Homebrew Is there something wrong with A9LH?

[Supster131]

At the time I didn't have OOT3DS or Cubic Ninja, and my browser was what got the partial so I couldn't even launch it to attempt browserhax. It's actually the reason I bought Cubic Ninja from my friend for like 15 dollars.

Browserhax doesn't work on 2.1 at all
I ran RxTools devmode which made the sysUpdater CIA appear. Then I downgraded again.

Sorry, totally forgot it's payloads require 9.0+ even if the browser version is exploitable

How did you get into rxTools devmode? Did you use the browser exploit?

I did

This is why I don't mind downgrading 9.2 -> 2.1 on the o3DS, I can easily fix a partial downgrade. 9.2+ however, yeah, no XD

nope, didn't know that because it's absolute horseshit.

Just like your bricking paranoia

Bricking is almost impossible in the process now. There are so many checks, I'd wager at least 99% of bricks are user error.

They are. Each time I see someone mention an issue on #cakey, it's mostly due to user error.
Ironically, the tools didn't brick users, they over protected the users (at one point)

Yeah, I tested 0.79 OTPHelper. Got the same false positive every time I downgraded

For me, laziness. Autobooting into EmuNAND with HomeMenuHax works just fine for me so I don't really have much desire to bother with setting up a9lh.

Makes sense to me, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. End result is still the same, free stuff.

It really can't get much safer than it already is.
Nothing "new" will come along and make it take just a few seconds.
That's impossible because the OTP is locked on all firmwares above 2.1.
There will always be a chance of bricking if you mess it up.

The only thing stopping anyone from installing A9LH is paranoia.

I was responding to @Supster131's comment about how the tools used to overprotect people
