Arm9 access? Well, still no for a Korean New 3DS :(
(Korean New 3DSes started with 9.3...)

9.3 has the same good old arm9 exploit 9.2 has. 9.4 as well. The only reason we go to 9.2 is Because it has the more stable arm11 kernel exploit memchunkhax(1).

In theory we can fairly easily get arm9 on 9.3-9.4 by using memchunkhax 2 to get kernel then executing the old arm9 exploit. They never actually fixed that till about 9.5

Whenever I launch SafeA9LHInstaller from the Homebrew Menu I get stuck on a non responsive black screen, and I can't press select to start the installation. I just successfully followed the downgrade guide from 11.1.0.34 and I'm on a N3DS. Anyone know what I need to do?

did you even read the OP? You need to be on 9.2, which the guide walks you through...
My apologizes, I've been bouncing around all over the place trying to find this information. I didn't see the 9.2 part, however I can't seem to find the part in Plailect's guide on downgrading to 9.2. I am using the second 3DS method, could that be the reason? Again, I am sorry for not seeing this sooner, its been a long day of trying to figure this out.

you probably followed this: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/DSiWare-Downgrade if so, at the bottom of that page you'll see a link that says "Continue from Homebrew Launcher (No Browser)." click there and continue

I'm going to be helping out a friend with a N3DSXL 9.1J with EmuNAND. I have two questions:

1) Has anyone done this method with a Japanese system?

2) After installing A9LH, I can use EmuNAND9 to extract the EmuNAND and then just inject it in the SysNAND and be done, right?

1) this method is region agnostic

2) if only there was a guide that helped you install this hack and told you how to deal with almost all of the nuances..... Oh wait there is one of those! -_-

OK, so I have N3DS with A9LH on LUMA3DS 6.3.1( sys 10.7.0-32EU).
So, is there any benefit of reinstalling A9LH on my console using this new method without OTP (which I obviously already extracted)?
I ask this because I usually update my A9LH, LUMA3ds...to latest version, so I have the latest available version of A9LH prior to this OTP-less one.

My current setup is:
Menuhax, CtrBootManager, CakesFW
SysNAND (9.2) RedNAND (10.6)

I have ninjhax for HBL exploit.

Do I just wipe everything out except my "Nintendo 3DS" folder and then copy all the files from Part 3 of Plailect's Guide?
https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-3-(A9LH)

Finally, do I need to somehow remove Menuhax before I run the SafeA9LHinstaller?

So nervous and excited at the same time. Thanks

You don't even need to wipe anything. If you were running a emunand to play your games (and also has a n3ds) you just need to put the necessary files on the SD, then boot into your sysnand, get to homebrew menu by the way of your choice and then run SafeA9LHIstaller and press select. I've got a black screen on the first run both times I've used this method, but just reboting and trying again worked for me. Also I'd recommend deleting menuhax since it's a bit buggy and you won't need it anymore

--EDIT--

Sorry for not noticing. The same applies to RedNAND

So technically, could I just do this and hold SELECT on boot and set it to use EmuNAND and have everything like before except 100% bootrate? I know people suggest moving EmuNAND to SysNAND, but I can do that later right?

--EDIT--

It's working!!! Thanks mate!

So i just got the latest release of safea9lh installer, but one of the bullets said this....
  • A9LH installation on New 3DSes is now performed with the "OTPless" method (you need 10.0 New 3DS NATIVE_FIRM as firm0_100.bin in a9lh to do this).
im doing this on a friend's 3ds, so i cannot mess this up. Do i need a 10.0 native firm to do it otpless? How would i even change that on a 9.2 sysnand?

it is included in the data_input zip file provided in the guide itself. The bullet should say "a9lh folder".
