Hacking rxTools with Signatures patched out!

[PhoenixWrightX]

3DS model or 2DS? Firmware? I've went through the same experience as yours but I managed thanks to Versehell and I also read some tutorials on this site.

I can help you if you want.

Doesn't really matter since everyone would need to know if its 2D/3DS etc.
But im on a Old 3ds 4.5.

I just basically want to know how to set up from the very beginning.

Dual booting etc since I have a Gateway 3ds flash cart(s)

Can someone just make a noob friendly step by step from the very beginning in english not spanish tutorial on how to install this or any other cfw? Over 50 pages of text assuming that the user is coming from an existing CFW and knows what they're doing.

Otherwise, this thread is just a bunch of random statements and questions that have already been asked that ultimately lead to nowhere.

It's not so hard to understand how to setup this if you already installed some CFW, if not maybe it will might be a little hard.

I confess that I really respect the guys who post amazing stuff here but they forget that noobs are here too hehe, making a noob friendly tutorial will help a lot, killing many questions (not all but many). I would like to understand every step and here I couldn't so I had to find more informations in other forums like 3DSISO and Spanish Forums.

If someone wants to make a noob friendly tutorial, or know of one, I can attach it to the OP.

Edit : Outdated, follow this tutorial instead : https://gbatemp.net/goto/post?id=5540327#post-5540327 (It's easier and works on a 2DS too)


It depends of your firmware, first you have to install devmenu (or any other cia installer like FBI or BBM) with the pasta cfw. They're two version of it :
- The main one which recquires cubic ninja. It works on all firmwares from 4.1 to 9.2, but your last firmware digit (for example, 9 in 4.2.0-9E) must be 7 or more.
- The MSET only on 4.X consoles (so no 2DS unfortunately). It requires a ds flashcart if your last digit is under 7 tough.

To summarize :
I. If you have a 4.X console : then follow this tutorial to install devmenu : https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-pasta-cfw-without-cubic-ninja-mset-4-x-old3ds.389498/

Spoiler: Setting Up the MSET exploit for the Pasta MSET installation

1. If you have a ds flashcart : Just execute the gw_installer (you can find it on the gateway site) with it and follow the instructions
2. If you don't have one (your last firmware digit must be 7 or more to use this) :
- Download the code.bin and put in your sd card root
- Scan this qrcode :

- In the browser, wait until you see the bottom screen "flashes" then hard shutdown your console.

II. If you have an 5.1-9.2 O3DS classic or XL :

1. If you have cubic ninja :
- Then follow this : https://gbatemp.net/threads/pasta-c...d-on-old-and-new-3ds-required-ninjhax.388925/

2. If you don't have it :
- Backup your nand : get the last gateway launcher.dat from their site, put it on your sd card, open your browser, go to http://go.gateway-3ds.com/ then choose the backup nand option.
- Downgrade your console : https://gbatemp.net/threads/gateway-downgrading.378195/
- Then follow the part I.

III. If you have a 6.X-9.2 2DS :

1. If you have cubic ninja :
- Then follow this : https://gbatemp.net/threads/pasta-c...d-on-old-and-new-3ds-required-ninjhax.388925/

2. If you don't have it : Then you're SOL, they're no way at the moment to install a cia installer without CN or a gateway.

Once you have a cia installer installed, just follow the first part of this tutorial :
https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-...w-to-rxtools-sig-patched.390624/#post-5530804


(Note that if you have a gateway or a mt-card, you don't need to do all of this, just install a cia installer on your emunand then follow this http://www.rxtools.net/#!howto -replace the rxTools.dat with one the two versions in the OP-)

I don't see why someone would want to use this CFW over Gateway though. It practically does the same thing.

 

[dubbz82]

I don't see why someone would want to use this CFW over Gateway though. It practically does the same thing.

Quite simply, it doesn't require a gateway card. It's a pretty darn good alternative for those of us that don't care to sink a bunch of money into a gateway card.

SaveDataFiler and cia dlcs with retail cartdriges.

I don't see why someone would want to use this CFW over Gateway though. It practically does the same thing.

The one thing that this does that Gateway doesn't is the ability to use retail cartridges with signature checks disabled, meaning that SaveDataFiler can be used to export retail cartridge saves.

 

[insidexdeath]

SaveDataFiler and cia dlcs with retail cartdriges.

You can still use CIA DLCs on Gateway though.

The guy asking for a noob friendly tutorial already has his gateway set up.

Not with retail cartdriges.

You can still use CIA DLCs on Gateway though.

He means you can switch to rxTools then sell your gateway.

 

[PhoenixWrightX]

So i read that installing any other CFW will replace Gateway Launcher.dat or something that replaces Gateway exploit would occur.

Is installing rxtools going to replace my Gateway FW? I only have 1 SD card, but did read that I could use a program called multitools ( i think to allow dual booting)

In Short, does installing rxtools prevent me from using Gateway 3DS to launch roms using the multi-launcher?

Is it alright if I link this in the OP?

If you're on 4.X, you can use the blue flashcart to swith between gateway and rxTools with 1 sd card.

Yes, no problem.

RxTools will prevent you from using EmuNAND since you have to format EmuNAND from Gateway's Menu in order to update your EmuNAND from rx Mode.

Installing rxMSET will replace your Gateway's MSET exploit, so you should load rxMode through the browser instead if you intend on using it just on 4.X firmware.

 

[VerseHell]

RxTools will prevent you from using EmuNAND since you have to format EmuNAND from Gateway's Menu in order to update your EmuNAND from rx Mode.

What are you talking about? He doesn't have to format anything, he can directly use rxTools with his current emunand.

 

[powersaver]

Maybe I didn't read enough, however using rxTools from spider makes no sense on 4.x unless you need to use MSET a lot for something else.

As is written, this is a loaded question. The process can be done one of several ways, depending on what your current firmware is, but at a high level, one could get into gateway's launcher with a basically empty SD card, set up emuNAND, run pasta, run FBI, install either FBI/dev menu/big blue/red menu to the emunand, and copy over the files you need to get rxTools booting (there's more than one way for this to be booted as well)

I basically have a 3DS XL that's on 4.5 firmware that has Gateway with emunand (J-Console)
I also have, can't remember the firmware but a USA 3DS XL that can run Ninjax, so either method is fine (or both)

**Edit, the US Console is on 9.2.0-20U

Do you have BBM installed on your emunand?

Like I said :

Like I said :

thanks, saw that post i posted the post...do i select the SYSnand's firmware version?

 

[VerseHell]

What are you talking about? Everything must be done on the emunand. :/
