Homebrew ARM9Loader -- Technical Details and Discussion

[Shadowtrance]

I'm not sure. The process seems pretty streamlined, just very ambitious. The only hard part is dumping the OTP for regular users. The rest of the process seems to be as simple as getting some files which are obtainable without much confusion and compiling arm9loaderhax.

Yeah i see it the same way. Only piece of the puzzle missing for me to mess with it is the OTP...

Yea, but if your payload is wrong..remember, we still have no screen init..

You should check out the 1.0 NAND dump thread from awhile ago... they got screen init working under 1.0

Not what I meant. I meant arm9loaderhax screen init.

I forgot about that.. Well hopefully someone can get that up and running soon before anyone jumps the gun. I just want my OTP to be prepared honestly. @AHP_person said that he's writing me a tool to restore my NAND on 1.0 so when I have that, I'll get my stuff and wait.

By the way, 1.0E CIAs are being prepped now. Downloading 10.3.0-28E as a base.

Not much good if you brick the console to the point you can't boot anything. Hardmod > software.

Welp, I'm getting the same thing @Psi-hate is getting on my o3ds... launched sysUpdater from the home menu and after a few CIAs I get an exception... @MassExplosion213 do you know which ones we need to install manually? That way we can remove them from the pack and get most of the stuff going, then use something else to install the needed CIAs from there.

Just manually downgrade the apps in your decrypted NAND.

@AHP_person told me to use the sysupdater that deletes everything before installing the pack. Haven't used it myself yet.

I'm to familiar with this process, I know I'll need a CTRNAND XORpad (I'll be generating that soon) and I know I'm going to need to extract the contents from the CIAs, probably with Decrypt9... after that is where I'm not sure on what exactly to do

I have that one somewhere..

Try with sysupdater 0.4.1 then

Well that's what I was told works. @dark_samus3 can you use this please? I think it'd help me a lot to know whether or not it will work. https://mega.nz/#!uZdB1JgI!EkyMBFdcbr3Us48WtBN6wcqip8jK-eMTDsHhGWc8fZU

I said it was the one I used, I don't really advise it -0-

It surprisingly works better than the original one. Only errors out on home menu.

I know. I just have been using all the wrong sysupdaters recently tbh

Sorry, 3ds is being an ass so it'll be a bit before I can try it out... Can you tell me what exactly is different about this build though?

Deletes all titles before installing.

So basically it's just the old sysupdater then

Sorta.
