Hacking [Poll] Will you be installing ShadowNAND?

[Redferne]

No, shadownand is (going to be) a stage2 CFW. But I already am using a completed one

Are you willing or able to share more about that?

What he said :0

Waiting for a stable release

It's very stable (at least it was for me, and 3 other people), it just doesn't have the cfw yet.

 

[Shadowhand]

just use "their"

My pronouns are "salt/salt/salts" Joke aside, I'm a he.

Also, I see there's a lot of misconception and a metric shit ton of questions regarding ShadowNAND so I'll be creating an official thread in about a day or two, answering questions and taking input from the community.

EDIT: Completed stage2 CFW?..

Without a hard mod no

Sounds good, I just created this poll and added a bunch of info as I went, as people were asking a bunch of questions

How does ShadowNAND handle region changed consoles? If it has good support I'll consider it if I ever set up a9lh.

It's literally just an a9lh installer at the moment, but is just slightly safer.

ShadowNAND is just an A9LH installer atm. When the stage2 cfw comes out, it will most likely be region free, as we think it is based off saltfw, which is based off luma. I'm not sure about region changing however.

yea it seems very risky to mess with stage2...
I would only install it without hardmod when its tested and confirmed stable.

I'll just stick to AuReiNand then (I'm using an older version from before the change to Luma3DS, since that supports secureinfo reading).

It isn't a cfw yet. Just an a9lh installer. I installed it just fine, it's very stable, to my knowledge.

As of now, it is a version of A9LH. It lets you boot up arm9loaderhax.bin, safe_mode.bin (if you do anything to corrupt stage2) and provides error messages when booting without sd card/without arm9loaderhax.bin. In later versions, it will install a version of SaltFW to your NAND, so you can boot without your sd card.

That feeling when no one reads your posts.

Nope, booting without an SD card is not a feature I'm interested in.

Finally something useful on A9LH 2.0

How can stage2 get corrupted?

What do you mean?

 

[k3rizz3k]

What do you mean?

Well the feature list says protections from stage 2 damage/corruption. What would cause that?

That's mostly intended for developers then who may want to try installing their own stage2, if I had to guess.

Can I still use ctrbootmanager9 with this?

Of course, and you can use it as "safe_mode.bin" too.
