Hacking Official ShadowNAND

[Shadowhand]

I already have a9lh installed. Do I need to put the OTP.bin there?

Yes.

 

[opmas]

How do I generate or get the otp.bin?

The only process I know is the emunand. Have not tried the a9lh yet

 

[ThunderbInazuma]

Yes.

Ok, thx. I'm gonna install it now. With this can I still use Luma CFW from the SD?

Read the readme question already posted

Yes you can but you need to patch it with pathchanger since ShadowNAND will only load /homebrew/boot.bin and not arm9loaderhax.bin

Ok, thx. I couldn't find the answer.

Luma could also work out of the box with this, but @Aurora Wright would have to update the reboot patch to work with it. I would love it if she did

@Shadowhand So I'm in a problem here. I've installed this, and it works.
I can boot /homebrew/safe_mode.bin fine, so I'm assuming it works.
However, my boot.bin (saltfw) isn't booting, and the 3ds isn't booting without sd card.
I just get a constant blackscreen. Should I try installing it again?

EDIT: FYI, I'm on N3DS EUR 11.0

Yes. make sure to overwrite old payloads and use ShadowNAND Installer.

Have the "other files" changed? Gonna redownload them just in case.

 

[Ricken]

Cool, now Ninty might actually be willing to repair some systems XD
Would it still be possible to launch other CFWs with this installed?

 

[opmas]

this is only applicable to those who have otp.bin already?

No but, it's good practice to download new copies.

Please read better.

Thanks @Shadowhand . It worked perfectly.

I will do some testing on my 2DS later.

So, I realised that, my sd card has a bunch of corrupt folders and files with random names.
Also theres a couple with names, like hfirm or something. Lemme look at this and edit in a few sec

Okay:
2x folder called .bin doe.sn'
1x folder called error: f.irm
1x folder called lid or c.orr
1x file called is inva.lid
1x file called just a bunch of random letters and symbols
1x file called ds max s.ize
1x file called h/firm1..bin
1x file called orrupted.
1x file called USBC; (and then a box)
1x file called USBCY (and then a box)
So...

Your SD itself might be corrupt. Please proceed with caution.

Please read better.

Haven't really found a clear answer, but looking at how this works, I'd assume yes

 

[runetoonxx2]

question what is safemode?

 

[bobfacemoo]

This looks so good, finally a release! Will wait for an actual non pre-alpha release though. Will this work with V1 A9LH? That's what I have installed so d;
