Homebrew ARM9Loader -- Technical Details and Discussion

@jackb994 is right. You will need to restore a pre-A9LH nand backup to remove the exploit.

question about the security of updating A9LH auReinand sysNand. How safe is it to update A9LH with auReinand? Does it have like a anti-overwrite? And a member told me to put a "installeda9lh" file inside rei folder. So how to i put in a installeda9lh file? And what does it do? Also do i have to install aomething for added security?

If you're not using a boot manager (which it probably still wouldn't matter), then you're fine.
It's safe to update both emuNAND and sysNAND with AuReiNAND.

But to create that file, open notepad and save the file as "installeda9lh", but remove the .txt extension.

thank you for your response I'm curious, what does the installeda9lh file do?

I would like to know this too, i am hearing 2 different things

If you want to update you sysnand you need installeda9lh in your rei folder and others have told me AuRei automatically protects the firms

Confused here also

It has become an urban legend. [emoji14] People say whatever they want.

So are you confirming that installeda9lh is not needed at all ?

You don't need installeda9lh to block the firms.
iirc, it's so when you launch AuReiNAND through HBL, you still get the A9LH benefits (you obviously still need A9LH for this ).

So it was all just a prank? We've been trolled :/

Could anyone explain a bit about "screen-init"? I read it pretty often here and I don't get it. Just a bit explanation please.

In layman's terms, it allows you to use the screen before the system "boots". So you can use stuff such as Decrypt9 before sysNAND or emuNAND boots.

This is just my update practice;
-use a smaller capacity micro SD card class 10 for all OTP updates.
-use AuReiNand ver 3.4 (doesn't have the fancy stuff going on with firm blocks, flags, etc.
-pick and arm9 maintainer and stick with them for updates but be careful of darksamus3 builds, he has pushed code before that brick 3ds.

Woah! You're on such an old version, lol.

You caught me in a bad edit, should say 3.4, lol
I use current version of aureinand, but i have a separate arm9 updater SD running AuReiNand v3.4

Is there any way to hide the text that flashes for a split second at the bottom screen when you boot using BootCTR9? I'm using the latest one (Arm9 bootloader v0.4.1 Alpha).

Don't enable the screen.
