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

What did you change? Simply /rei/installeda9lh or something else?

I changed the source code and built my own. I don't need any flags. No button presses required either. It just does exactly what I want when I turn on the console.

Oh, it would be nice if you could share it and much better than my current solution

@Plailect On this guide - https://github.com/Plailect/OTP/blob/master/Old_3DS_Spider.md
Section IV No. 4 it says restore your sysNAND from sysNAND.bin. I had to rename the file to NAND.bin because Decrypt9 didn't recognise it.

EDIT: never mind you've sorted it out.

@Plailect I still see that 'Python 3.5.1' is needed in both O3DS guides, but it is never used. Just something left over from the n3DS guide?

 

[LooneyElsa]

So um.. got my OTP.
arm9loaderhax page suggest that if I compile it with my otp along with other 3 warez files it outputs a 3dsx file which does exactly what?
Anyone can explain how do I get reinand to coldboot with a9lhax on my n3dsxl?

Compile the 3dsx and run it from Sysnand homebrew launcher. This installs a9lh (See AuReiNand Mod for a bootable CFW).

 

[Tommy084]

Great tut, thanks a lot.
Got both o3ds and n3ds to give me OTP.bin.
Didt Even need to downgrade emunand on o3ds, couse its not linked.

 

[Günni]

I would not use a emuNAND.
Is there a possibility that it boots directly into the sysNAND?
without the need to hold the L trigger
for (reiNAND)

Thanks, going through compiling tut as I type this. I hear the good ol reinand has a9lhax support too but it's not in the OP he posted it somewhere in the thread any info on that?

"Updating the boot code because there's a (hypothetical) hard-bricking bug, for example."

FYI, i read this in the arm9loader thread in respect to arm 9 loader by delebile. Apparently darksamus3 ver of arm9 loader does not have this hard-brickibg bug.

Anyone shed more light on whats going on?

Thanks

Nothing is going on. You didn't read the thread and quoted out of context.

He was having a conversation with someone listing a reason why he'd want to uninstall a9lh, not saying there is a bug.

 

[DjoeN]

Oke! last O3DS(XL) done (4 done (1x 2DS / 1x O3DS / 2x O3DSXL))
Only 1 N3DS and 1 N3DSXL to go (and 1 Bricked N3DSXL to get fixed)

Since i bricked the first attempt on the N3DSXL, bit holding off on the other N3DS(XL) systems.
(those are not hardmodded)

 

[cavolo]

Personnaly, the dump goes fine, and I have bricked when loading arm9loaderhax haha.
I'll hardmod tonight.

Thanks for the very well structured guide.
Successfully dumped my OTP on N3DSXL EU.

Basic understanding question:
Does the hack get installed to the actual NAND or somewhere infront of it (like BootMii on Wii)?
I´m asking, because I wonder if it gets overwritten when I restore a older sysNAND.bin?

Yes, basically this is how you remove A9LH.

 

[hirvimies]

Thanks for this easy to follow guide Plailect, it helped me get my OTP from N3DS. Restoring the system as I'm writing this.

I had one minor problem though, this was when extracting OTP via dukesrg. I first tried to boot without the SD and then extract but that never worked, only noticed one flash and nothing more.Didn't work with gamesquests github either, also checked the SD for any a9f.bin. So I had to delete the extdata as your guide says. Just letting you know that booting 2.1 without the SD then reinserting it didn't work for me.

Anyway, thanks again. Will evaluate this hack then probably do the same procedure to my N3DS XL.

EDIT: Should mention I downgraded from Rei 10.5 with no problem.

If anybody want, I'm available to compile for people.
