Homebrew A9HL Help

[Jacklack3]

So im trying to get A9HL and before i get it i need to ask some questions.

In the guide it says to install cakesFW, it says its to get the OTP?

Cant i just use emunand for this step?

And another thing,

after i get A9HL how would i transfer my EmuNAND to cakesFW

and should i use AuiReiNAND? If so how would i do the stuff i asked above?

You need Cake (or AuReiNAND) for booting on emuNAND.

Cake is more for advanced user, AuReiNAND user friendly.

Uhhhh, i know...

Okay so then replace CakesFW with AuReiNAND.

 

[mariogamer]

Not need to replace,you can put both (and more) CFW in your SD card

Oh.......

But how do i transport my emunand to the other CFW?

All CFWs share the same emuNAND. All you need to do is delete the Cakes file/folders and use the AuReiNAND ones instead.

I honestly don't see the need for a question, the guide tells you exactly what to do and you just do it.
The final step branches off between auReiNand and CakesFW, you can choose from there.

On another note, don't just attempt A9LH setup just for the hell of it. Do it if you truly know what it is and if you need it. Menuhax + CFW is for you if you don't know anything about A9LH's.

So i would get my emunand (i have RxTools yea i know dont judge me ) and just out that in the correct folder?

Read this.

By reading the guide it doesn't look easy and/or short.

I will wait till its more simpler.

It won't be simpler.... You said that you have a rxtools emunand right? So just use it to follow the guide from step 4 which is getting your unique otp.

Honestly seeing his knowledge of the 3ds homebrew scene i wouldn't suggest to attempt that guide.
Ask some friend who is more into this things, or really a lot of homebrew, cfw and stuffs before even thinking attempting that

Okay so...
Back up emunand
Downgrade emunand
get otp
restore emunand
install a9hl using otp and program on sysnand
done?

Actually you're right, if you haven't yet started the process then I recommend that you won't start it unless you have a little bit more knowledge in this scene.

Well i live in the middle of nowhere and my friends don't even own a 3ds.

You're not the only one... I would recommend to read this post before you continue with the process.

I know that.

I did install a emunand so i should know what it is.

Sysnand = The systems core memory containing all the shit it needs.
Emunand = Like sysnand buy on your 3ds.

TBF the guide could be simpler many of the steps involve backtracking on itself and some steps are not really needed, Like using Tinyformat to reset Emunand twice.

Also in the setting up CFW guide it takes about 10+ steps to install CakesFW because you have to make it disable signature checks in config etc.
Aurei takes literally 2 steps 1 step is copying the files over the other is running it.

I ran the guide and setting up A9LH on an Old3DS took me longer than it did on a N3DS that i had ihaveamac run me though. 4hours+ on a fresh Emunand O3DS vs 1hour 50min (with waiting for him) on a N3DS.

The guide can cut steps and save time with no risk.
Also if he pre-packed all the homebrew you need instead of putting links in each step that would save a bunch of time also

I mean that the process will still remain the same and what you mentioned doesn't really make the installation complicated, just much longer. Another thing that you mentioned about the fact that he puts links in every step. That's because he made the guide so everyone can join from the state they are currently in.

uhh... You have to format twice with tinyformat to get rid of any fragmentation of emuNAND. You are not formatting it twice for no reason, y'know. Downgrading emuNAND to 2.1 without double formatting causes more errors and sysUpdater might fail, forcing you to reinject your emuNAND backup over and over again...
