It wouldn't? That's what it was meant for..hmm...
Nope that file is based at 0x08000000 while my my qr code loads load.bin to 0x23F00000 and it doesn't need that arm9 vector crap either. Or if you want to replace the code.bin that one is based at 0x20600000.

Did you use this QR code and the same otp dumping binary posted above to dump your otp or did you use a different method?
You can use cubic ninja to exploit 1.0.0E its not very stable but its enough to get basic arm9 control (after a few retries). Scanhttp://i.imgur.com/7Q35Tuy.png and it will load the file load.bin into fcram at 0x23F00000 and start execution (size is limited to 0x3000 bytes)

https://mega.nz/#!2RUyFJ4b!4j1P9Obt8utwZhMwMon3iwlIMXlHw0SRAfVrto8y3Ro Here's what I used. Basically, use the CN NAND Dumper that @Normmatt made, and just replace code.bin. I stripped down decrypt9 to save time, so that's where the credits should go lib-wise. IIRC it should create a file on the sd named OTP.bin, then it should shut off the console. In any case where it fails, it'll reboot. OTP.bin may have to already exist, I can't remember if I ever got around to fixing that.

Might want to tell people which qr code as that doesn't look like it'd work with my qr codes.

I was going to post the same link from normmatt. By the way, its really cool that your still wathching this @Normmatt .

Unfortunately I can't help more right now, I'll hardmod my EU n3ds tomorrow then take a closer look but you ( @Normmatt) can maybe provide the "up to date" tools (otp dumper for your 1.0 qrcode) for us, "normal people" :) (well to be fare its maybe something I'll be able to write myself as the big deal is your arn9 loader) but it can save a few hours/days.

nope , not right now , but i can hardmod it and backup the nand , update with a game to 4.5 and use decrypt9 to get xorpads to decrypt the 2.1 nand , i guess this is possible right?

Yes.

Also btw guys: I just tried downgrading my O3DS to 1.0... Shit hit the fan. For some reason it refuses to install certain files. I don't know for sure but I don't think the files provided to me are working even though @AHP_person got it working on his. My 3ds says it's on 1.0 but I recall only about 8 cia files making it through before errors. Anyway, I can't boot into any hax (still have 9.2 homemenu and browser but those don't work) and I have Cubic Ninja but that doesn't work either. Good news is that I own a sky3ds+ and am using it to update to 4.5 to restore my nand.. :P

Yea..it takes a bit. Some titles have to be manually downgraded.

Used Sysupdater, FBI and DevMenu and all had errors on certain files. Not sure how to delete a title before installing a new one on these installers tho.
I mean you have to do it with decrypted CIAs and a decrypted NAND.
