she means instead of launching NTR, use the BOOT to launch sysupdater. i mean, i'm not the best with coding, but i took that hint. if i knew how the 3DS code works, i would have done this for everyone right now.
is this means we just change the
SystemContentPrefixURL and ContentPrefixURL in GetAccountStatus_response.xml
SystemContentPrefixURL in GetSystemUpdate_response.xml
value to match the path of our webserver host

Considering the only way to boot on 8.1 is through CN QR code, I'm not really sure whether you could take BootNTR's code right off the bat. Probably still could just launch NTR and use the debugger like what was done before.
We just don't know how to set up the server hosting the update packs.
why don't you just put the methods online, have people look at it and let people judge by themselves if it's safe or not? if it's not safe, then you're just giving gateway more profits. if it is safe, then you might actually make a dent on their business even by a small margin. whatever you do, you still lose. not like i'm itching to use your method anyway. gateway works for me and i already own it, i don't see why i would move to an unstable cfw at this point.
Put it online, huh? Hosting copyrighted stuff can get you deep in trouble, if you can come up with my attorney's fee against nintendo, I will right now put it online.
i'm not telling you to put the files online, just the method and steps for people to see and judge. if you think that's illegal, then the whole reinand and rxtools tutorial should have been taken down already since there are a bunch of references getting files from that one iso site, that's for sure.
i'm not going to be using the service from @Ronhero even if it's free, at least not with his attitude. at least @cultopi only asked for shipping, but then i gave him the pros and cons of shipping in a couple of posts back as well.
either way, i don't really care what happens if the service doesn't click or it does. if it does, good for you guys. but just saying, the only way for gateway to triumph is for people with knowledge to do the same thing as gateway.
Assuming you are redirecting calls for the update files from nus.wsapi.broadon.com to your own server and are on windows, could you not just modify the "host" file to point 127.0.0.1 to nus.wsapi.broadon.com(or actually vice versa). That way you should not have to change any of the original files and the problems would be mostly solved.

this is the part that actually loads NTR: https://github.com/44670/BootNTR/blob/master/source/main.c#L663
Anybody want to try to figure out how to replace it with sysupdater? source code for that is https://github.com/profi200/sysUpdater

Oh sorry but how do you run an unsigned CIA? via what? if with GW it would still have firmlaunch and yeah brick.
A better choice may be asking @profi200 if his sysupdater could be adjusted to run using CubicNinja. If so whaaaa profit.
I would thank him if this could be done, or be politely rejected.
Also how about your own console? Have you updated it good? And how about your own server?
I've just made a PHP script my own for this, See attachment. This modify the URL in XML automatically. Newer UnpackCdnCia included.
Also this could response to GetSystemCommonETicket so it seems i need no official server for the update then.
I've already tested it with my curl scripts that used for getting the SOAP response and requests.
WARN: I haven't tested it with my own console yet. GOOD: but everyone can modify the scripts freely if the new release is still GPL.
You would have 2 choices for the server, after modified the index.php for TitleHash.
If you're waiting to update 7.x/8.x to 9.0/9.2 i think you should choose the option 1.
1.Use official CDN SOAP response, taken from http://yls8.mtheall.com/ninupdates/reports.php
Should be safe. Yes, it should. You would have to use a complete package of update CIAs.
And you would have to modify the SOAP you get to something like the template "GetSystemUpdate.template.9.2.0-20J.xml" included.
And then replace the original GetSystemUpdate.template.xml that is around 1KB.
2.Use UnpackCdnCia generated contents. FsSize should be incorrect - however this size is quite confusing and i don't know how to calculate it correctly. TitleHash might be incorrect - if you're using a complete package, it is good. This is left for testing purpose. Then? what if titleversion inside tmd is modifed too..
Well You can play with it freely as you please, just keep it GPL if you release it again.
EDIT: I've forgot two things..
1.Thanks for yellows8 for offering those SOAP resposes. Yes this is not mentioned in the install.txt included.
2.The PHP script needs PHP 7.0, and Nodejs script needs a Nodejs executable.
----
And for @Ronhero. Hope your server is more stable than this. For that expense for those shipping consoles it is good if they can not get it done themselves. And, thank you for offering the access to whoever needed.

wow this escalated quickly.
So let me sum up the options here:
1. send n3DS to Ron and he does the job for a fee (?)
2. get CN from cultopi via ebay and do it yourself, provided you have server knowledge (?)
3. wait for a dev to build on Yifan's idea of mixing ntr+sysupdater (but it seems that would still require CN?)
damn, no light in sight at the end of the tunnel yet.
Btw, please don't close this thread. It's Yifan's, not Ron's and besides it would just move the problem to another thread.

So you did it? Nice!
I suppose you had to use CN?
Btw julialy, you confirmed you updated 8.1J to 9.2J using your download play method, so wtf...
I wasted 20 bux on eshop because of his fake method. If he pays me back, he can update on my server .....

Yep! Done it with my Sky3DS.
Was a tense moment filled with bugs what not. That reminds me, @Ronhero , you might wanna find someone over the internet to try if it works or something if you haven't tried yet. When I did this with @cultopi yesterday, there was some small bugs apparent that prevented the update from downloading and gave errors that could be fixed. If you don't plan to, you can ignore this statement.
