ROM Hack Nintendo secretly locks back door. (Another Update Nag) 2/1/16

So I guess this emunand thing is the answer? Or CakesFW/REInand... I think I'll look into Cakes and REI first.

you need emunand to be able to use cakes/rei, those are custom firmwares that run on emunand

you _WILL_ need to downgrade in order to set one up. that's not covered in that guide, but you should be able to find it

My emuNAND is on 10.3, and I'm not planning to update unless NTR is updated to support 10.5 :/

 

[AKA-Link77]

Thanks for the help... Are there any dangers I should watch out for during the emunand process??
(Reminder I'm on 10.1.0-27U with Homebrew access)

 

[Ryccardo]

considering there likely aren't any more legit cia coming out

Pokemon generation 1, allegedly!

Are there any dangers I should watch out for during the emunand process??

Emunand, not really (well, after creating a nand backup but before making a backup of SD files and creating emunand, I recommend going through PastaCFW or DevMode in rxTools to install a fbi.cia on sysnand, saves headaches with injection).

But downgrading, there's a risk that after a "successful" downgrade your console will only boot to an error screen.
You can't predict that, and the fix involves updating to 10.5 or whatever's the current firmware.
You can defend against this possible failure (the causes are still unclear) by doing a factory reset before downgrading, you can use 3dsx homebrews to backup saves and extdata but you'll lose your activity log and Mii Plaza game progress + streetpassed Miis...

uh.. NTR does support 10.5. I'm using it right now (with reiNAND).

 

[SomeGamer]

uh.. NTR does support 10.5.

Only with 10.2 NATIVE_FIRM.

 

[Supster131]

Only with 10.2 NATIVE_FIRM.

Which is what ReiNAND currently uses.

Which is what ReiNAND currently uses.

In depends on the firmware.bin you download. 3.2b can use 10.5.

Really? Probably means NTR supports the 10.4 firm then? I'm currently on 3.2b and NTR works fine.

I have an O3ds Xl with Rxtools 05th december nightly Emunand 10.5...is NTR compatible with it?

 

[Ruby Gloom]

People are crying to me on skype about this new error code before i even heard of it. I knew that updating emunand would solve it but they say "it'll patch everything". Some people are so dumb.

Not to bother you, but after updating, I've received many new error codes. It's bit confusing. Nintendo is cracking down hard on us.

 

[SomeGamer]

Sorry, I should have said ReiNand 3.2b. NTR is 10.2 NATIVE_FIRM max. It's just that the latest ReiNand lets you use the latest NATIVE_FIRM.

yeah, but there will be a patch for this stuff within 24h. 2 ways to bypass the friends list and online play thing already

 

[xdarkmario]

Risky compared to what?
It sounds like the only reason this guy is still on 10.1 is to install legit cia, and considering there likely aren't any more legit cia coming out, being forced into upgrading through a softbrick should only mean the loss of homebrew at most for him.

That is assuming restoring a softbrick doesn't involve deleting your tickets for titles, which I'd hope it wouldn't.

Really? Is it that easy/safe? I have never tried it but I have a friend that wants it done on his 10.4 n3ds

You should be more specific.

If you're doing it for the region free aspect of it, then there's not point in using NTR with rxTools. Although yes, I believe NTR works with rxTools.

( Gateway user speaking. ) I don't use any free CFW. I paid for GW and use only their CFW. After the update, I've been soooo many error codes on so many things. Also, I think they updated something to prevent cheating in some games. I made a VR hack for MK7 and after updating, it didn't work. Not to mention my error codes don't have a specific number sometimes....? Error code 000-0000/0001/0002. It only informs me an error occurred. That's all. Sometimes I'll be playing offline on my games with no internet and it boots me out of games... I cannot understand technology sometimes. I have no clue what's happening.

 

[Amapola62]

it's just in case I want to install the fan translation of Fire emblem If/fates and its DLC...or the US version + DLC once it releases since apparently there's no news about an European release...
