Homebrew Getting Homebrew/FBI on CFW 2.1.0-4E

[Donzi]

So I've just spent the last few hours trying to get FBI on my 3DS, I was following the tutorial and it all seemed okay until the tutorial lead to a part that required getting arm9loader which it looks like it isn't available anymore.
I'm on a custom firmware which means homebrew has completely stopped working as well as me not being able to boot the 3DS with the SD card in due to it crashing. I tried installing boot9strap but I cant seem to load luma from launch because of the crashing. I have all of the files sorted on my SD card so is there anything I'm doing wrong?

You should try a ctr-transfer to 9.2.0 or even 11.2.0 as your firmware version is so old, b9s most likely doesn't support 2.1.0 anymore. Also, DO NOT UPDATE TO 11.4.0 as it makes b9s a ton harder to get.

AFAIK you can install A9LH from 2.1, update to 11.4, and then update to B9S.

That could work. This is the latest snapshot of 3ds.guide before it switched to b9s: https://web.archive.org/web/20170519055757/http://3ds.guide/ AFTER you do that, you can update to 11.4.0 and upgrade to b9s from there: https://3ds.guide/updating-to-boot9strap

You should have heeded the warning about finishing in progress hacking or waiting.

Lower firmware support is currently being worked on. It's not finished yet.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I managed to sort it all out today with some help from a friend! It was just a matter of finding the files for a9lh so that I could update to b9s

Glad you got it sorted.

For what it's worth, there's a new release of SafeB9SInstaller (v0.0.6) that adds a 2xrsa entry point, which makes it possible to install Boot9Strap from 2.1.
