Oooook I now see how different it is haha

BTW @MassExplosion213 you never did answer my question in this post:

I'm to familiar with this process, I know I'll need a CTRNAND XORpad (I'll be generating that soon) and I know I'm going to need to extract the contents from the CIAs, probably with Decrypt9... after that is where I'm not sure on what exactly to do

So i managed to downgrade (what appears to be successfully) to 2.2.0-2E with a pack i get elsewhere which appears complete which is good.
However, then comes the QR code part. Currently trying the 2.1 QR code with CN which sort of works, as in i scan it and it seems to read it (top screen clears to black) then nothing.
@Normmatt do i need a different QR code to work on 2.2 or does it just take X amount of tries to get it to finish loading? Haven't tried the 1.0 or 1.1 QR codes yet but i guess they probably won't work.

Would you like to try some freshly created 1.0E cias? :P

Would you mind sharing a search string so we can find these CIAs?

I had the same problem until I was told to have both the code.bin from this thread and also the load.bin from the archive linked in the same post as the qr code in the SD root. Then it worked first try.

0x100*
the complete otp is 108 bytes but the last 8 bytes represent the twl console id and are not really needed
The OTP is 0x100, yes, but I was talking about the N3DS keystore at 0x12C00, which is the secret_sector.bin that the arm9loaderhax installer requires. :P

Oh well, there are plenty of leaks online anyway there's not really the need of dumping that too :P
