If you want to get the TWL and AGB stuff to decrypt once you have Cakes working without it (if anyone else reading this needs regular firmkey.bin, a link is provided by the A9LH tutorial, btw), there's an extremely easy solution. Put the TWL and AGB files on a separate folder on your SD card, boot Cakes, move the files over using CTRXplorer or Godmode9, and warm reboot back into Cakes (enter System Tools and exit). It works.

Apparently Cakes needs part of the OS that isn't loaded yet when A9LH boots in order to decrypt from a cetk file. Since the 3DS doesn't automatically reset RAM on a warm reboot, the second time works. But it has to be able to boot first. Hence the need to move the files.

i am a fool.
as a result, I accidentally installed the April Fool's release.
(It's my first attempt at custom firmware)
After the heart attack and disappointment in myself passed, I'm sitting here wondering how far back I have to go to uninstall this and re-install using the last stable build.

The previous build doesn't have it

so I just replace the Cake files with the earlier build?

Yup

Yup

thanks!

 

[pbanj]

Np. It's also how you update the cfw

One kind of stupid question: where should I place that .cakes file that allows it to run region free games? In the root of the patches folder?

All cakes must be in the patches folder.

Running the latest nightly just hangs on "Patching..." for me.

I can confirm Rev162 doesn't boot. Stuck at "Patching."

 

[laharl22]

For me it boot with keeping the previous firm files

Could you tell me about the latest three lines on the bottom screen?

 

[Serfrost]

Well, I went down to Rev158 and I'm fine now. I'll try Rev162 again in a bit and I'll post results; it may have been the .cakes conflicting with the inability to use the CETK's.

One thing
Another thing
Yay scrolling?

Rev162 works fine. Any plans on implementing ntr n3ds cpu functions?
