Hacking Assistance with a9lh please..

[nero99]

Hello. I have successfully crossed over to the a9lh master race (finally). I did the simple and easy way of just having it boot straight to emunand because I didn't want to brick my sysnand some how. My problem is that no cia installer will work.. Big blue menu crashes the system, FBI always give the invalid argument error so I can't install anything else. All my other apps and games will boot and play just fine except for the two file managers. Does anyone know how to fix this?

New 3DS 10.7 Reinand 4.0 a9lh
128gb micro sd card with less than 90gb free space

Oh, I just had the same issue as you, sort of!

i cant do that because dc9 wont launch, yet uncart and eunand9 will..

Do you have all the slotkeys on root where they should be, are you holding start as you boot up to launch D9, and do you have def_Dec9.bin at SD:/luma/payloads/?

i have all the slot keys in the right place, have all the proper files in the payload folder named correctly, and yes, i hold start when booting up and only get a black screen. i can boot rednand/emunand with no issues, sysnand crashes after 5 seconds of booting, emu9 loads when pressing Y and same with uncart pressing X..

 

[nero99]

anyone?

 

[CrispyYoshi]

Hmm, can we see your root and SD:/luma/payloads/ folder?

Are you absolutely sure the def_Dec9.bin is the correct payload file, and can you delete it and put a fresh one back on just in case? Have you deleted the Decrypt9 folder on your root?

 

[astronautlevel]

anyone?

Make sure you're also using the most recent version of Decrypt9WIP, it won't work with older versions.

Thanks for taking those pics! Do you think we can see the /payloads/ folder in your /luma/ folder?

 

[nero99]

Wait, can we see the /payloads/ folder in your /luma/ folder?

forgot to upload it

Hmm, that looks correct. Where in the Plailect guide did you stop?

I'm on part 5 where you should be able to use sysnand cfw, but i cant since dc9 wont boot

Are you confident that you used the most recent version of D9, Luma3DS, and SafeA9LHInstaller? Did anything weird happen when you tried restoring your SysNand_original.bin back to SysNand after you dumped your OTP?

If I had to guess, your SysNand is bricked with a functional A9LH, but Decrypt9 relies on some files on your SysNand to run properly. I'm not entirely sure, though.

All I can suggest right now is to "re-download all of those programs/all your slotkeys and make sure they are up-to-date/not corrupted". Perhaps you might even want to install an older version of A9LH because it could alternatively be a recent A9LH bug.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Oh, and try to see if it will load on a separate SD card. It could also be because D9 doesn't like your SD card.

the thing is, if i catch it fast enough, i can enter system settings in my sysnand. it says 9.2, heck, i can use the web browser as well.does a9lh not do good on 128gb micro sdxc cards?

I heard it slows down on larger cards, but I don't know if that's what's causing the problem you're having right now. I would suggest setting up LumaCFW, the slotkeys, and the D9 payload on a separate SD card, and see if that lets you boot into SysNand and D9 properly. Right now, we have to find a way to isolate the problem (or at least get you back the ability to flash a NAND.bin back to your sysnand if we have to)

Well it seems that there is a mystery app installed to the nand, which I didn't even install.. FBI fails to load so I can not delete it. The only homebrew app that works is cia angel :/ and every time I try to flash my nand back to a pre a9lh, emunand9 tells me "invalid NAND dump, can not restore". So it looks like I'll have to get a copy of oot and downgrade my emunand since FBI won't even load on there either. At least then I can downgrade to 9.2 and start over since I already have my otp

Also, system still did the same hint on my 8.16, and 32gb micro as cards.

Hmm, what if you restored a working SysNand.bin (which has FBI) to EmuNand via EmuNand Tool on the computer?

I have actually tried that. That tool refuses to work for me unless I try to inject an emunand dump it just created. I just hope I didn't corrupt my NAND dumps some how. I have one from a few weeks ago on a hard drive I need to find to see if that will hopefully work

so i found a working backup. dc9 is now working!
