Hello everyone!
I successfully hacked my own newly acquired N3DS-XL (9.9.0.26U) using the 3DS Hacks Guide, well authored by Plailect. A friend's daughter had (long ago) tried & failed to do the same with her O3DS (11.1.0.34U); since it was still a vulnerable FW, I thought I would try and help her out. I followed the guide again, ran into a black or red screen fail at 'SafeHax' execution (no amount of re-running it changed anything) - where I assume she gave up.
Per the guide, I changed from r27 to r19 (ending up with a persistent 'PM INIT FAIL' error message - not caused by the wireless hardware being disabled), then tried every release (keeping a 3DS cartridge installed, where required). Later I found that the 'PM INIT FAIL' issue (with FWs in the '11.1-11.3' range) is also known - but without a solution ever having been made or at least documented.
Someone in 'TinyVi's 'Issues' (TiniVi/safehax/issues/42) suggested 'FastHax' as a replacement, so I tried that and it worked perfectly.
Problem is, it does not carry the process in the guide forward. I've read all the threads I can find w/'FastHax' mentioned, but they all seem to be guiding attempts at other things (downgrades, etc.), not just the initial hack on a 'fresh' console.
Anyone have any info or suggestions for carrying the process forward (i.e. getting the console to boot into SafeB9SInstaller/install boot9strap, then Luma, etc.) ?
Thank you!
