Full Guide Release!

https://plailect.github.io/OTP/

All regions now supported!

If you appreciate this guide and the work I put into maintaining it, I accept donations through both Bitcoin and PayPal.

If you felt like the guide helped you out then I'd really appreciate it! If I get enough I may buy a 2DS for testing hardware stuff so I don't break another N3DS.

If the guide didn't help you out then I'm really sorry about that

yes, then go to sysUpdater and downgrade I guess, unless something else needs to be done (haven't tried this on new myself)

Thanks buddy. SD card all set, just dumping sysnand now ready to get started!

got a cheapo 15bucks fine tip iron, was enough to do my N3DS mod

Don't they get too hot to burn the board or nah?

That's what I would worry about. At least with a reputable hardmod installer you know they have the right equipment as well as the skill to do it.

i got the one with the lowest power usage (15 W) i could find, it didn't burn anything, even when i stuggles at the beginning

The problem with a lower powered iron though is that you might have to leave the iron on the solder for longer to get a good joint, which could damage the board. Though I could be giving biased information on the basis of my terrible soldering ability and horror stories of soldering anything other than wire to wire

OK, because other than a 3DS hardmod, I also want to RGH my xbox, install openwrt on my routers etc, which all require soldering. I do know how to solder, but not to SMD boards... I will practice on my old BT homehub 3 before my 3DS

I wait for other users with more experiance as i have with HexEditing

Well, I've done a lot of hexediting already, I used to mod bioses @ www.bios-mods.com and I can tell you that you have indeed selected the first 0x200 bytes from the file...

I get a black screen when opening decrypt9. I booted to sysnand, ran HBL using CN, and launched D9 straight away. I've tried rebooting but it does the same again. Any ideas why this is?

CN? I used browserhax on sysnand. Decrypt9 loaded fine. Did you get the latest build? https://mega.nz/#!kl0xyQjI!NrUoYYPGbQGsWtsVDIVlJKYQhqqcF9Z0lqWLWmnSeeA

Backing up my NANDs now.

I think there was a build of Decrypt9 that included a feature not yet in the newest release. are you using that?

 

[mashers]

@Audioboxer @ihaveamac
I'm using the one linked to from the OTP guide. I'm using Cubic Ninja because it seems more convenient than BrowserHax (which I've never used actually).

@Nintendo4DSXL
Thanks! I just kept trying and eventually it worked

 

[WilliamO7]

My nands are backed up, sysupdater CIA is installed on sysnand, now in pasta mode.
Do I push that button?... OMG...

 

[lpchaim]

Thank you for this, although it's not something I'll try right now. Just got my n3dsxl and I'm not modding it yet.
I'm holding out hope for that brute force method I heard of for the n3ds that apparently doesn't require messing with the sysnand.

That requires a hard mod IIRC.

Oh. Guess I'll mod it if it comes down to this then.
