I read the guide, i just confused a little. i'll try hard mode with my sysnand backup from OTP. Thanks!

Alright, I just made bricks like yours impossible for the future. Grab the new release v0.90 from here.

Hahaha, sure this will make the process a lot safer for new guys.

"We gave you that power, you abused it... so live with the consequences now" Hahahahahahaha best reason ever xD nice work, now is more safe for newbie.

Just another question, sorry to be soo newbie:
Can i use those:http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/floppy.jpg
As i read at the guide (https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-noob-friendly-nand-dumping-2ds-3ds-3ds-xl-n3ds-n3ds-xl.414498/)
It just need to be 4 cable connector right?
I don't want to make no more mistakes hahahahah

Edit: can i use a modified sata?

Do what Plailect says and use GM9 to confirm the SHA-256 of that. It is all in the guide. Also, you are not running the downgrade checker on an 10.7 NAND, or do you?

Its all good, managed to dump the CTRNAND and defrag it, re inject and there was no problem

Not to rub salt in but it was safe already. You didn't read it thoroughly and paid the price.

I finished installing a9lh and have luma3ds on sysnand and I need to create a final backup of my hacked sysnand but everytime I try opening OTPHelper it keeps rebooting the homebrew launcher and idk what t o do so that it can work and let me backup my sysnand

OTPHelper and tools like Decrypt9/EmuNAND9 won't work on any firmware over 9.2 via homebrew launcher. You can use the arm9 payload (.bin) and chainload it with luma, similar to the other apps Plailect's guide says (hourglass9 for example).

Edit: Just as clarification, even with a9lh you can't run those tools from homebrew launcher

Seconding that. Also, once A9LH is installed, better use either HourGlass9 or Decrypt9 to do backups.

I downgraded MSET does it matter?

I'm following this: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-4-(2.1.0-Downgrade) and I get to the part where I use OTPHelper to do the 'One Click Setup' and I get a failure at the 'Cloning EmuNAND to SysNAND. Size (MB): 943', it just says 'NAND clone to SysNAND failed!' at 49%. This also happens if I try to do a sysNAND restore, it stops at 49% for about 45 seconds or so then fails with: 'SysNAND write failure'. If I don't eject the SD card and put it back in it'll fail immediately after validation, but will go to 49% every time.

I've tried several different SD cards as well as several different backups to try restoring, all have the same behavior.

Anyone have any ideas? I can still use OTPHelper as it is not frozen, but I do think the rebooting would be wise here.

This doesn't look good, but I think you already know. This is not an issue with your SD card, it is one with the NAND memory. The reason you don't get the same error on a EmuNAND -> SysNAND clone is simply that I forgot to put the error message in there.

'SysNAND write failures' basically only happen if there is something broken with your NANDs memory chip. If that's the case, that error was not introduced by any software you used, it was most likely there from the start, just not affecting anything important. If that helps - the issue you've got here would have caused a failure sooner or later, even without you doing any modifications. Doing this now only accellerated the process.

I do hope someone on here can help you and I do hope I am wrong, but for now I'd say not even a simple hardmod could fix this. You'd need to replace the NAND flash memory (which is not impossible) or try to return that device.

Quick question, I haven't used this since initially setting up A9LH (thanks btw, this made everything much easier for me) and I see that the latest release removed the 2.1 unbricker feature and now has a "One Click Setup"

Does this mean that if the N3DS is detected, the "One Click Setup" will also take care of this?

Yes

hey everyone, I am getting TMD not found or corrupt on 0004009B00010602, I've trying compare hash using godmode9 and it's indeed mismatch. I've tried restoring emunand then downgrade multiple times but still it's corrupt. And I see that when I'm using plaisysupdater it only check 0004009B00010602 on nand but didn't actually downgrade it, is it normal? What can I do?
Thank You

That title is some certificate, so it at least looks important... better not clone this to SysNAND with that check failing. Other than that, no idea, I hope someone else can help you.

Guys, could someone, please, give me a quick tip on building arm9.bin for otphelper?
I'm not very used to make, makefile, etc, but I could see an "option" for OLDSPIDER.

Is this what I'm looking for? How do I set make to use this?

Thanks!

EDIT:
Ok! I just realised that the "arm9.bin" is just the regular OTPHelper.bin renamed, right?
So, the 2xrsa arm11.bin executes the arm9.bin file. Is that it?

You don't need to 2rxsa version of OTPHelper anymore if you're using the right guide (you're using SafeA9lhInstaller now). Also, it is included in the release archive. To build it, you 'make release' or 'make oldspider'.

And no, it is not identical.
