Hacking Attempting Plailect Guide arm9loaderhax & Cakes and I'm stuck

[Zanoab]

So that is where my confusion is. When you say "CFW sysNAND", when I turn on my 3DS and I'm looking at what appears to be my sysNAND (my formatted original NAND with nothing on it) is the really the "CFW sysNAND"? (I think it's the terminology that is confusing me).

CFW means that all the patches like being able to pirate games or use homebrew cias is running. You can test it by installing the homebrew loader cia and seeing if you can start it in CFW sysNAND. If it doesn't show up or start, you probably missed a setting in Cakes or something is wrong.

If you setup A9LH, there is no way to boot sysNAND without a CFW. I assume you have the arm9loaderhax.bin from Cakes on your SD card. When it booted into sysNAND, you were already in Cakes. Then, you tried to launch Cakes from Cakes. You probably should not do that.

I'd suggest using AuReiNand instead if Cakes if you want to be able to easily boot into sysNAND and emuNAND.

I'll say this so far, the process has been fairly smooth. Check and re-check everything before you actually DO something. I'm hitting this one last little obstacle and I'll be done.

There are also some video tutorials that I would recommend watching before starting. The process is slightly different then the guide, but at least it will give you a visual reference to certain points and will hopefully help you feel more comfortable.

ok, so when I boot my 3DS I am looking at my sysNAND (9.2) but with Cakes loaded over/in it? I do not have FBI installed in that NAND and I'm clear on how to get it there?

I would use Plailect's guide; it's more up to date.

Yes, u could boot direct into Cakes CFW. U do have to inject FBI into Home and Safety App
