Homebrew I'm on 4.5.0-10U and get stuck... help!

[skateredm]

Hello guys, i have a 3DS XL on the sysNAND firm 4.5.0-10U and want to install emuNAND to get some 3DS .CIA games, however, can you guys help me to launch Homebrew Launcher? It seems browserhax dont work in my current firmware, and i dont have Ocarina of Time or Cubic Ninja as it seems to be the only entrypoints to HBL to work in my 3DS XL firm...

I also have a R4i3D (http://www.r4i3d.com/) with works good with my firm, can i somehow use it to an entrypoint to HBL?

The entrypoint for browserhax dont work in my firmware... is there a way to access with this method on my actual firmware?

Theres also the Gateway method with worked to open the Gateway menu with i got somehow the tutorial in the net, but theres not the option to launch the HBL there...

Long story short, what EXACTLY i can do while im in in this firmware???

Thanks for the attention.

You can't use browserhax on 4.5. It exploits things not introduced until 9.0. I don't think you can even use the homebrew launcher at all no matter your entrypoint. Follow https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki (not the current one but there's a link to the new location there). Start with "Get Started".

Well, browserhax uses *hax payloads, which only work on >=9.0. Strictly speaking the exploit itself is available on all versions with the appropriate browser below 11.0.

@skateredm Your best bet would be to find a game cartridge that has a 9.0-10.6 cart update.

Install mset (or browser Exploit), use decrypt9 mset and install the 2.1 ctrnand file. Then install A9lh and install the 9.2 ctrnand file. You can find a guide here https://plailect.github.io/Guide/

Oops I'll fix that

You can use browserhax on ANY version below 10.7, what you can't is use it as an entrypoint to HBL. Browserhax is an alternate way to install the older Launcher.dat/Decrypt9/Rxtools, it's just that it doesn't get current support out of anything other than decrypt9.

EDIT: And Brickway, i mean gatewait.

Yeah but launcher.dat etc don't use boot.3dsx. So that's "a" browser exploit, but it isn't browserhax.

According to GBAtemp wiki

The .3ds / .3dsx format[edit]

• Boot method: The homebrew is launched from a front end launcher.
• Filename: For Smealum's homebrew launcher use boot.3dsx, every homebrew has a different folder. For Gateway use any name .3ds and place in on a microSD.
• Requirement: For the gateway (.3ds) requires a Gateway 3DS flashcart running firmware 2.2 OMEGA or newer. For Smealum's homebrew launcher (.3dsx) requires a ninjhax exploit and an SD card with boot.3dsx (can be either your homebrew or the homebrew launcher) files on it you'll also need a wifi connection to the internet from your 3DS.
• Access level HBL with ≥9.2 SysNAND: The homebrew is usually only allowed User-mode access and has access to only 30% of the system core's first CPU thread, and 100% access to the second thread, although it can gain limited system access by using memchunkhax2. As a result, most homebrew cannot modify or access the system in any way using the current implementation of ARM11 homebrew, but the ARM11 services are available.
• Access level HBL with ≤9.2 SysNAND: Homebrew is allowed system access if using a CFW with signature checks disabled.
• Access level Gateway: Homebrew ran using the gateway will have as much access as any other game.

Apparently the .3dsx format only came to being with Smealum's HBL, and can only boot from ninjhax based exploits. Browserhax can work with the .DAT exploits and .3dsx (if somewhere beyond 4.5 but prior to 11.2(?))

Just definitions :-p You never see someone say "use browserhax to get into Gateway mode". Browserhax is synonymous with the HBL in everyone's minds.

That doesn't make it correct if you're a purist like me, i rather things to be called their own name. I hate it when people cal a9lh "arm9".

The Homebrew Launcher lets the user run unsigned homebrew compiled in .3dsx format in User-mode on the ARM11 core. It was originally developed by smealum and gemisisDev, since its release more developers are helping and improving it. It exploits a vulnerability in 3DS a System Software versions 4.x to 9.2.x with eShop revision 7 to 20.

You will not need a Flashcart to use it, but will need the retail game Cubic Ninja. Cubic Ninja launched from a flashcart is working too.

Installing The Homebrew Launcher

1. Download and extract The Homebrew Starter Kit to the root of your 3DS SD Card. You should now have a file named boot.3dsx and a "3ds" folder on the root of your SD Card.
2. Enable Wifi and launch Cubic Ninja game
3. Choose the "Create" menu and select "QR Code" method, then "Scan QR code" option.
4. Go to http://smealum.net/ninjhax/#qrcode and select your System version to generate the corresponding QR Code
5. Scan your QR code and it will download "The Homebrew Launcher" loader automatically and install it into the Savegame slot of Cubic Ninja game. It will also launch automatically after the Installation.

Launching The Homebrew Launcher

1. You don't need Wifi once it's already installed to your Cubic Ninja game.
2. Run Cubic Ninja and go to QR Code menu. The Homebrew Launcher will load.

Place your homebrew in either one of these locations:

1. /3ds/<homebrew_name>/boot.3dsx
2. /3ds/<homebrew_name>/<same_as_folder_name>.3dsx
3. /3ds/<filename>.3dsx

If you want an icon for your Homebrew to be displayed in The Homebrew Launcher, place it in either one of these locations:

1. /3ds/<homebrew_name>/icon.bin
2. /3ds/<homebrew_name>/<icon or folder_name>.smdh
3. /3ds/<homebrew_name>/<icon or folder_name>.icn

According to that, HBL SHOULD work for 4.5. but only from cubic ninja, OP can maybe try to download the 4.5.0-10 payload from smealum's site and see what happens? I doubt it can load from "browserhax" though.

The lowest payload on smealum's site is 9.0.0-7.

Oh, alrighty then. I guess it can only launch from Cubic Ninja on versions prior to 9.0.0-7.

 

[einhuman197]

Guys. Ninjhax2 and browserhax only works >=9.0. Other browser Exploits (such as 2rxsa) work on firmwares below but they can't launch hbl.
