Hacking B9 Pre-Install Questions

[Skeet1983]

Hi guys, I just finished backing up my N3DS mSD and am about to start SysNAND backup. I want to do the B9 install, but am a little scared because I read in another thread about bricks and crashes. I have no access to hardmod system if I brick. You guys think I will be ok to proceed? Help appreciated

just go for it . Follow the steps as precise as you can. If you brick, don't worry. Just wait till NTRbootHac comes out (which nobody knows when it will be if it will ever be)
just patient and making sure everything is correct

No one has bricked going from a9lh to b9s or from stock to b9s.

Ok, thanks for the input everyone. Before I make the final push, will I still have access to the following:

- Luma
- JKSV for Pokemon save editing
- Freeshop and Freeshop CIAs
- CIA installed games

Thoughts appreciated

if it is questioned, then yes. if you are just mentioning it than yes

Oops, the main thing I am hoping I can still use with B9... Can I still use BootNTR for cheat plugins?

SysNAND backup completed. Am kinda nervous, but hope it will work ...

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I am trying to download secret_sector.bin file with Deluge. It says "seeding", but doesn't seem to be downloading... What can I do? I found file in my Download directory, it says file size is 512 bytes? Is that correct?

Also, I am beginning prep work for B9 install. Guide says to download latest luma, but that is v8.1 and was released an hour ago. Is that one ok for B9 install?

If you are still having problem, I just downloaded it and uploaded it here: forbidden

I don't think you're allowed to share that file here, hence why it's a torrent on 3ds.guide.

I completed B9 Prep work in section 1 of B9 guide... Ready to proceed, but nervous...
Safe to proceed? Also, once in B9. How do I update system firmware if I only have a B9 SysNAND? Is it safe to update SysNAND? Help GREATLY appreciated

If you have luma , you can safely update your sysnand

I successfully installed B9 last night and backed up SysNAND before install. Now that B9 is on my N3DS and is working, should I backup SysNAND post install? I am now on SysNAND System Firmware 11.4. Before B9 install, System Firmware was 11.2. Thoughts appreciated

I usually back up my NAND after I've installed a bunch of games or before and after updates. tickets r stored in the NAND which is y it's a good policy to back it up every few weeks/months, but I think there r ways around that. games without tickets will appear red in FBI I believe.

backup each time before doing some major things (updating etc.)
