Homebrew Need help with freeShop and LumaUpdater on recently hardmoded o3ds

[haydibe]

Hi there,

i have a german o3DS which originaly had a 11.0-33E Firmeware.
Recently installed A9LH and Luma3DS 6.6 following the guide from https://3ds.guide.

I dumped the 11.0-33E NAND, downgraded to 2.1, installed A9LH, Hourglas9 and Luma3DS, restored NAND as SysNAND, updated fw to 11.3.
With Hourglass9, I injected FBI and installed FBI and re-injected the hs.app.
With FBI, I installed following CIAs: FBI, LumaUpdater 1.4.2, HBLauncher Loader 1.3, freeShop 2.2.0

When I start LumaUpdate the o3DS instantly freezes or bails out with an error message
When I start freeShop 2.2.0 the o3DS closes the app instantly, bails our with an error message or just freezes during cache update/check.

Oddly enough freeShop eventually ran exactly one time and allowed me to install some cias.
I never managed to get it working since!

Then I followed the freeShop thread to find out that there is an issue with german o3DS and freeShop.

I installed the suggested freeShop-unstable cia which might fix issues with german systems -> didn't change anything.
Then I downloaded the "data fix for freeShop 2.2.0.zip" from the freeShop thread, placed it on the SD card -> didn't change anything.

Uninstalled freeShop, changed the system language to english, reinstalled freeShop 2.2 -> messages were english now, but still same problem.
Did the same with freeShop unstable -> unchanged.

Almost gave up, then read that other guides do not recommend to update to FW11.3.
Used Hourglas9 to restore my NAND Backup. Since the restore deletes all installed CIAs, i had to repeat the FBI injection and install the other CIAs.

The result is allways the same: neither the lumaUpdate nor freeShop are running.

Did updating the FW to 11.3 after the A9LH installation cause the problem?
Are the parts an bits I used for the A9LH installation not working well together (used latest versions everywhere)?
Or is it just my german system that messes up everything?


Thanks,
haydibe

If u EXACTLY followed 3ds.guide it should be fine, but if its true that german system mess freeshop up, you could try using CIAngel, its similair to freeshop, although I havent tried it


EDIT: link to CIAngel https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-ciangel-download-good-cias-right-on-your-3ds.423326/

I followed the 3ds.guide exactly. I even switched to a nightly luma3ds build and it made no difference.

I am currious if others are able to use freeShop 2.2.0 or LumaUpdate 1.4.2 with the same A9HL binaries on 11.3.0... Both get stuck during a download and the resulting file has 0 bytes. Like there is some sort of permission problem that prevents writting the downloaded data to the sd card..

What confuses me about the guide is that the initial installation refers to install the latest SafeA9LHInstaller
from Plailect/SafeA9LHInstaller (which is version 2.06 from 7. Jan 2017) and the update points to AuroraWright/SafeA9LHInstaller (which is version v2.6.7 from 26. Nov 2016).
In both scenarios the arm9loaderhax porint to AuroraWright/arm9loaderhax (which is from 17. Oct. 2016).

The inital installation uses data_input_v3.zip, while the update uses data_input_v4.zip.

Just asking, but do you have the decTitleKeys.bin on your sd card? should be in /3ds/data/freeShop/keys

 

[haydibe]

I had encTitleKeys.bin there before. I added decTitleKeys.bin now as well.
Result is the same -> The loading wheel stops spinning at "Checking latest cache..."

Btw. all other CIAs i installed from CIAngel do work without a flaw.

Just freeShop and LumeUpdater hang when it comes to writting data to the sd card.
I do suspect the sd card itself... though, write acess is no problem for the ftp server from the homebrew launcher...

I think i know why LumaUpdate doesn't work:
If i use bash shell to query the api i get following information

X-RateLimit-Remaining is the Numbers of requests left until exceedance.
X-RateLimit-Reset is the unixtime when counter resets.

Seems like LumaUpdater misses a gracefull error handling on its part.

I used a network sniffer to find out that freeShop fetches it's cache from api.github.com as well.

Each time when i reset my internet connection, freeShop is able to update the cache once. When the cache auto update is disabled it start without any issues.
Seems like severall Docker-Container in my homelab are requesting to frequently from api.github.com resulting in an exceeded treshold for anyonymous access to the api.

Case closed.
