Hacking [Tutorial] How to convert Arm9LoaderHax payloads to FIRMS

[MelonGx]

try py firmtool....

after installing cryptography and running setup this worked for me

CMD said "py" is not an executable program.....

Well I need to find the cryptography first.

1) Download Python 3.6.1 from here https://www.python.org/downloads/
2) Install and make sure you select add to path
3) Unzip firmtool to directory
4) Open command prompt in admin mode and run "pip install cryptography"
5) Still in command mode navigate to directory where you unzip firmtool
6) Run the command "python setup.py install"
7) To convert bin file run command as follows "python firmtool build test.firm -n 0x23F00000 -e 0 -D arm9loaderhax.bin -A 0x23F00000 -C NDMA"

humm what about gateway payload?

Probably not until early next week. I did it for the latest release versions I could find on github of the ones I use but I am going on a long day trip tomorrow (Saturday) and am heading to bed now. Perhaps sometime Sunday if I am not too tired.

Never mind. I figured it out.
For anyone who cares. Here's the latest nightly versions of Decrypt9, EmuNAND9, and Hourglass9. I just followed directions. Haven't tested them yet.

Edit: This is rather outdated except for EmuNAND9. d0k3 has made official firm versions of Decrypt9 and Hourglass9.

I don't understand what is .firm, for what do it ? It's better than payloads?
Say me please

firm is a better version of the old bin payloads and cfw like luma only support sighax snice today

These are payloads for Luma3DS v7.1. Starting with version 7.1, Luma3DS only supports B9S. You need firm instead of bin to use with Luma3DS going forward.

Sighax is operational?

Sighax is operational?

yes i installed sighax a few hours ago no bricks no nothing

I go to do it on 10 3DS XD

hahahaha good luck

How do i update B9s when an update comes out?

How do i update B9s when an update comes out?

Copy the new boot.firm to SD card and to CTRNAND.

okay thanks

First of all: thanks for this tutorial.
I use Luma 3DS and boot9strap updated from arm9loaderhax.
I have a Gateway card and I want to convert the Gateway 3DS payload in .bin to .firm to try it but I don't understand the instructions xD.
Anyone can help me?

I can do it for you if you'd like to send me the Payload. I don't use Gateway so i can't test it, but I can convert it.

Could you please download the arm9 payloads and convert them please since this application doesn't work on my computer

Okay, I'm going to send you a PM because I don't know if upload the Gateway payload here is "illegal".
Thanks for your help .

If you provide me the exact arm9.bin you want converted, I'll help. I'm not going on a hunt Lol

 

[darkalex004]

Here you go

Thanks, I'm going to inject a NAND backup in 11.2 to try it and post the results.
