Homebrew SigHax Updates and Discussion Thread

[nl255]

The 3ds.guide worked for N3DS, then tried Derek's on o3ds and got it to install, and then booting after that won't work. RIP O3DS

I wouldn't get rid of your o3ds just yet as most likely NTRbootromhax will be able to fix it.

Besides Luma 3ds future updates only being for this, Is there any benefits for just a casual user, or is all just for users that want to get into encrypt/decryt things for 3ds.

Not really, but it gives cfw to 11.4 users via hardmod and bricks from a year ago during downgrades can now be fixed via hardmod.

Go to https://3ds.guide/updating-to-boot9strap Its not called Sighax but i believe its the same thing.

Tried that, SafeB9SInstaller fails at the Backup Status part: "FIRM backup fail"

Same, except with my N3DS

RIP US. should've stuck with the guide.

I removed arm9loaderhax.bin as stated in the guide after installing sucesfully but when im trying to update luma via the upater it says cannot find arm9loaderhax.bin ? Is this normal?

I have EU O3DS, worked flawless.

LumaUpdater hasn't been updated for sighax yet. It came out like 2 hours ago

Really should have! I had twenty minutes before work, got it installed, then it wouldn't boot, so I just left it alone until I get my break

Just gonna add to the pile of successful upgrades from a9lh to boot9strap. Feels good man.

I'll see if I'm missing files later! It installed, and nothing else happened after reboot. Did you say keep a9lh, or remove it?

How many bricked systems will it take for people to learn? ALWAYS follow the guide.

Restore a nand backup and try again? If both say firm is corrupted while backing it up then it probably is corrupted

Just gotta say: N3DS USA 11.3 came from a9lh. Works flawlessly

Boot into godmode9 and restore ur nand backup

the problem is i don't have a nand backup , i boiught it like that like 4 years ago
i made hardmod nand backups , and updated it using the recovery menu many times (from 7.0 to 8.0 to 9.2 to 9.4..) but the problem presists
maybe something corrupted in the nand

I installed sighax successfully following sighax.com, but I'm just getting a black screen with my blue light?

Update your luma3ds to luma3ds 7.1 copy boot.firm to the root of your SDCard

Never enough. I just wanted to be different and use the cool setup dad.

From what I can tell unlike boot9strap, sighax actually fully installs target_firm.bin, rather than setting it to launch boot.firm from SD root every boot. Did you have target_firm.bin on your SD, and if so what was it? This is probably why you bricked, and thus is why we have a guide.
Sighax is already looking like a fail compared to b9s just because of ease of use.

Update your luma3ds to luma3ds 7.1 copy boot.firm to the root of your SDCard

Okay, I'll do that in a bit! I'll post something if it doesn't work out for me!

The backup doesnt need to be recent. You can install a backup without A9LH and keep A9LH. In Decrypt9 the settings is KEEP A9LH and in GodMode9 the setting is SAFE
