Hacking (4.x only) CIA CFW Complete Guide

[metroid maniac]

Yes.
As said before, make sure that your console actually connects to your router, and try disable built-in firewall on router.
Otherwise, connect PC and Nintendo to an hotspot created by your smartphone, I resolved this way

I disabled the router's firewall and that didn't work, I used my phone and that didn't work.

You have to continue trying if at the first attempt it doesn't work, it took me 5-6 times to send the command before works correctly

I've tried it dozens of times and I can't get it to work.

Did you try opening the web browser as soon as the CFW boots? (when you hold L to get into it)

No, but I'll try. What am I looking for?
My CFW reads "Internet" in the top left corner when I launch it, by the way.

Are you launching the CFW with L button pressed, right?

Are you launching the CFW with L button pressed, right?

Yes. The CFW becomes a lot more prone to crashing if I do that.

I've gotten everything set up, and even launched the cfw successfully my first time around, but ctrclient refuses to work. I have my 3ds set to a static ip of 192.168.0.150, which I use with ctrclient and I get the response "ctrclient: failed to connect"

So I tried using 192.168.000.150 since that is what the 3ds changes it to. Then I get the response "getaddrinfo: 11001, N"

I've re-set my router, re-set my internet connection on the 3ds, launched the cfw again, and nothing works. It quite simply will not let me install devmenu.

You need to use 192.168.0.150, not 192.168.000.150

We've said it many times in this thread. You have to open the browser as soon as the CFW starts. If it loads a page, then everything will work fine.
If the system freezes, there's an issue with your connection and it won't work.

When I tried, no page would load and it didn't freeze. It would just stay endlessly refreshing.

Not true.

I was newer able to launch the browser or any other application while in CFW started with L pressed (system freezes if I try), but I successfully installed the Dev Menu on two different 3DS after several failed attempts.

IMHO it helps testing the internet connection in sysnand before starting the process and monitoring the connection to the router with Wireless Network Watcher before using ctrtool. I prefer not to use fixed IP because if the 3DS gets the IP, you know network is correctly working, so you can avoid to blindly launch ctrtool.

 

[metroid maniac]

When I boot the CFW, I'm running an emunand, right? Is it safe to update the emunand without it affecting my real nand? Is it possible I'll have more luck with ctrtool if I update the emunand firmware?

 

[Subtle Demise]

You can't update this emunand, no keyY suppor, among other things.

The browser does work. I tried a google search and the results came up instantly, so I know the internet connection on the 3ds is good.

When you boot the CFW holding L?

It seems some resource files are missing

For some reason, after formatting, my 2gb sd has shrinked to 852 mb and now I can't restore the nand backup with hex workshop...

If it's like Gateway's emuNAND, that is because when creating emuNAND, the system partitions the card off into two partitions. You reformatted the non NAND partition. You need some software to select and delete the other partition and merge them back together if you want the full 2gb to work with.
