oh jesus fucking Christ i am saying you are not communicating clearly i am not literally calling you autistic
Oh my fucking God. Yes you did. Don't even pull that. Look I will try one more god damn time. To make it as easy as I can to explain it to you.

Go to my GitHub, open the repo named RenNand. Here is where I have my haxloader fix release.

Download the zip to the desktop and extract it.

Now open the folder. You will see a folder inside named "out". Open that folder.

Inside is a folder called "hax". This is the new haxloader. It WILL be a 3dsx file.

Next move the "3ds" folder, in the "hax" folder to the root of your SD. This will install ReiNand to the SD. Just merge the folder. If Windows asks to replace files just do it.

Then go out of the "hax" folder, and drag+drop the "Rei" folder and the "arm9loaderhax.bin" to the SD root.

Now, you will need the new Homebrew Launcher from Fincs. Google it. I'm not linking it. I'm on mobile ATM.

Download the boot.3dsx binary and put it on the root of your SD.

After that put the SD back inside your 3ds, boot it up, and open the ReiNand application.

I literally explained this 3 times. If I have to go over it once, fine. Twice, you are starting to piss me off. But three times, and calling me autistic is fucking insane. I will not be helping you again.

yes thanks i already got it working , my bad for not disclosing use of Ctr boot when i fisrt asked for help, so i already messed everything up beyond repair , it boots now at least but i lost CTR boot manager

and no i did not call you autistic i said to another used he should explain his autism
meaning you were being ambiguous ,also not singling you out i said this is a widespread issue not just in this scene but in most

all i am saying is that you should include a readme in your github
maybe a work to users who have ctr boot manager
i am just saying you went through all the hard work to make this why not take a few minuted to make clear tutorial in readme
so other can use it
you do all the hard stuff but them when it comes to something that should be easy like write a short readme tutorial
it is not done, not you specifically it happens all the time , people are always publishing with no explainaitions
all i am saying is that people need to stop doing that

I made the branch to close an issue on Rei's GitHub. I'm not going to make a modification to a readme just because people need to be spoon-fed the update instructions. People who are using menuhax better be educated enough to maintain their CFWs at this point. If not. Just fucking update to b9s and use Luma. I'm not dealing with that. I've got bigger fish to fry.

well most people using it are like me and do not remember that far back
just seems crazy to me to go through all the bother and how many hours of work just to not bother taking 5 minutes to explain it

This is a hacking scene. You should not be using outdated software. That's like using Windows XP because 'it works'. Take care of your system.

your posts just keep on getting more and more confusing can you please just explain it clearly for me
when you say
"the boot_hb.3dsx needs to become boot.3dsx" a what are you telling me? to rename the boot_hb.3dsx to boot.3dsx ?

"drag over the 3ds folder from the release" but i already have a 3ds folder on the root of my sd , i already copied the 2 files that were inside of the 3ds folder in the release into the 3ds folder on the root of my sd card , so is that all i needed to do for that step?

"Both the boot.3dsx and the boot_hb.3dsx are on the root of the SD for your 3ds." wait ,what?
i thought you just said or implied i needed to rename the boot_hb.3dsx to boot.3dsx ?
you are not making any sense at all

"ctrboot is pain int he ass to deal with" yea no shit i have had problem before i remember trying to update because of it

so is this really that hard to explain? which files go where and how do i edit the boot file for ctr boot manager
Please look at the mess you have go through to keep using menuhax and reconsider what you are doing. I am trying to help you by telling you that you need to upgrade. Rei6 will be B9S only, you won't see menuhax support with this update. Menuhax is no longer supported by GodMode9, Luma3DS, and soon to be Rei6.

yeah i know but i have other things going on i can not follow every single thing all the time
people do lose track and take breaks from these scenes sometime sit is not unheard of you know
especially when all the games i have wanted to play didn't really require FW updates for so long
i have been loosely following the more recent developments but not legacy stuff like this that is not being discussed that much anymore
besides i like to wait things out like i did with a9lh
which paid off int he end , because updating from stock to b9s is a lot easier than updating from a9lh system to b9s
sometimes it is better to not be on the cutting edge , i seen lots of posts about people having issues with a9lh to b9s
so i am glad i didn't jump on the a9lh hypetrain , now i am not saying i am not going to b9s because i think something else is coming i am just saying
i have not read into enought because i do not have tat much tome for this scene anymore and want to learn more about it before i switch

i know i am goign to switch over when i read more about it first and to be fair here menuhax is not really the problem
the thing that really caused all this confusion is that damn CTR bootmanager i never really understood it
i just installed it as part of a premade template reinand install i never set it up myself separately

Actually menuhax is half the problem here. The other half is your out of date/nonstandard setup, that you don't know how to maintain. You seem to act like everyone needs to back peddle to work with you instead of working with the community. Even to the point where you are expecting a very specific issue that only effects you to be added to the ReiNAND readme.
It's not that I am against nonstandard setups, my setup hasn't been standard for well over a year. But if you don't know how to maintain it, that is completely on you for lagging behind. You are the one who put yourself in this situation and you are the one who decided to stay in this situation. No one is required to help you when you created an oddly spefic situation that only causes you trouble.
Coupled with the fact that you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. "updating from stock to b9s is a lot easier than updating from a9lh system to b9s" that is a load of crap and you know it. Updating from AL9H only requires replacing the "arm9loaderhax.bin" and copying over a few files, it only takes a few minutes. Installing from stock requires several extra steps in order to be finished. Although neither method is that hard to do, the fact is updating from A9LH to B9S is a far easier than installing from stock. You are basically making up issues for really no reason whatsoever.
You are the only one having this issue and quite honestly it's your fault that no one can help you. You don't know what you are doing and you are choosing to stay out of date instead of letting people help you.

you are right i do not know that much about updating from a9lh to b9s i am just going by what i have seen here casually browsing i have seen more than few people complaining that they had problem going from a9lh to b9s but i did not read through the whole threads

i can't imagine that menuhax and ctr are that uncommon for people still using rei
and even without ctr the folders in the zip are confusing and how was i to know that arm9loaderhax.bin replaced reinand.dat?
there is no readme , you people make me laugh you think everyone is psychic or devotes their entire life to developing this stiff why not just curb the autism and post a damn explanation of your work no instead everyone likes to argue

Dude you are making this WAY more complicated than it needs to be..... FFS just update to B9S or I guess continue to confuse yourself trying to use this outdated, overly complicated hack that isn't going to do much for you in the long run but cause you more headaches. Sigh.

Most threads are people asking for help or asking other questions in regards to upgrading to B9S. Very few are actual troubleshooting threads and the few that are related to issues are often very simple problems related to user error.

Up until last night, I haven't seen another menuhax user in quite some time actually. I think it helps that basically every active dev has either dropped support for pre-B9S entrypoints or announced that they were dropping support. Although there were still very few menuhax users before that and most were just people who were away from the scene for too long.

Your issues in regards to lacking a readme seems more related to to your setup more than ReiNAND itself. Looking through the files, it's basically setup in a very easy to follow drag-n-drop format. You also failed to provide enough information to be properly helped. Like I said, your nonstandard setup is the issue here and there's no reason for Crimson to create a readme to deal with your specific setup. You seem to be the only one having an issue with this and there's honestly not many who can actually help you with your situation.

yeah i plan to but i want to make sure my card and emunand is working 1st
i mean if it is not and i update will it still work? will all my installed games and everyhting work if i follow the tutorial and the reinand emunand does not boot? can i still copy the rest of the shit on my card without copying the emunand partition because it is broke now?

Edit: After reading the rest of this guy's posts I'm retracting the advice that I originally offered for him here.
