Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Deleted member 414991]

I'm so discouraged with failing at installing CFW, should I just buy a Gateway 3DS, or a SKY3DS PLUS already?

Fuck no.

 

[Retinal_FAILURE]

Fuck no.

Is it possible to Re-load my NAND backup, after getting to 4.x and running Decrypt9, to start again? I stupidly updated from cart after downgrading to 2.1.0 to 4.x again bc i wanted to see if it would run ZELDA, but now im stuck as to what to do. I dont know what the OTP is, or where it would be after looking on the web at to what it looks like, no new file was made and the website that was supposed to give me a OTP never appeared the way it was supposed to, i still pressed SELECT, but the system never shut off, it just looks like a glitched screen. I shut down by holding down power, but no OTP.

What happens when you try a new SD card? If you don't have one, try backing up your data, formatting to FAT32 and putting it back.

New SD card does the same thing.

 

[Quantumcat]

New SD card does the same thing.

You should probably test the both of them with H2testw.

If you followed 3ds.guide you should have A9LH and you should have copied Luma3DS' arm9loaderhax.bin into the CTRNAND. If so, you won't lose your CFW

What is ctrnand? a9lh and arm9loaderhax.bim and luma3ds is in my sd card. so, is it safe?

The CTRNAND is part of the internal storage of your 3DS (not your SD card, it's exactly the chip inside the console).
For safety, follow this section before formatting: https://3ds.guide/updating-a9lh
It explains also how to put arm9loaderhax.bin into CTRNAND so that you can boot the 3DS even without SD card (that's the purpose of putting arm9loaderhax.bin inside CTRNAND)

I lost my only backup of unmodified firmware, 9.2 to be exact. I already made a new one, with a9lh and 11.3.
Question is - how do I remove all modifications from my firmware? I'd say I'm supposed to downgrade it first to 9.2 (is it even possible?), remove/replace some leftover cias and after that remove a9lh.
Is there an easy way to do everything listed up there?

Actually, you can just delete the installed content, and uninstall A9LH through SafeA9LHInstaller.

You need arm9.bin and arm11.bin on your sd card. 3ds.guide

Quick and easy question (I hope)

So, I've installed Luma CFW and Freeshop for a guy I know and he's using a 64GB SD Card formatted to FAT 32k allocation. Games all install through the Freeshop just fine, but, Pokemon Sun/ Moon give him an SD Card error of somekind he told me.

My question is can I download any 'Pokemon Sun.CIA' file and just install that using FBI? There's no extra tickets or seeds I'll need to install is there? It should just run... Right? I don't normally install CIA Games, just use the freeshop hahaha

As I said, it's on Luma CFW and 11.3 (I believe)

Thanks guys!

Yes, just install the cia with FBI.

Ace, I appreciate that man!

Here is my first 3ds noob question.
I own a New 3DS XL, European one.
Recently i bought Megaman Legacy Collection, and somehow, deep in my mind, this was to easy.
And yes, it didn't work, not showing up in my 3DS.
My 3DS is fully updated but is there a way i can play this game ?
I tried it a while back but all the options that were given, didn't work because the 3DS was updated.

If the console works and you can boot into D9 through some means then yes, you can flash your existing NAND backup on it. But updating from a cart while on 2.1 is a terrible idea, and there is a chance your console is "bricked". Many people have reported having an issue where after using a cart update on 2.1 caused them to not be able to select anything, ie. launch browser, games, go to settings etc. If you can do those things then good, but if you can't then you're screwed without a hardmod.

If i got a 4GB sd card, and have a a9lh+luma3ds on a 2ds, and i want to upgrade to a 16gb sd card, can I just copy all the files from the old sd card to the new one? Or are there some special steps?

Simply copy and paste everything, if you didn't create an emunand after following the guide
