Switch CFW tutorial to focus on ReiNAND?

  • Switch to ReiNAND (Lighter footprint, seems to work better in most systems, native regionfree TBD)

Is the cakesFW emunand firmware supposed to just say ver. 9.2.0-20U? How can I tell it's on emunand and not sysnand? I get the cakesFW boot screen, go to select patches, check everything (such as enable emunand, disable signature checks, etc), and then boot the CFW. Then when I go to system settings it still shows the firmware as ver. 9.2.0-20U. There's nothing to indicate it's on emunand as opposed to sysnand. I can't find anything online either showing how to confirm if cakesFW emunand installed correctly or not.

Is there any way I can check? I'm not going to try working with or updating my 'emunand' at all unless I'm 100% sure it's emunand.

Hey man,I unlinked my NANDs and formatted my emuNAND from this toturial.The problem is both system's NNID are different now.Are there any possibility to restore my NNID in emuNAND?

Can I use "injection" function in rxtools to restore sysNAND's backup to emuNAND ?
Make both system's NNID same.
Thanks.:)

Ps. I'm o3DS

Sorry,my English isn't very well :P

I don't dabble with NNIDs very often, but theoretically reformatting your emuNAND through emuNAND9 would overwrite everything and give you your sysNAND NNID on it.
It's physically impossible for one NNID to be linked to more than one 3DS system, so if that's what you're after, give up, it won't work.

Cakes does not have version string patching. All I can tell you is this:
Once you go into System Settings after knowing you're on CFW, it's safe to update. If you leave System Settings, it's no longer safe to update.
As for how you know you're on CFW whilst setting emuNAND up, that's a matter of holding L during CakesFW boot to go into the menu and verifying that the emuNAND patch is enabled, then booting to it and going into System Settings without hesitating.
And yes, I'm aware of how slightly worrisome that is, but as long as the emuNAND patch is enabled, it's good to go.
After that, it's a matter of seeing that your version is higher than 9.2.

It happens to me too, but with rxTools. I do boot in emunand, but sometimes when I go to system settings, it says firm is 9.2.0-20U instead of "RX-E". It does not happens all the time, but it's annoying cause it doesn't let me install cia files with any of the installers (FBI, Dev, BBM). Yes, my NANDs are unlinked. Please help me!
 
I'm having a bit of a problem over here. I got my n3DS 9.2 cia pack from that iso site but the checksum isn't matching up. It should be e5f40c3b155cfd12ef38be35d2e81d2e but online md5 and other sites keep spitting out E6339468A1E82B1D50E9222F017C0477. I tried downloading the file through a different browser, but still no luck and I certainly don't want to risk another brick.
 
I've had a strange bug with emuNAND. I (stupidly) formatted my system with the SD card removed because I wanted to try and fix a bug I had in sysNAND when failing to properly inject FBI into it. After I did the procedure to get menuhax and CTRBooter going again, I noticed that all of my titles in emuNAND were rewrapping themselves every launch. I read that this is because they were linked, so I assumed that the sysNAND got relinked after formatting it.

I used TinyFormat again and it unlinked the two and fixed the title wrapping issue, but NOW there's a strange bug where ithe titles I previously hhad are gone after the format, but still taking up space on my SD card somehow. I can't locate them in FBI by ID, and I don't know where to look to find them on my SD card on PC. Any help would be appreciated!

I feel like it might be due to using tinyformat in EmuNANd removing the Nintendo ID the .cias were related to.

It's possible that the checksums changed because of the update packages being tampered with.
I can't exactly check their validity, so all I can really point you towards is 'look into it further'.
According to this thread, the package might be good.

In other news: Just refactored the entire guide to streamline the process and get rid of unnecessary wordiness.
Most I really did was collapse the downgrade/update guides and the 4.0-8.1/9.0-9.2 guides into one for convenience's sake.

Yeah the package actually was good. SafeSysUpdater gave me the all clear and I had a successful downgrade on a 10.3U n3ds
 
I am having an issue where my go.sh will not run properly anyone know the reason for this?

It is a constant hs.app not found really annoying

some great info here, thanks op!

i regret not up/downgrading an 8.1 o3dsxl and 10.3 o3ds when 10.3 was still the newest. now i have to mess around with browserhax and dns blocking, stuff i wouldn't have been aware of if not for this tutorial :)

yes along with the fbi.cia

Okay, I have one guess as to what's up with it:
Does the directory tree you're running 'go' from have any spaces in it?
Try putting it directly in your drive root before running it if that's the case.
Spaces in directory names are the bane of every script's existence.

I have no clue what you mean. It keeps giving me the error that I did not make hs.app
