You should update from menuhax to B9S, and it should be pretty simple.

Follow this guide to update to B9S. The difference for you will be that when you download SafeB9SInstaller, you should take SafeB9SInstaller.3dsx and use that in place of your boot.3dsx that you're using with menuhax.

It's easier then a9lh which required downgrading and not closing the lid when on 2.1,that caused many bricks last year.B9s now is just running the hbl,2 files that allow kernel acces then installing b9s through the b9s installer with no brick risk whatsoever.Follow 3ds.guide from the starting point if you are still on a menuhax setup.

been using menuhax and luma(emunand) the whole time, How easy is it to convert to arm9/boot9? I want to upgrade...
Start here: https://3ds.guide/homebrew-launcher-(soundhax)
Make sure you perform all of these steps from SysNAND! I recommend bypassing Menuhax (hold any button at start) and change your Home Menu Theme to remove menuhax so you don't accidentally boot into EmuNAND during the process. Install Soundhax using the guide I linked you and continue on from there.

been using the Emunand the whole time. Anyway to back up my games and saves or do I need to start fresh?
During the process, 3ds.guide will have you copy over your EmuNAND to your SysNAND after installing B9S, so you'll keep of your games, saves, and applications.

Once you arrive here ( https://3ds.guide/finalizing-setup ), after copying the CIA file's to the SD:/cias/ folder, follow this. It says so in the guide, but it's easy to miss. Remember to not skip ahead, though.

hmm alright, I will post when I'm done or stuck

thanks
To be clear, you're not putting SafeB9SInstaller into the payloads folder like the guide says. You're putting SafeB9SInstaller.3dsx somewhere you can launch it, whether it's in the 3ds folder so you can launch it from the homebrew launcher, or you're replacing your Luma3DS boot.3dsx with it so menuhax launches it on boot.

huh, wow, didn't expect anybody to still be on menuhax in 2017 o.o
I was still running Menuhax on all of 3DS's not too long ago. Was too scared of A9LH because of how delicate the process is, and I thought B9S was just as risky, until I found out how easy it was to upgrade.

I'm too new to know what rxtools really is, from what little I can gather, it's like the CFW equivalent of realplayer? :P
Rxtools was originally an emuNAND option for people who didn't want to update their sysNAND. However, it wasn't until later that it was updated with signatures patched. It then became the most popular CFW and remained that way until development stopped and Luma3DS took over.
