The network that I am on will not let me load 3dbrew.org. I keeps timing out and honestly has been that way for as long as I can remember. Do you know of any other site that has the title ID's?

Well, that 3dsbrew page is public info, so they can't possibly get mad if I share it. (Besides, there's zero actual sensitive data there.) Here's the current version of that page saved as HTML only (no CSS or anything, not that it does MUCH, but I'm keeping this minimal, so it looks a tad funny without it but works just fine.)

No clue about ylws8.mtheall.

Thanks!! Also if you google ylws8.mtheall you actually get nothing. First time I have ever seen that.

EDIT: My download of the 9.2U files failed so I had to restart. 40 minutes left before I can start the region change process. I will let you know how it goes.

Thank you so much for all the help.

Here are the key Japanese titles in case anyone searches this or something:
00020000 - System settings app
00020300 - Health and safety O3DS
20020300 - Health and safety N3DS
00020400 - Camera
00020500 - 3DS Sound (may not duplicate)
00020700 - Mii Maker
00020800 - Mii Plaza
00020900 - eShop
00020B00 - Nintendo Zone
00020D00 - Face Raiders O3DS
20020D00 - Face Raiders N3DS
00020E00 - AR Games

Some of these don't strictly have to be deleted, but it's cleaner if you do I suppose. Be really sure you're ready before deleting mset though! I've probably also missed something, but, like I said, these are the key things that get in the way. I'm not sure about the sound app though. I don't recall it duplicating off the top of my head. Well, it should be installed by the CIAs if you do it right anyway and it won't crash the system to not have it there.

I've learned a few things during this process. One of which is if you have the SecureInfo_B on your system instead of A you can not use rxTools to inject it, but it does work with Decrypt9.

I managed to change the region but I got the keyboard error so it looks like I have to do it again. It's mildly frustrating.

EDIT: Mii Maker and Mii Plaza did not duplicate. So I am definitely doing something different.

Did you make sure to remove those titles mentioned in the post you linked to from the update CIAs before doing the actual update process?

Sure did. I think it is because I am using the packs from "the site" it did not have some of the files it told me not to install. The 00048 ones or something like that but I won't be able to get any other files for another week or so do to some internet restrictions.

And no, I'm not in prison or anything like that.

EDIT: I also did not do a system format after the region change. That could be it too.

EDIT 2: It's not the system format. I guess I can try again next week. Also just noticed I was not doing a lateral shift. I was going from 9.1J to 9.2U. I will try a 9.1U when I can.

FINAL EDIT: I was going through this thread again to make sure I wasn't missing something. Did you go from 9.1J to 9.0U?

No. I did 9.1J to 9.1U. You want to change to the same exact version if at all possible. It may be better to go forward if you can't go to exactly the same. Another trick I did was to extract the versions from the previous N3DS firmwares I could find in order, overwriting in each case so that if anything was left out in one it should include it. The system format is also something you will need to do, though I think maybe I was able to rename folders before the system format this final time. I also didn't have a 00048005 file though, so don't worry about that.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I threw in all the updates I could find starting with O3DS updates to make sure there were hopefully zero missing titles. I did them in order starting from the lowest one they had and overwriting with each extraction so it would ensure it always used the newest version of every title and when I caught up to the N3DS versions did only them from there. This did leave me with the O3DS version of Face Raiders which was really stubborn as it would slip out of any folder I put it in on every reboot, but I've deleted it and good riddance. That would be 00021D00 for the US one that was being so stubborn.

That sounds like the perfect region change pack. You should upload that to MEGA or something and put it on "the site".

I'm still downloading 9.1U.

I merged the 9.0U and 9.1U updates (9.1 overwrote everything from 9.0) and deleted the unwanted cia's but it still crashes when I try to rename a folder. I am also not getting any of the Mii channels duplicated.

I am going to take a break now. It is almost 2am here and I have already lost too much sleep over this.

Anyone update their region changed N3ds emunand to 10.3 with the new reinand or cakecfw and get US 9.6 crypto'd stuff to work? Japanese 9.6 stuff works on my J emunand, but US stuff doesn't seem to on either (even after freemultilauncher on J emunand)

Any theories @cearp?

He was talking about the SecureInfo injection though.

Did you delete the key titles BEFORE installing the region swapped CIAs?

BTW, as far as what I did to try to make sure there would be no missing titles, remember, I didn't start from 9.0. I merged O4.2, O4.5, O5.0, O6.1, O7.2, O8.1, N9.0, and N9.1 overwriting each time with the newer over the older all from the files in the same folder shared on that site. Then I removed the titles they said to exclude (I actually moved them to another folder just in case) and then I went through the process to remove the Japanese titles on my N3DS, then finally I installed the CIAs from the region change set I'd built using sysUpdater (since nothing else will batch install without completely freaking out a third of the way for me and manual installing them freaks out about half of the way I presume as the home or something gets changed. This is why sysUpdater reboots the system instead of returning to the host software...) I think I went with the "update" option so it wouldn't overwrite same version duplicate titles.

I got New 3DS LL, if a change emunand region is possible to update normally ?
Yes, I think so. But remember, for now you need to stay on an emuNAND no higher than 9.5, so you'll want to update with a ROM for now. (Note that it's tricky to do this. I'm not sure if it's safe in rxTools, but in Gateway you have to hold the up button on the d-pad while starting GW mode or else it won't work right at all and could brick the emuNAND. I couldn't find any info on updating in rxTools and I still have GW, so I just used it to be on the safe side. Plus I didn't want to install such a massively uninteresting game on my system just to update anyway, lol.)
time to wrote new tutorial about change emunand region. :yay3ds:
Look in the first page for the link that was given to me.

I did delete the cia's before installing.

Did you use gateway to run sysupdater or did you use rxtools?

The Mii channels are not duplicating because there were never any updates for the N3DS. I would have to get the titles from an O3DS update. I think that the way you did it is the only "correct" way to region change. I will download the pack from "the site" next week when I have real internet.

EDIT: I was reading that a lot of people had problems with the eshop after region changing. Thought I would let you know.
