Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[TheCyberQuake]

To switch to this from reiNAND do I just need to put it in the root of my micro sd and just boot into it with coldboot manager?

Yep. For the most part all CFW use the same emuNAND format. Even GW afaik.

 

[Zyteus]

Yep

Sweet!

So i was changing my ncchinfo.bin to grab a file from decript9, i put the sd card back in my o3ds then got blue boot rom error screen. I restarted again and am now getting black screens. How would I correct this?

Thats bricked

 

[Blueman7]

No way...........

What would cause the brick?

If u have a nand backup is the only way to fix it and a hardmod to flash it back

 

[Blueman7]

I have several nand backups, thank goodness (as i did a hardmod). Any idea what caused it though?

ok i am currently on reinand with menuxhax and emunand 11.0. how would i go shifting to luma3ds, while keeping my menuhax setup, which also uses ctrbootmanager? thanks

Just swap it out and point to the luma3ds dat in your booter

Huh, I installed Flipnote Studio 3D from freeshop (EU and JP versions) but they don't seem to work in Luma. They just give me black error screens.

For what it's worth, these both work in Gateway mode.

Yep, to use an out of region FlipnoteSudio, you have to use the advanced region emulation feature of Luma3DS. (https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Options-and-usage)

So I flashed my nand that is supposed to have a9lh installed but now I am unable to access fbi, decrypt9 or anything of the sort. Also my o3dsxl will only randomly boot, any guidance would be appreciated.

Well I did this, and still get black error screen for some reason.

You flashed old nand back up right? if so you will lost any tickets for those games which are installed before.

in this time you have to re-install all the homebrews.

I was able to get everything up and running again (had to switch from luma3ds 5.5 to 5.3), but am still havin the random not booting issue. At this point I am starting to believe the sd card is also part of the issue (although I am using a brand new 32gb Sandisk card). I am getting more black screens than good boots.

Random not booting custom firmware issue with a9lh? that weird. have you tried latest nightly build? sometime nightly build solve the problem.


P.S
latest nightly build has pin locking feature.

 

[The Catboy]

How do i transfer my rxTools emunand to Luma?

CFW's do not effect your NANDs, so you can keep using the same emuNAND from RXTools with Luma3DS or any other CFW.
Just delete the files for RXTools and replace them with the files from Luma3DS.

I'll give it a shot and report back. What is pin locking (I'm still kinda new to this)?

I'm trying to use the OLD_TWL from Aurora Wright's Wiki I download this, and then I install it with FBI into NAND. But nothing changes. I can't play DSi games nor NDS.

The day I installed Luma I could boot my TTDSi, but now I can't even do that.

So, nobody knows about this?

Do you have a nand backup? If so, I would recommend uninstalling your current twl firm and then downloading and installing a clean one instead of trying to install overtop of an existing twl firm.
