Hacking Is OTPless A9LH Safe?

[Deleted-394630]

I've heard a few bricks have happened, due to FIRM corruption or something. I already installed A9LH a few times before, but never have I used the OTPless method.

There are bricked units. I wont use it until someone discovers the problem.

Then what are my options for installingredients A9LH?

Actually the updated official guided uses it, for the n3ds part of the guide you drag and drop the data input files and the payloads and firm required for the installer and then you press install...

Then the guide can be considered unsafe. Why are we using a tool still heavily in development ?

I did it (OTPless) twice without any problem

 

[Sonansune]

4 times without any problem

According to Plailect, the brick percentage is 0.0065%. But I don't know if it is accurate.

It's pretty safe either way. You're talking about like what, 15 bricks out of 1000 installs? That's a pretty good ratio.

From what I've heard OTPless has only caused bricks with corrupt sd cards... Unfortuantly I dont think plailect's guide even shows the OTP method anymore for n3ds'?

Atleast for me, the OTPless install worked yesterday for me! ^^
However, on version 2.6.4 of SafeA9LHInstaller it got reported many bricks. On 2.6.6 seems Aurora Wright has changed the method of OTPLess install to see if this helps with the rare bricks. There haven't been reports of bricks on 2.6.6 , different from 2.6.4

it's the same as o3ds

 

[clancy94]

it's the same as o3ds

There should be an option to go either the OTP route or OTPless

there is, just follow the o3ds method......

Ohhh i misunderstood. So you can just do that? Well that solves OP's dilemma then

Dumb question but in the new update in aafe al9hinsatller 2.6.6 it said it changed otpless method but did not specify the details. so does anyone know or see any changes?

It's safer than downgrading to 9.2.

Here's the diffs but I can't see anything massive (don't understand it well enough) :

Actually it has a less chance of bricking then downgrading to 2.1, and its been heavily updated since the first otpless install method

 

[Patodox]

n3ds bricked with 2.6.6 version

Well, if you check the stupid mistakes people make when following the instructions you will go to the assumption that most of these mistakes are human. Hell even I recognize I did some serious stupid moves in the guide and I'm smart enough to recognize them. The proble is that people is lazy and won't check if everything is right after a fatal mistake... On topic, yes, it is safe
