Tutorial How to update B9S to Version 1.1

[ChaosWeeb]

This works with b9s 1.2 and Luma 8.0, right? I seem to be confused on what to do. Also, apparently *hax payloads are obsolete with Luma 8.0.

So yes, 8.0 is the only Luma version that works with b9s 1.2. And yes, hax payloads are now non existant thanks to the new 2.0 Rosalina release of the Homebrew Launcher

My question was if this guide also works for b9s v1.2.

Yes, its the exact same, but get the new version of the installer from my edits at the bottom of the tutorial

Can confirm successful installation of boot9strap v1.2 and Luma v8.0 by following this guide.

I'm not sure you need to move the payloads from the payloads folder.

I'm not sure you need to move the payloads from the payloads folder.

Luma chainloader will launch directly into SafeB9SInstaller when you have only it in the payloads folder when you hold Start+Power, it's a quicker launch to the program itself.

Well you dont have to, but I keep doing it just to stay safe

Alright, so my SD Card has 3 more files than in this tutorial. Probably from a previous setup. (forgive the interface, I'm on Android 4.4.2 rn)

Do I delete the other 3 files or no?

No its not necessary. Keep them. Ive installed both 1.1 and 1.2 with my otp, firm0firm1 and bootX (X means number) files in there
And hey, Android is OK, and like 3ds.guide's FAQ lists, "You just need a device that can copy files to an SD Card!"

What about the secret_sector.bin?

 

[ChaosWeeb]

What about the secret_sector.bin?

Thats no longer needed if you have an Old 3DS or 2DS, so delete that but if you have a New 3DS, keep it
V0.6 of the installer says secret_sector.bin is no longer needed to install boot9strap, in other words

Now my 3DS won't boot the installer. It boots to a black screen. Am I bricked?

What 3DS model do you have, and do you have the latest version of SafeB9SInstaller from my edits, or the post KunoichiZ posted?

 

[PrincessLillie]

What 3DS model do you have, and do you have the latest version of SafeB9SInstaller from my edits?

I'm running an old2DS and I do have the latest installer.

 

[ChaosWeeb]

I'm running an old2DS and I do have the latest installer.

OK then, are you running Luma 8.0?

 

[PrincessLillie]

OK then, are you running Luma 8.0?

I WAS running Luma 7.1, but the guide doesn't say to get a new Luma build until after installing.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Just so you know, it won't boot at all. It's just a power light and a not backlit screen. It does boot without the SD Card.

You need Luma 8.0: https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases
This is needed if you want to use boot9strap 1.2 and the latest version of SafeB9SInstaller

I didn't know. I'm dumb! I'll download it now.

Ive updated tutorial to show how to upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2 (steps 18 through to 21)

So now I can launch the HOME Menu, but the installer won't load if I hold START on boot. What happened?
