Homebrew SafeA9LHInstaller

[DQScott95]

Just bricked my N3DSXL by using SafeA9LHInstaller 1.2.1 to "update" with payload_stage2.bin
Didn't know it needed a full install to work
gonna need to perform a hardmod

If this is true, then I am SO SO SO glad I read through every page of comments before attempting to update my payload_stage2.

I was just going to put the arm9loaderhax.bin from this on my root and put the payload_stage2.bin in the "a9lh" folder and boot my N3DS.

I am currently on the original release fork, updated with dark_samus3 updater from screen_init.

Thats exactly what I did

Aurora, you're our hero.

I didn't need to full install before install the stage2 update O_õ

Can you explain exactly how I would do a full install for this? I already have a9lh with screen_init, but I feel like using this fork with AuRei makes more sense.

Edit: I dont want to mess it up accidentally. Currently I have the arm9loaderhax.bin from the Safea9lhinstaller 1.2.1 and a folder named "a9lh" with the secret_sector.bin, and the firm1/firm0.bins (renamed from the new3ds90/new3ds10.firm files) and have also compiled the dark_samus/aurora fork for the payload_stage1/payload_stage2.bin

Where do i go from here?

I have A9Lh installed in my O3DS. And I want to reinstall it with this. Can I load the ".bin" from A9LH? Which one should I choose, full install or stage2 update?

You need to compile the files that was said on the OP from the A9LH fork you want, put the files on "a9lh" folder in the SD card and start the A9LH version of this safeA9lh installer

But I never did it, I just installed the stage2 update on my already installed A9LH

If I want the full dadvtanages from this, do I just need to update the payload_stage2.bin with this to not have screen_init? Or do I need to also do the payload_stage1 update? Also do I need those other files (firm1/0.bins, secret_sector) to do the stage2 update??

Edit: I am talking about the dark_samus3/Aurora merged github

Did you rename payload2 to stage0x5c0000 before updating? That maybe the reason for the brick. Sorry you bricked.

Its all in the ops instructions, read carefully. For you, you should do a full install.

Ok, and renaming the new3ds90.firm and new3ds10.firm to the firm0/1.bins is the correct way to do it right?

If you don't want the screen_init, use the compiled version of stage2 payload of Supster131 on page 2 (He uses the Aurora's A9LH fork)

 

[PedroPVJ]

Did you rename payload2 to stage0x5c0000 before updating?

Nope.
1. Got payload_stage2.bin compiling this: https://github.com/dark-samus/arm9loaderhax
2. Placed it at /a9lh/ and extracted safea9lhinstaller arm9loaderhax.bin to the root
3. START
4. Brick

 

[DQScott95]

If you don't want the screen_init, use the compiled version of stage2 payload of Supster131 on page 2

But wouldnt using the fork designed for this be better than just updating to not have screen_init?

The payload_stage2 that you need has to be of the A9LH fork that you use

I am planning on doing a full install with aurora/dark_samus3 fork

 

[Gray_Jack]

I am planning on doing a full install with aurora/dark_samus3 fork

So after the full install, use the payload_stage2 of that fork (I dunno if you can use the payload_stage2 from other forks, but to make sure use of the fork you are using)

This is extremely helpfull for me, been doing the old way on many 3DS's, and this saves even much more time than ever, THANK YOU.

Yes, but the installer I dont think looks for payload_stage2.bin.
