Reboot and try again. It doesn't always work the first time.

*sigh* Can someone compile it for me? I can't make heads or tails of how to do it and I don't trust myself to do it.

@FONZD can do it for you, he/she did the compiling for me

try to boot pasta mode from rxTools then going into hbl to launch it.

Done！ thank you guys. Now I think it is safe to update emunand using system setting.

Indeed. Enjoy Reinand, AuReiNand, or the new Cakes fork.

Updating in Cakes isn't safe, but I think updating in AuReiNand is (check first I'm not 100% sure) and I'm not sure on ReiNand

[dark_samus3]

calling all HARDMODDED users I need some testing done for a better arm9loaderhax installer, anyone interested in testing please join us at #Cakey on freenode

emuNAND is fine

halp how do i use the arm9 hax

 

[daxtsu]

Looks like there's some screen init code here (requires being put into a function): https://github.com/fox8091/arm9load...mmit/9499d13b6d8ae468de5403a69f847b765319ae1e

But as far as I know, the ARM11 isn't active during A9LH, so I guess we'd have to figure out how to "spin it up", right?

even updating emunand is not safe？

• Fixed A9LH boot detection
• Added a new "updated syaNAND" mode, which is enabled by the "/rei/updatedsysnand" flag. In this mode, sysNAND is booted by default using the 9.6-10.4 FIRM, L boots emuNAND with 9.0 FIRM (for arm9 exploits and such) and L+R boots emuNAND with the 9.6-10.4 FIRM.
• When sysNAND is booted on a A9LH setup, a patch (courtesy of delebile) is applied that makes updates skip writing to FIRM0 and FIRM1. This way, sysNAND can be updated without losing A9LH.

You can update sysnand doing that.

Sweet! I did it! Is it bad that I'm a little sad that my 2ds will never work without an sd card in it? I'm not a fan of change.

Think of it this way: If you have friends or family come over, take the SD out so it looks like it's bricked. Then they can't possibly update it or screw it up otherwise (physical damage being the exception of course).

Then they'll think he's an idiot lol.

He should be fine if he autoboots into emuNAND though, how can someone really screw his 2DS that bad?

You'd be surprised at how people can stumble upon things that are supposedly "idiot-proof" and then end up making it worse than when they originally found it.

I mean it's not like it'll never work again... you could always flash one of your original backups that doesn't have the hack. Or update unprotected.
