why did you need to use twl fix? And did you use system update as its said to for reinstalling the twl apps the program deletes.

not sure what twl apps were deleted, so updating might work. if you mean stuff you installed, just reinstall them. the twl nand is like 150MBs only, so it couldn't be that many things.

Did you have any problems with DS(i) mode? If not there wasn't a reason for starting TWLFix.

Part of TWLFix is running the official updater afterwards to restore the deleted titles. That is the purpose of TWLFix: Remove the TWL titles to make the updater do a clean reinstallation. Without running the upate you will just get an error message each time trying to start DS(i) software.

As long as you Luma3DS is latest version (currently v10.2.1) there is no problem in running an update like on an unmodified console. Luma3DS takes care that B9S doesn't get overwritten.

Good luck and have fun!

Out of curiosity, which modules does TWLFix_CFW delete, and are they still downloadable and installable without using System Update? There used to be a tool to download the latest modules for the 3DS in .cia format iirc.

(Also does uninstalling TWlight Menu++ delete any system modules for TWL_firm?)

As for the download question: The TWL titles are Nintendo copyrighted content and were previously shared with magnet links forcing the user to use Torrent. Having a 3DS legally download it from CDN is a better idea.
I wouldn't want to resort to Torrent when there is an easier option. You should be able to dump your TWL titles as legit(!) CIA files with GodMode9 if you want an offline option for future proofing (I don't expect CDN go down soon).

The tool I'm thinking of did actually download from CDN. It might be that CDN security has been tightened since then. I'll see if I can find out what it was called. iirc it is/was popular for making frankenfirms, but limited in that it could only get modules still on CDN (which is pretty much just the latest versions).

No idea about this. Also no idea if the security demands tickets for system titles like for games. I think the 3DS updater will even reinstall tickets if missing for system titles (my test console is still not reassembled and I don't know if it will ever turn on again – limits my testing abilities at the moment)

3DNUS. I've just tested it and it still works perfectly.
