Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Mrrraou]

Oh, I thought it actually replaced something in the boot process


I have firmware.bin and firmware90.bin in /rei on my SD card. Should I rename firmware90.bin to firmware.bin to make it use that one until I update sysnand to 10.5?

It corrupts the FIRM in a particular way to run custom code. So it's not taking over anything once it's set, it's set
Yes, use that one. It should allow you to run D9 and maybe FBI.3dsx.

Unfortunately it doesn't even boot with that firmware. Just hangs on a black screen as before.

Have the firm90 bin file on root if SD card and firm bin in rei folder

Restore the files as they were before, and try using the 9.2 sysNAND key combo.

Pushed a new build which fixes a derp (spotted by xorhash on IRC), it should fix 9.0 emuNAND booting on A9LH.

@mashers this may help you

So holding L with a 9.2 emunand should boot into it without black screen?

Yeah, hopefully. You still need the firmware90.bin in the rei folder.

@Aurora Wright
Does this have anything to do with booting a 9.2 sysnand with patches? I can't get any CIAs to install after booting sysnand with AuReiNand.

It boots now, but still doesn't let me install any CIAs (same error).

Do unsigned things boot? If they do, it has nothing to do with this.
What are you using to install the cias?

Not sure how to check... This is a vanilla sysnand so I have nothing installed on it.

What are you using to install the cias?

I'm trying to do sysnand > HBL > FBI.3dsx to install FBI.cia.

Is this now functioning on 10.5 A9LH sysNAND?

That's what I'm trying to achieve right now.

Yeah so, FBI is a last resort exactly for that reason, it doesn't really work with improperly signed (read: non system titles), you need to use a different .cia manager

@Aurora Wright
I want to change the button combos but I can't compile the 3.5.1 build. What exactly do I need to have installed to compile it?
Also, thank you, booting into emuNAND with 9.0 FIRM works very well now.

So the problem all along has been FBI?

So the problem all along has been FBI?

Are you holding L+R when you boot sysnand ?

I was able to install devmenu fine with AuReiNand sysnand > HBL > FBI.3dsx

Wonder if someone can help. Im trying to get my OTP on my N3DS XL system, i have gotten to Section III step 2 of this guide...

https://github.com/Plailect/OTP/blob/master/New_3DS_Spider.md

this step...

2. Go to http://dukesrg.github.io/2xrsa.html?arm11.bin on your 3ds

when i enter that url in the browser it just seems to load Decrypt9 and not flash the screen a few time!

Any ideas why thats happening??

Yes: you're not putting the right files on your SD. And this isn't the right topic for that.

Ok, so I did the following:

• Restored 9.2 sysnand
• Cubic Ninja > HBL > MiniPasta > sysnand
• Cubic Ninja > HBL > FBI.3dsx
• Installed FBI.cia and prBoom3DS.cia sysNAND as test apps
• Quit to Home Menu and unwrap apps
• Launch both to verify that they work
• Cubic Ninja > HBL > arm9loaderhax.3dsx
• System reboots
• CIAs still run!
• Install NASA.cia - success!

Sooooo, I'm guessing at this point that it's been FBI all along causing the problem. For some reason it didn't seem to want to install itself from the 3dsx when running through a9lh. But as long as it was already installed, it seems to work ok.

Phew, thanks for all the help guys!
