[Salfay]

[gamesquest1]

thats what my post said above.
safehax was fixed by tinivii and udsploit was released by smea, just look at page 67/the OP

Because this is more of a hardware based exploit requiring exact timing, a little bit of luck and a lot of patience with trial end error, while a9lh was more of a specific flaw, I.e do this, and you get that.

But yeah, in a topic where nobody is really able to help and contribute unless they have a bunch of hardware for glitching and a in depth understanding of the hardware people are bound to end up talking about random crap, everything relevant has already been posted

I am not criticizing the time it's taking. I expected this one to take forever because brute forcing is an extremely time consuming process.
I am simply pointing out why this thread has a hard time staying on topic. I mean, in an era where hentai is one click and 5 second wait, we've grown used to things happening instantly. Now people have to wait and they are itchy waiting.

that's why I said I hope something happens before summer because tbh it's all we can do, hope the best that this works out, but I feel it'll be worth the wait if some folks make some decent custom home menus : )

Your first mistake was downgrading to 9.2 instead of 2.1... you must be going off of memory or using outdated guides, which aren't as safe as current ones.

why would it matter if it passed the checks?

 

[Temptress Cerise]

It doesn't matter if it passes checks. There is still a small chance of it bricking. The old guide had various suggestions and troubleshooting steps to try and prevent that.

The new guide doesn't need any of those precautions.

Furthermore, once SysDowngrader is loaded, the exploit is done. If you see the SysDowngrader screen load up, the results of the downgrade are solely due to SysDowngrader. The exploit is what lets it load and function in the first place, nothing more or less. If it proceeded to downgrade without erroring before the installation began, the exploit served its purpose.

Also, if you only used an arm11 (udsploit) exploit, your nfirm was not actually installed.

Where in the guide does it say to downgrade to 9.2? SafeCTRTransfer takes you to 2.1.

wasn't planning on installing a9lh, just wanted to downgrade to 9.2 before i tried it on my 3ds xl

....why? There are zero benefits from being on 9.2, besides slightly easier menuhax implementation if you're missing half your brain functionality

Ok, so SafeCTRTransfer to 2.1 then CTRTransfer to 9.2. Done.

 

[Starzcream]

....why?

Hate to blame you for your brick, but that's 100 percent your fault for not following the guide.
