Hacking Is CFW worth the risk?

[Smashmax20]

Here:

https://3ds.guide/troubleshooting#ts_safe_a9lh_screen

IN the glitched screen you got, you should have pressed SELECT to install A9LH, even with the glitched screen.

Repeat the steps of going into the dukesrg URL and do that.

No, just repeat the https://3ds.guide/installing-arm9loaderhax part.

But I deleted all the files needed to get CFW in the first place...

There are people who got black screen even though they followed the guide correctly (That's what they claim)m
Such as @Lilligant case that nobody can find it cause since it fixed already. Also @amximo case that we not sure what the cause of his problem.
So, I would say there always a risk but very very very low.

Atleast, if OP following the guide correctly and have a Nand Back Up, the brick can still be fixed by hardmod except some user error brick.

I'll hold judgement until the brick is confirmed - as I think there is some confusion on this one.

But forced power off glitched screen shouldn't affect anything. Pressing select then panicing and forcing off - is just asking for a brick.

Anyone who wants to a9lh there systems needs to have the guide open in front of them and at least read a few steps/bullet points ahead while doing the a9lh'ing.

Just do like you initially said and redo the section installing a9lh. The guy who replied didn't see your post that you deleted all of the contents of your sd card.

I hate my life now. I DELETED ALL THE FILES NEEDED FOR CFW. So, guess I'm gonna do the first part of what you said, and redo this entire process. *sighs*

Yes. You're already in 2.1. Everything said in that link https://3ds.guide/installing-arm9loaderhax

Follow from there, and DON'T panic if you get a glitched screen in the dukesrg URL part, just follow the troubleshooting: https://3ds.guide/troubleshooting#ts_safe_a9lh_screen

Obviously you've had your answer given several times, but honestly if you follow the guide, you have a next to nothing chance of a brick, and the benefits of CFW is ridiculously good

I'M CONFUSED! I DON'T KNOW WHICH IS RIGHT! Do I download everything again, or just the A9LH stuff!? I need one valid answer!

Edit: Nvm.

This is a must doing thing. People shoudn't messing with A9LH unless they know what they do.
This way, thier console will safe or can be fix if accidently brick not by user error.

Exploits were not out yet like slowhax and stuff, but I was on 6.0. It had not been redisined yet and was on a github page, but it was basically the same

 

[Smashmax20]

Just making sure I got this right: I need to redo everything in the arm9loaderhax installation section and ONLY that? That's what I'm gathering from you guys.

The actual version of the guide that uses only fasthax and direct CTRNand transfer was posted on January 2017. This very month.
