Tutorial More-or-less Catch-All Tutorial

Me too. One of the three files is a firm.bin. Should I use this one?

Ok quick question with the rx-tools setup for O3DS;

on this step:

"firmware.bin:
O3DS: Downloadable through the following Windows .bat script:"

I got that script to work ok, but after it completed it still gave me 3 files back and not one single
"firmware.bin" file which is needed in the next step... Please help...

My mistake, formatting on the script got messed up somewhere along the way and 4 lines got crunched up into 1.
Try this:

@ECHO OFF
bitsadmin /transfer FIRM /priority high http://nus.cdn.c.shop.nintendowifi.net/ccs/download/0004013800000002/00000049 "%~dp0\firm.bin"

pause
bitsadmin /transfer AGB /priority high http://nus.cdn.c.shop.nintendowifi.net/ccs/download/0004013800000102/00000016 "%~dp0\agb.bin"

del"%~dp0\firm.bin"
del"%~dp0\twl.bin"
del"%~dp0\agb.bin"
pause

Don't understand. Do all the files found in the folder go root of the SD card? Downgraded. Backup Sysnand. Created emunand. Stuck at 12 and can't launch Homemenu Browser. Is RxTools installing at every boot natural?

rxTools performing Installation at every boot is not normal; there was a way to fix this through downloading the files the installation data suite is supposed to spit out, but I can't link those.
The FBI .app and .tmd files corresponding to what Advanced > Install FBI > emuNAND > Check TMD tells you go in the SD card root.

That did it.... space between the " " and the breaks - I wonder if anyone else fixed it themselves. xD

Is this the reason my emuNAND says it can't load NATIVE_FIRM 4 or w/e? I used the original firm.bin simply renamed firmware.bin thinking it'd work.

I have downgraded twice now to 9.2 (9.9 -> 10.3 -> 9.2 -> 10.3 -> 9.2) but browserhax just doesn't work on 9.2. I cleared the cookies/history/save data but all it does is crash with an "error occurred, restart system" message. I tried the QR code and typing the urls manually but nothing.

//edit I got it to work, just delete the cookies every single time before pressing the slider and it works.

 

[IpsoFact0]

ok so i got everything working but when i changed the theme on sysand i cant boot back into RXtools or HBL the menuhax stoped working any help???

 

[adiktus]

Menuhax depends on theme exploit. You change your theme, you remove menuhax.

I did xD
Got the firmware.bin, however I got a syntax error during the first "del" and had to delete the other 3 files myself.

Nice... I just finished installing rxTools... like 7 more SD card swaps to go bro! xD
Bout to unlink emunand and sysnand

 

[farcall]

Downgraded my o3ds from 10.3 to 9.2 successfully and setup emunand + rxtools. took me awhile though as i am completely new to all this 3ds stuff. i also had trouble with rxtools black screening when loading it from the CTRBootManager with menuhax. i think i created some sort of bootloop as i configured menuhax to trigger when L is NOT pressed (more or less autostart). using another unzipper then the onboard windows tool could also help

thanks for the guide!

Bout to unlink emunand and sysnand

I'm unsure of which NAND should I format to unlink them. I want to play Triforce Heroes online using the cia version on rxTools, but don't want to lose my NNID on sysNAND.
If I format my sysNAND can I link my NNID to it later? (I'm aware my friend list will get wiped)

I would never format my sysnand if I were you, but I'm still new to this. The point of unlinking your emunand from your sysnand is to update the emunand and keep your sysnand in tact. Beyond that I'm still new to CIA injection processes
and how they affect your NNID.

I guess I'm going to format emuNAND then, using system format under system settings should work (I don't see what's the point in using TinyFormat for this).
I've read here that NNID is still linked to your emuNAND regardless of which NAND you format.

Injected FBI, but now RXTools is blackscreening when trying to boot to emunand?

Old 3ds, downgraded fine, every step was perfect but when trying to use RX mode to boot EMUNAND it blacks screens,

Any help???

Yes, as Sgt Lulz stated, if you get a black screen, use the other older build of rx-tools and reinject the FBI.
(just overwrite the old folders, do not delete anything)
The same happened to me and this fixed it. O3DS though.

 

[DeathChaos]

Hmm, I seem to have a strange behavior with RxTools and DLC.

I remember purchasing some DLC for smash brothers some time ago, and I managed to get "all the current dlc" from that iso site, however, smash refuses to load any of it aside from the DLC i had previously purchased, which is strange because my NANDs are unlinked and my NNID has never been in my emuNAND until now.

You did read the instructions carefully, right?

CAUTION: Don't change your Home Menu theme after installing this, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Doing so will uninstall Menuhax and render it unusable. You can, however, install custom themes by dropping body_LZ.bin and bgm.bcstm into the menuhax_manager folder and selecting Install custom theme.

My mistake, formatting on the script got messed up somewhere along the way and 4 lines got crunched up into 1.

As in the copy command reference, you should also specify the /b flag for every input. Making it

copy "%~dp0\firm.bin" /b + "%~dp0\twl.bin" /b + "%~dp0\agb.bin" /b "%~dp0\firmware.bin"

As I had some problems with unsuccessful downloads, I wrote a powershell script with some error handling. You can use this if you want.

Guys i have a big problem cant get it to work everytime i get a blackscreen on menuhax 2.1 if i try to start sysupdater.
On browserhax it starts sysupdater but i get always Failed to get Cia file info!
Does somone has a solution?
