Today I went to one of the bigger electronic retailers around my area.
Over here they usually have preview/testing consoles for all kinds of stuff.
So I had my eyes on 3 Consoles.
A new 3DS, a new 3DS XL and an old 3DS XL.
The newer models started with a 9.7 Firmware where the old 3DS still had a 8.7 Firmware.
Prepared with a mobile ready to set up a wi-fi hotspot and a preformatted SD Card (4GB) for redNAND the session started off.
I set up the boot.3dsx, sysupdater and the basic things beforehand as well on the SD.
So I started up easily bypassing the "parental controls" setup by the retailer and formatting the device.
Then I swapped the SD cards (default 4GB for the set up 4GB) and connected to my mobile hotspot to enter homebrew.
First thing on the list was updating to 9.2 which went flawless.
Followed up by going back into homewbrew to launch Decrypt9 and flashing sysNAND into the set up emuNAND partition.
I formatted sysNAND a second time, started up homebrew and installed menuhax to get an autoboot into emuNAND.
Basically everything was done now, except setting up a custom theme just for the fun on the emuNAND and setting up parental controls again.
Of course 1337 was the perfect code to use and the theme had to be a custom Pokémon theme.
All in all it took about 20minutes to get everything done.
I skipped updating the emuNAND due to not having a proper internet connection.
If I had a computer on me and didn't want to be fast doing it I would have went with A9LH obviously. (Well another reason for not installing A9LH is to be able to remove it by just swapping the SD Card back)
For the same reason (and obviously not having easy access to the mSD) the new 3DS consoles had to be spared. They just got a simple format.
