Hacking How do I uninstall a CFW

[Gameboyandwatch]

Since in my last thread, everyone thought it was so funny that I said "sysnand" instead of cfw, I thought it might be better just to make a new thread so people don't have a reason to spam posts.

Anyways, how do I uninstall a cfw? I'm using luma3ds and a9lh, and I haven't found a thing about it.

Delete the arm9loaderhax.bin than cfw is gone.

Yeah, no. I'm pretty sure that would cause a B R I C K. It CAN'T be THAT simple, considering a downgrade is involved in the setup process.
In response to your question, people have told me to restore a pre-a9lh backup using Decrypt9.

It won't brick but his 3ds won't start anymore because arm9loader has nothing to load = shut down . He has to Uninstall arm9loaderhax to remove cfw. This is possible with SafeA9LHInstaller.

You can always desolder the NAND chip if you want to remove sysNAND. If you want to remove CFW, just delete arm9loaderhax.bin.
If you want to delete a9lh, use https://github.com/AuroraWright/SafeA9LHInstaller/releases to delete it. Just run it as a payload. Directions are on screen.

You don't need to remove A9LH/CFW.

Some people must not realize that posting useless information is less helpful than posting no information at all.

(OK, the first post or two about it before the edit were mild amusing, but then people wouldn't stop.)

I believe your original question was answered in the last thread though.

Either restore a NAND backup from BEFORE installing a9lh using decrypt9 like we said before, or run safea9lhinstaller as a luma payload just like when you installed a9lh. It will have a new option to uninstall.

He wants to sell it.

Hey, I was going to sell my 3DS and I was wondering; how do I remove a cfw? I'm currently using Luma3DS and A9lH. There's gotta be SOME way to uninstall a cfw.

Although he probably should have said so in this thread.

He wants to sell it.

First, OP didn't state (in this thread anyway) why he wanted to remove CFW. Second, CFW would probably make it worth more, depending on how he's selling it. Third, even if it doesn't make it worth more, there's no reason not to just leave it on there.
