The problem here is that you need something to update the browser WITH. It's a circular issue, you need the updated browser to install the exploit that allows you to install the updated browser.Find the thread for the 3DS NUS, they talk about updating the browser.
Yes
I have a few DS flashcarts, so I installed the gateway DS Profile exploit with GW_installer.nds from the 3.2.2 package. How would I actually go about updating the firmware from "-4" to "-7"?
Quoting you to make sure this pings you: I just realized, there may be a way to get the browser exploit working even on an older browser. Go to http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ in your 3DS browser - what does it say? Either in the box, or the red useragent in the list. We're looking for the "Version/1.7###.US" bit. Hopefully 1.7455 or 1.7498?That's all I needed to confirm. I'll do the rest in reading up more. I still am undecided on whether to just buy a Gateway which will require me to get a 4.x cartridge plus the Gateway flashcart itself or just get a 4.x cartridge to update & install CFW to do everything. I want the ability to play Roms & homebrew for sure. I'm worse that a woman in making decisions! LOL!
There's a pretty easy process to follow, now.
1. Grab the Spider ROP-Loader exploit from here: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=47753777289998764895 (link courtesy of peekatyou)
2. Place the code.bin file from that on the root of your SD card.
3. Use a Spider code exploit that loads code.bin. http://dukesrg.no-ip.org/3ds/rop/?LoadCode4.dat&code.bin should work. Wait for the browser to crash. (If you get the black screen instead of the dialog, or it otherwise doesn't work, try clearing your browser's history and cookies and trying again.) You now have a Gateway-exploited Nintendo DS Profile.
4. BACK. UP. YOUR. NAND. (You'll hopefully never need it, but in case you do, you're up a creek without it.) Use the Launcher.dat from Gateway's latest pack here: http://www.gateway-3ds.com/downloads/ It's in the "GW_Ultra_3.2.2(Public Beta)" folder. It needs to go on the root of your SD card.
[Optional] For the next few steps, anywhere they tell you to install BigBlueBox/DevMenu, I recommend FBI instead; it can do all the same things, plus shows more info and can install CIAs over a network, which you can't otherwise do from the Pasta CFW. Without the ability to net-install, your SD card needs to have double the free space for every CIA you want to install! Link to FBI: https://github.com/Steveice10/FBI/releases/
5a. If you want to use Pasta CFW (starts nearly 100% of the time with no hassle, can install unsigned CIAs) then follow this guide: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-pasta-cfw-without-cubic-ninja-mset-4-x-old3ds.389498/ (NOTE: When you get to the "copy the Palantine files" step, delete the Launcher.dat and rename Launcher_GW.dat to Launcher.dat. If you don't do this, it won't work. I didn't know this and it would've saved me hours of fiddling and re-doing.)
5b. If you want to use emuNAND (again, not really necessary, but safer, however it eats a GB) then follow the second half of https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-4-5-sysnand-4-5-cfw-9-4-emunand-without-gateway.378721/ (you don't have to do the first half if you don't need a 9.x emuNAND; you're only gonna need a 9.x emuNAND if you have legit cartridges that you want to play that need newer FW)
6. If you want to run .3dsx files (Ninjhax homebrew) you're going to need Cubic Ninja, no way around that for now. However, a CIA-installed copy of it will work. Ninjhax guide: http://smealum.net/ninjhax/
And that's just about all you need to know! And about all you can do without a flash-cart.
EDIT: Oh, important thing to know. That ROP loader exploit installs the Gateway version of the DS Profile exploit, which means your Launcher.dat's need to be encrypted. That means any time you have a Launcher.dat and a Launcher_GW.dat, you need to be using the Launcher_GW.dat (renamed to just Launcher.dat).
Any guide on how to install FBI? I am already up to step 4 with spider code running?
okay got it, thanks!The easiest way is to use cubic ninja, install the cubic ninja fbi version and then use it to install the fbi cia, all after running Pasta or PBT of course.
okay got it, thanks!
with the exploit already installed, any reason to install cubic ninja cia?After this if you can get a cubic ninja .cia then I'd recommend installing that to your system nand as well.

Missed this reply of yours. When I go to the useragent page I don't see any numbers. On the bottom 3DS screen I see the writing What's My User Agent but not any numbers. There's a box beside the writing but I don't see any numbers. Where should this be & should I see numbers regardless of where it's at?
I don't think my browser is working hardly at all. Check that, I'm able to visit webpages so I guess it is working right. It's just not showing up any numbers to check for from the useragent page. What now bud? Thanks again!
BTW, while trying to load the page(useragent) I got 2 error messages. One was "failed to load part of the page". Isn't this the error you get when trying to load the profile exploit? Also got terminated script execution error as well. What are those about?
Takes a couple minutes to even the load the page after these error messages. Something isn't working right from my browser. Is it because of being on 4.5 FW or what? Thanks!
Well, "failed to load part of the page" isn't necessarily the exploit, it just means something's doing something the browser doesn't support. Weird. Uh... Here, try this - with the launcher.dat on your SD card, point the 3DS browser to http://dukesrg.no-ip.org/3ds/go/ . That page is designed to detect the firmware of your 3DS and use the appropriate exploit if there is one. If it doesn't work, try clearing cookies and history and trying again, but if it's still not getting you anywhere, I don't know. You're on 4.5 FW at this point, though, right?
You need at least, 4.xx for GW. I can't explain much on GW's though, I have never owned one myself. Gateway's work up to 9.2.
If you're on a firmware less than 4.x, you have to update to 4.x. You *cannot* use 9.2, because the 9.2 hack depends on the browser, and you'd have to update to 9.2 using a cart, and cart updates don't include the browser. Even Ninjhax depends on the browser as well as on Cubic Ninja.
Get a cart with 4.x, update to 4.x from it, and use the profile exploit (mset), either with Gateway, Pasta, or signature patched RXtools.
Once you have a hacked system you can then use hacks to install a proper browser, but that means that you have to use a hack that doesn't need the browser in the first place, and the only such hack is mset on 4.x.
with the exploit already installed, any reason to install cubic ninja cia?
What I'm wondering is if @tonybologna can use the custom ROP launcher I linked ( http://dukesrg.no-ip.org/3ds/go/ ) to get the Gateway launcher up, then use that to install mset (which is what the "NVRAM" option does, as far as I know?) and emuNAND (maybe save that for later), then I can guide him through getting PBT or Palantine running to install FBI, then possibly updating that browser through 3DNUS, and finally getting the new patched rxTools on it to boot emuNAND.
Dear god things have gotten complicated in the last month or so, hahah

Well, I tried your instructions again with no success again. I cleared cookies & history as well. I get my ISP(Charter) page(page not found) message when trying to go to the ROP launcher page from above.
I don't know what's going on here but it would be really nice to get my browser updated. Thanks! BTW, when you said to have the launcher.dat file on SD Card this is the one from Pasta CFW right?
Do I need to have any other files on the SD Card besides the launcher.dat file? I've also not tried the GW Installer yet from SD flashcart either to get the mset profile installed. I just now got the R4i Gold 3DS ready to go.
Keep trying, it seems like the site is having stability issues right now. (On and off... maybe it's being DOS'd?) And for right now, no, use the Gateway launcher.dat from the 3.2.2 package: http://www.gateway-3ds.com/downloads/ It's in the "GW_Ultra_3.2.2(Public Beta)" folder in that.
Also, back up everything on your SD card, because it's gonna get wiped. If you can get that running, then hit "INSTALL NVRAM" and wait for that to finish (should work - I've never needed it). Then hit "FORMAT EMUNAND". That'll wipe your SD card and create the emuNAND, which resides in 1 GB of unpartitioned space at the beginning of the card. If you get all that working, let me know. If http://dukesrg.no-ip.org/3ds/go/ still won't work, even after you clear history/cookies and try a few times (and get it to load) I'm not sure what to suggest; I think that SHOULD work though. In a desktop browser when you try to load the page you should just see a dot.
I placed the launcher.dat from the GW download onto the SD Card. That's all I have on the SD Card. Do I then go to browser & then ROP launcher page you provided from there? Is this what you're talking about to create my emuNAND on SD Card or is this something different all together than the ROP page?
I can't seem to get anything running/working from my browser. I know it's at least partially functional because I can go to the Nintendo pages & Google for sure.
