Homebrew SigHax Updates and Discussion Thread

[nwhiteman42]

Probably won't, use godmode9

Why not? I would think it would so people can make nand backups

 

[Giodude]

Assuming i should delete luma updater for now?

You can do that with gm9, you just have to be more careful about what you restore.

Forgive me if I'm being dumb, but 3ds.guide shows a guide for Updating to boot9strap. Are boot9strap and SigHax the same thing? Also, am I safe to update my 3DS to newer firmwares after Updating to SigHax?

Not so sure yet. They are both the same thing.According to the guide it is safe to update to a higher fw.

It looks like it still gets the new update so don't delete it yet. Just booted the updater up and it showed 7.1

You can still use GM9 for that, press the home button.

If you have luma and a9lh I don't think you bricked but I'm not sure this is new and im new to 3ds hacking. Do you have a NAND backup?

Yes I have one

 

[MarioMasta64]

success. installed.

 

[CreAtor135]

Updating or installing from OFW?

boot.firm has to be on the root of your SD

 

[XXXTORTELLINI]

deleted

So I just got done with Section II - Installing boot9strap, but when I turned my 3ds on again the blue light faded in and out and stayed off. Did I brick?

Tried reinserting the SDCard again? Did you properly remove it in Windows?
Have you put all files correctly? Have you named the folder correctly?

I thought this http://www.sighax.com/ was a joke cause it didn't loaded for me until now, it's this supposed to be the same or what? appart from the community support that's obvious

Different developers. Same end result? One is opensource, the other is not?

This is the better original code made by Derrek. He was the one that showed the exploit off and a quick summary on how he went about dumping boot9.

CakesFW works with sighax. For the most part, there is one bug being fixed

As far as I know, they do the exact same thing, so there should be no difference in the exploit code? Anyway both should work fine and do the same thing. I however follow Aurora's recommendation's and since it added boot9strap and the guide also recommend boot9strap it's just the obvious choice for me.

 

[XXXTORTELLINI]

Well, now were just waiting for things to be developed for sighax...

 

[Aletron9000]

Success! Sighax installed and working great

 

[YugamiSekai]

Should I be on the latest A9LH Luma before installing?

If you go to the website it gets the downloads from (https://astronautlevel2.github.io/Luma3DS/) the new downloads are empty. I assume the script or whatever building the files needs to get updated.
