Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[noob] can i use this without the a9lh? basically, i want reinand on o3ds. if not i'll go through the trouble of grabbing otp through emunand.

Yes you can

But I have it, I downloaded from this thread, from the firm pack, I had two firm archives in my rei file
rei/firmware90.bin
rei/firmware.bin

Edit: Now it works, I just moved updatedsys to other part on my SD, I reboot my console holding L and it boots on sysNAND

I've successfully installed AureiNAND and A9HL on my New 3DS. It's working perfectly! But now I have a question: should I just go ahead and switch my emuNAND and sysNAND?

I don't really understand the advantages of doing so. I have plenty of room on my microSD (55 out of 128 GB still free), so getting rid of the emuNAND isn't going to make a difference. Is there any benefit in switching the NANDs, besides the slightly improved booting times, if I already have a working A9HL emuNAND setup?

If I decide to do so, can I use AureiNAND to boot into sysNAND with the updatedsys option? Would I need to use Mini Pasta if I go this route?

You can keep emuNAND (a common setup is to keep a 9.2 one to be able to use Decrypt9 if something bad happens to SysNAND) when switching.
SysNAND is booting slighty faster than EmuNAND, but the difference is barely noticeable. You could also unplug your SD card when on firmware if you need that.

If you don't think you need SysNAND as main NAND, then you can keep your EmuNAND, it will also be perfectly fine. Your call .

It's mostly for those who've been clamoring for a sysNAND CFW from the beginning. There's no inherent advantage right now, aside from avoiding dual GBA/DSi installs. If you've been wanting a sysNAND CFW since day one, then go for it. Either way you slice it, A9LH requires an SD card to boot properly, so whether you boot into CFW off the SD itself, or sysNAND, it makes no difference for the most part. Personally, I prefer to stick with emuNAND just as a bit of a security blanket/layer, even if it's not entirely necessary.

If I decide to do so, can I use AureiNAND to boot into sysNAND with the updatedsys option? Would I need to use Mini Pasta if I go this route?

Yes. Just make a blank file in the rei folder called "updatedsysnand" and it'll boot sysNAND by default. No, miniPasta is never required anymore for A9LH, because it boots into sysNAND (if you choose to) with sigs patched from the get-go.

Thanks. I think I'll keep my emuNAND as it is for the moment. Maybe if I find a GBA game that Retroarch can't run I'll switch the NANDs, to avoid having to install GBA CIAs in both places.

Hi All, First thanks for the hard work, im trying to get into eshop on 10.6 emunand on N3DS booting using arm9 which firmware file should i be using?
thanks

can anyone please help?
thanks

firmware.bin

So many issues could be self-solved by just reading the first page thoroughly

thanks... i did read the first post obviously i wouldn't even have arm9loaderhax installed if i couldn't read.
i have used the firmware in /rei-n3ds/firmware.bin tried replacing 3 times in case of any errors with the files.
i still cannot access the eshop on 10.6 emunand.

thanks

What exact error is it giving you?

It tries to load for about 3 minutes then errors out on "Error Code: 005-4040" an error has occurred please try again later.
thanks

Do you have tubehax dns set?

No I do not, only on my Wii u
Thanks

Could just be the eshop down in your area

How to fix ntr on emunand 10.5 with this mode?i have copied ntrold3ds reboot files on rei folder but ntr cfw doesnt launch i use arm9loader

 

[subcon959]

2) If you need to use NTR CFW, the 9.6 FIRM for Old3DS and the 10.2 FIRM for New3DS are needed. They are in the rei-n3ds and rei-o3ds folders inside the "NTR" folder in the FIRMs.7z. Also, on O3DS, you need to replace the "reboot" folder inside "rei" with the "reboot" folder inside "ntr-o3ds".

 

[Ninoh-FOX]

for NTR, sysnand a9lh 10.6 with native_firm 10.2 (firmware.bin) works fine.

 

[laharl22]

Thanks but i have not firm.7z?there are 3##.ISO?
