Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[lemanuel]

Hello Guys! Im following this forum for a very long time. Now i have signed up with a question. I am very confused and cant find a perfect and clear solution.

I have a New3DS with Firmware 9.0 and Cubic Ninja.
I want to install a CFW, maybe RXTools 2.6 to run CIA Files and maybe some Emulators (GBA, SNes)

What do i have to do?
I also want to access the Firmware by coldboot or with Theme Settings.

Can anybody give me a step by step solution, or a link for a good tutorial to get started for noobs?

please, and thank you very much in advance.

Hi guys.
Well, just to start off, I'm a dumbass. Yeah.
First things first. N3DS 9.0.0-20E, RXtools autoboot via homemenuhax, emuNAND unlinked... Was.
Now it's bricked cause I tried to load up gateway's launcher.dat via ninjhax from rx-e (emunand). I loaded CN, scanned GW's QR, splashscreen came up an then hangs on loading exploit. I've waited a little, then shut system down.
Aaaaaandddd... Brick. Gladly, emunand only, sysnand boots just fine.
So I'm curious here. I have sysnand backup that was done a while ago. After that I formatted system several times. Is it possible to inject this nand to my SD using emunand tool to restore it to a working state with all content installed (>40GB, that would be pain in the ass to install all that cia's over again), or I'm a goner?
No way of fixing?


Edit. Got it working now.
Solution is to dump emunand with tool and restore it back. Easy.

Thanks man! I am able to boot CFW with L Button Now.
But it always says not able to boot Emunand. When it boot Rxtools (Emunand isnt possible with N3ds, right?)
Should i keep RX Tools or can you recommend another CFW for N3ds?

Is there any success in faking nintendo eshop/ update server with your wifi or pc?

Man, you're wrong. Apparently there's no working emunand for New3DS higher than 9.5, because of new encryption. It works great though on 9.5 itself.
All you have to do is to create it through gateway loader (Format emuNAND selection), and then unlink it of your sysNAND by simply format your N3DS without microSD inserted.

Okk just to sum things up.I have a few questions.Im getting the 3.0.0-6u o3ds today,it will come with a "R4" and thats it.My friend will lend me his project x zone (us) so i can go to 4.x.now to the questions.
1-the easiest way to get rxtools is going through the mset exploit correct?
2-i cant register to that iso site and thats bothering me(if someone can pm me with some Mega link with some cias it would be great)
3-in that website legit cia always keep poping,and even after reading the cia question fixed post,i still have one question;The only way to be sure ill not get banned is getting private header right? or just using those legit cias will not get me banned?
i think thats all...thanks.

 

[Methsman]

@Dark Ronin okay! So i have to boot into gateway mode and format emunand? so it saves it to my sd card?
and i unlink it by formatting my 3ds?...and what can i do with the backup? Please explain it to me ✌

1)The best thing from 4.x is the mset exploit. Use this guide to set it up, it has everything you need to know: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-installing-rxtools-custom-firmware-3ds-and-2ds.390867/

2)You can't ask for that over here, is against the rules so you better knock it off .

So, try using another computer/device and figure your way around that ISO website, you are on your own here.

3)No, private headers are for people using Gateway or Sky3ds carts, cia installed games don't need private headers, it doesn't matter if it's legit or not.

If I copy my SD that has my emunand, then format SD and copy back do I lose my emunand partition?

 

[TheIcarus]

Can FBI be used to load ROMs or is it just used to install programs like Bigblue?

 

[calebsw]

FBI can be used to install CIA files, which can be apps like emulators or big blue, as well as commercial ROMS (both from the eshop and retail)

No, not blocking, faking.

Formatting through windows built in or the 3DS' formatter will not wipe your emunands partition.
You'd have to use a program like SDFormatter to completely wipe the SD.

no chances of getting banned? awesome! thanks tony,ill try that tutorial and move my ass to register in the site.

Gah so apparently I have 9.9 and not 9.0 since apparently I can't read correctly. Is there anyway to downgrade my system version?

Not unless you have a hardmod for O3DS + a NAND Backup of when it was 9.2 and lower.

If I reset my Sd and 3ds data completely would it downgrade? (I'm fine with doing this since I'm using a 3ds with no data or games on it)

No. it'll just stay on whatever current firmware it's on.

Really? Even if I delete everything off the Sd card and format system memory?

If only it were that easy.
