Homebrew Fastboot help

PKZeus · Dec 11, 2018

So I recently got a boot.firm change to analog mans ctprf plugin to load the cheat menu for ultrasun on 1.2 title update with the help of HollowedFear.in order to use cheats on 1.2 update I have to keep the analagman boot.firm and backup my old luma9.1 boot.firm on my laptop .but then another person suggested I can use fastboot to switch my boot.firms on 3ds itself, because i keep freezing when I go online on the modified luma for analogman(note that I am not trying to cheat online, I only battle online for competitive practice on ratings battles) And i just need someone to help me through teamview or anydesk to setup fastboot or whatever is best for my situation and build.
To get a better picture and idea of what I'm running this is what Hollowedfear did for me https://imgur.com/a/6CojRDM

... Your grammar needs some work.

***

I can't help you with the Pokemon ultraSuMoFramework plugin part nor with AnalogMan's supposed fork of Luma3DS, but to install and utilize fastboot3ds...

1. Download OpenFirmInstaller v0.0.8 and put it at:

smdc:/luma/payloads/OpenFirmInstaller.firm

2. Download fastboot3ds v1.1 and place it at:

smdc:/ofi/fastboot3ds.firm

3. Replace the boot file with the main branch Luma3DS v9.1:

smdc:/boot.firm

4. Insert the SD card into 3DS, turn it on, and hold (Start) button to access Luma3DS chainloader → OpenFirmInstaller, etc. to replace boot9strap with fastboot3ds.

5. When turning on the 3DS, hold the (HOME) button to access the fastboot3ds menu.

You have options of selecting up to six (6) *.firm payloads found anywhere on either the SD card or the internal SysNAND:

[+] Boot setup... → [ ] Setup [slot #]...

You can Change boot mode... → [✓] Set quiet boot if you don't want a splash screen, or with the [✓] Set normal boot, Change splash... → [✓] Use custom splash... for something other than the fastboot3ds splash.

Whatever variants of Luma3DS or other branches of custom firmware you use should work so long as they're *.firm files.

***

If you wish to remove fastboot3ds and return to using boot9strap, you'll need to use SafeB9SInstaller v0.0.7 along with the normal boot9strap-1.3.zip package:

smdc:/boot9strap/boot9strap.firm
smdc:/boot9strap/boot9strap.firm.sha

It's clear you don't know almost anything about what you are doing, so you are more likely to mess up your system the more priviledges you gain on it, so I highly suggest on just staying on b9s if you still haven't switched to fastboot, safer for newbies, fastboot is more for those who know what they are doing, as it's not as foolproof. If still on b9s, just download the latest Luma build from TurdPoo's link above, move the boot.firm to the root of your SD card, then move the Pokemon plugin to a folder with the same name as the version's high and low IDs (US="00040000001B5000" and UM="00040000001B5100"), then move that to the "plugin" folder at the root of your SD card. Afterwards, just load up NTR, then switch to the game and that's all. I don't get what you are having so much trouble with, since I'm pretty sure you've made a couple threads on just getting the cheats to work these past days/weeks...

Also, NTR plugins do NOT work online as a default, if you have the plugin cheats active, you can't connect online, it's not the fault of the Luma boot.firm, it's the plugin itself as they are made so that you can't cheat online. You CAN make the plugins yourself so they work online, but I doubt you will be able to with your level of knowledge, meaning your next best option is to get the Sharkive homebrew, load it up, select the game you want the cheats for and select "Download from db". Then simply load up the game (NO NTR, if you use NTR on top it can crash), open the Rosalina menu on Luma 9.1, select "Cheats" at the top and activate the cheats you want, they are pretty much the exact same ones as the plugin and let you go online with them to cheat to your heart's content! Until banned that is

Well I do I know how to load a boot.firm,use rosalina menu and sharkive but that doesnt work for 1.2 and there are not that many cheats for 1.2 on Ultrasun through the sharkive db, and you suggested to use the sharkive anyway because you think I want to "cheat online to my hearts content" which is the opposite of what I want to do in my post. I clearly put (note that I am not trying to cheat online, I only battle online for competitive practice on ratings battles), so I dont know why you ever suggested sharkive and ever since my chat in the flagbrew discord i have been already told that the Ntr plugin I have wont work online and I dont care for modding online anyway. I just figured switching to a different firm or my original firm would fix the freezing issue when I do go online. As for turdpoocharger I'm not sure why correct grammar is needed as you understood what I wrote and this is social media not english class, plus I would appreciate if you tell me what grammatical errors I made. I never asked help for the Analog fork or the Ultrasun framework, The only reason I mentioned that is for you guys to get a idea on what I'm setup on and why I'm having the issue(which is the plugin cheats freezing me when I go online) so all you had to do was help me insta fastboot which you did I see you wrote down a tut, or tell me the best of way of loading different firms upon boot up. Also ThoD what does splash mean?and where do I put the 2nd modded luma firm that has the plugin loader after i put back the luma9.1 to the sd card?

It's as hard to break (brick) your system with fastboot3DS as it is with boot9strap. We made sure there's no way for inexperienced users to do stuff they really shouldn't be doing. If by "mess up your system" you meant not understanding the configuration and setting it up in a way so that it won't work, yup, that's correct (does not equal a brick, as you just have to set it up correctly). In general it's enough to just read the quick start guide (won't even take 3 minutes of your time), though, to be able to set it up.

PKZeus · Dec 12, 2018

Ok but that still doesn't answer my questions in my reply

The Catboy · Dec 12, 2018

I don't think this is an issue related to Fastboot, but an issue related to whatever you did your setup. That being said, I have no idea what you are going on about because your grammar is just plain awful and really aren't explaining things very clearly.
It's worth noting that you've literally drawn the attention of one of the main Devs behind Fastboot, one of the testers for Fastboot, and a 3DS scene expert, and none of us seem to know what you are going on about.

TurdPooCharger · Dec 12, 2018

Cross posting his other thread here that might explain his situation a little better.

Cheat engine for UltraSun 1.2

E1ite007 · Dec 14, 2018

So..
First; your native language isn't english, am I right?
Second; I think I can partialy understand what is what you're asking for. You're trying to use fastboot3DS to have Luma3DS and AnalogMan's suppossed Luma fork… and yeah, I checked over AnalogMan's GitHub Page and there's no fork. The fork you're trying to use is Nanquitas one.
And as a lot of people said before me, you cannot use NTR plugins online unless they're programmed to do it (just like the Animal Crossing one, that is programmed to work online, but as far as I know, it has a limited usage).
And nope, you don't need a different Luma3DS version than the official one to use ultraSuMoFramework. Just follow the instructions on the thread I linked before, and it should work.

Ok what do you not understand from my whole reply? What part is awful grammar. I explained how I want to switch my boot.firms upon boot up and someone in flagbrew reccomended to use fastboot that's why I asked here how to use it or what else to use to switch boot.firms how to make it easier and faster. And I also proved Thod Wrong when he typed " It's clear you don't know almost anything about what you are doing " when I indeed do know how how to change the boot.firms, use luma and sharkive w rosalina menu. All I need to know is what's the best method if changing boot.firms quicker on 3ds rather using My laptop

Ok first of all get back real quick,I was born in California So English is my native language. I even typed " I never asked help for the Analog fork or the Ultrasun framework, The only reason I mentioned that is for you guys to get a idea on what I'm setup on and why I'm having the issue(which is the plugin cheats freezing me when I go online) so all you had to do was help me insta fastboot which you did I see you wrote down a tut, or tell me the best of way of loading different firms upon boot up" which is a full explanation in english. So your not making sense when you talk about my grammar and english. " Like what's so hard to understand about that explanation.
And as a lot of people said before me, you cannot use NTR plugins online unless they're programmed to do it (just like the Animal Crossing one, that is programmed to work online, but as far as I know, it has a limited usage). " I already said in my 2nd reply I'm not trying to mod online obviously there is a misunderstanding here or your not reading my reply. I'm trying to switch to my regular luma9.1 boot.firm on my 3ds in a faster and quicker way rather than changing it over and over on my laptop. Get it? Or should I Explain agian differently?

We just thought it best to leave you alone and let you figure out stuff on your own. If you could not make the setup you were hoping to achieve despite all the help from 3ds homebrew & hacking community, the problem is you. It's okay if you don't understand some things here and there. You on the other hand seem to be outright ignore certain facts or technical limitations, not follow directions, and show a general lack respect for others.

Well, then do whatever you want. If sometime you come with any kind of problem to GBATemp, asking for help, unless you learn to write in proper english (for Christ sake, I'm mexican and I feel that people understand me better than they do with you, a native american) I'll not even try to give you any kind of solution, because trying to help you is like trying to make business with a foreign deaf person.

Technical limitations meaning what? People saying I cant use the cheats online? I already repeated myself multiple times that I do not want to use cheats online. And "despite all the help" meaning what ThoD suggested to do earlier? "If still on b9s, just download the latest Luma build from TurdPoo's link above, move the boot.firm to the root of your SD card, then move the Pokemon plugin to a folder with the same name as the version's high and low IDs (US="00040000001B5000" and UM="00040000001B5100"), then move that to the "plugin" folder at the root of your SD card. Afterwards, just load up NTR, then switch to the game and that's all." He isnt paying attention to my original post, I'm not trying to use latest luma build. I already have 9.1 luma and my OG post was about switching boot.firms upon boot up or in the system rather than going on my laptop each time to switch back and fourth. People keep telling me to use a regular luma build and you cant use the cheats online. And that's not at all what I'm trying to do. I dont have their full attention.

Because the boot.firm I have rn is freezing me when I do go online on ultrasun and even in offline story mode at times. The Sharkive codes only have Few cheats which is not even close to what the menu has for 1.2

"they are pretty much the exact same ones as the plugin and let you go online with them to cheat to your heart's content! Until banned that is" They are not the same exact ones, the menu has way more cheats like walkthrough walls,Veiw IVS/EVs,Steal trainer mons,unlimited PP,Battle cheats, movement cheats,Etc. The rosalina menu with sharkive only has very few cheats for 1.2 and again, I DO NOT INTEND TO HACK ONLINE

Had you followed the instructions from post #2 about installing fastboot3DS in place of boot9strap, you should have seen its capability of launching different *.firm payloads. There's even the option to use customizable button combos that will allow you to choose which firm to start with when turning on the 3DS system.

I don't have a clue about the mod hacks and plugins stuff, so I have no comment about that.

The reason why most of us had difficulties reading your posts is because your writing has poor punctuation, and they tended to be run-on sentences mushing together separate issues (fastboot3ds, Luma3DS fork, and Pokemon ultraSuMoFramework plugin). This makes it hard for us to distinguish the who, what, why, where, when, and how of your messages. You can get away with breaking some rules about capitalization, oxford commas, apostrophes, minor misspellings, noun usage, etc. However, there's a breakdown in communication when these all add up.

The biggest gripe I had were your choice of nouns.

Nouns
Proper Nouns: PKZeus / pizza.
Pronouns: He / it.

Example sentences

PKZeus ate pizza.

vs

He ate it.

While the above are understood that the action of eating occurred, the latter sentence by itself tells the reader very little about who and what.

Your writing doesn't clearly establish distinctions or facts beforehand, and this leaves the reader having to infer those 6 question points. Only after reading ahead and backtracking would one finally know that:

You want to install fastboot3ds in order to launch a specific fork of Luma3DS while keeping the main branch of Luma3DS.
This in turn lets you use a certain Pokemon mod plugin.
This plugin is supposedly allows you to play online for battle ratings and experience.

I think the key issue is whether or not you and the others can agree or determine that the mod plugin you're looking for exists or not.

Your entire post and honestly all of your posts in this thread seem to lack any context to what issue(s) that you are asking us to help you with, nor are they connected to the functionality of Fastboot3DS. It seems like you have an issue related to a fork of Luma3DS or maybe a plugin, neither issue is related to Fastboot3DS. I say "it seems," because honestly, I can't tell what you are going on about. It's like parts your posts are half here and half somewhere else and you are expecting us to know something without giving us anything to work with. Additionally, your posts are almost unreadable and this could be solved by actually taking time to read over your posts before actually posting your reply. You need to work with us for us to work with you.
Quite honestly I don't think you have any idea what you are doing and should seriously take a moment to figure out what you want to do before playing with fire.

That's a rather rude thing to say to people wanting to help you. I didn't comment to be rude, I commented because I wanted to help someone with a possible Fastboot issue. This is another clear example of your posts making literally no sense. Why would you want to shut down people trying to help you?

PKZeus · Dec 23, 2018

Here is what I said in my 1st post "So I recently got a boot.firm change to analog mans ctprf plugin to load the cheat menu for ultrasun on 1.2 title update with the help of HollowedFear" The boot.firm change means I changed from the official luma9.1 Boot.firm to nanquitas boot.firm which is my mistake I shouldve typed that earlier, but the rest of my message I can understand clearly. That this guy needs a quicker way to change his boot.firms rather than going on his laptop to switch boot.firms, because he is using a different boot.firm that freezes him when he goes online(recently it freezes me playing me on story mode at times). I did share a picture of what boot.firm and plugin hollowedfear shared to me and how it all got set up.

Now as for "
I think the key issue is whether or not you and the others can agree or determine that the mod plugin you're looking for exists or not."

My answer to that is this Analogman usmo framework plugin works fine for the cheats I want it's just issues with freezing and I want a faster way of switching to my official luma9.1 boot.firm on 3ds rather than going on my laptop and changing boot.firm manually like that when I want to play without getting frozen regardless if I go online or not. Also for the noun issues I said "because i keep freezing when I go online on the modified luma for analogman(note that I am not trying to cheat online, I only battle online for competitive practice on ratings battles)" please read what's in the parenthesis , I said I'm not trying to cheat online therefore I'm just saying when I DO go online it freezes me but now it's both story and online. Is this what you were referring to for your noun issues or can you qoute some for me? Because I understand the post fine. Also on nanquita post
As I read over https://gbatemp.net/threads/ctrpluginframework-blank-plugin-now-with-action-replay.487729/page-6 that there. I see there are some crash and bug issues going on, so switching to my official boot.firm could fix this but I wont be able to use the plugin and that's fine. I'll just switch back when I want to mod offline. I just needed to know if fast boot is the option for that.

TurdPooCharger · Dec 23, 2018

Why not install and experiment with fastboot3ds for yourself?

I can do my best sales pitch...
I have Luma3DS v9.1 (SD card and NAND) for the first two slots that with splash screen turned off. This makes 3DS work much like having boot9strap. I have my slot 3 set to GodMode9 (NAND), and Rei-Six custom firmware on slot 4 for occasional reference checking.

For Rei-Six, I configured the button sequence to (R)-shoulder + (Up) D-pad + (Start) as an inside joke mirroring the Luma Rosalina menu combo.

I know my reply is late but I already followed your steps for fast boot and it works perfectly. I can now easily switch between nanaquita boot.firm and regular boot.firm. I just made a new folder called modified boot.firm for nanaquita
