Okay, then this sounds like everything went normally.
After dumping OTP, you'll need to restore your previously backed-up SysNAND (9.2.0) using OTPHelper.

Basically that.
AFAIK, the problem with 2.1.0 not booting with the SD card in is caused by 2.1.0 not recognizing the Home Menu extdata from newer versions of the Home Menu, which is why it works if you remove the SD card.
Hey guys, so I am a bit stuck with the OTP helper. I have restarted the Plailect guide for getting the OTP twice (part 4) and I am getting the same result.
I go to troubleshooting, start godmode9 and if I understood correctly i should search for the folder in which I get the TMD error which in my case is:
Checking title 0004013800000102...
And if I go to my folders my last folder looks like this:
0004013800000202
So if I understand guide correctly I should check the hash on the files of the folder, in my case the one ending in 202, but how do I check the hashes?
I should be comparing it to this, i believe:
c91425f3fd4ad36218d7ebdfae92509a411bab4831c446d7207c0ccfaf1a99a2 0004013800000102.tmd
Any help would be really appreciated as I'm quite stuck here.

Title 00040138-00000102 is Old3DS TWL_FIRM. This might be caused by installing a patched TWL_FIRM.
TWL_FIRM isn't used by the 3DS except when starting DS(i) titles, so it "shouldn't" be a problem; however, I'd recommend reinstalling TWL_FIRM from the original file for the version of the FW you're using.

Thanks for the reply! So I did install a patched TWL_firm to use a DS cart, but I would have thought that when making a fresh install of FW 9.2 in my sysnand those files would have been deleted and/or replaced by the original TWL_firm files. Seems it did not work.
So my plan of action should be to install the original twl_firm files for my sysnand FW (9.2 in my case), or for the FW i'm downgrading to (2.1)? Sorry if its a stupid question but its late now and I prefer to ask than to screw up my downgrade.
EDIT: Oh, and what shoould I do with the 00000202 .tmd file?

I try to use the option "One Click Setup" in OTPHelper but always got this error:
"Validation Stage 0: FAILED" don't appear in troubleshooting guide, so...
What can i do?
Code:
You selected "One Click Setup".
This feature writes to the SysNAND.
Doing this is potentially dangerous!
If you wish to proceed, enter:
<Left>, <Up>, <Right>, <Up>, <A>
Using EmuNAND @ 1D7800/000000

TWL Customer ID: snip!

What can i do?
Just FYI, I managed to resolve the TWL_firm issue and got success in all 3 stages, got my OTP and installed A9LH + AuReinand. Thanks for the help @GerbilSoft
Now I'm gonna try to do this on my N3DS, which I am a bit afraid on the part of getting OTP as i had a frankenFW I recovered from when downgrading from 9.8 original FW

I'm back for some help. I am trying to open OTP helper from HBL from sysnand but when loading I would get a second red screen and it would take me back to HBL menu. Does anyone know what the problem is?
EDIT: NVM, used broswerhax to open HBL and open OTPHelper. (I should play all my cards before asking, unless it could lead to a brick)
EDIT2: Yeaah!!! SO I got it to work on first try on my N3DS! Thanks a lot OP for the OTP! I was worried I would have more files missing on any stage due to frankenfw downgrade and recovery but everything went smooth!
I used a CTRbootmanager and rxtools before and now A9LH w/ auReinand works great and really fast!

Follow Part 4 (getting the OTP) from plailect's guide. Don't rush things and check troubleshooting if needed. Good luck!
Yeah. OTP helper is a tool that checks the downgrade to FW 2.1.0. You do it via emunand copying the downgraded emunand to sysnand. Once you are in fw 2.1.0 you go to OTP helper via browserhax and you just dump the otp to otp.bin. If everything goes well OTP helps you downgrade without you doing anything.
It's a cumbersome process just to get 256 bytes of info, but I think its worth it and I have used it like one day only.
Follow the guide, read it first and understand it. Then go for it. Others will help you understand more technical stuff if you want to know.

I use the first method with my CN but with the last built, there's no line for "dump OTP"
Hmm, that's weird. It should be the first line. Sorry I can't be of much help, maybe others know a solution.

Here's a small v0.82 update, fulfilling some users wishes, this is new:
- Minimum size RedNANDs (as created by EmuNAND9) are now handled by this
- You can't shutdown / reboot while the SD is out anymore
- Regular shutdown requires [START + RIGHT]

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
