Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[moghedien]

Sorry but I'm having quite a problem since 6.0 came out. BootNTR doesn't recognize the homemenu and now in Luma I have this... weird thing :

I'm using a New 3DS XL / A9HL.

I removed the config.bin, installed the latest hourly, did the same. And still with the 6.1

Just so you (and the million other people reporting this bug in this thread) know, "Luma Updater" is made by someone else that isn't involved in Luma3DS. You should probably report that bug to them: https://github.com/Hamcha/lumaupdate/issues
https://github.com/Hamcha/lumaupdate
As for NTR not working, you just need to use a version that's compatible with 11.0, like this one: https://github.com/astronautlevel2/BootNTR/releases

Tried latest version of Starupdater to upgrade from 6.1 to 6.1.1, and it failed. The Luma3DS config screen that appeared upon reboot gave the version as "6.1-c711ed6" and refused to load the system after saving the configuration. Reinstated the 6.1 version of arm9loaderhax.bin and tried again, same results.

However copying the 6.1.1 release's arm9loaderhax.bin file directly from the Github .rar file and placing it in the SD card directly did work properly.

Not sure if this is the right place or if I should be mentioning it in the FBI thread.

FBI.3dsx doesn't work on a9lh Firm 11.0 Luma when launched from HBLauncher via Browser hax. It says it can't get service access. Is this a missing restored backdoor ? Or is this something unpatchable.

(I realize this isn't a huge deal since it's possible to do the H&S inject to boot strap but being able to bootstrap from browser would be a little more convenient if possible).

Okay I have been locked out by my own N3DS...
I have a PIN in my 3DS however now that I just updated to Luma 6.1.1 (hourly) I cannot login anymore even if I put the right combo of buttons... (it just hangs on there showing me the combo and that's it)
Any help woulf be appreciated

Try to go back to your previous luma build/version and see if that works

Yep worked! Thanks! I wonder why I cannot update with a PIN but have to remove it first and then re-add it again
EDIT: I think the PIN function is broken somehow now, I cannot use a PIN of 4 buttons anymore but use the maximum number otherwise the 3DS does not register it.

Just inject FBI into H&S. It's pretty useless to launch FBI from the Homebrew Launcher.

Not if you're using it to install the FBI.cia. The inject method requires restarting into Hourglass9 , dumping to SD, getting the card out, putting it in the PC , creating the injectable app, putting the card back in, injecting FBI and then using FBI to install FBI.cia . After which you need to go back and re-inject the original H&S (and possibly clear the icon cache to fix the home menu graphics). The HB Launcher method is much simpler -> Browser Hax -> FBI -> Install FBI.cia , done.

I need your help right now, I downloaded Luma3DS v6.1.1 latest hourly builds but my 3DS crash with an error, here is the error :

Processor: ARM11 (core1)
Exception type: data abort
Current process: loader

And don't say please «choose non-dev version».
Too, my «twlBg.cxi» need to be on the folder sysmodules on the 6.1.1 ?
Or just in the «luma» folder, because I've heard that.

This new update is way slower:
9.98 with original
11.41 with new :/

For me is only 8 seconds

For those of you that are getting blackscreens when updating. DO NOT USE STAR UPDATER! IF YOU MUST USE AN "AUTO UPDATER" USE LUMA UPDATER

Did you use it with the 6.1.1 update? This is a recent bug

 

[Deleted User]

I used Hamchas version.

Still can't believe the new build is actually SLOWER

 

[nooby89]

I can,t boot NitroHax with latest eversion. :#
I have the dev version on my twlBg.cxi is on the sysmodules folder.

I just launched it fine. Check your cxi file.

Im on the normal release if that makes a difference

Yes I did. The only bug I found are these:

It isnt

Also, re: starupdater problems, it seems like my ctrulib installation was out of date on my build server, updating seems to have fixed it. Though gh-pages seems broken and isn't updating with the new builds, and until it does starupdater won't work.

I've stopped officially supporting starupdater, anyway - switch to hamcha's app.

Hmm... Maybe I'll video it. I'm stopping the timer when I see the homemenu show
