The 2 big advantages for me are: no failboots, and easier to run gba injects.
There seems to be a really good video guide here:
I haven't done it yet because it involves a lot of updating and downgrading firmwares and seems like too much work .
That would be forever then. the New 3DS will always have more risk as it was never designed to run 2.1 nor any O3ds firmware (in fact 9.x O3DS and higher will brick the New 3DS if 2.1 is accidentally updated via cart or system settings)Is it worth the risk doing a9lh with a new 3ds? Personally I think I'll just wait till it's safer.

right now, there is recourse to a partial 9.2 downgrade so at least get on 9.2 now or else you could end up on 10.8 (when it comes out) if you need to Safe Mode update out of a partial 9.2 downgrade.
I'm actually downgrading to 2.1.0 right now. There is a patch for 2.1.0 in otphelper that will make it work in sysnand on a new 3ds. It's worth the risk, considering you get 100% bootrate and you've "future proofed" you're 3ds.
Thanks. I'm using that video tutorial and the one I found and checking them with each other to make sure I don't screw up. They seem pretty simple. I'm currently in the process of making 2.1.0 work for new 3ds with otphelper.good luck and make sure to follow the steps to the letter and you will be good. if you get stuck, feel free to make a thread here or PM myself or other members here.
YES!!! My downgrade worked. My 3ds is now on 2.1.0.
I haven't used this guide, but I've heard it's good.

Wouldn't it be better and faster for him to just use the guide at that point?once you get your OTP, make sure to be very careful when following the steps after so you do not accidentally brick it after all the trouble of actually getting the OTP. post back once you have A9LH installed. if the video guide has you using Cakes instead of AuReiNAND or has you using CloudA9H instead of SafeA9LHinstaller, post back here and I (and others) will help you setup A9LH with SafeA9LH and AuReiNAND.

True. Usually only one way to get a9lh installed, but I see where you're coming from.probably, but the video guide and the OTP guide by @Plailect may not line up in a way that way allow smooth transition between the two and I would rather have questions asked here than to mess up and potentially brick.

Done it all too
Honestly is so much cleaner like this than the old stuff. I have to say I did crap my pants (figuratively) a few times during the process. And Jebbrs Crabst, that was long and painful. Worth it I think. Won't do it again in the near future...
im confused about the term they are using "RedNAND"??I haven't used this guide, but I've heard it's good.
