Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[ManuelKoegler]

No 6.6 works fine in 11.3. There are a few new features in development but if you don't need them no need to update to nightlies.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of features? And thank you!

From the top of my head there is payload menu and stuff for ROM hacking. You should go to the github page and read the commits to know more.
Personnaly I'm fine waiting for stable releases.

As far as I know, yes if you're on A9LH.

Is there a noob free way to verify/ check if i have a9lh installed?

Try to start a payload like Decrypt9 or Hourglass9 with the luma chainloading. If it boots you have a9lh for 100%.

Hey guys just wanted to make sure it was safe to update my 3ds's
I have a old3dsxl that has a modefied secure info A, a blank nnid save, and a modefied local friend code seed B, and was wondering if it was safe to update with those modefied files.(I have a9lhv2 and latest luma stable (6.6))
I also have a new 3dsxl that dosent have those modefied files (It has a9lhv3 and luma stable (6.6)) and my last question was should I update to luma nightly before updating or stay on stable?

It is safe to update to 11.3, but there's seriously no reason to do so. 11.3 adds nothing new to the system and was only made to make life harder for us. Plus with Luma3DS (and every other CFW) you can still go online and use other features with older OFWs.

I've got a N3DS running 11.2 A9LH and I'm trying to update to 11.3. Luma 6.6. I know the firmware doesn't offer anything new but I'd like to do it anyway. Problem is I'm consistently getting a "unable to update" error no matter what I do. I've tried two different access points (no DNS redirection or URL blocking) and I've also tried updating through recovery mode, as well as deleting the update data through the same method and then updating through system settings. Most people seem to solve the issue by removing any internet restrictions but I have none placed.

any help is greatly appreciated!

You set it up exactly how it's mentioned here. https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/blob/master/README.md

Also homebrew launcher updated to fix this. So yeah, you can safely update. I personally say it's not worth it because it doesn't add anything new.

I tried updating my luma3ds cfw to current stable 6.6, and its showing configuration is not found. Is there a way to fix this? I was trying to make the setting to appear (by holding select) but cant seem to do this too.

Well if you don't update, Nintendo blocks eShop access =) So there's that, unless you prefer booting up ctr-httpwn.

Was able to figure out how to configuration of luma3ds ( by holding select while turning on) what is the optimal setting of the configuration for old 3ds xl?

Use the (A) button and the D-Pad to turn on the following:

• “Autoboot SysNAND”
• “Use SysNAND FIRM if booting with R”
• “Show NAND or user string in System Settings”

• “Show NAND or user string in System Settings”

I always wanted to ask the meaning of “Use SysNAND FIRM if booting with R”.
Does that mean if I boot my n3ds while holding R, luma and a9lh wont boot? Or just luma only.

I think it means it'll boot your EmuNAND with SysNAND firm if you hold R while you boot.

On: uses the FIRM from SysNAND to boot EmuNAND with R (you usually can't boot a newer NAND with an older NATIVE_FIRM).

I enabled ErrDisp to see the contents of an error happening.
I am running NTR which could be facilitating this error and my own files.
I know which file is causing the error.
I do not know what the error is.

I do not have a detailed dump, just "FATAL ERROR" and the following:
PID: 0x00040000_0016AD00
REV: 61293
AID: 0x00040000_0016AD00
ADR: 0x0056920
RSL: 0xE0E046BC
Level: -4
Summary: 7
Module: 17
Desc: 700

This happened on the latest stable 6.6 and hourly (lumaupdater).
I am running 11.3 on an O3DS with a9lh luma.
