This guide includes information to get you from nearly any situation to full arm9loaderhax CFW.

If you appreciate this guide and the work I put into maintaining it, I accept donations through both Bitcoin and PayPal.

Launch arm9loaderhax you need to get into homebrew, maybe you can try the method from Part 1 step 1 - 8 https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-1-(New-3DS)

Edit: If you have 3ds or 3DS folder in the root path of your sdcard, you don't need step 1

No no i got it i got it, didnt realize the arm9loader i got from the website is different from the one that came with reinand, being that its a 3dsx rather than a bi.

The only other thing I need to know is if changing the boot config file is mentioned in the guide. Thanks guy

You're welcome. It is not mentioned. Maybe you can also just replace the ARN.bin file with one from Reinand in step 17 to 18, then you don't need to change boot config file.

Did you download this one https://github.com/d0k3/Decrypt9WIP/releases/download/20160305/Decrypt9WIP-20160305-151108.zip ?

Lik I said, nevermind I got it.

Final 2 questions then, step 15, im renaming the arm9loader file in the a9lh folder correct?

Last I need to do before loading up my 3ds now seems to be just editing the boot_config file you mentioned. What specifically do i change in the file for reinand?

Just the path below to match your arm9loaderhax.bin file

[DEFAULT]
path = /a9lh/ARN.bin
screenEnabled = 0
delay = 200
offset = 0
payload = -1

Ah. Well I just renamed the arm9 file to arn, so it looks like it works. Anything I should know in the long term in terms of whether i change the file name or change the config path, like any possible conflict between files later?

Well, just don't careless overwrite the file from different source. To me, I just throw the arm9loaderhax.bin file into /rei folder and set the path there. Filenames don't need to be unique as long as they are in different folder.

Shouldnt be a problem then, I made a back up of my sd card.

So two more questions yet again, afterwords I should be done.

I managed to finish the installation which is great, but I cant seem to access my sysnand. I hold L before I even turn on the 3ds but i keep being kicked to emunand. Is there something I need to have done to make that work?

And finally, apparently I need my sd card to be able to use my 3ds anymore. Assuming anything happens to my sd card, since it IS a small little stick, what do I do from there?

Edit:.....okay i think i screwed myself hard. It looks like I was following the guide for the old 3ds for step 5 instead of the new one.

So uh...looks like im screwed at this point. I can still use emunand but cant boot into sysnand

Good question, I also can't boot into sysnand... I guess that function is specific for aureinand, from original post http://gbatemp.net/threads/aureinand-n3ds-o3ds-a9lh.411110/ , before booting into sysnand is by menuhax. I also don't know how to boot to sysnand if using Reinand. Maybe you can also check the link before for some ideas.

For the last question, maybe you can use some tools to backup your sdcard, or have another one as archive. Also there are tutorials teaching you to swap sysnand with emunand http://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-swap-sysnand-and-emunand-arm9loaderhax-only.415724/ and http://gbatemp.net/threads/the-easy-way-to-swap-your-sysnand-and-emunand-a9lh-only.417072/ , and then you even don't need emunand in your sdcard. But it may be risky to update system later.

Oh, so thats where he is. I was wondering why he didnt have a guide in the tutorial, apparently its always been in the 3ds flashcrads and cfw area

Edit: Annnnd I have my answer. Press and hold start while booting. Also make sure to change your trigger button for menuhax to type 1, since after pressing start itll boot into menuhax otherwise.

And im done. Took me a week to get this all done.

Just wondering, which sysUpdater kind is in the tutorial?
The original, safesysupdater or julian'ns build?

 

[Intronaut]

I sucessfully downgraded my old 3ds xl and new 3ds xl and installed a9lh on both. Thanks for all

 

[tranxuanthang]

In this part (part 4 for o3ds)
https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-4-(Old-3DS)
Section II - 14:

14. EmuNAND will be bricked by the downgrade and you will no longer be able to get into it (a black screen when you try to load EmuNAND is normal)

Then we will restore that bricked emunand.bin to our sysnand (15-16-17). Will our 2.1 sysnand work after we do that?

 

[Igu]

I have a working setting (reiNand 10.6, sysnand 9.2 + menuhax), with this tutorial i will lose my data of my emunand? (games, nnid, config)

Julian's is the original. The guide links to TuxSH's.

from what I know it's more recommended to use julian's build with libkhax, am I right?
And what is the different between TuxSH to julian? .-.
