Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

This is weird :/

This is weird :/

I have a 9.0 backup that I did before installing A9LH, should I restore it? will it brick? I know I'll have to install a9lh again but I dont mind

Maybe try padding the config file out to at least a cluster size unit.

For what purpose? How do I do that?

Just try this.

 

[AtlasFontaine]

Just try this.

Should I rename it config.bin right? I'll try it, if it doesn't work I'll try using a Firmware.bin

EDIT: Nope, it's just hangs on black screens, I'll try using a firmware.bin

No, you're supposed to leave it as config with no extension :/

Nope, it didn't worked, it also didn't worked putting the Firmware.bin on the Luma folder :/

I haven't kept up with your situation but have your tried running saltcfw or whatever it's called? It's basically luma with the config removed and less features and if you can't boot up using that cfw either then it should remove luma or its options as the actual problem. Worth a shot if you haven't already tried

I'll try with another CFW then, do you have a link of that saltCFW?

Hello I been away from the scene in the past month, so I wonder if this new cfw still have the issue with the 3D at first boot using the standards method (ie. menuhax) + emunand ?

No this cfw is basically perfect

Hey guys, I'm trying to get updated to the latest whatever. I haven't kept up on anything and i'm still running ReiNAND with arm9lh. As I understand from the directions, I simply download Luma3DS, copy everything from the sd:/rei folder to luma, but then the upgrade insctructions say to remove everything but the payloads folder (which is empty btw) so ... apparently there isn't anything that is supposed to be moved from rei to luma if you're just supposed to remove all but payloads? Can someone post a screenshot of how the luma directory structure is supposed to look like, and what is supposed to go into the paylods folder? Also, what is this button business that is talked about in the wiki? Thanks in advance.

My setup is currently, reiNAND/arm9lh/sysNAND/ booting up very quick.

Delete everything that was reinand from your sd including the rei folder and arm9loaderhax.bin

Just place the luma arm9loaderhax.bin on your sd root and the luma folder on sd root

Done.

The payload folder is for things like decrypt9 on boot and the "button pushing" thing is to boot either into your payloads or emunand/sysnand. On first boot a config menu will pop up and you will see your options the wiki will have everything else you need to know

Thanks! Just figured it out before reading your post. One more question.. How many different arm9 payloads are there currently? Is there some sort of list that I can look at? I'm used to everything running from the Homebrew Launcher from the 3ds folder. It's interesting that you can load different payloads on boot now.

@TuxSH

I tried something different.

I took the original SD card of my 3ds, deleted everything from the SD card, copied decrypt9.bin to the root and renamed it to arm9loaderhax.bin, when I turned ON the console It showed me the luma config menu ._. I tried to save the config and after pressing start it showed me again the menu config without any option selected, I formated the sd again and copied decrypt9 and it now showed, I'm doing a NAND backup right now.

@TuxSH @Aurora Wright Turns out that today my new sd card arrived (a Samsung EVO 32 GB) and after copying my files and trying with this one it doesn't even want to enter to the config menu :/

I tried scrolling back about 5 - 6 pages on this thread to see what system/hax you were running. If you are using an emuNAND, I would venture to guess that you didn't copy the partition over to the new SD card.
But I may be wrong and in that case I can't help you. However, it was just a suggestion.
----------------------
Does anyone have an answer for that earlier question about leaving the lid closed for a period of time and is there a solution? What would cause of that? It's happened multiple times but not to the point where it makes me reboot 10-15 times to get it fixed.
For the small comments/questions about battery drain on emuNAND, it's probably because the SD card is being read/written to the whole time it's asleep.

I'd venture that after a while the 3DS is like "I'm not dependent on reading from the SD card, it'd save me lots of battery if I didn't" and stops. Therefore it crashes.

Totally unrelated content is in this spoiler. :^)

@Ammako

I think that would be a nice touch.
it probably wouldn't be very useful
but it would be really cool
if it would be possible.
If it would be too much
I wouldn't mind having to run NTR every time.

How much would could a would Ammako chuck, if a would Ammako could chuck would?

I don't use emunand, I use Sysnand with a9lh.

Ah, well then yeah, I was totally off.
Hey, I tried.
