Homebrew Boot9Strap/SigHax Install Success Rate

[Deleted member 381889]

To all who blamed sighax bricks on user error:
SigHax.com installation is

1. Copy "arm9loaderhax.bin" onto your SD card
2. Copy "sighax_installer.bin" onto your SD card
3. Rename "sighax_installer.bin" to "target_firm.bin"
4. Put it back into your 3ds
5. Turn your 3ds on
6. Press A a bunch of times
7. SigHax installed/Your 3ds has been bricked

I fail to see how user error could be made. The only thing I can think of is if you forgot to rename sighax_installer.bin, or had a file in the wrong place, in which case it wouldn't make any changes to the nand at all. There is no way to brick from user error with sighax.com or 3ds.guide. The sighax installer will cause bricks!

70% brick rate from using sighax.com, with a 10% success rate.

Where's the other 20 percent?

SigHax didn't install for them, I suppose. The option was "I installed from sighax.com and it wasn't succesful."

Where's the other 20 percent?

waiting for confirmation that TuxSH's .bin -> .firm converter works with Luma -> Gateway chainloading

seriously though... that's the first thing I'm trying on my O3DS when I get home, before doing it on my N3DS if it works.

Afaik, they could brick if they had 3DSafe installed beforehand.

I'll ask someone who bricked.

Nope, they didn't use 3DSafe.

I can proudly say that I upgraded from A9LH on both my systems to boot9strap. Neither of them had a problem during the upgrade and both of them are doing just fine now.

Update: SigHax Installer 0.2 has been released.
If you installed using SigHax Installer 0.2, please vote in this second poll.
If you haven't installed SigHax or Boot9Strap, do not try this second installer yet, install Boot9Strap with Plailect's guide.

I'm stuck on a step... it says I need to press R and B to eject my sd card... my R button is broke... is it safe to turn off my n3ds xl to eject the sd card??

Hey,how do you get one of those badge day one things?Think it looks neat.
Installation was easy since I already had CFW.The only thing I skipped was the CTR NAND Luma config since I never put it on there.Do I need to?

updated 3 new 3dsxl from a9ph to boot9strap and all good

can I turn off n3ds to take out sd??

 

[OblivionReign]

I am in the process and its already giving me trouble, SafeB9Sinstaller keeps giving me this error "SigHaxed FIRM was not installed!, check lower screen" I am following 3ds.guide update method BTW

I am trying this with a o3ds with A9lh and luma v6.6 with it setup to only boot when the SD card is inserted into the 3ds if anyones curious.

Use luma 7.0 first. it might help some.

This was already solved, and I really doubt Luma version affects this, considering B9S can be installed from stock, and bricked consoles.

yes u can as far i know, the method same as install a9lh v2.0 sdless booting, just put boot.firm to ur nand ([1:] SYSNAND CTRNAND).
