Hey, so I'm dumb

[Ondrashek06]

So I again did the fucking update while in the stock mode, resulting in B9S uninstallation. But now that I am on FW 11.16.0, pichaxx doesn't work.

But when I try it with seedminer, the bannerbomb3 file is put in the correct place and the DSiWare menu just crashes before I can even click on SD card.

I have a NAND backup to restore and I want to again install B9S to restore it. Is that possible in this situation?

 

[LainaGabranth]

Should be possible, yeah. Do you see any errors or something before the crash?

 

[Ondrashek06]

I enter system settings fine, data management fine. But once I enter the DSiWare menu, the app crashes and a message tells me that the system will be restarted.

That's fucking weird as shit, once my shift is over I'll dig up my 2DS and see what I can do

What were you doing running the native firm outside of b9s in the first place?

Yes, I'm an idiot, but can you please help me get out of this?

Sounds like twl is corrupted as both of those things involve dsi.

Ughh, no, if TWL was corrupted, DS Download Play wouldn't work, which it does.

I will think you are stuck at Section II - Bannerbomb 3. But nevermind.. Pichaxx is the alternative you already tryed.

The troubleshooting just tells me to try the discord, but I'm allergic to joining random discord servers.

 

[Sypherone]

I dont know if it helps, but i remember lilyuwuu mentioned here a older method with HBL + USM for use wich also should work on 11.16. Or if you follow this alternativ you will be also lead to the HBL+ USM method.

Hold down SELECT when you boot your Switch? Does anything happen?

Ah yes, I did an error. Big woop

Somehow I get the feeling that I've seen that before…
Since version 11.16 fixed a vulnerability used by Universal-Otherapp, normal userland entrypoints like PicHaxx aren't gonna help for directly installing B9S. Previous methods (injecting Jpn Flipnote Studio into Download Play / Frogtool) might be an option here. Since I have less than half-knowledge and this was some years ago, I'll not even try to elaborate.

The proper way of doing nonsense (I do it all the time) on the 3DS platform is preparing an ntrboot flashcart, verifying it works, verifying you can reliably do ntrboot… and then you can do almost any stupid software related stuff. In case of:

• I don't have a compatible flashcart – or–
• I can't flash ntrboot – or –
• I don't have a second DS system – or simply –
• I haven't prepared and tested ntrboot

one should NOT do nonsense… let alone the same nonsense twice.

→ My advise: ntrboot

That links to a guide to PicHaxx, which I cannot use on 11.16.0.

Also, "uninstalled B9S" = nothing happening when trying to enter GM9 or Luma settings

 

[linuxares]

Yes but does all of that they provided work? Else you most likely need like ntrboot or such to get it working if you can't do seedminer.

See, that's why I wanted to flash ntrboot on the flashcard. But because the software just WON'T work and flash ntrboot to the cart, I'm stuck here.

What issues do you have with flashing ntrboot?

It always saying "Failed to inject FIRM!" even though I've checked numerous times and confirmed that the cart IS compatible.
