Tutorial  Updated

OTP Guide

Full Guide Release!

https://plailect.github.io/OTP/

All regions now supported!

If you appreciate this guide and the work I put into maintaining it, I accept donations through both Bitcoin and PayPal.

If you felt like the guide helped you out then I'd really appreciate it! If I get enough I may buy a 2DS for testing hardware stuff so I don't break another N3DS.

If the guide didn't help you out then I'm really sorry about that :(

In part 5, section 2, number 1, i cant get the webpage to load. It just freezes. any ideas? I already restored to 9.2 because it told me to in the guide. However, step 1 in that section says "
  1. Reinsert your SD card into your 2.1.0 3DS"
Do I have to downgrade to 2.1 again to do a full install?

He updated the guide in the morning, were supposed to be in 2.1 now.

I swear to god he changes the goddamn guide every week

Edit: Id tell you what to do next but im still trying to figure it out. Apprently we can continue and ignore 2.1 by going straight to otp from homebrew launcher, but then im stuck on the next step

Nope, continue through hbl, but like i said in my edit, not sure what to do. Were supposed to slect full install through otp, but thats apparently a new function of the recent otphelper update. I tried running the new otphelper but i just get a black screen

Plailect, please, can you not be so trigger happy on the updates and give us a month to finish the damn thing? Not all of us have all the time in the world to invest 8 hours in a day

So we downgrade again?!?
No, if your on 9.2 and have your otp, put your otp in the al9h folder and follow, put the rest of the files on sd card, than in hom3brew launch arm9installer and press start or whatever it is.

Sending from my phone, so its not really detailed.

So I just finished installing this on an o3ds and I plan to do my others soon. Problem is my others all have either patched agb_firm or downgraded system settings. Can I just continue like normal or should I reinstall the official ones before downgrading for my otp?

I would like to know so too, since I have System Settings downgraded as well.

I did read something about restoring the Settings to 9.0-9.2U by using the following CIA:

USA = 0004001000021000 9.0-9.5 = v8203 MD5: 5077D839633EC80E7A9D3CA98B794D4B
EUR = 0004001000022000 9.0-9.5 = v8202 MD5: 7D9E073A6349DDEF77E67B2102B4EEA5
JPN = 0004001000020000 8.1-9.5 = v9224 MD5: 375EDB36DA62AE44D4D8C91DAB854573

Might be worth the try.

@Plailect, @Aurora Wright I am at Part 5 - Section II - Step 3 - Full Install but the Install gave me a Payload_stage1 was the wrong size whenever I go to http://dukesrg.github.io/2xrsa.html?arm11.bin

I noticed that the arm9loaderhax link has two builds, one for noscreeninit and another one for screeninit. The guide makes no mention whatsoever about which one of the two I should be using.

Which one should I use if I'm doing the install on a downgraded 2.1U N3DS?

So I didn't wanna open a thread for this but I would like to know if I can carry on the process. While downgrading the 3DS an error occurred and had to turn off my 3DS I went again to downgrading it but now it only checked one file and downgrade the nfirm, does this mean that is still a partial downgrade ?

No it should be good now. As long as NFIRM is not done it is a partial downgrade.

And you should have post here:

Well, seems like my brother didn't update his emunand in Prailect's guide Part 4, section 1, 5th step....somehow, he reached Part 5 section 4 and even when he followed the troubleshooting guide still got a black screen....I remove the sd while it was turned on and it works, but it showed the "sd removed" message, then I plugged it back and it works like "normal"....then I restored the formatted_nand with no problems.
My point is....it's possible to update the originald emunand at this point? He obviously wants his stuff back from the emunand_original.
