I've never really liked funerals, whether it's a vulnerability in the 3DS boot chain or a member of my family.
Anyways I still remember back at the good ol' days, I was a Userland Peasant, until the guide
@Hyoretsu made was posted. Truth is, I started hacking my 3DS with Browserhax using
this guide. I didn't know video guides tended to brick (although I see no actual risk from Browserhax) so I followed it. I can't really remember on what FW I was on at that time.
The years passed, 11.1 was released adding
S T A B I L I T Y and patches to exploits. More time passed, and as it did, I started losing hope in some way to downgrade my 2DS. I found an app called
TikDevil which I didn't know that wasn't going to work without NAND R/W access. Since I was having problems with it, I was forced to join this site, because I had to ask questions. 11.2 came out, and I was unsure about updating because, ''Hey, a new exploit might come out''. Anyways, I was impatient and updated. Just as I thought, a new
exploit was released. I regretted updating to 11.2.
More time passes, I get a Sky3DS+ around January... at that same month,
SafeHax was released. It was implemented in the guide by
@Hyoretsu .
Anyways, I went straight to the process of installing A9LH. Truth is, I had a little trouble... Well, firstly you had this little issue:
That didn't stop me. Secondly and most dumbly, I didn't make the backup. OH yes, the backup. The one file that could save you from a brick, not there. So, I opened up the Browser to use the
2xrsa exploit. And it fails! I just couldn't load arm11.bin....
I pm'd
@Hyoretsu about the issue. He told me to use the more recent version of SafeA9LHInstaller. It worked! I was so happy to know my 2DS wasn't bricked! After that, I made a CTRTransfer to 9.2 then updated normally. I went directly to installing freeShop and FBI.
More time passes, eventually, SigHax is announced. It wasn't until months later
@derrek made the release. It was chaotic. People were installing the installer and most of them bricked. Then, B9S was released. I updated to it because I didn't want to miss Luma3DS updates.
Some time passes, I see this thread, and write this post.
Twas' a good life, Arm9LoaderHax!
