I switched to OOThax and it worked, DONT use soundhax. There's a high chance you're gonna get triggered like I did.
In fact, it might be good to use it to install better ones

Soundhax works for some and for others it doesn't. After you install a9lh, you'll install the Homebrew Launcher cia as entrypoint.

Try to switch to another entrypoint.

The only other entrypoint I have is steelhax, which also isn't working.

I guess I'll try switching SD cards, maybe it doesn't like my 64GB one.

I'm perfectly aware, seeing as this is the 2nd DS I've a9lh'd today xd

I got my 2ds up last night at 3 am but fucking kept hanging off of soundhax all night so I had to give up for the n3ds

It never fails me. Tried at least 20 times of continually install otpless to my hardmodded N3DS without any issue lol it's fun

Fresh format only prevents bricks from 10.4 to 9.2.

Yeah, but some time it can brick randomly. No one know why, not even the devs.

No one knows. That's why even AuroraWright recommended not to use it.

So what we got so far (OP Should add all these things to the main post, many questions are being repeated)

UPDATED GUIDE (Thanks to Hyoretsu)

O3DS/2DS v11.2.0-35U with soundhax as entrypoint: https://mega.nz/#!25d2XKCK!nwp7NIdMmYZduFhydSaZsH9zGy2a6DlP71SqXTdXCYE
N3DS v11.2.0-35U with soundax as entrypoint: https://mega.nz/#!j91g2CxI!YrxPgicql_vQ_SK4h5f8KhFUmXoKE4NcpKuVgswBv_k

Here are the instructions:

Requirements: uTorrent or Deluge.

WARNING: If you have a 3DS from a region other than USA, go to the bottom of this post first.

1. Go to the link above that contains the ZIP for your device.
2. Go to this link and download the SafeA9LHInstaller 7z. We'll get to it later.
3. Go to this link (Note: it's a torrent magnet link, you'll need a torrent client to open it), download the file for your region and extract the zip.
4. Extract the Safehax ZIP you downloaded to your microSD root.
5. Get the 2.1.0 ctrtransfer files and put them in your files9 folder in your microSD root.
6. Put your microSD in your console.
7. Open Nintendo 3DS Sound, press DOWN (d-pad) two times and press A two times.
8. Homebrew will boot. Scroll down and launch Safehax.
9. Decrypt9WIP will launch. Choose "SysNAND Options", "CTRNAND tranfer...", "Auto CTRNAND Transfer". Press LEFT, UP, RIGHT, UP and A. Press A twice (one to select the zip file and the other to create a backup).
10. Press B and SELECT.
11. Now you can delete the 2.1.0 ctrtransfer files from your files9 folder.
12. Extract the SafeA9LHInstaller 7z and copy the "arm9.bin" to your microSD root.
13. Open the folder: "Nintendo 3DS/(32 Character ID)/(32 Character ID)/extdata/00000000" and delete the folder "0000008f".
14. Put the microSD in your console and press START.
15. Open your browser, do the initial setup, click URL and go to "http://dukesrg.github.io/2xrsa.html?arm11.bin".
16. It'll open a black screen with a few things written on it. Press SELECT, wait a few seconds and press any button to shutdown your console.
17. Power it on. The Luma3DS config screen will show. Press A at each one of the options (from "Autoboot SysNAND" to "Patch SVC/service/archive/ARM9 access). If you're on N3DS, also, Press A thrice at "New 3DS CPU". Press START and power off your console.
18. Power it on again. Exactly after you press the POWER button, hold START. It'll boot Houglass9.
19. Select "SysNAND Backup/Restore...", "SysNAND Restore (keep a9lh)". Now, press LEFT, UP, RIGHT, UP and A. Press A. After it successfully restores your 11.2 backup, just reboot your console.
20. Put your microSD into your PC and backup the "otp.bin" inside your "a9lh" folder.
21. Now you can delete the "3ds" (if you don't want Homebrew), "a9lh", "files9", "Themes" folders and the "arm9.bin", "arm11.bin", "SafeA9LHInstaller.dat" and "soundhax-usa-o3ds.m4a" (on O3DSes, on N3DSes it's "soundhax-usa-n3ds.m4a") files. Also delete "boot.3dsx" if you don't want homebrew.

If you have a 3DS from other region than U, follow these steps.
1. Go to http://soundhax.com/ and select the right config for region and device.
2. Instead of going to "Nintendo 3DS/(32 Character ID)/(32 Character ID)/extdata/00000000" and deleting the "0000008f" folder, delete "00000098" if yours is EUR, "00000082" if yours is JPN and "000000A9" if yours is KOR.

It can still bug, but I'm adding steps to install steelhax if it doesn't.

jacob1223 · Jan 3, 2017

but soundhax does gives problems

Makore · Jan 3, 2017

I have problems with steelhax. When I want to run the exploit I get black screen

SD card corruption I know is one of them. There is probably also issues when the code is ran on memory, very small brick ratio though and the guide had you backup so that one can recover.

Also, the current method can cause bricks as well. Downgrading to 2.1 can fail, etc..

Even steelhax doesn't work
