Homebrew Pasta CFW autobooter?

[jaksy]

Did it. You can try. You know why the menuhax loop? Becausee Pasta boot SYSNAND and SYSNAND has menuhax autoboot. Asking the solution to break the menuhax loop after choosing Pasta CFW.

If you have menuhax autobooting on both sysnand and emunand simply hold the modifier key that prevents it from booting to bypass booting it when loading into emunand.
This should get you into emunand, and if you have unlinked nands you can simply change your theme in emunand to remove menuhax from autobooting in emunand.

This should fix the boot loop issue people have with themehax/menuhax doubling up on sysnand and emunand.
edit: Woops, you mentioned you're encountering the issue in pasta not rxtools. I should have read a little closer.

This has nothing to do with emuNAND pasta is sysNAND only

Doh, I figured tivu100 was referring to the rxtools bootloop issue, didn't see him mention he was also using pasta.
My bad.

Yes, bypassing the menuhax autoboot to get into elevated sysnand unfortunately requires an inconvenient buttonpress in most setups.

 

[Jacklack3]

enter sysnand and format.
If you screw up, simply use your NAND backup to restore the nand i think.

Um...So your saying it gives you the choice to format sysnand or emunand?

I dont quite under stand what your saying.

You can use the HBlaunchers with CTRbootmanager. Boot managers are not too complicated, you're simply being lazy.
Given your age and knowledge level regarding these technical things it's really unwise to run a pure pasta system.
You should most definitely run an emunand, as chances are quite high of bricking through user error on pasta when in sysnand.

Wait so theres a risk of bricking?

Well just to note i got the bootmanager working. I didn't open it in notepad++ and so it looked messy. Bit i did now and its really good!

So what if i use miniPasta? is that safe?

the general recommendation is to set up an emunand and do everything in that. that way, if something goes wrong and gets broken, you just have to restore an emunand backup or at worst set up a new one from scratch. if something goes wrong on sysnand, you have to hardmod

There's always a risk of bricking when playing with sysNAND... Mostly just don't mess with system titles and you should be fine.

It doesn't.
I formats the NAND your using currently.
If your on emunand, it formats emunand.
if your on sysnand, it formats sysnand.

There's absolutely many easy methods of bricking through user error if you mess around on pasta sysnand without the safetynet of a CFW running on emunand.
That's not to say running rxtools to boot an emunand is without risk either, rxtools has some options in it's menu that if you mess with without knowing what they do can brick your system as well.
But as a rule of thumb, yes, running a CFW through emunand is much safer than running a barebones pure pasta system.

It doesn't.

If your on emunand, it formats emunand.

...Oooooh!

Ugh i been so stupid.

So i make my emunand, go on it, and then open tinyformat?

Will it show what its formatting?

Oh okay! All i do is just go in pasta goto FBI then install my cia then exit out, goto pasta and then go in the menu to launch my cias.

So i guess im okay!

If you choose to set up a new emunand you should probably read and follow a guide rather closely rather than trying to stitch together the process from small post snippets in this topic.
I'd suggest the rxtools tutorial, but it might be rather overwhelmingly large and complex for you, so maybe someone can suggest another more streamlined tutorial you can follow for emunand creation if you desire.

 

[tivu100]

Choose the hold L config, that way you hold L to boot into pasta and then just let it go to make sure it doesn't loop. Not the most convenient solution but probably the only one you're going to get

I already figure this. Just that I am looking for a way to auboot into Pasta SySNAND without holding any buttons through either Ctrlboot manager or HBL)

This is for N3DS.

I am using this method , and have linked NANDs with 10.5 EMUNAND ReiNAND and autoboot to EMUNAND option. There are many occasions I still need the convenience to boot into miniPASTA CFW SYSNAND mode (need FIRM 9.0). Because of that rxTools SYSNAND Mode is out of option; Devmode navigation is not conveninet, ReiNAND mod is not possible because I use official ReiNAND for EMUNAND (if I only use ReiNAND mod, problem still persists due to I need CFW mode SYSNAND FIRM 9.0)

I was following a guide but then stopped because i had to format my sysnand and i felt unconformable to do that so i stopped reading the guide.

Yeah, a lot do, and some don't even guide you through a method to backup and restore your sysnand after creation.
That's why I'd suggest reading and understanding what you are doing before attempting any new procedure.
You really don't want to have to bail out half way with a half broken system.

So how can i format my emunand instead of my sysnand?

Search for Tiny Format. On EMUNAND run browerhax -> HBL -> Tiny Format

OK so let me get this straight.

Make a emunand
Download tinyformat
go on emunand
use browserhax
run tinyformat
then bam?

Correct. If you want linked NANDs, you can use this method https://gbatemp.net/threads/howto-menuhax-on-linked-nands.403441/

 

[Jacklack3]

Correct.

Okay.

But will tinyformat tell me what im formatting? just so i dont slip up?

and then what do i do after that?

No you have to make sure you know whether you are in EMUNAND or SYSNAND yourself.

Ok. So once i format my emunand im done? then what do i do?
