Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[The Catboy]

Yep, @daxtsu already told me off for forgetting about that >.>

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

@Crystal the Glaceon mind testing this with your old config file? I haven't pushed the release so you'll have to download it manually.

Sorry for the delay, I was still at work.
Testing....
And it just gives me an error

[string "?"]:29: bad argument #1 to 'gsub' (string expected, got nil)

I noticed a thread was made, so I will bring my comment there.

I used the Updater and it still won't let me on eShop to get the game update.

Make sure you select unstable/latest commit.

I did that and now I blackscreened trying to boot it.

EDIT: It worked now but it took a few tries. Gonna test to see if I can get the game update now.

 

[MagmaLeader]

I was able to get the game updated but I still cannot get online in Pokemon because of required system update.

Use the LATEST LUMA NIGHTLIES. Don't use the official release.

Oh... Cool!
Is there a list of common ones? Or any that you know of that work well with this?

Did u follow Plailect's guide to install A9 and Luma?If so,u've already set the payloads!
If not,see https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-5-(arm9loaderhax) ,follow 12,15 and 17 in Section I - Preparatory work.
Then u could hold Start on boot to launch Decrypt9,Y on boot to launch EmuNAND9 and X on boot to launch Uncart
If u like,u could also add another payload using another button following the Luma3DS wiki guide I gave you.

Hey, I'm trying to downgrade my EmuNand from 11.X to 9.2, but at the end of the downgrade, when downgrading NFIRM, I got the blackscreen "Error Occured".
I guess my EmuNand is bricked, I know it's my fault, but where did I fail?
I put the firmware.bin from the Luma3DS NTR firmware bin (mirror) zip file from plailect's guide (taken in part 3 RedNAND) in SD:/luma/

Where did I fail?

-------------------------------

I also TinyFormatted my EmuNand 5x, put the firmware.bin in SD\luma, then I used PlaySysUpdater.cia and Y for downgrade to 9.2 from 11.X
All was in good and green for the check.
For the downgrade, all was DONE and in green, but "Error Occured" After downgrading the NFIRM

I have a question.

Why while in NEW 3DS XL if i change Microsd i dont need to setup db file to install new cia
But with O3DS i need to do so?

Both with A9LH and LUMA3DS up to date!!

try again but this time create a new EmuNAND. this is the only thing I can recommend at the moment.

Maybe it's 'cause u have setup them in new but not in old.

My friend has a o3ds and if change sd cia cant install until db its restructure.

Have ur friend setup dbs or download any game from eshop or enter the eshop before?
If not,guess that must be the reason.
If so,might be something wrong either with the sd or setup process.
When copying things to the new sd don't forget Nintendo 3DS along with any other things needed.

Do you have A9LH installed on the N3DS? If so your going to need that SD card constantly in the N3DS as it won't boot up without it

Im talking about install cia.

Lets fo a example.

I delete nintendo 3ds folder.
If its new 3ds after its create 3ds folder i can install .cia without take it to pc and copy db file and delete it.

If it O3ds. It will get error if i dont copy db and delete.

Both are with A9LH.

For a start you could explain by install CIA?

A CIA installer like FBI should already be installed. The only time I have used the dB files is when I followed that guide. Not had to touch them since I finished that guide and have a fully hacked 3DS
