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

Read all pages from 20 to here.

Has someone intel whether there is a "less likely to brick" way to get OTP being developed?

I'm working on it.

 

[AtlasFontaine]

I got the OTP and restored my console, now I need to compile the arm9loaderhax :T

 

[Selver]

Hey if anything it sets a precedent if us numbskulls can do it, everyone can

I know tucked away in the secret lairs of IRC right now chat rooms are laughing at us noobs asking what to do with OTP.bin. Give us some cred for avoiding bricks! Hahaha

I think we should give credit to those who made it possible to avoid the bricks. Of course, that's just me....

Does it matter what size microsd/SD you use to perform this. I currently have a 64GB card.

 

[Selver]

Did 9.2.0-20E => 2.1.0-4E => Dumped OTP => back to 9.2.0-20E without any hardmod on a New 3DS. Had to eject the SD card before booting 2.1.0-4E and reinject it while it was booting, too.

For your N3DS upgrade from 2.1.0-4E to 9.2.0-20E, did you use the D9 build w/spiderhax?

For your N3DS upgrade from 2.1.0-4E to 9.2.0-20E, did you use the D9 build w/spiderhax?

Yes, I did. I used the 2.1 Spider RSA_VERIFY.

Does it matter what size microsd/SD you use to perform this? I currently have a 64GB card. Also do sys and emu nands have to be linked? Mine are unlinked.

 

[Mrrraou]

Does it matter what size microsd/SD you use to perform this?

Yes. You need to use SD or SDHC cards. SDXC cards won't work.

 

[Xenon Hacks]

Im stuck and dont know how to use make...

 

[Mrrraou]

Im stuck and dont know how to use make...

You need to run that 3dsx in Pasta Mode sysNAND.

 

[Xenon Hacks]

You need to run that 3dsx in Pasta Mode sysNAND.

oh so normal sysnand is no good.

You need to run that 3dsx in Pasta Mode sysNAND.

So nothing is happening im gonna try booting rxTools instead. Does it matter if im using CTRbootmanager?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

ayyyy its working

 

[stl25]

Yes. You need to use SD or SDHC cards. SDXC cards won't work.

Thanks I appreciate your reply. Are sys and emu nands required to be linked or unlinked. Guide does not specify.

 

[Xenon Hacks]

aww I bricked

 

[Stack3r]

In the tutorial it says to backup and copy your emunand.bin and other files to /decrypt9/ folder, but for me when i did the backup it backed up everything to my root, do i need to make that folder or can i just move my files to the root?

 

[Xenon Hacks]

Is this hit or miss atm?

 

[runetoonxx2]

And I .............























Didn't brick 0-0 yay got otp

 

[Mrrraou]

aww I bricked

lol, is it powering down when you power it on ?

 

[Xenon Hacks]

lol, is it powering down when you power it on ?

yup, gonna restore nand and give it another go.

 

[Mrrraou]

yup

It's not a brick. Place arm9loaderhax.bin on your SD card and it will run it (without LCD tho)

 

[Xenon Hacks]

It's not a brick.

Then what is it? I already have my OTP and arm9loaderhax.3dsx but cant boot without an MSD?
