If I am not using arm9, should I?

If you don't have a9lh installed, you shouldn't have arm9loaderhax.bin in the root of your sd card, so just disregard that last comment then

And after that, do I need to change the boot cfg file or anything else or even add the arm9 bin that is with AuRei?

If you are using a boot manager, yes. You have to edit the path so it can load Aureinand correctly. And no. Don't use arm9loaderhax.bin. It's not necessary for you.

I think this is the last question I will have, do I need to change the offset to 0 for AuReiNand? When I set it up for Reinand, I had the offset at 0x1200, do I change that at all?

Keep it at 0x1200.

added a config option to my crappy copypaste fork thingy. still have no idea why i put so much effort in to something so useless.

Hm, now I can't get passed the menuhax boot up. I may have done something wrong or forgot to delete something

What's happening? Is it freezing during the pretty debug colors, or will it not load Aureinand when you choose it from (what I assume you have) Ctrbootmanager?

I fixed the freezing white screen, but now I am onto a new issue. It says I don't have firmware(90).bin I am not sure how to create that or even if I truly need it to boot the CFW. Seems odd.

Oh that's an easy fix. You're just missing a file. Go here and click on the bottom link. It should bring you to a zippyshare page. Download the firm files and for simplicities sake, grab firmware.bin and firmware90.bin that corresponds to your 3ds type (o3ds/n3ds). Oh and put them in the aurei folder. Do not grab the firmware.bin from the NTR folder.

Ok, so is there a way to boot the console without having to press R?
And how can I remove menuhax loader? When i turn the console, the splash screen shows up and then the console goes to black.

Yeah, but you'll need menuhax autobooting plus a boot manager like Ctrbootmanager.
If you want to remove menuhax, just change the theme in the home menu.

A9LH?
Press select on boot, and enable all 3 options.
If menuhax, you need to set that up in the menuhax app.

Didn't need to delete it, just had to change it to type1, it does not freeze anymore but it takes me to the normal sysnand 9.2, how would I configure the boot so it starts the CFW?

 

[Februarysn0w]

easiest way to uninstall menuhax is change theme to default one.

I recommend switching it to type 2 and setting the trigger button to be whatever you'd like. That way, when you turn it on, it'll autoboot into your emunand and if you press the trigger button it'll just load you to 9.2 sysnand.
And I recommend Ctrbootmanager. Basically when you use it, it'll boot you to a menu where you can choose where you want to boot to (sysnand, emunand, hbl are all applicable).

I do have ctrbootmanager but got into a mess and now I'm unsure how to set up the boot config, I have it like this right now

boot_config :
{
  timeout = 0;
  autobootfix = 120;
  recovery = 9;
  default = 0;
  entries = (
    {
      title = "Reinand CFW";
      path = "/reinand.dat";
      offset = "0x12000";
    },
    {
      title = "miniPasta SysNAND (Hold R after selecting)";
      path = "/3ds/miniPasta/miniPasta.3dsx";
      key = 8;
    },
    {
      title = "rxTools";
      path = "/rxtools/sys/code.bin";
      offset = "0x12000";
    },
    {
      title = "Decrypyt9WIP";
      path = "/3ds/Decrypt9UI/Decrypt9WIP.3dsx";
    },
    {
      title = "Masher's GridLauncher";
      path = "/bhbl.3dsx";
      key = 10;
    } );
  theme :
  {
    bgTop1 = "000000";
    bgTop2 = "000000";
    bgBottom = "000000";
    highlight = "ffffff";
    borders = "ffffff";
    font1 = "ffffff";
    font2 = "000000";
    bgImgTop = "/yourimage.bin";
    bgImgBot = "/yourimage2.bin";
  };
};

Sorry for the late reply. If you haven't already solved it, what seems to be the problem?

I love N3DS redNANDs.

 

[redunka]

I'm not sure if it's a bug or what. @Aurora Wright, do you have any clues?
I can't boot CakesFW via AuReiNand's chainloader anymore.
It works fine with AuReiNand v3.11, but freezes with newer ones.
