Homebrew [RELEASE] OTPHelper - OTP dumping & downgrade helper

[d0k3]

otherwise I put my sysnand backup back on the sd and restore?

Yup. And if you should have problems with that SD card, unmounting / remounting in OTPHelper can help, too. What do you mean by unblocking it via PC, btw? You just used it via a card reader or did you?

I meant to say unbricked but that corrected itself, I used that python script, In 2.1 can I access internet settings to setup a connection?

No, you can't. Aren't you using Plailects guide? You need to enable it in 9.x.

It is enabled but I mean can't I edit my active connections?

No you can't, that's why the tutorial says to set everything up in 9.2

where in the guide does it say to setup the connections?

9. Make sure your WiFi is on (it has not been disabled from the SysNAND home menu settings), you will not be able to toggle it in 2.1

This also means you need a working internet connection already setup....

It does not. Your Wifi must be ON but having it setup is not a requirement, you can do that from 2.1.

Can i recommend a teeny tiny improvement for this?

A reboot confirmation.

Imagine me sitting there, as a sysNAND flash fails to validate, and i have to pop out my SD card (4GB) to put the sysNAND backup on it so i can restore my NAND. That moment of terror when you realize HOLY SHIT DO NOT SWITCH UP START AND SELECT OR FAT FINGER IT RIGHT NOW

As it stands, whatever happens you can still always go back and make things right as long as the program still runs. One accidental reboot at the wrong time and, well...

That is actually a good idea! See here:
https://github.com/d0k3/OTPHelper/commit/ba135a97d38246d6a7f521d4319417f46b0414d4

Reboot / Poweroff is now impossible while SD card not inserted (you can't even get back to the menu without an SD card in the slot), and regular reboot requires a combo of START + RIGHT. I won't do a new release just for this, you'd need to compile from source.

I can confirm the functionality of OTPHelper One Click Setup on a EUR N3DS. All validation stages checked out and everything worked smoothly.

Thanks for this wonderful program!

I can confirm OTPHelper One Click Setup on a USA N3DS. Thank you for the program and Plailect for the guide (even if it's confusing in parts).

Guys I need help,

I'm following this guide , basically managed to sucessfully validate it with the OTPhelper (i have O3ds)
I got the black screen when trying to reboot, so I hold the power button and basically can access the home menu with the SD card removed (but not with the SD card insert).

Problem is, I check the troubleshooting guide and I kinda dont understand what to do from there.
Any help is appreciated! (and terribly sorry if this is the wrong post to ask!)

Assuming you copied all files to the SD card at the beginning of this part, continue from Section 3: Getting the OTP. You can put the SD card back in once the system is started, and then use a browser exploit to run OTPHelper.

Oh so just continue with that browser section? thank you for the fast response!

I was thinking that I have to do this part "flash the backup to sysNAND" (as shown here, on the section "Black screen on sysNAND boot after downgrading")

Sorry, I misread your original post. If you downgraded EmuNAND to 2.1 and validated it successfully, you'll need to copy EmuNAND to SysNAND before being able to use OTPHelper to dump the OTP.

What version is your SysNAND at currently?

I already dump OTP.bin (in the middle of backing it up now), is there any chance to undo the process?
