The issue with that is the firmware files would also need to be hosted, which is a bit of a legal issue - and the only reason I'm not going to host it on my server
Sadly, I can't use Cubic Ninja as I need the browser, OoT is the only option I see at the moment
False
True
The update files are still available, you can run your own server and use Yifan Lu's method.
It's as if you people don't look at one of the most active threads on this board
Partially unavailable (cannot be used to update)
False
Guys, currently there is *no* known method that updates 8.1J devices to 9.0-9.2.
That applies on N3DS with downgraded MSET.
Don't give people false hope.

When did you update yours? It WAS possible.There's literally a thread where people have done it and both of you are saying otherwise. I'm done
After since Nintendo removed some files(NATIVE_FIRM, BROWSER, etc.), that method is now broken. That is what I am saying.
I am fully aware the files were removed, and it has not stopped people. It literally does not matter.
The original method never connected your 3DS directly to Nintendo's servers. It changed the 3DS to connect to a non-HTTPS server, so there is literally no issue with authentication problems. Your 3DS only ever communicated with the server on your computer, which made the responses for the 3DS. You can just host the firmware files that the original script grabbed from Nintendo yourself.

If the method from that other thread works it should be pretty straight forward, like Tokiopop says everything is available and documented. Filesizes differ from the XML responses when converting the available update files back from CIA, but writing a script for that should be pretty easy. I assume the filesize difference was one of the last problems I had before trying it myself, that's why I shelved that idea for after my vacation.

"CFW" refers to the free options. RxTools, ReiNand, Cakes, etc.
No, it needs to be something that doesn't use firmlaunch I believe, otherwise you'll brick. Basically the only option for 8.1j n3DS is NTR with Cubic Ninja. OoT is possible but no one has done anything to get it running. I asked @cell9 for help with where to start so I could start looking into it, and yellow8's oot3dhax save generator is essentially private since ctrclient-yls8 is private. #3dsdev IRC weren't much help either, and just talked about changing the documentation of oot3dhax so it doesn't mention ctrclient-yls8 anymore
They also didn't even seem to be aware there was no public payload for 8.1 n3DS and tried linking me to smea's stuff. I would much rather spend a week learning something new and possibly help with getting a bit of movement with OoT (since I already own it) than fork out £40-60 for a Japanese copy of CN, but I'm honestly not sure where to begin.@Ronhero and @laramie were originally working on some stuff (MSET to launch pasta I believe?) but I don't think it ever came to fruition, publicly at least.

That's partially true. It made the 3DS fetch the update list from a different server, but the actual update files themselves were still fetched from Nintendo's servers. I don't think anyone has yet gone through the trouble to mirror the update data in the exact same format to make it possible to update a 8.1 without relying on Nintendo's servers at all.

Given he hasn't done it himself with the files removed from Nintendo's servers, I'd say Tokio is making an assumption from stuff he has read and doesn't fully know how it works.
Tokio if you want to make claims that everyone else doesn't agree with, you really need to make a proof of concept video.

Or, I also heard that if you use flash memory, it can act as more "RAM" at least windows tell me when I stick a flash drive into it. -
