Hacking Anything I should do to a 1.0.0-0U 3DS before I update it?

[HopsOnBoxes]

I currently have a 1.0.0-0U 3DS that I have had since launched. Incase it matters, but it hasn't had any games played on it. I merely messed with the AR cards when I initially bought the system, and then just stuffed it in the closet and recently found it.

I browsed around gbatemp, and I noticed that there was a 1.0 nand dumper using cubix ninja, and I am aware that you can do NAND dumps of using hardmodding also, which I am trying to avoid. I also noticed people on a thread from february were saying NAND dumps were not needed of this firmware version and people were more concerned about 1.0.0-0J, and I was trying to figure out if the nand dump is not needed at that version before I go ahead and install CFW on it.

The only reason I don't go ahead and just do a nand dump due to having the tools is that I do not have cubix ninja, and I am awful with a soldering iron, and I am nervous about sending my 3DS off. But, I am willing to hold off on installing CFW and try to get a copy of cubix ninja if there is some benefit to it, and it isn't a complete waste of time.

Thank you.

There is nothing on 1.0. Just update via 4.x game cart.

 

[HopsOnBoxes]

Alright. Thank you.

Update to 2.1x and put A9lh on it. Stop don't update to 4.1x that the other member said else it will be to late, well not too to late, you will just have to downgrade to 2.1x again>https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-5-(arm9loaderhax)

Okay. You caught me in time! Thank you for the correction.

You could of downgraded again but a lot of hassle needed, that only a simple update to 2.1x for you is required Happy days keeping a 3ds brand new on 1.0x, well done! Of course you could always sell it on ebay as a brand new, never been updated 1.0x firmware 3ds, I'm sure they might be worth a premium price to sell.

Oops, forgot about a9lh. Silly me!

Good job I jumped in there like Superman and rescued the day! No harm done though, even if he had he could of downgraded again.

I don't think there's any need to update to 2.1. The only way to update is with a game cartridge which will not give you a browser, meaning you can't get OTP using the browser. So, Cubic Ninja will be required regardless. So you may as well just get the OTP on 1.0 using Cubic Ninja and skip the update which won't give you anything.

I thought the OTP wasn't available until Nintendo left a vulnerability in 2.1 specifically.

No, they just locked it on 3.0. Look at https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/9.2.0-Update under 1.0.0. Cubic ninja OTP is listed.

Since you don't have Cubic Ninja and the game is overpriced the easiest option will be to update to 4.x or 6.x with a game, you're going to need a DS flashcart to install the DS profile exploit as well.

 

[HenryLeonheart]

Instead of getting Cubic Ninja, try getting one of the early models of Sky3DS for cheap and use it as a *hax cartridge.

2 Options you have here. Getting OTP through Cubic Ninja and then update to 4.X or 6.X and use Freeway MSET to update to 9.2:
https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Cubic-Ninja-OTP
https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Cart-Update
https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Freeway-MSET

Second option is to do the last 2 links without getting otp, and getting it later, by downgrading again

Do not use a card update to 9.2 since you won't have a browser

1.0 - 2.1 with cart --- It's a nonsense because 2.1 OTP needs browser but cart upgrade give you NO browser

Workable options

1.0 + Cubic Ninja OTP (then go to one of the following method)
1.0 - 4.1-4.5/6.0-6.3 + MSET rxTools Pasta-mode Sysupdater Upgrade
1.0 - 9.9-10.7 + Cubic Ninja HBL PlaiSysupdater Downgrade
1.0 - 9.2 with specific SSB cart (or Sky3DS + specific SSB dump) (Somebody said some of the 9.2.0-NOT20 would crash on booting HBL but untested)

Everything requires additional hardware.
So please charge!
