3DS updates now carry a risk of bricking your 3DS.
so uh... just curious... why is everyone rushing to install this?
unless i missed something big, it doesn't seem like there's any immediate benefit over a9lh for the majority of the general public
i probably missed something big.

Newer versions of Luma will require it and the current sighax only Luma does have some layeredfs fixes.
Actually derrick decided to be obnoxious and release sighax exactly when boot9strap did.
Probably in an attempted to still be called the one that gave it to the community.
Also for those asking boot9strap and sighax are both essentially the same concept, but afaik slightly different implementations, boot9strap being to best supported already by the community. So sorry Derrek, but you are too late on this one. If you wanted to praise of it you should have released before the community figured it out without you.
They probably wont get updated considering GodMode9 already got updated and can do everything Decrypt9/Hourglass9 can do.
i see. i've got no qualms with my 3ds currently on a9lh, so i don't think i'll mess with sighax for now
easier decryption process sounds tempting though
Besides Luma 3ds future updates only being for this, Is there any benefits for just a casual user, or is all just for users that want to get into encrypt/decryt things for 3ds.
Based on the guide, it's because of secret_sector being damaged from a9lh install. Which is why boo9strap installer requires secret_sector.bin when upgrading from a9lh to b9s to fix it.
Its literally a five minute process.

Luma will require it from now on so you'll porbably want to do it to stay current.

Boot into godmode9 and restore ur nand backup
IMO, being able to pull down future system updates and being able to update your cfw accordingly is a pretty damn big benefit of going this route....

I'm doing good, just made my first drink of the day, so better now, Captain and Coke today. I had to cut grass all day, then get my hair cut. I messed with my wifey, she knew I was going to get hair cut, and I went and bought a purple dyed wig, and came home wearing it, she freaked out, thinking I dyed my hair purple, was funny.+1 -

Damn, I haven't been on here in while. My wife and I went on a mushroom trip like 10 years ago. A friend had a PS3TV with the glasses and some racing game. It hit when I was playing the game and I freaked out because I thought I was really driving and crashed. -
