Important:-
- This is meant to be used only on EMUNAND. Don't try this on sysnand and you will or might brick!
- Before starting any of this make sure to make backup of your emunand. You were warned!
- And to clarify this isn't actually frakenfirmware. You are just "selectively updating" 3ds via official updates and by not installing 2-3 titles that are not compatible with Gateway you can boot the firmware and even go online. You can actually just do a system update from setting in case you want to update your firmware fully.

Most of us, including me were stuck on 11.2 emunand for Gateway cheats. In return we couldn't play online as system wont go online unless updated, like you all have seen that error on friend list that asks you to update. Anyways here is the method to almost completely update to 11.4 with online access and it is "working as of now".

I own a US N3DS and this tut makes use of system titles compatible with this model only. While many titles might be similar others might not be so just find the alternate titles for your region/model.
Again if you don't do this you may brick!​

And some Reference from https://3dbrew.org/wiki/Title_list

There wasn't much to do tbh as most of the updated titles for 11.4 were already compatible with gateway.
These were the titles that were updated from 11.2-11.4 in case of US N3DS.

EDIT- It seems you can skip steps 4-6, if you get online access with just first 3 steps!
However in any rare case you are getting lag on wifi manger do complete steps.​

Steps-
1- Backup your emunand.
2- Download the titles marked with green with 3DNUS or any similar piece of software. These are the latest titles anyways.
3- Use sysupdater and put all the green marked titles in updates folder. Update and restart.

4 You need just one more title 0004013000002D02, but you wont be installing the latest version as mentioned above. For this first download v9216(from 8.0.0 update) with 3dsnus mark it as old and v10240(from 9.0.0) update and mark this as new.
5-Spoof the v10240 version with hxd to v11264 which is the current one.

How to spoof the cia version?
Manual Way/Offline:
(This is from my old thread tut)
In this case I am taking example of 0004001000021000.cia[US].
http://yls8.mtheall.com/ninupdates/titlelist.php?sys=ctr&wiki=1 shows that we have v8203 from 9.0 update and we need to spoof it to atleast v9221(or more if you wish) which was in 9.6 update.
Open hxd and look for offset 00002F90 and then 0C-0D have your version no in hexadecimal. convert it decimal with this. In our case it is 20 0B with means 8203 in decimal and now again use decimal to hex to convert v9221 to hex which is 24 05 in hex. Now just overwrite 20 0B with 24 05 and save.
This completes the spoofing of version.
Alternate Way- If the title can be downloaded via 3dnus you can use the option "change version number to" before downloading that title and it will automatically spoof the version no to what you want to set.

6- Then open FBI and install the title 0004013000002D02 marked as old(v9216). Reboot and then install the new marked one(which should be now spoofed to show as v11264).
7-Restart and check Friend List, you should have online access unless you were ninty banned xD.
8- Donot attempt to system update from settings because it will install the remaining 2 non-compatible titles and you will be left with a bricked emunand. After gateway supports 11.2+ firmware you can update the system.


FAQ
Q:What does 0004013000002D02 do? Why are we using a super old version of it, not even the version from 11.2?
A:It wont allow you to directly install the spoofed version of 11.2. So you first downgrade it with old one and in the same run just install the spoofed 11.2 one.

Q:What do I use to download update files?
A: https://gbatemp.net/threads/3dnus.376488/. Use 1.9 for n3ds and 1.8 for o3ds. There is a new updated version too but I used this.

Q:Why don't we spoof the other 2 titles too?
A: Because I tried that many times and gateway always bricks the emunand no matter. Plus I found you actually don't need to spoof them as online still worked.

Q: Ughh.. I dont know which files I need to download for my region/model?
A: From the links given, gather the title list that need updating, and just remove the 3 titles you shouldn't install as stated, they are same for all. Rest follow the guide.

Q:Will sysupdater brick me on gateway doing this. I read a warning?
A: Only if you don't follow this guide exactly . This is what backups are for and make sure to create one so you can always restart. This has to be done on GATEWAY-EMUNAND mode only! If you are paranoid install the titles via FBI and you can achieve the same results.

Q: Will this Game/DLC work now that we have 11.4 emunand set up?
A: The emunand is good to go, but gateway might/will block certain dlc like FE: shadow's one. They install just fine in cfw mode on the same emunand, Gateway needs to fix their launcher!

Quick Question: I am currently on 10.1 EMUNAND and
9.2 SYSNAND using RXTools.

How to update EMUNAND to 11.4 without breaking everything?

 

[Kazuma77]

This thread derailed fast, can we stay on topic plz, ie getting a working 11.4/11.5 emunand for GW.

You're right. I redirected the person I was trying to help to a new release of mine that will hopefully help them. I've advised continuing the conversation there.

Quick Question: I am currently on 10.1 EMUNAND and
9.2 SYSNAND using RXTools.

How to update EMUNAND to 11.4 without breaking everything?

I would download the 11.2 and 11.4 sets with 3DNUS. Then use SysUpdater to install the 11.2 files first. Then copy the 11.4 files over, but remove the 3 mentioned in the first post on the first page, and also leave out 000400300000CC02 (though that's D402 on an EUR console for others that might be reading this) and 0004013000008002 if your system is an O3DS. Then just update with SysUpdater again.


Though there's something else you may need to do first. rxTools is obsolete to put it mildly. I'm fairly certain 11.2 finally killed it off for good. So, it probably won't be able to boot into your EmuNAND anymore if you update it. I can understand if you were hesitant to install A9LH (though it got easier near the end), but B9S is as easy to setup as Menuhax. There's really no good reason not to do it.

First, follow the guide here. Keep your EmuNAND if it suggests deleting it, but feel free to follow the part about copying your EmuNAND to your SysNAND and updating it to 11.5, because that's actually a great idea. Just keep a backup copy of your 9.2 in case you want to create a second EmuNAND. You can use 3DS Multi EmuNAND Creator to do that, but it will format your card, so you would need to back it up first. Now, the guide only gives you a minimal configuration, which does not include Gateway. So, grab this for a pre-made configuration that has Gateway already setup for you (there's a more complete version on a certain iso site in the CFW discussion section if you know what I'm referring to). There's actually 3 different ones. I'd recommend BootCTR9, because you can switch your default payload to GW when you find yourself using that more.

I've also included some Godmode9 scripts (hotkey is left if you use BootCTR9) that will install Luma to CTRNAND (you can skip that part of the guide and just run the script), and sync tickets between SysNAND and EmuNAND if they're linked (if you copy EmuNAND to SysNAND, they will be), so that you can install games on one, run the script in Godmode9, then boot to the other one and have everything show up (once in GM9, you hit home, "More", and "Scripts" to get to the scripts menu). You can have Luma running in 11.5 that way, and GW running a partial 11.4, with all the same games.

I am using a 2DS EUR and launching rxtools via MSET exploit. Can't i just exchange the rxtool files with luma3d files and then launch my EMUNAND via luma3d?
If so, what files do I have to update on SD card?

No. Luma doesn't support MSET, Menuhax, or even A9LH anymore. Only B9S provides access to ARM11 at boot. Which is required for the new features they're working on. If you want the leader of the pack, there's only one way to get it. And it's not complicated. They actually did you a huge favor by forcing you to upgrade. You'll see once it's running. And you'll kick yourself for not switching to an at-boot exploit sooner.

Will this work to update Gateway Emunand to 11.5?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Haven't tried yet, but it should work. Will report back once I have tried.

Does it work for 11.5 selective update? My little sister likes to click things and I'm afraid she accidentally clicks the "update now" button in the emunand(I am prompted to update everytime I boot up Emunand "Your download is ready, click to install now.".

Hello all, just made a new account to share somthing that seems to have gone under the radar in another thread with a similar workaround. I am a Gateway user with sysNand 4.4, emuNand 11.2 confirming an easier method to play 3ds games online. Here is the thread where I obtained the following information: http://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-p...re-11-4-without-ctr-httpwn-cfw-needed.468834/

Basically, instead of installing all of those cias, I installed only one cia. That cia is '0004013000003202.cia'. I used Title Manager to install it into my 11.2 emuNand and tested it using Smash Bros. And even though the thread says for 11.4, as 11.5 is now the current firmware, this method still works.

If you're curious as to how it works, the OP in that other thread did not specify how he knew why or how this specific cia works in obtaining online. But on the title ID database, its listed as the friend system module so there's that.

Feel free to use any method both will work for 11.5. using this method you are actually updating the emunand to 11.4/5(even if not complete), but if your end need is online access, you are free to choose whatever you seem better.

It should work I really don't see any reason it wont.

Really wish someone had tried and giving some feedback... today I'll b e the guinea pig

 

[chrisluna413]

so what are the .cias we need to install to get this working on 11.5??

 

[Draxzelex]

so what are the .cias we need to install to get this working on 11.5??

I managed to get it work with only one CIA, not CIAs. That cia is '0004013000003202.cia'. I don't know which CIAs OP is referring to nor if it will work or not, but what I do know is I managed to get online using this CIA alone so for starters, you can try this one when you download the update via 3DNUS.

Anyone yet figure out how to do this with 11.6? ctr-httpwn has also stopped working.

 

[GalladeGuy]

Anyone yet figure out how to do this with 11.6?

Don't use this. Gateway is very unstable and not safe to use. Just use Luma3DS. If for some strange reason you would rather use a Gateway, Luma supports Gateway cards with some tweaking on the latest firmware.

 

[Zap Rowsdower]

Luma supports Gateway cards with some tweaking on the latest firmware.

Uh, well this would certainly be news to me. Also in a thread specifically dedicated to working around the later firmwares on Gateway's CFW, I really would have thought I'd be spared the 'Don't use Gateway' response.

 

[GalladeGuy]

Uh, well this would certainly be news to me. Also in a thread specifically dedicated to working around the later firmwares on Gateway's CFW, I really would have thought I'd be spared the 'Don't use Gateway' response.

Why would you be? Gateway is obsolete, and there is no reason to use it.

 

[Zap Rowsdower]

Every person in this 8 page thread already knows that it's obsolete. It's kind of the point of the thread. See, before you post, you have to consider the context and audience before tossing a blanket statement into the one solitary thread left where it wouldn't work.

 

[Draxzelex]

Anyone yet figure out how to do this with 11.6? ctr-httpwn has also stopped working.

I can confirm that I can still go online with the '0004013000003202.cia' that has been unchanged since 11.4. It is really strange how ctr-httpwn has suddenly stopped working as most hackers have said that this update doesn't really affect the hacking scene but maybe they missed a thing or two. Regardless, I can't speak for the multiple CIAs that OP suggests for you to install in order to play online. However, if just this one CIA can enabled me to go online with my copy of Super Smash Bros., then surely his suggestion should work too. The decision for which one(s) to install is up to you.

 

[Zap Rowsdower]

Hm, I guess I'll have to try that again then. Initially after installing that .cia all that would happen is that my system menu would freeze on boot.
Edit: Must have been a faulty title installation as now there is no freezing on boot, but the e-shop, Miiverse, Badge Arcade all still throw an update required message after installing just that 0004013000003202 title.

That makes sense as this CIA only bypasses online check linked to your Friend Code or something. Those services require your Nintendo Network ID which is much more than just being on the supposed most current firmware. Since Miiverse is shutting down and Badge Arcade is an optional app, that leaves the e-Shop which can be bypassed so this Nintendo Network issue is not that big of a deal, to me at least.
