Hacking [WIP] Complete Custom Firmware Guide

[dark_samus3]

Hmm well okay, thanks for your information.
Seems like a great guide, I guess I'm going to try it right now.

Good luck

I don't know if it's possible to boot HBL through cfw, but I found a great way to have both by way of HBL Emergency. Just put it in place of your cfw.3dsx with your cfw renamed to boot_1.3dsx and HBL renamed to boot_2.3dsx. This way, you can boot your cfw by default, and HBL by holding the R button. This should be added.

I can't seem to install FBI on emunand 10.1.0-27 or sysnand 9.2.0-20E. am I'm doing something wrong?
Does FBI only work on emunand 9.2.0-20E and below?

What CFW are you using? Make sure that you are patching signatures if you're using cakes... Did you do the thing with the dbs folder? It is possible to install on emuNAND so you're good there

I'm using RxTools, I think I'm going to reset my emunand.

No don't do that, you didn't answer most of my questions, take a minute and answer them so I can help

I am using RxTools and I did the dbs folder(on the same SD as the emunand etc)

This is the error I get:

Install failed!
FBI.cia
Source: SOURCE_APP_BEGIN_INSTALL (0x5)
Module: MODULE_NN_OS (0x6)
Level: LEVEL_PERMANENT (0x1b)
Summary: SUMMARY_WRONG_ARGUMENT (0x8)
Description: <unknown> (0x2f)

Ok try it on sysNAND only then, since you're on 9.2 you can use browserhax

It is pretty difficult to get into the homebrew manager on sysnand(don't know why)
But when I do it can't install FBI on it either due to Invalid_Signature.

Boot rxTools in sysNAND mode, you can do that by holding R to get into the menu and selecting sysNAND mode

Gives me the exact same error

Try devmode?

That did work, it did require me to use the 1st RxTools 3 version.
Thanks, does that mean that I can use it on emunand & Sysnand and should I inject it in the H&S app?

well no need to inject it into H&S because you have it installed already... I'm beginning to wonder if maybe rxtools 2.5 doesn't have the capability of correctly patching a 10.x emuNAND causing the problems that you're having... That's why I honestly recommend Cakes because it's... well less of a mess than rxTools is

Doesn't Cakes offer less features then RxTools? Anyway, I found out that FBI is only accessable on sysNand and not emunand(which I guess is good because that means they aren't linked but I also can't play online)

Well once you're actually booted into the CFW (as in you can boot games) not really... the only one missing is GBA firmware auto patching but it's so easy to install the patched firmware that it doesn't really matter... as far as when in the menu, yeah there are some missing options but with Decrypt9 you get 90% of those back and with the current methods the options you don't get back are basically pointless as they're only useful when installing the CFW... I think I'll move to working with Cakes in my guide and substitute in Decrypt9 for everything else

"open the gateway public beta"

What exactly are you supposed to do here? I feel like I am missing something because the MSET cia I got won't install...

Well open the folder where you extracted the public beta... The MSET CIA should install fine even from an unpatched sysNAND

Also what step are you on?

Step 4. I think I am misreading it somehow. So I open the public beta folder, but what do I do with its contents. That is the only mention of gateway there.

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to mention this is on the N3DS. Also to clarify on the MSET install, I get a wrong title error.

I see where the confusion is coming from... The step used to be open up the public beta and navigate to the 4.5 MSET installers folder but I opted for the 6.x MSET because custom firmwares on 6.x or above try to install for 6.x MSET so you can safely ignore that odd step (I'll have to take it off too) anyways not sure on the wrong title error... Make sure you have the latest FBI and that the destination on the top screen reads NAND
