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

Same thing happened to me, A hardmod is the easiest fix

If you can't even boot recovery mode then you've somehow possibly downgraded system NAND. Sorry for your loss. Time for hardmod or get someone to do one.

Can any of you point me towards anything? Thanks.

A guide or a hardmodder

Don't do this without a hardmod. Those who pointed you here saying you don't need one, are just looking to make you break things.

Great. thank you!

Great. thank you!

That's obviously for old xl. Maybe search YouTube for the specific console you have if your doing it yourself.
Pin outs here too

I mean, it is possible without one, but if you read it it does say one is highly recommended.

I know, I was hesitant to even touch it until someone who I had trusted prior ensured me that things had been ironed out.

The guide is fine, I just did something stupid and that's on me, I know that.
This is why I quantified with 'Those who were pointed here'

I'd say the OTP guide is pretty safe, even my O3DS which bricked did so on the A9LH, only issue with OTP was SysUpdater on EmuNAND until I updated that to 10.X.
That said, it's not for the feint of heart, or noobs.

That's a pretty ignorant statement. Yes, if you are a complete noob to the scene then I wouldn't recommend doing this until it's really streamlined. But if you know what you are doing and can follow directions correctly then you can get your OTP without a hard mod, you just have to have patience.

Alright I'm out before this turns stupid. Good luck, have fun.

Section I - Prep Work - done, no problem
Section II - Downgrading - done, no problem
Section III - Getting the OTP - done, no problem, OTP.BIN created
Section IV - Restoring the System - done, no problem
arm9loaderhax.3dsx compiled - no errors

Install success, new3ds xl turns off > new3ds xl dead, doesn't turn on, removing microSD, lit is on, still no booting.

Lucky i have a HardwareMod installed a few days ago, recovered it by installing backup sysnand, any suggestions?

Does it turn on ,then off? If so its installed properly but theres nothing to boot to so that means you don't have aureinand installed,kinda like having menuhax without having boot.3dsx on the sd card

Is there a way to revert the function? Per default normal sysnand and a button to load cfw?

Set up AuReiNand, it has two setups you can do:

1. Run emuNAND by default, L to load sysNAND with FIRM from SD like Gateway mode, or R to load sysNAND with 9.x FIRM
2. Run sysNAND by default (see the thread for how to do this) and then the button combos load emuNAND with different settings: L for FIRM 9.x, R for FIRM from SD.

The problem is, AuReinand doesn't boot, it blackscreens. The new3DS only boots with R Trigger :/

Restore a NAND backup before install a9hl

I don't want to boot AuReinand per default, i want to boot sysNAND and only boot a CFW with button.

You can't always get what you want~~

You can't always get what you want~~

You can't always get what you want~~But if you try sometimes....you get emunand!

Just set up reinand for now- use emunand and wait for the options you want to be developed.


Or follow aureinand tut here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-swap-sysnand-and-emunand-arm9loaderhax-only.415724/

Well, no matter how you look at it, you'll be booting CFW into sysNAND or CFW into emuNAND with A9LH. That being said, it sounds like you have a bad or wrong firmware file if you're getting black screens.
