Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

Is it safe to upgrade from 11.2.0-35U on an O3DS to the current release without having my games removed or system bricked?

If you hold select while booting does it boot to Luma config? If yes, what Luma version does it say you have?

I put CFW on it a while ago with A9LH so the select menu is for AuReiNand v4.2.

You should update to boot9strap then: https://3ds.guide/a9lh-to-b9s

Cool, thanks! Did it and everything was fine. Another noob question...how do I install updates for games? I downloaded CIA patch 1.1.7 for SSB and installed it with devmenu but still can't play with save data.

Devmenu is quite outdated now and FBI is the cia installer everyone is using. You might as well do this guide to update/install the recommended Homebrew apps: https://3ds.guide/finalizing-setup
For updating games you have 3 options:
1. Download the updates normally from eShop or update if the game asks when launching it.
2. Use freeshop. A guide for setting it up is in the first post of this thread.
3. Download the update cia and install with FBI.

Hello everyone !
My 3ds is badly scratched even though I take care of it.
I purchased it less than 12 months ago, so I still can return it to warranty.
However I hacked it with Ntrboothax following 3ds.guide.
What can I do to remove any evidence that I hacked it, and then restore it back to normal when they give it back ?
Thanks in advance.

I don't think warranty will cover scratches. That's just normal wear and tear. Warranty would cover things like dead pixels or a button no longer working or it no longer turning on etc.

To make it hard to tell it is hacked you can remove boot.firm and any other CFW files from the SD card (make sure you've added boot.firm to CTR-NAND), and change the luma option so it says Ver instead of Sys. And uninstall all homebrew. You could uninstall CFW itself if you wanted but that could have unintended side effects. https://3ds.guide/uninstall-cfw

I'm back with another question (Sorry). On the Luma Boot Menu (hold select) I have "Autobot EmuNAND" and "Show NAND or user string in System Settings" marked. It still always says "Sys" in System Settings. Am I doing something wrong or am I just dumb?

Do you even have an emuNAND? If you don't, you'll never see "Emu" in System Settings.

Thank you for your reply!
But if I uninstall CFW, I can reinstall it after, right ?
And I don't really want to delete things from my SD, I'll just remove the SD card before giving it to them.
I am still going to try the warranty thing, maybe it's worth a try. Or maybe I should repair it myself if it doesn't work. Anyway I'll tell you about what's going on. Once again thanks !

If you have an ntrboot capable flashcart you can install it again, yep. Just don't uninstall CFW if you ever installed any individual system cias or used the Lazarus script because then your console could be bricked / not work properly

I recently installed boot9strap, and I am having errors installing CIAs through FBI, I keep getting errors. Can't get past - Finalizing Setup - Section IV - Installing CIAs on 3ds.guide.

I tried reformatting my sd card, also tried a different sd card and still fails.

What does the error say?

I have been trying to figure this out for some time now. I have a New 3DS XL. I followed the whole guide on 3ds.guide and have all the newest versions of the tools installed. With newer games I get the error message ARM11 core 1, prefetch about svcbreak. I've searched for that and other people get the same error but there never seems to be a way past it. I do not have a flash card. I was using WiiU USB helper to create a .CIA. Any ideas? Thanks.

What are some of the risks that I run when installing CFW / FreShop and such? I'd like to use homebrew and stuff but I don't want to lose anything.

What if you install the games with freeShop?

Tiny chance of being banned from online if you install homebrew and run it while connected to the internet.
