Hacking New 3ds.guide flaw?

[osm70]

If I have a 3DS on firmware 2.1, I should be able to install A9LH and update it to B9S, right? Well, according to 3ds.guide, all I can do on 2.1 is use a hardmod.

since you have A9LH you only need to follow this part: https://3ds.guide/updating-to-boot9strap

I am talking about stock 3DS on 2.1. Shouldn't I be able to do this:

and then what you said?

Why was that part removed?

Oh, idk why that was removed
But yes, since you are on 2.1 you're better installing A9LH and then updating to Sighax

It was removed because A9LH is being phased out in favor of the new B9S.

But it's a valid entrypoint for 2.1 3DSes.

Well as of now there is no reason to use a 2.1 CTRNAND Transfer since it's not required with Sighax, that's why it's not there. The only reason it was required was to install A9LH which is now "obsolete". The majority of users are not going to be on such a low firmware from stock. Your best bet is to just use the link you posted and then upgrade to BS9 after you're on 11.4.

Yes but rather than being part of an "install a9lh" it should be remade as its own separate page documenting the browser exploit.

Perhaps @Plailect should just add something regarding 1.X-2.X systems in the troubleshooting section as he does with 3.x/4.x.
