No, it will just result in a nice error message, and the console rebooting
(I already tried that)

Also it should actually update successfully, without touching FIRM0/1

Rebooting to what the cfw?

 

[hacksn5s4]

can nintedo make there new updates not work with cfw and just crash if you try to use a9lh with it

No.

They stopped us on 9.5 for a long time by instituting new keys on the n3ds, but that would require a hardware revision.

i was just asking this cause im thinking of getting rid of the emunand since you don't need it with arm9loader hax and flashing my emunand to sysnand so i still have all my games etc

I thought we are not able to flash emaunand to synand. Did that change?

You'll be fine, but if you really want to stay on the safe side, when there's a new update released, check Temp It'll be filled with people asking if the update is safe, you'll then see if it's safe or not.

Well, if Nintendo intends to brick your console by update because you had something installed that doesnt belong on your console, i actuially guess, you'd be able to sue them ^^'
And if they use an exploit to patch their kernel, this opened exploit can be used again to install another instance of a9lh.

You can if you use the retain a9lh option.

Is there such an option now? I remember I had to manually inject partitions.

 

[hacksn5s4]

thing is why arent nintedo trying hard to stop it if it allows piracy though

Decrypt9WIP added that option a while back

It's simply hard to patch, too low-level exploit.

Because by adding the OTP to the chain of trust they royally screwed themselves.

Well, when I tried to update my 3DS emuNAND from 9.9 to 10.7 with ReiNAND 3.8 (with FIRM protection), it just gave me an error (something like "The update could not be completed, the system will now restart"), but with Cakes (with FIRM protection disabled), I worked perfectly. Same thing with SysUpdater on my N3DS; when I tried to downgrade the emuNAND to 2.1, it failed to downgrade NATIVE_FIRM, but with Cakes, no problem.

Then I blame ReiNand. Using AuReiNand I updated from 9.2 A9LH to 10.7 keeping A9LH fine using SysNAND.

Isn't FIRM protection only applied to sysNAND?
There's no real reason to have it on emuNAND.

I just updated to the latest version of Decrypt9wip and it does not have that option.
