Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Aurora Wright]

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.

Not possible.

 

[The Catboy]

Not possible.

Go tell that to my 3DS because it happened.

DSiware cannot update your console (without some hacky method), you messed with something else. Case and point.

I can't believe that you ran a DSi game and THAT is what updated you. From just plain looking at things from the realm of all worldly possibilities, a DSi game does not contain the necessary code to update your 3DS. It just doesn't. Maybe something else happened, but that honestly could not have been it.

Did you restore a full emuNAND backup to sysNAND by any chance?

Alright, I had this working and it wasn't until I launched that game when something happened. I was having issues before launching DSiware games (to be correct shantae risky's revenge, which I bought a long ass time ago,) until that point.

I did.

 

[JacksonS]

I did.

So... you removed A9LH by flashing emuNAND and thus overwriting everything?

You overwrote FIRM0 and FIRM1, and thus A9LH. You have to ONLY replace CTRNAND, TWLN, TWLP and AGBSAVE, NOT FIRM0 and FIRM1 (and they're all included in a NAND backup).

Interesting, I followed this guide

I see on Step 4 it says to reinject the partitions separately. I guess you misread or got misinformation somewhere else.

I'll take the latter.
Either way, it still appears that I am fucked.

Stage 1, step 5 indicates not to include FIRM0 and FIRM1.

You're on 10.5 sysNAND now? I've downgraded my 3DS from 10.5. I could downgrade yours too, or maybe you could hardmod it yourself.

I lack the tools and skill to hard mod my system. The only thing I can do send it out or find someone locally who knows what they are doing, which seems unlikely.

That's what I was referring to, sending it to me. I would just solder a temporary hardmod and then close back your system without a visible trace.

 

[Audioboxer]

What is included in FIRM0 and FIRM1 anyway?

10.6 is out, wonder who will test sysnand first?

 

[DigitalJosee]

Since 10.6 doesn't break emuNAND, and AuRei patch firm updating, upgrading to 10.6 in sys should be fine.

BALLS! I'm updating now. Wish me luck. (inb4 brick)

 

[Aurora Wright]

10.6 doesn't update NATIVE_FIRM, so it's safe... it should patch browserhax and menuhax, but that's it

native firm hasn't been updated so a9lh should be ok
