Back up any desired saves with @JK_ "JKSM" - JK Save Manager.

You will keep everything, if you want to be extra safe use jk's save manager to back them all up first

Not yet, after you've installed everything it shows you what you need (your choice really)

Just carefully read over the guide two times to be able to understand what to do, and not brick from user error, if so you should be fine.

You should have no issue just starting. You cam swap to a new cfw if you want

Really glad to read this, the process takes its time, but if one follows the instructions one by one, slowly, everybody can install A9LH, congratulations!

Exactly. Towards the end I started to rush and make mistakes but if you take it nice and slowly, everything will go smooth. Once everything gets copied back to my SD card I will see exactly how it feels and works. Is there a way for it to boot directly to Luma or do I have to force it to load every time?

 

[felixsrg]

If you get Luma's "arm9loaderhax.bin" on the root of your SD card and its folder with the payloads you wish to have, you can boot holding the Select button to get to Luma's configuration, there you set everything and it will load automatically.

Oh yea. I forgot that.

Hello, im midway installing a9lh. Im on the steps :

1. Repeat steps 29 through 34, this is not optional (in other words, you must TinyFormat your RedNAND twice - if you do not, your device may brick when you downgrade)
2. Remove any TWL modifications done to the device or PlaiSysUpdater will throw an error
   (if you have no idea what this is, don't worry about it; most users will not need to do this)
3. Launch the Health and Safety Application (which is now FBI)
4. Navigate to PlaiSysUpdater.cia and press A to install

Am I supposed to do #3,4 through sysnand or rednand? thanks

Steps 3 and 4 are to be made on the RedNAND/EmuNAND which is the one we are going to downgrade directly via "PlaiSysUpdater"
