Homebrew How to use HBL on 11.3 (A9LH+Luma)

[Sonic Angel Knight]

It takes me roughly 3-4 retries to boot lol
Though when you're a homebrew dev, that's nothing, normal users I recommend honestly to just wait.

Is worst when you actually boot the HBL, you get happy and excited, then you choose the homebrew to load and then it doesn't. Now is like playing with you.

If only homebrew loading was more stable like other systems, even wii homebrew channel or WII U Haxchi.

I have the worst luck on my wii-u lol

I assume by that statement you aren't using haxchi. So if you are using web browser exploit, is just random. Haxchi is 100% accurate in loading homebrew. While i appreciate web exploits a bit more since is unique than a simple common "Save data injection" But to be fair none of these methods of Loading homebrew have been consistenly updated to be as accurate as possible. Unlike the WII homebrew channel or something else.

I only hacked my o3ds xl like a couple of days ago, it's currently on 11.2 and I'm in two minds of giving this a try. Now I read people saying update luma and ensure you have a nand backup, by the nand backup do they mean the one you made during the ctrtransfer stage of the hacking process(I followed the 3ds.guide, tho also did watch a YouTube guide which followed through the webguide just to see where the backup process was)? Or should I make another backup in hourglass before hitting the system update?

I also have a 2ds(11.0) and n3ds xl(11.2) which I'm trying to decide if I should also hack, was planning on keeping the n3ds unhacked but in two minds. On the n3ds I have like 10-12 digital retail & eshop only games and a few gameboy VC which I don't want to loose, well my nnid plus eshop access to be able to redownload them legitimately not through the freeshop.

I seem to recall reading that hacking the n3ds/xl breaks the DS/DSi functionality, is that true?

It's a good idea to make another NAND backup before updating to 11.3, but be sure to keep your original NAND backup from when you installed A9LH.

This is entirely false.

Thanks for the reply, I do have the original backup "backed up" also.
So is the process, update to latest hourly luma, backup nand then update to 11.3? Or does it not mater which way around you do the the back and update of luma?

It does not matter.

It does not matter.

Ok thanks again, will do that later then?

Works for me, 11.3U N3DS, latest Luma nightly, and latest HBLauncher.

*hax 2.9 alpha payloads for old and new 3DS firmware version 11.3 are now available, get them at https://t.co/oWkM5VjftQ

Also,

people getting hit with error d8e17406 should use soundhax until the HBL CIA is updated

The version itself is stable, also using the cia updater it ALWAYS makes a backup of the original file it's overwriting.
This is literally just for people who want to boot HBL..

Nightly is exactly that, nightly. It could contain untested new features that may be buggy.
When I said I didn't need to update Luma and everything worked still, HBL was included.
People should be able to use the latest stable release of luma with 11.3 and HBL just fine. If they can't they did something wrong.

That's odd considering when I went back to normal v6.6 to test as someone else said the same thing (turns out they were on a dev build), I couldn't boot HBL.. with the latest hbl cia, and 11.2 payload.. I tried with SVC patching on, still couldn't, are you certain you're on normal 6.6 and using 11.2 payload on 11.3?

But for the newbies what do you do?nwhat do you d/l from the GitHub and what do you replace if you followed the 3ds.guide?

New loader is released for people like me with d8e17406 error

Yep 6.6 no issues. Maybe it's using Luma Updater that is causing the issue for you.
The Luma I have on my system was manually copied from the releases git hub page.
I tried Luma Updater once and it caused issues, I kinda don't like it and think it causes problems/does something wrong.

 

[Jayro]

You have to also update HBlauncher to v1.3

 

[chr0m]

Worked on my O3DS but can't get it working on my N3DS XL. I got the latest launcher and renamed the 11.2 payload with no luck, then manually downloaded the new payload, but it still just exits with "An error has occurred, etc, etc"
Both devices running the latest Luma hourly

Edit: Weird. I copied latest luma arm9loaderhax.bin from github to my Micro SD, still didn't work. Then I used Luma updater to update to latest again and it started working

 

[fowler002]

All well and good for the experienced people discussing/bickering, anyone going to "translate" for those that are new? I.e what to do with the new release

I'm still getting error 00001000 01fcf0000 d8e17406 when I try to use Homebrew.
