How to Update your 3DS/2DS to 9.0 or 9.2
If you want to boot rxTools as soon as you turn on your 3DS, then you need to set-up Menuhax; and to use Menuhax, you need to be on 9.0 - 9.2 firmware.
Warning: This can brick your 3DS if done incorrectly! Be sure that you follow the instructions carefully!
Requirements:
- BigBlueMenu installed in sysnand (Part 4a if you don't have Gateway or Ninjhax) OR any other cia installer on Sysnand.
- A rxTools 3.0 nightly (preferably the one linked in Part 2)
Let's get started.
- Click HERE
- Click the CIA Format DLC's, Themes & Updates [Archive] result
- Click View Full Version : CIA Format DLC's, Themes & Updates at the top of the page
- Find the thread titled [MEGA] [CIA/BIN] MSET 4.X & 6.X backups, Browser backups, Update packs (All Regions)
- Scroll down to the section titled Updates
- Download either the 9.2 modified update pack for your region, or a 9.0 or 9.2 Full Update Pack for you region
- Once downloaded, open the archive and find the "updates" folder; place it on your SD card. There should be many cia files in that folder.
- Example: SD:/updates/0004013000008003.cia
- Download Sysupdater
- Open the archive and put sysUpdater.cia on your SD card
- Insert your SD card in your 3DS
- Hold L while launching rxTools to get into the rxTools menu. If using rxTools 2.5.2, hold R instead.
- Press DPAD RIGHT until you highlight ADVANCED OPTIONS, then press A. Skip this step if using rxTools 2.5.2
- Go down to DEVMODE or PASTA MODE and press A
- After a few seconds, you should now be in sysnand; firmware spoofing is disabled but cias can still be launched in this mode.
- Launch you CIA installer
- Install sysUpdater.cia (Destination: SD if using FBI)
- Once installed, press HOME to see sysUpdater wrapped as a gift; unwrap it.
- Launch sysUpdater
- sysUpdater will ask you if you are sure you want to go ahead with the update; choose to accept it.
- It will also tell you that you shouldn't be in Gateway mode, or have firmware spoofing. Do not worry about this, DEVMODE / PASTA MODE has no firmware spoofing, so sysUpdater will work as intended. Just be absolutely sure you are in DEVMODE / PASTA MODE (line 13), not RXMODE SYSNAND!
- Wait for sysUpdater to finish. When it is done, your 3DS will reboot into 9.0 or 9.2 firmware! You can now follow the steps to use Menuhax if you'd like.
