Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Diogoudard]

Hi! I followed this tutorial https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-5-(arm9loaderhax-&-AuReiNAND) and got it right until the part "
Removing EmuNAND from your SD". I did it but now CFW Sysnand won't boot. It gives me an error saying there's no EmuNand. Help?

Did you enable updatesysnand mode the first time you booted AuReiNAND?

I had a derp commit a minute ago, while I realized this: https://github.com/AuroraWright/AuReiNand/commit/7f96e47b4f647a9caa403a732ad6e58194c3ea61 (thanks for making me think about this).
When you go to SAFE MODE, FIRM reboots to SAFE_MODE FIRM. Thus, no FIRM protection patch, thus brick if you update. So, better to prevent access to it (indirectly XD)

I might have skipped that :x

Press select when booting your 3DS and enable updatedsysnand mode.

Press select when booting your 3DS and enable updatedsysnand mode.

Thank you! It worked! It autoboots SysNAND. So now I just have to reinstall FBI/HBLauncher, back up this sysNAND and I'm ok to update, right?

Correct

It was just chance that I asked what SAFE_MODE

I think Nintendo made the combo to enter recovery cumbersome to prevent users accidentally entering it. Kinda reinforces the thought process of simplifying the process to load A9LH payloads with AuReiNand chain loader.

 

[Doopl]

It's asking a lot, but now that AuReiNand can do screen printing it would be much nicer to have a menu listing the payloads that can be booted. Use the file names from /aurei/payloads (which would no longer be changed to default.bin, a.bin etc.) and let button shortcuts be configured from the same menu.

 

[Aurora Wright]

By the way I personally think L is good to load payloads, you can easily access all the other buttons

The new button combo works perfectly thanks for your work. Holding L+? is a lot easier

 

[EmuAGR]

Something bothered me and now I know what it is. With L, now default.bin loads when a non-assigned key is pressed. Just L loads emuNAND.

 

[stl25]

@Aurora Wright, L+payload buttons is a great combo.

(O3DSXL + A9HL + AuReiNand 3.12 + SysNand 10.7) If a system update comes out with a new native firm, am I still able to update it and successfully use FBI?

Please @Aurora Wright , use this to add animated splash

N3dsxL wondering the same thing, if i am able to update succesfully, does it have to be through system settings just like how it is in emunand. Am i still able to go to decrypt9 while holding L and R.

As of right now, you can update successfully through any method, including system settings. I just wonder when a new native firm is released.

What about L+Dpad down bring up a menu of payloads in the payloads folder?

No use personally but it will stop people complaining

How about an option to disable all button combs? People keep saying harde button combs to stops kids messing things up, how about a way to disable them all

No useless menus, please. This should be kept as simple as possible.

The latest commit from @Aurora Wright seems to be a great (hard enough if kids are playing they are less apt to enter into a potentially dangerous payload like decrypt9 or godmode but simple and easy enough to cater to lazy people like me who wanted a simpler combo).

Think about a kid with a tablet with your google account linked. Then you see a bunch of random charges (turns head to look at kid with tablet). Kids will find a way to screw you if left unattended with anything (precious 3DS,gun,lighter,tablet). OK I am speaking hypothetically, but I think @Aurora Wright found a excellent mix between the two.
