I cant hold L while booting (I can AFTER CTR, but not before) or else it will just bypass me straight to sysNAND.

I am installing the new version of rxTools Hari gave me :)
After CTRbootmanager shows up, and you run rxTools from there, hold L.

Wait... I'm confusing old rxTools with the new one. Sorry! There are no tabs and other menus anymore. But holding L when selecting rxTools will still force the menu to boot, and in that screen, you can choose to boot the menu every time (use the left and right D pad buttons to choose between emunand, sysnand, menu...)

After you can make sure emunand and sysnand both boot from the menu, then you can try the autoboot and explain that there is a problem.

Having a very, very odd issue.

(btw, no, that isnt a bad picture. The damn thing is unbearably blurry in real life.)

Just copy-paste this into your boot.cfg(make a backup of it if you want), the default is rxTools so after CTRbootmanager boots it'll directly open rxTools in a few seconds.

Code:
boot_config :
{
  timeout = 3;
  autobootfix = 8;
  recovery = 2;
  default = 2;
  entries = (
    {
      title = "Decrypt9";
      path = "/Decrypt9WIP.dat";
      offset = "0x12000";
    },
    {
      title = "MiniPasta (= Devmode) (sysNAND)";
      path = "/3ds/MiniPasta/MiniPasta.3dsx";
      offset = "0x12000";
    },
    {
      title = "rxTools";
      path = "/rxTools/sys/code.bin";
      offset = "0x12000";
      key = 0;
    },
    {
      title = "HomeBrewMenu";
      path = "/boot_hb.3dsx";
    },    {
      title = "Reboot";
      path = "reboot";
    },
    {
      title = "Shutdown";
      path = "shutdown";
    } );
  theme :
  {
    bgTop1 = "4a0031";
    bgTop2 = "6f0149";
    bgBottom = "6f0149";
    highlight = "dcdcdc";
    borders = "ffffff";
    font1 = "ffffff";
    font2 = "000000";
    bgImgTop = "/yourimage.bin";
    bgImgBot = "/yourimage2.bin";
  };
};

Replace what you already have

Almost there!

That DID boot into rxTools perfectly well! However... no coldboot afterwards. Straight to dual black screens.

Set the 'timeout =3' to 1, making it almost coldboot. Dual black screens as in emuNAND didn't load? :/

Try again, it doesn't work sometimes very rarely

Ill give it a go.

Something that may be worth noting: I can still boot into emuNAND perfectly fine by going to browser, going to 3ds.reboot.ms, rxTools and then boot emuNAND, so the software can do it. It just seems to not want to do it from CTR, whether it's from the menu or automatic.

Yeah, tried it. No go from CTR.

I hope Im not overstepping myself right now, but if you're not too busy and if it would not be too much of an issue, do you think maybe I could send you a join.me and you could see if theres any obvious issues in my SD card? :$ No pressure of course, you've all been lots of help already!

So yeah, me and HariGp took a look at it, and couldnt figure out a solution :/ If anyone else has any other ideas on how to solve this, let me know.
I got it now. Somehow your 3ds isn't (compatible?) or something with the newer versions, but you could run the older one(rxTools.dat). I f you still have the download/link then download it again, and change it in the boot.cfg file :) I'm preeetty certain it would work

No go :( I tried using 2.6. It works even less. However, this version had a text-based UI, which is not the one I used before.

The one before that I had was a graphical UI but also had rxtools.dat. I wonder which version that was :(

Figured it out!

I ditched rxTools for this purpose and went with Cakes. Works perfectly! I guess I'll just reserve rxtools to being used as a utility in my sysNAND.

I'm trying to autoboot into emunand at start up, but it's not going. (through HBL then rxtools it works) I haven't changed any boot.3dsx either, (not knowing which one and what folder to find it). Could you guys help? Thanks.
