@capito27 I had exact same problem as described in this post (so it's not only one) on one of my friend O3DSXL SYSNAND 9.2.0-20U. The problem is: HBL loads well (so far 100% success) through browserhax. Then from HBL loads PASTA CFW for ninjhax 2, still %100 success. When loading HBL through browserhax in PASTA CFW mode, on bottom it loads past the yellow screen into grey screen then stuck there (Tried 10+ times, same result every single times).

Additional info: this is the same O3DSXL (the only one I know of) that can't be used the rxTools FBI injection function on SYSNAND 4.x.

Other than this particular O3DSXL, other O3DSXL work well with the PASTA CFW for ninjhax 2.

How do I boot my 3DS into Pasta CFW without having to go to Ninjhax every time? I have 7.1 BTW and is there anyway to make this more convenient? Like install the Homebrew Menu as a CIA file perhaps?

You need to update SYSNAND to 9.0 or 9.2 so you can use PASTA CFW for ninjhax 2.

Then:

1. Download the latest boot.3dsx (ninjhax 2) from https://smealum.github.io/ninjhax2/boot.3dsx . Copy the boot.3dsx onto root of the SD.
2. Dowload the PastaCFW files : http://jheberg.net/captcha/pastacfw-for-ninjhax2-90-92/ . Create 3ds folder on root of the SD. Copy the PastaCFW folder inside the 3ds folder.
3. Setup Browserhax : https://gbatemp.net/threads/yellows8s-browserhax-thread.398132/
4. Launch the HBL with browserhax.
5. Choose the PastaCFW
6. Enjoy!

Additionally, to use install Themehax/HomemenuHax:

1. Go to Home Menu Settings (the House icon on top left of the bottom screen) -> Change Theme -> Wait for the data to be created -> Exit back to Home Menu. Right now, it's not supporting custom themes (at least for common users) so better leave/restore it default.
2. Download the latest unofficial Themehax 1.3 here :https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-homemenuhax.398124/page-23#post-5717329 . This is untethered version so you don't need internet access in case you need to reinstall later.
3. Copy "themehax_installer" folder from inside the zip you just downloaded, into "3DS" folder on your mSD
4. Start HBL using Browserhax.
5. Install ThemeHax (you can configure how you want trigger Themehax by just following on-screen instructions. If leave default, when turn on the 3DS, you need to hold L to trigger HBL). Now you are free to delete browserhax by reset the browser.
6. To launch PASTA CFW: when turn on your 3DS, depended on how you set up trigger, launch HBL. Then choose PASTA CFW. Enjoy!

Never mind. There's still nobody can convert PASTACFW.3dsx into cia one. You still need to be in a HAX mode to able to launch unsigned CIA. So the above steps is pretty much the same thing!

You seem to be under the impression that PASTA is still in development, it isn't. Use rxTools.
I use (install for my nephews and friends) rxTools. The thing is there is someone ( @capito27 ? )wrote this for Pasta CFW for ninjhax 2, which is used as stepping stone to install other CFW (include rxTools) on N3DS without flashcart, OOT, CN. This kind of PASTA CFW is very easy to install (just copy and drag) once you got browserHax (not looking for firm.bin...).

Now I and the 1 other person (maybe more in the future) got problem, I think I should let @capito27 . A fix on this may save people a lot of trouble. Imagine you get an exploitable N3DS and you can't use this PASTA CFW to install other CFW. Then, you end up having to buy CN, OOT, flashcart for one time use!!!

How do I update SysNAND to 9.2?
https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-...om-4-1-8-1-to-9-2-0-20-with-pasta-cfw.389187/

Few note:

1. Don't use sysupdater 0.4b
2. Make sure you downloaded the correct firmware for your region, model (O3DS vs N3DS)
3. Remember to disable firmlaunch before update if using PASTA CFW
4. Since 3DNUS doesn't download older firmware anymore, Google "[MEGA] [CIA/BIN] MSET 4.X & 6.X backups, Browser backups, Update packs (All Regions)". You should be able to find the firmware on that site.

Well, the thing is that I didn't wrote that port for ninjhax 2, thus can't really help with that, but have you tried using the CTR boot manager to launch the pastaCFW payload? Chances are it could work, but not sure.

Is it compatible with an hax2.5?
There's an unofficial version called miniPasta that works on FW 9.0 - 9.2. There's a topic with your same question that has the version posted. You can use the search box above to search the topic (I'm currently on a phone and I can't post links here).
