Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[naddel81]

where do I get the Luma3DS.dat? I guess I need it for my CTRbootmanager, right`?

Guys, I'm sorry in advance if I'm on the wrong thread here...

So, after a while, I decided to install the A9LH on my other N3DS, checked the guide and realize it's different now...

"If you are on New 3DS, reboot with (Start) and continue to Installing arm9loaderhax"

So, we don't need to downgrade to 2.1.0 and get the OTP.bin now for N3DS?

Is it the same with OTPless install?
I heard there are some people bricking their 3DS with OTPless install...

You don't need to downgrade with n3ds. You use the OTPless install. The bricks were user errors which the software checks for now making it very safe

I just updated to the newest luma3ds. didn't work before because I didn't imagine arm9loader.bin was used for us non a9lh users. found out it is needed!

now I am here



and that is all that is needed, right?

so I am definetely in emunand now and can update just fine to 11.1?

any help is appreciated. thanks in advance!

best wishes!

Somehow, this new method feels scarier now than the old long ones...

It does yes but it is safer and easier.

OTPless install worked 100% for me, no issues at all during that part. Other than a long system transfer, the only issue was the partial downgrade thing, having to run sysdowngrader another time. Everything else was smooth sailing.

Ask @Aurora Wright

 

[naddel81]

can confirm 6.5 works on emuNand 11.2 just fine.



If I was just brave enough to try that damn a9lh to get rid of those unsuccessful boots I have occasionally.
But I teach myself to be thankful and live with it.
thanks for everyone who is contributing here with helpful posts.

Ok thanks!
I thought the latest arm9loaderhax(from 17/10/2016) and safeA9LHinstaller v2.6.2 were for the N3DS only and that 2DS/O3DS should have stayed on v2.0.3 and arm9loaderhax (from 19/6/2016)

I updated my A9LH with Luma 6.5 and I can confirm that CTR NAND works now :-)

Ask @Aurora Wright

if @Aurora Wright replies

I found this tutorial only that it is using the old version of Luma. @Aurora Wright can perform this process with the new Luma. ?

I saw and read the guide. I just want to know why do I have to download stuff via torrent download? What happened to simply standard? Torrent files sound like something that game pirates use.

No need for video.
Just do this https://plailect.github.io/Guide/updating-a9lh
Then copy the latest arm9loaderhax.bin to ctrnand using fbi.

I feel like I added a big black and bold warning below the changelog for nothing... I won't reply to PMs about it because it means you didn't even read.
