Prepare to double as a helpdesk, this thread's in for quite a ride! Great work!

 

[pilladoll]

Wow! thanks for sharing this!

 

[cocolm720]

This is really great

 

[peteruk]

Thanks for the great share Zoogie

I'm totally out of touch with all things 3DS and need to do my nephew's n3ds tomorrow once his charger arrives (battery dead), so will be giving this a try

 

[chatmax]

Fantastic work. Thanks for sharing the knowledge

Hello, I update the latest version and follow the instructions. When I finish installing boot9strap and pressing the home button, it did not lunch luma3ds or shut down. I power it on and it look brick. Should I hold the power button for too long?

What does "It look brick" mean?

So in order to use frogminer we still need Steel diver?

@zoogie

Again, thank you for this

I did the install on a virgin system this morning for my nephew using the guide you linked to and everything went as expected and he's now running cfw / hbl

The only thing I had a very slight issue with was the Jap app, even though the guide tells you which options to select it was still a little awkward at times with things popping up and me not knowing the language haha

Great job once again, thanks

You're the man, @zoogie ! I wish you'd come out with this last week, it would have saved a friend of mine a couple bucks

Yes, but being a free game it's not a big deal

 

[ZeNiThZZ]

It works!! Thanks a lot!!!!

I wish Frogminer was day one. I really do.

I was never really happy with people having to buy a dsiware game since the beginning. These things sometimes take time though. I started looking in earnest around May when I discovered that you could export/import dsiware system titles from userland, and then became extra motivated when Smea's twlhax didn't pan out back in August. Shortly after that, I confirmed that flipnote jpn v0 was the ticket to freehax (I had looked at ugopwn before but didn't think to check old versions). Then about 3 weeks later the exploit was done and released.

Oh btw, I added a dumb little poll to the thread

Yeah, they do take time. Don't take my comment to heart, it was meant lightly . I wish I could participate in the poll, but I don't have an option I can pick

I mean.. I got a black screen after I install boot9strap. I followed the instruction, and it didn't work.

So the 3ds won't boot at all now? Did you install arm9loaderhax at one point?

What you're describing sounds like an a9lh brick -- where you have arm9loaderhax installed and you ran b9sTool.
There are a lot of safeguards and warnings about that so I'm confused how this could happen.

edit: were you following the guide in the first post or a video guide?

 

[shutterbug2000]

@zoogie

Shutterbug2000 - ugopwn exploit. brilliant stuff!

Thank you for that! It truly means a lot! c:

I'm glad to see this being used in this way. Never thought ugopwn would be used to install CFW onto a 3DS, yet here we are.

 

[linuxares]

@zoogie you brilliant bastard! Nice job!

No I didn't.

Also, the guide in the first post. But video guide as an example.

Can you boot into recovery mode and try to update? That should repair your firm if you can manage to do it (the fact you are already on 11.8 is unimportant).
Recovery Mode: Hold L+R+Up+A then power on while holding those buttons.
