My CFW Story begins from when I got my 3DS, in around July 2014. I was very happy getting it, knew no hacks and stuff. I had bought it for playing the Pokemon Main Games, and I wanted Pokemon Alpha Sapphire that time.
I kept crying about not having it in December 2014. I used to waste my time with Super Mario 3D Land, and still don't know 3DS hacking was possible.
January 2015. The month which changed my life. I asked for Alpha Sapphire on my B'Day (22 Jan) and got it onn 26th Jan 2015 (Republic Day in India). Used to play it day-night, and really loved it. My 3DS was still a virgin in this month.
Come February, Spider3DSTools were introduced to me by someone on Pokemon Showdown!. Really loved backing my save up, Cloning with QR codes, etc. I didn't really know what I had missed, I didn't know that staying on 9.2 was a good thing.
Then in March, Spider3DSTools was patched with update 9.5. I didn't update for some time obviously; But Seeing the number of PKHeXed Pokemon around Nintendo decided to block Internet Services of users by Introducing Update 1.4 for Alpha Sapphire ('Stability Update'). So the one who didn't have updated Pokemon X/Y/OR/AS, couldn't access the Internet, and to update X/Y/OR/AS, one had to update the system to access eShop. I also saw a new game coming (Rumble World) so I unwillingly update my 3DS, hence losing access to QRCloning and PKHeX.
One of my teachers Stole my 3DS for her Child in April, And I didn't get it back until June.
July and August sucked. No hacks, no cheats, just playing Pokemon and Examinations.
And then came the month when I took my first step into Homebrew. In September, I came to know of Tubehax from a guy who got banned from WiFi room for lying about the method of cloning he used. I messaged him, and he told me that something called homebrew can make PKHeX alive again. I got goddamn excited, because RAM2SAV + PKHeX was the best method of cloning I knew. I got the link to smealum's homebrew website from him. Installed tubehax, and then menuhax. Enjoyed the experience. I was at 10.1 that time.
In October I guess, Nintendo patched Tubehax, released 10.2 which patched Menuhax and Browserhax. Didn't update at all, was enjoying PKheXing and stuff.
In November, I fucked up trying to update *hax 2.1 to *hax2.5. Homebrew failed to start, so sadly I updated to 10.3 to enjoy latest services
Hahaha December 2015. Hype about memchunkhax2, Downgrading, Legit CIA installation, etc. Knew spider28hax became my primary entrypoint back into Homebrew, installed shufflehax, ironhax, etc. I didn't know why people were downgrading at that time.
In January 2016, Nintendo released 2 system updates in a row: 10.4 Patched Ironhax, and 10.5 disallowed any1 to use online services who were below 10.4. Decided to downgrade (My best step in 3DS Life). Even when I was scared about bricking, I went forward and downgraded it successfully. Happiest moment of my life. Installed rxTools and stuff.
In Febraury, I heard about a new arm9 kernel exploit called arm9loaderhax. People were required to have a hardmod to achieve this, and I didn't have one installed. Also, no Old 3DS CFW supported a9lh. So I kept being a menuhax peasant and not giving a shit about the new exploit.
Haha March. Hype bout the new exploit grew. Heard that it was goddamn fast. The first Old 3DS CFW for Arm9loaderhax was introduced: AuReiNand. The words in Plailect's OTP Guide changed too, from 'Hardmod Required' to 'Hardmod Recommended' My exams were in progress, so I decided to take all the risks that could brick my 3DS. If it bricked, I could concentrate on studies, and if it didn't, PROFIT! I followed Plailect's Guide, and Successfully installed a9lh on my 3DS. Poof! My 3DS was now the best 3DS in my City! AuReiNand was awesome, and the speed. Yeah. Loved it.
April. This month. I'm enjoying my arm9loaderhaxed 3DS with all those CIAs and stuff. I love Luma3DS.
MORAL OF THIS STORY: Menuhax peasants, I followed the Old Plailect guide and did not brick my console. I don't understand why you will, because the guide is now updated and brick chances are reduced drastically.
