Homebrew Moving from menuhax to arm9loaderhax. I have few questions.

[Bros.Life]

Hi guys!

I have a New3DS with SysNand at 9.2 with menuhax and EmuNand at 11.2. I'm considering move to ARM9LH. However, I'm bit confused.

1) Do I need just to follow this guide? https://3ds.guide/installing-arm9loaderhax

2) Do I need to delete something from my SDCard (menuhax files) before starting?

3) I don't need put my SysNand at 11.2 to use the newest arm9loaderhax method, right?

4) Is there any chance of bricking? I mean, not by mistakes, but for the system itself. Is it chance bigger than downgrading, for example?

Thanks a lot guys!

Yes , you can use this guide.


No


Unless the guide tells you to do so, you don't need to.


Not that I'm aware of.


Not even close !

wrong he has to start from the beginning of 3ds.guide

follow 3ds guide, it has a section towards the end for people with pre existing emunand. just make sure before you start following the guide that you delete your menuhax by changing your theme on your sysnand.

*shakes head start from the beginning juste because your on 9.2 doesnt mean you can skip anything, you need to start at the beginning to downgrade to 2.1 to get your OTP and then install A9LH. as long you follow closely and dont try to take shortcuts your fine.

I didn't try to take shortcuts. I misunderstood. I thought I could start from that part.

Why I cannot downgrade the EmuNand instead of SysNand to get the OTP file? One is copy of the other, it should work, no?

I got you. But what I'm not understanding is why there are two SafeA9LHInstaller.

https://github.com/Plailect/SafeA9LHInstaller/releases/tag/v2.0.6

https://github.com/AuroraWright/SafeA9LHInstaller/releases

What are the differences between those?

Thanks.

The OTP gets locked very early on in boot. Below 3.0, it does not get locked, so we can access it on sysNAND. If you boot a firmware below 3.0 in emuNAND, the system has already gone through boot up (on the updated sysNAND) and locked the OTP. Getting it on emuNAND does not work because sysNAND will already have booted and locked it.

Thanks for your explanation! My question now is about the SafeA9LHInstaller.
I'm confused because someone has helped my brother yesterday to upgrade his N3DS from menuhax to A9LH. I asked him for the steps he did , and it seems he didn't go to 2.1 to get the OTP. He just launched SafeA9LHInstaller on SysNand, and after restored the EmuNand to SysNand.

That's because I'm confused.

He must have had a9lh already and was updating it.

Just follow the guide and you'll be ok and listen to what it says like "dont put your 3ds to sleep on 2.1 if you use a n3ds"

If he had, he wasn't using. Because he had EmuNand.

Yeah, you're right. I know. It's just because I like to understand what I'm doing.
