Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Februarysn0w]

I restored my old 2.1 unbricked sysnand (Downgraded myself at February) in my New 3DS... but won't boot. Does anyone confirmed this work?

I think the 2.x/1.x patches only work on Old3DS

Well, it makes sense.

N3DS or 2DS were never meant to have 2.1 in it.

Don't. 2.1 can't be put in sleep mode on n3DS. Or brick. I guess A9LH allows you to fix it, but... It's annoying, I suppose

I know, it is the biggest warning on the guide. Probably due to the same as I said above. (N3DS or 2DS were never meant to have 2.1 in it.)
Of course, this is for testing only.
Neither put N3DS in sleep mode nor format system settings on 2DS below 6.x

On a side note, the guide says it's "unrecoverable brick". Wondering if we can revert it with either hardmod or will hourglass9 still boots.
Don't feel playing "guinea pig" on that one.

2DS works fine for the most part, as it is the same as an o3DS, it's similar enough that instead of making a separate firmware, they just updated the o3DS files to support the 2DS hardware. The only real issues are the top screen being stretched and the lack of a 3d slider making it impossible to get past the setup screen.

When you said M2 are you referring to the devlopers who does the sega 3D classis ports to the 3DS?

Yes, the very same ones.

The 2DS is based on O3DS hardware but was release on 6.x and if you get it to a FW 6.x and above, the 3D softbrick won't happen.

Only thing I'm trying to do is retracing the work I've done when downgraded to 2.1 on the OLD guide.
The N3DS was working with the unbricked 2.1 only to get the OTP and never worked with A9LH installed.

If it launches with A9LH now, people who, by chance loose their OTP (for exemple) can now get it back without much hassle. (Me thinks)

I am not asking to proove anything but how do you know they did? Usually if they were involved, their company brand would be somewhere to recognize. All 3DS sega classics, have the logo splashscreen in the games, the sega games on PSN and xbla also have it. Even the NEO GEO Games ON PSN have it. But no GBA games have the logo.

You mean like Nintendolife? Or even right here? Or their own website ?

So is only the wii u Port of GBA, not the 3DS, correct? I'm glad to know that they are making this possible. Especially super mario advance 4 with the E-reader levels
Been hoping for some of the GBA games like that mario or megaman battle network games to be on 3DS, the extra content is what baiting me in. Unlike most ports, the one i am proud of most are only by M2

AFAIK, A9LH won't fix this. The N3DS 2.1 sleep brick apparently damages something in the power management hardware, not the NAND.

Yes, just the emulator for Wii U GBA VC. The 3DS doesn't use emulation for it's GBA VC games.

Huh, so it is like the LED brick?

Tried to fix an online connectivity error by updating the arm9loaderhax.bin, my 2ds wouldn't boot so I went back to my old bin and now I'm stuck at the config screen. It will not save my choices, just refreshes without moving on.

See my response to your issue on github, boot the 6.1.2 bin an re-apply your settings.

I did, it's not working. it freezes and won't load, I waited five minutes with no changes and then turned it off. I got a black screen on power up, then changed the bin back to my original 5.1.2 and the config screen showed up but has the same problem as my early post

Thank you very much! It worked! It also fixed the connectivity issue I was having before!

Hello Aurora Wright I have a question, is possible to add a patch like the svc access but to permit the SD access in all the apps?

 

[devleon]

Is acess to the MVD Service enabled in Luma3DS?
Whenever I try to run the MVD Service Example, mvdstdInit() returns 0xd8e06406.
I'm running it via the homebrew menu via the homebrew menu launcher.

Updated Luma through the system menu and now my 3ds powers up blank.

I have al9h installed. How do I get the old luma back so my system will boot again?
