Hacking [Release] rxTools - Roxas75 3DS Toolkit [fw 2.0 - 9.2]

[WhoAmI?]

Yay! Thanks to @nastys we were able to compile devkitPro for the Raspberry Pi rxTools builds on it:

Could devkitPro be compiled for android too? I wanna use an old tablet as a compiler.

Can someone just point me in the right direction to download rxtools 3.0 beta 8? That is apparently the most stable but I can't seem to find it anywhere, all I find are nightlys and they're all labeled

Rxtools (some date) unstable

Thanks

Yes, I did it on a tablet.

EDIT: some people are way too paranoid about these instructions, especially some DKP devs who think they're "bogus" and ignore and delete any comments about it. If you're one of them, either use a VM, extract the archive to your home folder or build it yourself.

ARMv7
Install Ubuntu Vivid ARMHF in a 3772 MB image by using Linux Deploy, then run it and connect to it via VNC.
Download these files: https://mega.nz/#F!BxBzEQwJ!CaC_WHOZx5lJNe7gFA8ThQ
Extract devkitpro.tar.bz2 and extralibs.tar.bz2 in / as root (pun intended)
It should look like this:
/

opt

devkitpro

devkitARM​

Some dependencies are missing from the package. You can find them in dependencies.tar.bz2. Open each directory (don't worry, they're a few) and run sudo make install to install them or copy the needed binaries to /opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/bin.
When done, run the following commands in LXTerm:

echo "export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export DEVKITARM=/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
sudo apt-get install build-essential  imagemagick git
cd
git clone --recursive https://github.com/roxas75/rxTools.git
cd rxTools
make release

If any dependencies are missing, install them by using sudo apt-get install.

ARMv6 (e.g. Raspberry Pi)/any CPU

1. sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake bison flex libncurses5-dev gcc libgmp-dev libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev libfreeimage3 libfreeimage-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev libusb-dev mesa-common-dev texinfo imagemagick git
2. git clone https://github.com/devkitPro/buildscripts
3. Edit build-devkit.sh to skip the first if (change if [ 1 -eq 1 ] to if [ 0 -eq 1 ])
4. sudo ./build-devkit.sh
5. First option, install to /opt/devkitpro
6. It will take several hours before it stops, throwing an error...
7. cd .devkitARM
8. cd 3dstools-1.0.3
9. sudo ./configure
10. sudo make install
11. cd general-tools-1.0.0
12. sudo ./configure
13. sudo make install
14. cd grit-0.8.12
15. sudo ./configure
16. sudo make install
17. cd ndstool-1.50.3
18. sudo ./configure
19. sudo make install
20. Extract extralibs.tar.bz2 to / as root (pun intended) and replace any files
21. echo "export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro" >> ~/.bashrc
    echo "export DEVKITARM=/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM" >> ~/.bashrc
    echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
    source ~/.bashrc
22. cd
23. git clone --recursive https://github.com/roxas75/rxTools.git
24. cd rxTools
25. make release (if it fails because a dependency is missing, install it, enter make clean and try again)
26. If it works, backup your devkitpro folder... If it doesn't, log out and try to build rxTools again.

And if it's some weird non-arm one?

If it's x86, just install your favourite operating system in a virtual machine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/zf2-running-windows-7-using-kvm-t3153299
Or just follow the instructions for ARMv6 CPUs, which is actually for any CPU

Ok. And does it have to be rooted? I can't root this one. No custom recoveries or bootloader unlocks exist for it

Then try Debian noroot

The same error that I had, again: "Failed to load NATIVE_FIRM: 4"

 

[Nightblade]

Just copy the Nintendo 3DS folder from the old one.

Thank you very much! One more question, i heard 10.0.0 is out now. Is it supported for Emunand? I just installed Rxtools and should i update my emunand to 10.0.0? The tutorial still mentions 9.9 only.

updating to the latest emunand is fine.

 

[ShadowOne333]

Just wanted to ask what Beta is the latest one?
and how stable is it?

I am seriously thinking about switching my 16 GB SD that I use for GW to make it the main SD of the N3DS and install all of my games as CIAs.
That combined with Ironhax will make my N3DS quite a handy device in all points of view.

If you use n3ds and latest nightly, try to rename 0004013820000002.bin to 0004013820000002orig.bin

If you use n3ds and latest nightly, try to rename 0004013820000002.bin to 0004013820000002orig.bin

IT WORKS!! Thanks you

If anyone wants my devkitPro folder for a Raspberry Pi, I can supply it if anyone's interested. I had to do some weird copy and paste stuff, to get it all working (such as the rule files). Again, thank you nastys!

I'll add it to the READMEs

You're welcome

Thanks to @Witalka_Shelby my N3DS is now hard-modded.
But my computer can't read it...

So my N3DS is unbricked only until I brick it again.
If it happens, I'll have to buy a compatible adaptater...

 

[RaMon90]

Installation data suit always appears after booting rxtools. I guess this isn't normal, does it mean i have a bad firmware.bin? It's around 900kb afaik, also i didnt download with phyton 2.7 but on that cakes thread i downloaded from nint server and renamed the file isnt that ok? Do i need to download with python?

Lastly, how can i install phyton on windows? There are 4 files but i have no idea about running it.
