Once my headache goes and my eye stops hurting imma install A9LH!
Yes, that NANDmin.bin is the backup of you sysnand. It is used for restoring at the last part of part 3 if you don't have an emunand.
Hourglass9 always restores backups without touching FIRM0/1, which is where a9lh is stored.Mindless question then as I seem to not get it. If we restore the NANDmin.bin which is the original sysnand, then wouldn't that waste all the other steps of installing A9LH? My logic might be wrong but can't see how A9LH stays on if we restore a backup that doesn't have it.
Not quite. The hourglass9 has an option for that.Mindless question then as I seem to not get it.

In fact, now the only option when you restore sysnand or emunand is with "keep a9lh" option, so the a9lh will be intact without any chances of a9lh being deleted.
Thanks. Both you and the poster above gave me a better understanding. I would of jumped in head first seeing how easy it is now but I always like to see the logic of the steps before doing something. And that missing part of not touching the firm partition where A9LH is installed makes sense now.
Section VI - Finalizing setup
- Update your CFW SysNAND to the latest version using system settings (if it is not already)
- Open Health and Safety (which is now FBI)
I've you've already installed a9lh and you are running luma, then updating will not remove your hacksSo I got my new3DS today and i jumped into this guide with no prior knowledge (probably not the best idea). It's pretty scary with all the brick warning, but easy to follow nonetheless.
however I've gotten to this point in the guide:
Is this suggesting I update my console to the latest version? Will that not remove the ability to run homebrew and backups?
I'd remove most of your existing setup (keep the emunand, you can transfer it to sysnand at the end) just to make life simpler.if I'm currently using ctrbootmanager, should i remove that before attempting this guide?

If you haven't done this yet, DO IT NOW! Great job
Ha, I have another n3DS (the new Super Mario 3D Land) bundle that needs to go through the process and then a 2DS that also needs to run through it.
Browsing through the new guide - No more formatting the emunand until your head spins!
So the new 3ds that are out now with the Mario dash plate arrive in version 10 and not 11?
Yup. Mine was on 10.7.0.32 U and I ended up downgrading with PlaiSysUpdater to 9.2.
Was surprising, but I think Nintendo had them in production for a while.
I will grab me two of those and get rid of some of my current 3ds. I always wanted that size. the xl gets too uncomfortable for me. here's hoping I get one of those when it releases in stores in a few days on my end.
