Hacking N3DS XL Firmware by version number

[Xenon Hacks]

Even the QW4003 version?

The serial does not matter is this a MM unit that was kept since launch or purchased recently and held?

ah, shame. Didn't realize that. Was looking at this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-UNOPENE...289475?hash=item35f7b7e003:g:scUAAOSw1S9WdgYv

Might be more worthwhile to just settle for an o3dsXL then?

Just ask the seller if it was a launch unit or did they pick it up from a store or person recently. It looks to have wear so it might be a launch unit.

Yes. It would be a much easier/faster. I think you don't even need that now because of the new tool https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-emunand9tool-open-source-emunand-formatter-manager.405921/

Recommend*** Back up sysnand before proceed:-> Install Browserhax-> Run Browserhax -> emunand9tool -> back up sysnand (EMUNAND manager option -> dump sysnand to nand.bin)-> store this nand.bin somewhere safe rather than your mSD.

Optional***: Install OOThax (hax 2.5) onto OOT cartridge for more reliable boot rate than Browserhax. If you have OOTHAX, in the below step, use OOTHAx instead of Browserhax

Installation steps in detail and simple term***: Run Browserhax -> Run Pasta CFW or Mini Pasta -> Run Browserhax again (now in Pasta mode) -> Run FBI homebrew app -> Install FBI cia -> Copy the content of your SD card to laptop/PC -> Run Browserhax -> emunand9tool -> back up sysnand (EMUNAND manager option -> dump sysnand to nand.bin) -> Format EMUNAND (Complete EMUNAND set up -> Format SD (EMUNAND)-> Go to system setting and Format System Memory to unlink NANDs -> Re-set up N3DS -> Re-install Browserhax (if needed)-> Restore/ Copy back the SD content to mSD-> Set up rxTools files mSD-> run Browserhax-> Install menuhax -> Run/first boot installation rxTools -> Profit

and I thought modding my Wii would be difficult

Thanks for your tut! If I understand that correctly, then OOThax is just a substitute for browserhax and browserhax is not very reliable?

Do I have to mod my cartridge or the save on it for the hax? I would rather not sacrifize my precious zelda game

Plus he has the pin which suggests it was a pre-order from somewhere?

Yes. It's just a substitution for better boot rate.

OOTHAX is a modified save of OOT, so nothing's altered in OOT cartridge hardware.

Believe me, modding 3DS has becoming very much easier than when I first started learning back in June(?) and before that.

The concept can be easily summarize as: Back up original NAND -> Install CIA installer on NAND (to later make EMUNAND CIA installer)-> Create EMUNAND-> Unlink NAND (Optional)-> Install MenuHAx to AutoBoot to CFW (Optional)-> Install CFWs (which use EMUNAND).

If you don't mind using your SYSNAND, this is very straight forward approach: Back up original NAND -> Install Browserhax/OOTHAX-> Install Menuhax to autoboot into Homebrew Launcher (Optional) -> Run Pasta CFW (Install is just drop drag the Pasta CFW 3dsx into 3DS folder on mSD). That's it

I have an unopened (will open this midnight) NN3DSXL with a serial of QW1084. I didn't find this on the list (more info tonight).

EDIT: Hopefully it's hackable (and pirateable/moddable).

That is almost guaranteed to be >9.2
Highest serial with <=9.2 is QW1037 or QW4025.

I'm praying for you. All the best luck with the unwrapping. Make sure you report back.

Hopefully not, I found a ROM website and I wouldn't know when these exploits come out.

It's more than likely on 9.6

Well if it is how long would it be until we start seeing piracy/modding/homebrew on it?

Until either Gateway supports 9.6+ (which im positive they are holding onto it) or someone leaks or releases a new kernel exploit. So all I can say is soon™

Well someone told me modding (HANS most likely) goes up to 10.X. Is that true because I really want to start modding Kid Icarus: Uprising?

Yeah you can use HANS

Well other than that, I may just be part of the infamous Gatewait.

Told yah look on the bright side you can either wait things out or update and get a SKY3DS+

Nah I don't want to spend money. Hey does HANS let you use those new Smash 3DS hacks (change moveset, music, etc.)?

I wouldn't know I just use modded roms since I don't need HANS at all.
