Did the 2.1 downgrade for OTP work for you?

Well I would assume so. I copy the header, and the file size of sysNAND.bin does not change. That means it's correct, right?

 

I did the downgrade on my 2ds. while on 2.1 home menu, the top screen was stretched weirdly. but the browser worked, and i got otp dumped, and then flashed my sysnand back. now im coldbooting AuReinand

 

With HxD? Make sure you use Paste Write and not Paste Insert.

 

I've done it on two consoles already, neither of which hardmodded.
There's not much that can be done with it yet and screen initialization is still not there, but it certainly does work.
That said I feel obligated to say that average users really should stick with Menuhax for the time being. Right now there's no way to do anything except run CFW and the payloads for it are kind of disorganized and hard to find.

 

if you not erase the folder Nintendo 3DS when you boot in 2.1, the console not boot, erase the folder and the console did boot.

 

Did you use the emunand method by downgrading emunand to 2.1 and injecting it into sysnand?

 

If anyone with an o3ds is think that they want to do this to get true autobooting cfw, for right now there isn't any cfw that supports a9lh yet, however if you want to dump the otp file for later use, wait until the tutorial to do so is updated

 

holy shit, I have to try this on my o3ds.

 

nope. just downgraded my sysnand directly. I hardmodded the 2ds, so bricks aren't much of a concern.

cakes works and is available publicly. AuReinand also works, but idk if its been posted here.

 

Cakes works with the o3ds but it doesn't support a9lh, and without support it wont boot

it works with a9lh. see here https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-cakesfw.391200/page-115#post-6087891
you have to use cakes without a9lh once to configure it. then you just need the a9lh payoad. used it all morning before aureinand was fixed

 

Playing around on my modded N3DS. I manged to get OTP fine, but using any game with 4.0-6.1 update just bricks the N3DS. It fails to update, then just gets the Error has occurred when rebooting.

 

I was told to do the emunand guide to get the otp, my 2ds isn't hardmodded but 80% of the people who have done this never bricked once so I feel that i'm OK with doing this later.

 

Oh wow I didn't think that Mid Kid would be able to get cakes working yet with the a9lh, but that is really cool new info

N3ds was never on any of those firmwares and will always brick, if you can find it, there was a decrypt9 that was ported to 2.1

 

Does AuReiNAND allow you to access both sysNAND and emuNAND even with a9lh?

 

No, so far no one has figured a way to properly boot into sysnand from a9lh

 

Yea should probably change that tutorial - says:

1. Insert your game that contains an update to a version between 4.0 and (possibly 6.1? further testing needed to confirm exact version limit)
2. Disable all network connections on the 3DS and delete any predownloaded updates.
3. Launch the game.

 

Well.. you can access sysNAND with a9hl, you just need to use @Shadowtrance's payload.
