okay

Fusee-Gelee is the name of the exploit used to get cfw and launch payloads

fusee-primary and Fusee-secondary are atmosphere payload/cfw, which the fusee-gelee exploit was originally designed for

reinx is another payload/cfw

Yes, if you used all the files from the latest release (0.8.4) if you check system version it should say something like 7.0 (AMS0.8.4)

my version still says 7.0.1 :/

my version still says 7.0.1 :/

Okay try opening the album and tell me if it opens the album or the hbmenu?

it opens the album

 

[masagrator]

fusee-primary is a payload to inject to RCM. Or "was" before 0.8.4. 0.8.4 brings "sept" (sept/payload.bin), which is going first, then it boots to fusee-primary, and then to fusee-secondary.

You need to put all files to sdcard.

 

[AlabasterPenguins]

I reloaded the fusee_primary.bin then it showed up with 7.0.1 (AMS0.8.4)

but the album just opens the album and not the homebrew menu

Use Hekate (if it lets you or the reinx toolkit)

so instead of the fusee bin use the hekate?

Yep, enable autorcm if you haven't already from the tools option in hekate

If the hekate backup doesn't work, let me know

Download this and place it at the root of your SD card
hbmenu
download this and place it in your atmosphere folder
hbloader

From there you should be able to boot into the homebrew menu...

After that it's a matter of getting the apps, but try that first to see if it works

it brought me to a menu where it said "to reload payload [-]" and "to exit [L]"
but whatever I did it didn't do anything

Was this before or after the backup?

after, though I couldn't do the whole gpp as it was too big
and before bringing me to that menu, I was able to go to the album and it brought up the homebrew menu
