Homebrew SigHax Updates and Discussion Thread

[nwhiteman42]

Just a simple question. How hard would it be to release 3 versions of Luma, being one for sys+emu, one for a9lh and one for b9s?
I'm asking this because I'm running sys+emu, and while I managed to avoid a9lh, now future Luma versions will only be released for b9s, so I'm basically being forced to get b9s, having the risk of bricking (yes, it's possible and is on the troubleshooting section of the guide and I lack luck when it comes to things like this, since something always goes wrong for me).

Bricking now is wayyyyu harder to do following the guide because you no longer need to downgrade.

You CAN with the DSiWare method but it requires another 3DS running CFW already, and long since gone DSiWare. Granted you can inject a hax save into many compatible games to make it work, but you still need another 3DS that's already hacked; and an injectible DSiWare title you bought legit.

Or it can be installed with a Hardmod. Only options on OFW 11.4.

First things first: "Happy birthday!" to @addi33 you got the best birthday present but we got yours as well, hehe.

I was busy reading all the posts in this thread but now I am nearly through all the updates.
@ Majickhat55 My problem with DSiWare game injection is that I cannot access eShop to purchase one of the games on this list because of the system update nag. CTR-HTTPWN v1.2 is not working ... I got a EUR N3DSXL on 11.0.0 with Luma3DS 7.0.5 and A9LH installed. eShop forces me to press homemenu button even after having run CTR-HTTPWN. Any advices? Thanks in advance!

Edit: Or should I just update to Boot9Strap first with that console? The thing is, I can only ask my brother to do this process and I really would like to do it myself. I am not at home for the weekend and will return monday so I am scared that Nint will take DSiWare off their shop and therefore missing the opportunity to get Boot9Strap on my 11.4 console ...

Ahhh, that is why, I needed to launch the shop from HBL! Alright, so now or later, I'll have to update anyway. Thanks for information and never mind about those wishes! :-)

Hey guys I am updating my o3ds with the 3ds.guide update tutorial and I keep running into this error when trying to run Safeb9sinstaller "SigHaxed FIRM was not installed!, check lower screen"

The 3DS has A9LH v1 with Luma3DS v6.6 setup so it can't boot without the SD card I don't know if this has anything to do with it.

It got stuck at the Sighaxed FIRM check and says its not installed

Edit: Lower screen -:

it is possible a file is out of place. I would double check the guide.

 

[peteruk]

ok to delete the boot9strap folder or will this be needed for further updates ?

 

[yacepi15]

I've seen this on 3DBrew:

The 3DS can boot from something that's not the 3DS NAND? Can someone explain me it?
Thank you.

I did twice already don't see any file out of place or anything

upload a picture of your SD card.

No, you keep the boot9strap folder, it's the equivalence of the files9 folder.

Well actually looking at the guide you can delete the boot9strap folder but it's where boot9.bin, boot11.bin and the OTP.bin get dumped to.

thank you

Looks like it's not reading the boot9strap.firm from the boot9strap folder. I'd try downloading the zip again.

also, maybe it might be a good idea to update your Luma custom firmware to 7.0.5 and "maybe" update A9LH to V2.

Make sure boot9strap.firm and boot9strap.firm.sha are in the boot9strap folder of your SD card.

Alright I'll post a screenshot aswell

No, it's not, it's only used when installing boot9strap itself or when using boot9strap to dump the bootroms/OTP. It's not needed for normal usage after install.
