Hacking (4.x only) CIA CFW Complete Guide

[piratesephiroth]

With this method, I can boot into the CFW, however, after ~10 seconds, whenever I scroll over icons in the home screen, banners fail to load and doing anything besides scrolling causes a freeze, and of course, It fails to connect. I know my IP is correct as whenever I run run.bat, the WiFi light on the 3DS blinks.

I get that 'failed to connect' with any method, haha
Any method will end up with the same results by the way: NAND image on sector 1 of the SD card.
Mine is simply the easiest.

BTW, yeah my 3DS's wifi light blinks everytime I run the command too.

Yup, I can't get passed the "Failed to connect" either. I gave up on it yesterday.

I can't connect either. What firmware are you guys on? I'm on 4.1 and am curious if that's the issue
Edit: the light blinks on an interval for me, unrelated to connecting nvm now it blinks when I run the command

 

[piratesephiroth]

I'm on 4.5

 

[Huntereb]

4.5 here as well. I was on 4.3 and had the same issue, so I updated to 4.5. No dice.

 

[piratesephiroth]

I noticed something...the 3DS light blinks and I get 'failed to connect' when I don't hold 'L' during rednand boot.
So I wonder if it's the server code that's not being injected properly in our attempts...

 

[PieFace]

I would say maybe windows firewall is blocking the connection, but that doesn't explain the light blinking.
It must be a problem on the 3ds then
Edit:

I turned Windows Firewall off, and configured many other connection settings on my computer. Didn't help.

Try turning off your 3ds wifi while you are on CFW 2-3 times until your computer recognize your 3ds. That worked for me

 

[PieFace]

Way to brag lol

Try turning off your 3ds wifi while you are on CFW 2-3 times until your computer recognize your 3ds

Because of the wierd server mode the wifi won't turn back on

 

[piratesephiroth]

Maybe it's some specific wifi setting? Even after I deleted the other 2 wifi connections it still won't work.

I finally got it working . Dual boot with gateway emunand and devmenu cfw

that will crash the 3DS...

Glad you got it working!

Once I've confirmed I can get it working for multiple games, I'll happily share a how-to.

 

[Brandon1990]

that will crash the 3DS...

Yeah unless you do it fast after booting in cfw

 

[PieFace]

Yeah unless you do it fast after booting in cfw

How fast are we talking here? It either crashes or banners stop loading

 

[piratesephiroth]

Yeah unless you do it fast after booting in cfw

you must be some kind of ninja because it always crashes here

 

[Huntereb]

Just did the turning off Wi-Fi thing. Nothing new...
