Hacking FW 6.2.0-4U, Upgrade to 9.2 Before CFW?

[tayshun12]

Hey All,

So I picked up 2 3DSes today both with FW 6.2.0 and I want to install custom firmware. I found this tutorial, https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-installing-rxtools-custom-firmware-3ds-and-2ds.390867/

which looks pretty good if followed correctly (plus there is a vid on youtube). I was just wondering if I need to install update 9.2 first before going through the tut, or do I install the tools first then update the firmware?

Thanks in advance!

You don't need to update first.

just use the guide it will have you (optionally) update at the appropriate time

Thanks! I'm going to do it now then. One more quick question, I am planning to buy a bigger memory card in the coming weeks. Will I have to do the entire process over again or can I just image the old sd to the new one? (as opposed to copy paste I would use DD on my mac)

thats the exact tutorial I followed for my 2ds that was on 7.2. except i updated to 9.2 with sysupdater after making a nand backup and before setting up emunand.

You can use the proper tools to easily copy an emuNAND from one SD to another.
