Hacking [Release] rxTools - Roxas75 3DS Toolkit [fw 2.0 - 9.2]

• How do i know if i'm in sysNAND or emuNAND?
  • Check in System Settings, near the system version. RX-S stays for sysNAND, while RX-E stays for emuNAND. Be sure to be in emuNAND before updating.

Just as an FYI, jumped back into the system settings twice in a row, and the second time, it kicks back the regular system version (without the RX prefix). Not sure if this is just a bug with the version display, or if you are actually dropped out of RX mode after checking the system settings.....

System Settings restarts the console when exiting, so you are kicked from any patched FIRM that you was using.

That's not a bug. It works like that in Gateway EmuNAND too. When you exit System Settings, the system always kicks you back to SysNAND for some reason. I think it's because it reloads the NAND redirection info and kicks you out to SysNAND.

One thing I don't get is how does rxTools modify the SysNAND system version string? Is it like how you can boot into Gateway-mode SysNAND using a Gateway 3DS flashcard and an SD Card without any EmuNAND formatted onto it?

Maybe this isn't the best advice to check before doing a system update then? Is there some way to print off the system version elsewhere so we don't have to go through the system settings and get booted out?

No matter what you have to go into settings to get to the update tab. Once you go in just don't exit but go straight to the system update. Keep things simple and no issues will happen. But remember to have emunand already on the SD card. I seen too many times that is the main cause of updating sysnand instead.

Cool....I'm all squared away now. Thanks for all the help.

I think a string in the ram of the 3DS will be edited while launching the exploit.

Anyone tried to do a system transfer yet with 9.6 rx emunand to another consoles sysnand? My transfer didn't complete so wondering where the issue is.

So I booted intoo RX mode then clicked on System settings and it was RX-E4.5 I updated it to 9.6.0-24U and it rebooted and now my systemnand is updated to the new ver.... who does nand mods in the usa for 3DS XL and how much?

Thanks for your report, I am sorry for your sysnand. :-(
I was going to upgrade this evening. but if the situation is this aspect of an upgrade from roxas75

Yep I had did every thing the post sad to a T and then my sysnand still got updated (think god my pokemon AS still works!) I think its a bug he did not know about. At lest I have a backup of my 4.5 and 9.2 system nand tho so all is not lost.

Luckily you have the backup of your sysnand.
I hope you can find a good modifier in your city, and especially that you pay the right face.

I am really sorry for your upgraded console!
Didn't expect it, it's really strange, i didn't had this problem, i updated my console too without any problem.
It can be an issue just for you, but i'll obviously check what this can be.
For now, AVOID TO UPDATE.
This evening i'll try to fix all the issues.

just want to ask some question about firmware.bin... what exactly the file size of firmware.bin? is it big?
cuz i used the cdn_firm.exe and it downloaded the firmware.bin with a file size that is less than 1MB (965,632 bytes to be exactly)...

did i downloaded the right file?
is this firmware.bin a file that is constant (not changing), for example, if i backed up this firmware.bin, and nintendo have a new update, is this file usable or do we need to download a new firmware.bin every time theres a new system update?

sory for my bad english... not my native language...
anyway thanks and have a nice day...

wtf is wrong with you dude, is it in your nature to insult people? and gateway really didnt intentionally enable piracy. they were the first to make emunand and a real collabrative effort. So, do you wanna play this game? or do you wanna buy that game?

Yes evidently so, because this is the third time in as many days that I've had to apologise to someone.

I'm frequently blunt, and often impetuous, but I rarely go out of my way to make people feel shitty.

I'm not sure there was a more delicate to make my statement. You clearly don't understand why all the talented 3DS devs have taken a strong anti-piracy stance. It's not a personal attack, but a statement of fact.

With the maturity comment I was suggesting you failed to see the bigger picture here. Had you considered that perhaps Roxas and the other 3DS devs wish to have a career that involves the skills they use developing for the 3DS? Being credited as someone who provided the first flashcart-free piracy solution for the 3DS isn't exactly something you can put on your resume. It could destroy his career before it's even began.

Again, sorry if you felt insulted by comment. It wasn't my intention.

thanks man I hope what ever it is that it can be fixed and I hope it happens to no other person. But its no big deal for me as i have a nand backup

Will test this this evening.
EDIT: Need to check NAND mod first, afterwards i'll check this.
