Gaming 3ds system update 5.1.0-11 tonight

[Jiehfeng]

I had to update cause they didn't let me finish downloading harmoknight.

Just to clarify:
The update auto-downloads if wifi is on while in sleep mode, it also installs in some cases BUT it won't activate and replace your current firmware until you've pressed A and confirmed it.

Ahh, that's why.

there was no Press A to proceed, you are greeted by the message, your system was successfully updated, that's it
there where on sleep mode for almost 18 hours

Whether the update is even downloaded or not and/or how far it gets depends on your 3DS settings.

I'd make a thread about it, but I don't have a 3DS so I'm not sure exactly which settings affect which steps. I just know that turning all *pass and download and wifi stuff off makes it unable to update automatically.

That has never happened to me or anyone besides you from what I've seen. Last time the update installed in sleepmode for me, as soon as I opened the 3DS and hit A it was ready in an instant because it had already installed it in the background. However if you don't hit A you're still on the same firmware but with the "a new update" message appearing at random when turning it on/off or when starting new software. So pressing B stops it from applying the new firmware even if it's already installed, I used to do that with my regular 3DS.

Heh, that's Nintendo's line of thought.

I can put my XL to the test, I have everything enabled on it but I'm still not on 5.1.0-11. I'll leave it in sleepmode and see what happens.

I have a EU 3DS, bought from the UK (which doesn't matter) and my region is set to UK because I get eShop refills from Wizerzak.
The message you saw was the confirmation message and it can be bypassed. The firmware is already installed at that point but not enabled until you press A.

yes i understand that, but what i am saying is that did not happen
the consoles had obviously reset themselves after applying

there was no Press B
just a
"System Update Completed Successfully, Press A to Continue" no Press B Option

OK then I'll leave mine in sleepmode for a few hours.
Maybe it glitched on your part, this firmware is supposed to fix the install errors people got with the previous one after all so it's basically the exact same update. (or maybe that has something to do with it? The fact that it doesn't bring any new features. Confirming the last update maybe is enough for them to allow themselves to install something "identical" without asking for your permission again?)

You can still use streetpass safely if you delete all 3 connection settings and stay away from att* wifi hotspots. (local multi-player can update you too iirc)

*don't know the equivalent of att in uk.

I haven't had any forced update this night, and my 3DS is in sleep mode for at least 2 days now.

Even if I was on 5.0.0-11, it actually asked me if I would update.

possibly, as it doesnt appear to block flashcards , but more need testing to confirm that, maybe any it confirms that had an error are automatic or something, tho i did read only NATIVE_FIRM and CVer were updated, no other titles were updated.so means was nothing major apart from a firmware tweak and a number increase

yes but it appears to be a new thing since 5.0.0-11
as my ones had always asked before this update

oh its doesnt matter, i update these 2 anyway, they cant update the other 3 i have ;D

me too... i put some demos to download in sleep mode last night, and today they hadnt downladed a bit and i had a notification that i need to download a new update to finish downloading... i even cancelled it and then installed it manually...

 

[Eerpow]

BTW my old 3DS that I'm keeping on 4.3 I just add/remove a letter from the SSID in the settings whenever I need too. It's pretty handy even if you'll likely just use the wifi switch most of the time.'

(local multi-player can update you too iirc)

Yes. Luigi's Mansion 2 comes with 4.5 and updating is required for download play.

Maybe I worded that wrongly, but I was on 5.0.0-11.

 

[Osha]

For all it's worth, this morning, my 3DS asked me if I wanted to update, too. And it had downloaded the update already, without installing it.
