More nice progress being made. Any news on arm9 hooks?

Not that I am aware of. But I can quickly check it.

Hoping for an Uncart fork

Thanks. Will be nice when it's not necessary to switch to old firm for full access on current firmware, that's probably the last main thing still missing.

Guys what page of this thread is the bootloader in?

 

[Yudowat]

Right now with a9lh we can

• Use a BootCtr9 to load CFW on 10.6 sysnand
  
• Boot CakeFW
• Boot AuReiNand
• Install a beta version of Decrypt9WIP on boot
  • or try this miniD9 modded by @Shadowtrance
• Use @dark_samus3 a9lh updater to update to the latest commit [screen init].
  • if using bootctr set boot key to [KEY_A] because of the nature of the program.

My custom AuReiNand boot image. (splash.bin on this post)

114, but here is the post.

Thanks!

EDIT: The bootloader seems to turn off instantly and not do anything.. any ideas?

 

[johnnydommer]

If anyone is trying to install the update but cant because the 3ds turns off immediately or it just shows a black screen for a half a second (launching new compiled arm9loaderhax.3dsx) assuming you are using aureinand, hold L when booting. This will go into sysnand, then launch HBL whatever way and launch a compiled arm9loaderhax.3dsx from darksamus's github. This worked for me.

I've done it myself from emunand it works fine. Been in IRC with dark_samus.

for some reason, using the modified decrypt9WIP i can't dump partitions of sysnand, is it normal?

Yes. Only full NAND dumps at the moment.

Edit : ninja'd

Yes. Only full NAND dumps at the moment.

there is a way to extract a single partitions from a nand dump in a not to hard and complicated way?

 

[GinkREAL]

Has anyone successfully tried to run uncart with this?

How about launching D9 via HBL in your 9.0/9.2 NAND (emuNAND for me, as I swapped) ?

Got a backup ? Or create a new one.

is just that i don't want to, i want to know a way (if is possible) to extract partitions from a full nand backup.

p.s. i have the ctrnand xorpad from the OTP guide.

 

[GinkREAL]

How do quotes work

Yes I want to dump gamecard. Btw does a9lh display a "failed" on the lower screen?

 

[mrmonotone]

I am using a N3DS on firmware 9.0. After I ran the installer I got a black screen. I now can not boot sysnand but can boot emunand. Has anyone experienced this?
