im confused about the term they are using "RedNAND"??
does the term RedNAND same as EmuNAND?
RedNAND is homebrew implementation of Emulated NAND not related to Gateway's version.
EmuNAND is actually a shorter way of saying GW EmuNAND as a lot of people refer to Gateway's as EmuNAND.

they are different but they do the same thing, which is to provide an Emulated NAND.

What do you mean by homebrew version of the nand? And most people still call their redNAND "emunand" GW or not.

I fixed my post, Home Implementation is a better fit. also, it is confusing that RedNAND users would use EmuNAND as a term along with Gateway's EmuNAND users as that makes it hard to find out what type of Emulated NAND they have unless you ask.

Still confused as to what you mean sorry. Do you mean that you can only create a redNAND through the use of a homebrew application?
Imo, saying you have emuNAND is a general term used to indicate you have a form of emuNAND whether that be redNAND or GW emuNAND. And many times it doesn't matter as they're very similar in what they do. In fact there isn't anything other than their sizes that make them any different from one another.

So just to be sure: Is it perfectly safe to do Plailects guide on a N3DS using my existing GW emuNAND??

I'd skip Part 3 of the Guide (Setting up CFW) and start with Part 4. My N3DS is on sysNAND 9.2.0.

This is the best guide. I had read nothing about 3ds hacking before I bought it, except informing myself if I had to avoid a specific firmware. I was basically as green as you could be. After I got my 3ds, I immediately started to follow that guide and whilst I didn't really know what he was talking about I managed to complete it without bricking anything. Double and triple check everything if necessary and, don't question what's written in the guide, accept it as truth and, you'll be fine. A9LH risks are overrated.

guys pls help me
As I was downgrading emunand to 2.2 in the middle of the process is says:
0004013800000002 (NFIRM): v.00000 > v.03553 FAIL
You should be able to use recovery to fix...

Note: I have installed the patched agb_firm but i cannot find the original one

Yes. RedNAND is a type of emuNAND. Unless you have a n3ds with a 1.8 gb. nand, don't worry about it.

RedNAND is homebrew implementation of Emulated NAND not related to Gateway's version.
EmuNAND is actually a shorter way of saying GW EmuNAND as a lot of people refer to Gateway's as EmuNAND.

they are different but they do the same thing, which is to provide an Emulated NAND.

So if I do this on an old 3DS where I already have a GW EmuNAND set, say that I created for rxTools and in the end of the process, on a step where we copy EmuNAND to SysNAND and then install a9lh, I should have no problem?

Edit: Sorry, missed geheim's post, anyway, basically same question.

Were you following Plailect's guide? If so there is a troubleshoot page: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/2.1.0-Downgrade-(Repeated-Failure)
