Homebrew SigHax Updates and Discussion Thread

Didn't seem to work. Can I manually update Luma to 7.05?

I had you confused with someone else.

You are not following the right part of the guide. You are not updating to boot9strap since you never had a9lh. You need to start at https://3ds.guide/get-started and begin with whatever firmware your sysnand is on.

Not true at all, if he's on Luma he has the conditions to install boot9strap which is the exact same process when either installing new or updating A9LH. The only difference is the introduction to homebrew entry points. The guide literally goes Homebrew>Boot9Strap>Update.

Besides, he already said he was running Luma on A9LH. Please read.

The chainloader won't work unless you are using a9lh, but I had him confused with someone else so maybe he does have a9lh.

Does anyone with a lumaupdater.cfg on their SD card root with boot9strap installed want to test Luma Updater?

I think most users that followed the Guide recently should have it. Post it here and wait for feedback?

I am stuck at the step "secret sector not found". Updating from A9LHv2 using SafeB9SInstaller.bin payload. What should I do?

You need secret_sector.bin in the boot9strap folder

Sorry, I meant this test version of it. I haven't officially released anything new yet.

Yes, which is why Safehax/Udsploit exist, which is explained in the "install bootstrap" section after HomeBrew. He didn't need any of that though.

Yeah sure, I'll test it for you. Is there a Luma hourly to update to?

I can dump this file with Godmode9 right? Why is this not included in the guide or am I the only one having this problem?

Hourlies are still busted. astronautlevel2 is hopefully gonna fix it soon.

It is included, it's a torrent magnet link. You need a torrent client to download it.

It is in the guide. You need a torrent client like Deluge to obtain the file.

Gotcha, well sure send it my way and I'll let you know.

Right, all I was saying is he can't use the upgrade to boot9strap part of the guide because the chainloader won't work. It would be simpler just to follow the guide from the beginning.

If you are going to direct someone to a guide it should at a minimum be one they can follow from beginning to end without deviation.

I meant post the beta here since there are 100 people in this thread.

What? Yes he can he has A9LH. I directed him to the correct guide updating to B9S from A9LH. He doesn't need to follow the guide from the beginning dude. Why are you thinking he doesn't have A9LH when he clearly said he does?

Thanks guys, everything seems to be working.

@Bu2d85

Ok, having trouble getting started with the upgrade from a9lh to boot9strap. Holding start when powering on doesn't do anything for me. I can hold select and get Luma3ds config. ???

Yeah, he straight up said he was following the upgrade part of the guide ( I didn't link him to anything) and "select" brings him to the Luma config = A9LH install. The information I gave him after the fact was 100% accurate as per the guide, or basic troubleshooting. So I have no idea what you're talking about.

Thanks, found it. I didn't notice the tab "updating from A9LH" and simply followed "Installing with homebrewlauncher" an there were no secretsector.bin linked there.
By the way, does A9LH still exist? If I delete the .firm payload then I can still use the older Lumas with .bin payload right?
