Hello guys!
I modded my 3ds a few months back when it was on 11.2.0-35U and got Luma, FBI and all that in the 3ds.guide and freeshop. Now i heard 11.3 is out.
1.Is it still safe to update with luma+arm9lh?
2. I saw in 3ds.guide how to update arm9lh, should I do that? is there a new version?
3. How do I update Luma correctly? I just run the luma updater on the 3ds and let it do its thing?
4. Do i have to update freeshop to use it? how do i do that?
so far i have this questions, they may be pretty dumb but im a total noob at this so far I have only modded my 3ds from stovk to luma+arm9lh following the guide so i have no idea or experience in updating them. Thanks.

1. Yes as long as you have Luma 6.6 or newer.

2. I don't know but probably not. It doesn't hurt to do it but it probably doesn't hurt not to do it either. I personally won't update. If someone knows better, please correct me.

3. With Luma updater

4. Probably not.

How have you updated your systems in the past? Cart or online? And do you have a9lh?

Cart and offline

Cart and offline

Do you have or want to have a9lh?

 

[djalmafreestyler]

Do you have or want to have a9lh?

To access soundhax and install a9lh.

 

[Uumas]

To access soundhax and install a9lh.

Normally you should update once online but because installing a9lh requires 11.2 or lower, you can't do that. You can try downloading the payload for -7 and otherwise the same but I have no clue if it's going to work.

Hey there i need help about something, i actually made a thread about it in another section but there is no answer to it yet. It goes like this:

"Cannot run Mario Kart 7 new SMB 2 or Pokemon SM on the sky3ds+ 130 firmware, what is wrong?

With this latest firmware, i should be able to play those game, they says the compatibility is "PASS" and yet nonne of these games appear on the screen. i have looked to many places on the internet and im unable to fix that problem on my own so please help me. I have other games that work just fine which are: Pokemon x, omega ruby, star fox 3d, zelda a link between world, zelda ocarina of time and super mario 3d land. Why are these ones working and not the others? Thank you!"

There. Can someone help me with that?

Hey guys,

I'm using free shop but the more recent games are not showing up (not so recent btw).
I have the right title keys url so what can be happening?

you likely don't have the correct title key url (or need to update freeshop)

I am playing monster hunter generation via cia FBI install. do I need to update it or something to play online? or am I safe to play it?

if the game requires an update then you need one . . .fyi its totally safe to use the eshop or freeshop to obtain your update

1. yes
2. it depends do you want the ability to turn on your console without the sd card inserted if yes then do it
3. you got it
4. the app itself no (but i would) also if you set it up correctly it will update its title key url automatically

Check your microSD for errors using H2testw. It's probably faulty.

 

[BigPlayer]

H2testw? I never heard of that. What is it, what does it do and where do i get it? Thanks for replying btw .

When launching FBI it says 'kernel backdoor not installed' are there any kernels for 11.3? I've tried waithax but it freezes at a certain point

You're SOL. There's no kernel for 11.3.

 

[AyeeAyanna]

You're SOL. There's no kernel for 11.3.

Oh, well any recommended homebrew apps until I'm able to get anything other than homebrew?

Luma is not something you install. No CFW is anymore .. A9LH is what loads the CFW of your choice and this happens the moment you hit that Power On button of the console. The CFW comes in a form of "arm9loaderhax.bin" file, that is on root of your SD card. When you boot your console and you get to the main menu .. you're on CFW. If no such file is present, the console switches off. So it's a seamless boot without the need of having to go to somewhere to boot into the CFW specifically.

When A9LH is installed you're safe from bricks. sysNAND backup is nice to have (for saves etc.), but not even essential because an universal 9.2 ctr transfer image exists that one could potentially use to recover from a brick if they didn't own a NAND backup themself.

In any case all you must do is follow 3ds.guide .. Just remember what I said about the emuNAND. I'm fairly sure your set up uses it, so you must back it up. Even though the guide doesn't tell you to do it right then and there when you boot into Decrypt9 I'd recommend to do so anyway just to avoid any potential mistakes you might later do.

Thank you once again.

I've managed the install everything (including Luma and arm9lh) by following the instruction at https://3ds.guide your suggestions.

For anyone reading this post with similar doubts/concerns, I can confirm you can just follow https://3ds.guide steeps, there is no need to remove or even format the system system before starting the process.

DrawAttack and Lemmings are both pretty fun.

ROM hacks Pokémon Rutile Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. If you have n3ds, Nova Sun and Umbra Moon

Ok i did it, there are no mistakes and Mario Kart 7 and Pokemon SM are still
not working. What should i do now? I want to play MK7 and my firmware is supposded to be able to run it.

If you own the otp.bin of two consoles, is it possible to make a nand backup from one console ctrtransferrable to the other?
