Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

Unfortunately, if your sysNAND is on 11.0 and you don't have A9lh installed, your only option is to get a hardmod. On 11.0, OoTHax and Ninjhax can't downgrade as even if they had ARM11 access, there's a hardcoded minimum title version list that prevents the installation of old titles.

Well that blows.

Thanks for the info, I guess I'll just wait for an exploit if one ever comes. Kinda ticks me off. I'm can't figure out how my sysnand got updated.

Hi guys... so are R4 flashcarts compatible with the latest firmware for 3DS (11.0.0.33)? I don't own a 3DS yet but I am planning to buy a New 3DS in the near future and wanted to get an R4 flashcart but obviously I don't want to buy one if it will not even work with the latest firmware.

Hey all. I know things are crazy around here in the post-11.0 update world. I've been sitting here contently with Oot3dhax on 10.7.32-U and ignoring all the 3DS messages to update my console. However, now when I try to play a game online I get Error Code 002-0119 saying in part: "In order to use this service, a system update is required."

Besides downgrading to 9.2, are there any other things I can do to bypass this and be able to play online?

I'm on 11 luma3DS emunand + 9.2 Sysnand on a N3DS XL
I can update some games, not others, and cannot access the eShop. I don't know about playing online.
Any fix?
Thank you in advance.

downgrading is a permanent solution to it, but if you really don't want to do that: https://github.com/yellows8/ctr-httpwn

this can't be used with smash/MH4U/extended RAM games on Old3DS.

I'll probably get around to downgrading at some point. I recently learned of PlaiSysUpdater and the overwhelming majority of people using it reported clean and easy success with it. Also yeah, I did forget to mention I'm on N3DS as well.

So I am almost done guys/gals! However, I kinda figured I was going to get an error somewhere before completing the tutorial.
Section I: #20. Copy the 11.0.0 Homebrew Launcher Payload to the root of your SD card
is a bit confusing to me bc I couldn't find an 11.0.0 Homebrew launcher payload for the root of my SD card.

What file do I need to put in order to avoid the error that I am getting after Section VI. #12. When i try to launch the Hombrew Launcher from the main menu, I get an error towards the end.

The section where it says "What you need"
"The 11.0.0 Homebrew Launcher Payload for your region:"
Choose the file that is your 3ds and put that file into the root of your sd card.

It only shows up for the game the flashcart boots as. example: dstwo = alex rider.

okay that's bad, thank you

How would I make a music loop in a custom theme? Like, what tool would I use?

Most people just throw there bgm into an audio editor like Audacity and then make it loop from there, they then import it into their theme using YATA+ or Usagi Theme Editor. (I think that's how they do it, I ain't no custom theme expert)

My NANDS are linked.
1. Can i access the Eshop from the Emunand without any problem?
2. Can i safe upgrade my 3DS via SD without screwing anything?
(o3ds RxTools+Cboot+Themehax version 10.7 emu 9.20 sys)

I should be done with the N3DS today. [emoji1][emoji1303]

Hey guys, having some trouble figuring out SVDT. I am so far able to back up the saves of my retail carts, but not yet have I found a simple explanation of how to IMPORT them into the .cia installed game backups. The games in question are Pokemon: Alpha Sapphire, and Ocarina of Time. (I hope I am not breaking rules mentioning the titles, as I DO own these games physically).

I am able to copy the save data from the cart, in FBI under SD:/svdt/TITLE/main and then I try to paste it in Titles/TITLE/browse save data but I get a "Failed to paste contents"-type error... puzzled.

OH NO!! HELP!! I am on Part 4, Section II of the arm9lhax tutorial on my friend's OLD3DS, and I just finished the part where you downgrade redNAND to 2.1. I left it to go, as is was looking fine and well on it's way but when I checked on it, it had the nintendo home screen "an error has occurred, Hold the power button to power off." I feel like it is possible that I forgot to boot into redNAND using Luma3DS, and accidentally downgraded sysNAND using PliaSysUpdater... Now I am getting a BLACK SCREEN at boot!! I tried with and without SD, and tried booting into MenuHax with the dpad down during boot. All resulting in Black Screen... Have I bricked my friend's device?? Any help much appreciated, you guys have been soo helpful with modding my NEW3DS, it is so much appreciated. Now I moved on to my friend's OLD3DS and I really hope I didn't brick it!
Thanks guys.

EDIT: I can't even get into Recovery Mode... I take it I have bricked sysNAND, and the only way to restore sysNAND from a backup (I DO have both the 10.7 and the 9.2 sysNAND backups saved) is with a HARDMOD correct? Or is there some way I can flash sysNAND without a hardmod? I don't think so.. At this point everything is met with a black screen... Pretty sure I have bricked my first console...

Sounds like a brick to me. Even if you could get into recovery mode, you would only be able to update to 11.0, which requires a hardmod to downgrade. Unfortunately, your only option is to get a hardmod if you want to recover from the brick.
