Homebrew ARM9Loader -- Technical Details and Discussion

[solsolis]

Okay from emuNAND can't get past exploiting arm 9. Can the the stage0x5C000.bin be injected manually?

By using dark samus' updater. Place his files on the root of your SD card.

It doesn't work the console shuts off immediately. That's why I'm even trying to reinstall.

I dumped my OTP.bin finally. What's the next step?

(The end goal is to get AuReiNAND with arm9loaderhax)

hmm.. Are you sure you're booting emuNAND 9.2 with the 9.0 FIRM? (Press L if using AuReiNAND.)

OTP Guide has been updated to r2.2!

Detailed abstract, Mac support added, Python no longer needed, and safe for non-hardmod users!

Yep if I wasn't the installer wouldn't even start it would just go back to HBL.

Did you rename "installer.bin" to "arm9loaderhax.bin"?

 

[solsolis]

Did you rename "installer.bin" to "arm9loaderhax.bin"?

Yes. My problem is a documented issue with (some) N3DS consoles.

Can anyone tell me if I should even keep menuhax installed on my sysNAND??

Current i have the alpha v.2 arm9loaderhax bootloader. It is currently setup with (Holding nothing boots my emuNAND), (Holding L Boots sysNAND with sig patches disabled), (and Holding A boots up decrypt9).

Before the a9lh bootloader was released, I was able to boot into my old menuhax by holding down R, but now I have no idea how to do this. I tried adding the path to the boot_config.ini, but im not sure if I pointed it to the right file.

My current boot_config:
[DEFAULT]
path = /rei/arm9loaderhax.bin
delay = 2000
offset = 0
payload = -1


[KEY_R]
path = /arm9loaderhax.bin
delay = 2000
offset = 0
payload = -1


[KEY_A]
path = /Decrypt9WIP.bin
screenEnabled = 1
delay = 100
offset = 0
payload = -1

I have no idea what the KEY_R is supposed to do because whenever I try to hold R on boot it just stays on a black screen until i power off. Is there anyway to set it up to boot the HBL when I hold R? Or least menuhax? Also, like mentiod above, should I even keep menuhax installed on my sysNAND?? It seems pointless if I have the a9lh and the bootloader.

I have the same problem as solsolis.

And the minipasta trick does not work.

I finally got it to install it just took like 15 tries.

Uninstall menuhax. If you got A9L up and running, you don't need that anymore.

Ok then, time to spam the power key.

Oh , so with multiple attempts finally works! I will try.

Let me clarify. I never actually got the updater to run, but by compiling the new installer and running it from my 9.2 emuNAND I was to re install. It just took me 15 tried to get past 'exploiting arm 9' on my newly compiled installer.

 

[Qwertyqwerty]

Yes! I works. It took me 3 attemps

Oh, I thought that was the updater
Sadness.
