Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Svaethier]

I removed the SD card and it boots straight into the SysNAND. It's fucked.
It was just working and as soon as I launched a DSi game, this happened

did you have the updatedsysnand flag in place before this happened?

Yes I did

 

[Svaethier]

Yes I did

well that's weird, I guess it only block the FIRM files from being updated through system settings.

Either way, my 3DS is being put into storage until I can downgrade it. It was nice well it lasted.

I don't know what happened or how this happened, but when I launched a DSi Game, it somehow updated my sysNAND and removed the A9HL and now my CFW no longer works. Unless I can get a hardmod, I am officially done with my 3DS.

Whaaaat? What FW were you running on sysnand prior to running the DSi game? Please don't say 10.5 as that is scary shit if so.

Sorry about what happened.

It was a clone of my emuNAND, which was sadly on 10.5. Meaning my 3DS is fucked without a hardmod.

I played some DSiWare and no problem :/
I even did Smash Bros -> Flipnote (DSi) :/
And my NAND is linked again after A9LH...

now that's weird that DSI games can indirectly update your sysnand through emunand :/

If it was on 10.5 what on earth was it updating?!

@Svaethier Emunand was injected into sysnand.

 

[Svaethier]

@Svaethier Emunand was injected into sysnand.

maybe even though it says it's on 10.5 it REALLY wasn't?

SO WEIRD... But DSi titles hasn't any update package (or yes...?)

I was running it on my sysNAND, I swapped my emuNAND to my sysNAND. CIA 3DS games worked, homebrew CIA's worked, ect. Just launching one DSiWare game and closing it, caused me to lose my theme (it was pirated) and suddenly A9LH was removed and it was back to stock. All of my icons are still there though.

I don't know.

Yeah I didn't think you could inject 10.5 into a 9.2 NAND. That's why I thought you had to downgrade emunand to 9.2 before injecting into sysnand, and then update it.

ok try launching homebrew launcher, if that works then try reinstalling a9lh as this could just be a scare is all

I just thought of that and I am doing that now actually.

 

[Sir BLaDE]

I have a different problem with DS/DSi games in sysnand 10.5 O3DS XL shows black screen error, in emunand 9.2 with firmware.bin sames, but with firmware90 works.
I tried pushing A and creating reversereboot flag, nothing works.

Edit: in A9LH

 

[Svaethier]

i'm starting to think that may A9LH has some issues with DSIware atm

I think this might be a pretty big problem actually and I am kind of sad this wasn't tested first. I know it sounds kind of like I am pouting (I kind of am,) but you would think something simple like this would have been tested and documented somewhere.
I guess I was the test subject here.

Red screen flashes by and nothing happens. This is actually really scary.
The moral of the story here, be careful when fucking around with the sysNAND. Honestly, it's not worth it when it comes with a risk like this.

sysNAND? I'm having no issues with DSiWare. (Then again, I'm using a patched TWL_FIRM.)
