Hacking I lost A9LH

[bobfacemoo]

OP did you chainload using GW with luma? Oo

I believe he did, since he mentions playing MK7 on his gateway. However this shouldn't be an issue unless OP updated in gateway mode, and he claims he didn't, so..

Quite the case indeed.

OP, how about you try to re-download luma and payloads and then see what happens? maybe your arm9loaderhax.bin corrupted on you somehow. it wouldn't hurt to try. try luma 6.3.1 or 6.5. I'm assuming it will most likely not work, but it's just to confirm cfw is truly gone.

 

[zbw2000]

When you load up your system (if it even does) does it say "Ver" or "Sys/Emu" ?

If Ver - youre in non-cfw

If Sys/Emu - youre in luma cfw sysnand or emunand

Luma doesn't say sys/emu, it's always just Ver. And the op can't open system settings anyway so it wouldn't really matter.

Luma doesn't say sys/emu, it's always just Ver. And the op can't open system settings anyway so it wouldn't really matter.

Since version 6 of luma it supports either customversion.txt for user created strings or Sys/Emu if "Show NAND identification on system settings" is ticked in luma's configuration screen.

Didn't know about that, good to know.

 

[proflayton123]

You tick it in the config :v

 

[Alex658]

Hmmmm... can op try to dl-client (download play) a DS game and see if that fixes mset/system settings (that would reset the ROP if it's the case and at least let him see the "ver.")

EDIT: I assume he has no DS games or flashcarts. And can't set the ds-wifi connections because system settings crashes anyway.

What if OP never had a9lh, and was really just using menuhax after upgrading from MSET ROP?

Well, that's also a possibility, unless he can somehow prove he was 9.2+ and with CFW.

People mistakenly confuse A9LH with Luma thinking they are the same thing.

Good Guess, since if he really install recently, he should have A9LHv4 + CTRNAND Luma3DS.
With the 2 layer firm protection, he shouldn't lose A9LH.

Just curious, what's is A9LH v4? If v3 is considered as sd-less (now known as CTRNAND cfw/luma)

It is my experience with this site that the user requesting help is not being 100% truthful. Not necessarily intentional, but due to a lack of knowledge. Just look at this exert from OP: "Hi, i was playing Mario kart with gateway (i had the normal A9LH not the gw A9lh) ". Assuming he is referring to Plailect's Guide over Gateway's A9LH installation, but who knows. Was he using a payload from https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-using-luma3ds-with-gateway-on-v2-a9lh.431691/ or the wrong payload?

A9LH doesn't just disappear, especially with Luma3DS. Chances are, OP updated by accident in GW mode, which has no FIRM protection, and overwrote A9LH.

That is somebody using the incorrect terminology. They are referring to data input set v4.

There was A9LH, then A9LHv2 which are larger payloads. There was also A9LHv.2 which was the original SDLess A9LH. It has since been deprecated as Aurora's A9LH supports SDLess booting through CTRNAND.

If that was indeed the case, he's lucky he didn't have a N3DS or he would have a brick by now.

Is it me or the op should reply d
So we can get a better idea war wire dealing with. I sorta wanna see someone recreate wat he did to see if his incident is legit

Are you sure you didn't update in Gateway or reflash a NAND? Because I can tell you that the current FIRM0/1 protection is almost perfect. I know, because I put my own system at risk by downgrading them and testing upgrades myself. In no cases were A9LH effected by any upgrade using the current Firm0/1 protection.
I use that term because basically all CFWs use the same method. Just often tweaked to work their patch setups.

Well this is quite spooky.I just switched to a9lh not too long ago.Hopefully I have no issues updating next update.I don't plan on ever using gateway but I've been thinking on getting a r4i gold only for ds games

It's really not spooky. In cases like this, the OP often just omits a detail to shift blame away from themselves. Considering how many tests that have been run (including my own.) It seems highly unlikely that Luma3DS failed and more likely that OP was the one who failed. Like they said, they were using a Gateway. Gateway does not have FIRM0/1 protection, which means updating your sysNAND in Gateway Mode will remove A9LH. It could be why the System Settings are broken.

R4i run on TWL Firm so you shouldn't have any problem.
And if you recently install A9LH, you will have 2 layers of FIRM protection if SD inserted (except you're using Gateway A9LH).
But, to make sure, when next update come, you can visit the community for check if it safe to update or not.

This. Highly doubtful it was anything outside of user error.
