I'm on 2DS 7.2.0-17E w/rxTools (not booted) and emuNAND (not booted also)

(I heard somewhere that 7.2.0 had some problems with Ninjhax ARM access maybe it's the problem...)

Does it boot without any patches?
 
If i boot Cubic Ninja without patches it still freezes and i can't access Brahma either (can't run ARM9)

Wait - you're trying to boot Cubic Ninja after booting Cakes? Of course you won't be able to boot Cubic Ninja like that if you don't have the right firmware.bin.
If you're trying to boot Cakes with Cubic Ninja (thus, starting fresh), then all I can do right now is tell you that Brahma has always been kind of a weird entry point that freezes when "Booting..." under certain circumstances I can't quite put my finger on.
That said, considering you have 7.2, you could just use the web browser (and if it's unavailable, install it with Pasta).

Anyway , i'll try with the browser , thanks for the help.
 
Hum, with N3DS 9.2 sysnand via spider I have a cakes.dat infinite loading, this is normal?
(last version, cakes85), thanks for your help!

There is no SPIDER on N3DS. (SKATER, indeed)
So, you can't use browser to enter the cfw.
You have to use either ninjhax or downgraded MSET entry.
 
Ninjhax not working for N3DS 9.2, Cakes85.
I can see it on the ninjhax menu, with the cake picture and all, but after that black screen when I click on it.
 
Hum...
I guess that this is here where I'm wrong.
When I load the exploit (ninjhax), 2.1 is displayed. so I'm probably not with 1.1 ninjhax.
But I can't access the website to get the QR code for 1.1? Because I guess that this is not the same as the QR code for 2.1, and I can't open smealum's site right now, it seems offline.

Can you use savedatafiler?
 
when I try to launch something from the sysnand, it says that I have to re-download it from E-Shop, if this is the question.
And I checked again, it's Ninjhax 2.1b that I have running.
EDIT: Ok, so it's working, now!
Indeed I was with a wrong boot.3dsx and a wrong QR code. Nothing on smea pages tells you if it's 1.1 or anything else, so I made a mistake.

the CFW booted well. I'll try some gba game to see if it works, thank you for your help MassExplosion123 and CreativeMan!

EDIT: Flawless. GBA game sysnand launched like a charm.
This CFW is doing what we expect him to do. congratulation to the team, guys this is perfect!

This is by far the best CFW for N3DS as of this writing.
I've tried Reinand and Rxtools, while both firmwares boot fine, it sometimes freezes or hangs up.
Cakesfw boots 100% on my end and never freezes... so far.

I'm using a US N3DS XL with firmware 9.0.

Thanks!
