Hacking A9LH Guide Update - Discussion

[Oshae93]

Quick question. So i successfully installed a9lh but when i try to open a game ( Majora's Mask) It tells me i need to update my system. Do i go about updating my system the normal way through the settings/system update? Or will this brick my 3ds? It says im currently running 9.2.0-20U after i finished installing everything btw

If you follow the guide to the end, you should have system updated to 11.0.33; majora's mask should update you to 9.5.0 if you update with that. Either way you won't break anything

after you're done with everything in the guide, you can safely update your sysnand through system settings

yes still on 4.5 with gateway

I went back and reread step 1 on pt 3 and i guess i assumed my system was already updated since i was on step 3 before, but once i update do i need to follow step 3's steps over? Or am i good to go?

Edit: Nevermind i saw clyde's response as well

I installed A9HL successfully from my 4.4 3DS but I encountered some problems that hopefully could be fixed. They are small but pretty annoying.

- When I am in sysnand, there are some black icons on my homescreen that can't be deleted. Previously when I used my Gateway in sysnand I never saw them. Even when I remove my SD card they are still there. It seems like they are on the nand self. How can I remove them?

- Browser exploids or software running trough the browser like Gateway or Decrypt9 won't work anymore. Seems logic because a9hl uses luma cfw when turning on. Is there a way to launch just de sysnand without patches or anything, just a the regular sysnand so I can use them again?

- I already found a payload to let my gateway card work with A9hl (V2). Is there a list of all a9hl loader payloads and can I make my own (example hold down for hombrew launcher, down for a custom function like running a .3dx)

I hope someone can help with the black icons in sysnand. They are so ugly.

I don't know the exact cause but they would disappear if you update your sysnand to 9.0 or above. though with a9lh this doesn't really matter as much. also consider moving to sysnand-only if Gateway gets FIRM partition protection.

browser exploits are unnecessary. just run everything though a9lh. much like you seemed to notice already next....

mostly d0k3's tools (Decrypt9WIP, GodMode9, Hourglass9....)

I noticed i have 2 FBI apps on my 3ds. 1 from health and safety and the other is a standalone. Do i need to keep both? If not should i just delete the standalone one?

you should re-inject H&S, or delete it from NAND and update. the standalone one is the better one to keep.

New to the 3ds scene but could you direct me to somewhere that will help me understand how to re-inject the H&S app

what version of FBI do you have? if it's 2.x, you could go to "Titles", then find "FBI" with a red name and delete it. then go update.

Just saw this part of the guide: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Updating-arm9loaderhax
Is this step optional or should i do it?

depends when you installed a9lh. there's no major benefits yet to going to v2 if you have v1.

V. 2.4.2 I went to titles but it's labeled as Health and Safety so i should just delete that right? Then update.

try opening the "injected" one first. if it's H&S then no reason to delete it, otherwise do that.

Good call it is. Can i change the icon back to H&S?

if you really want, you could delete it anyway, reboot, then update.

This new guide seems more confusing.
What was wrong with the old one?
also where the page where it tell me how to setup emunand in this guide?

K i deleted it but where exactly do i update?

system settings -> other settings -> system update

it's not that confusing. it probably does on the surface, but it's overall much easier + safer + faster.

emunand/rednand is no longer used for any part of the guide, instead everything happens entirely on sysnand (which is possible due to the new CTRNAND-based method).

O ok thought it was just a update for the app. That was simple enough. Thanks for the quick responses
