Homebrew SigHax Updates and Discussion Thread

[HugaTheFox]

The original FIRM files are available on the 3DS guide as magnet links. Check the "Installing boot9strap (hardmod)" section.

Do note that if the FIRM you install doesn't match the OS installed on CTR NAND, it might not boot. You may be able to boot into recovery mode to do a system update, though this will bring you to 11.4. If you currently have B9S+11.4, installing the original 11.4 FIRM will make it impossible to reinstall B9S unless you have DSiWareHax or a hardmod.

Thanks. I got a 2DS on 11.1, I will be fine. Thanks for the link.

You could install the original Nintendo FIRM into the FIRM partitions, but I'm not sure why you'd want to do that...

Note that while this wasn't safe to do on New3DS with A9LH, it should be safe with B9S because the secret sector (sector 0x96) is restored as part of SafeB9SInstaller.

Also, how would we install it? Use B9S to install it?

dump nand, inject firm, restore nand

dump nand, inject firm, restore nand

Oh ok. Thanks.

I tried the newly discovered Start+Select+R button combo on my DS lite and it also directly launched the game in the DS-Slot even without a closed lid.
The game (Valkyrie Profile) couldn't access the save data at some tries, so maybe this changes the way DS games are launched?
This is probably a useless finding, but it's still neat to see that they reused that button combo I guess.
Edit: Oops, start + select already trigger it because of the flashme I have installed.

Is there anything out to convert an encrypted .cia to a decrypted .cci/.cxi without needing to copy it to/from a 3ds yet?

Inject the firm how? When I use the hardmod installer I get Boot9Strap.firm not found

Im not trying to install B9s, I am see on how to uninstall/remove B9S. The reason is I am modding things.

Wait for the official way. They said it will be an uninstall guide on 3ds.guide

where? Source?

Read it in some thread here on temp. Just don't tinker on your own

Trying to tinker with it yourself is a great way to brick.

the "official way" is simply using autofirm to inject the firms. or what ever tool they switched to.
or you hexedit the whole thing.

So NAND dumps with this are universal? Then, can a dump made with B9S be injected in another B9S console, can it be injected in an A9LH console? Can I inject an A9LH dump in a B9S console?

No, b9s nand dumps are not universal

3dsconv

No, that converts an encrypted 3ds/cci to a decrypted cia. It will NOT convert an encrypted cia to decrypted 3ds/cci.

you just have to rewrite some stuff, then it will do

Oh yeah right, because that is the easiest thing in the world to do. Just learn python from scratch and rewrite 3dsconv to convert cia to 3ds instead. No big deal, shouldn't take more than a couple of hours.

I only have one question (and forgive my low knowledge on the matter please). I have the arm9loaderhax installed on my o3ds but i want to know how can i check to see if i have everything i need to update to the boot9strap (if it is the same as the sighax) and what kind of method is the safest/best to update.
