Hacking [Guide] Install a9lh without buying anything in 11.2

[Hyoretsu]

So we dont have to downgrade to 2.1 , isnt it?

We don't have to downgrade to 9.2, but 2.1 is still needed.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

This means that the guide is valid for all 3ds regions,right?

Yup.

Yup.

and if we just want LUMA?

You can have Luma+homebrew/menuhax+SysNAND or a9lh+Luma, which is the most common, best and modern method.

Ok thanks for your patience☺

That means you don't have a backup. Follow this and update.

I'm trying to do what it says, but at the start of section 2 holding X during boot does nothing. I can only access Hourglass9 at the moment.

You renamed the file to "x_Decrypt9WIP.bin" and put it in "luma/payloads"?

"2. Instead of going to "Nintendo 3DS/(32 Character ID)/(32 Character ID)/extdata/00000000" and deleting the "0000008f" folder, delete "00000098" if yours is EUR, "00000082" if yours is JPN and "000000A9" if yours is KOR."
Why do we have to do this?

Because if you don't, you'll end up with a black screen after rebooting.

Without a9lh and without any downloading you would need to follow similar instructions to #OP but boot emunand9 instead of decrypt9 - setup emunand.
Then every time you want to load luma3ds/emunand I believe you'd have to:
soundhax to get to HBL
fasthax to exploit k11
safehax to exploit a9
load luma3ds

Don't think anyone has tried it yet though.

And a9lh has 100% boot rate.

Hey Hyoretsu, check Step 26, it says to press 'UP', it should say press 'X' instead. Thanks for such nice work, to you and all the others that helped.

The way I did in my guide, it's UP, not X.

For me it worked with 'X', 'Up' sent me to a different menu.

You have the new3ds USA on 11.2? You did all steps the same?

Other thing, You used a cartridge? what cartridge?

In the video he uses a Zelda ooT ....and I have only Pokemon X....don't know if will have the same effect

That just means you did #21 wrong

@rafaeloz the game cart doesn't matter, could even be a ds game. Its just something to kick the 3ds out of its stall

Any cartridge might do the trick. It's only for some people that can't get safehax to work.

ok, enought doubt ....I'll do that later at home. Just have to buy a screwdriver to open that tiny screws on N3ds.
Reminds me when I did in the wii (it's more simple )....but I read a lot before do anything .

Thanks for your support !

I see, it seems as I had he file renamed as x_Decrypt9WIP, because I had to follow another tutorial to do step 19, as I didn't have the Nand backup. It's all good anyway, I finished the process and the 3DS is working as intended.
