So long as your CFW supports FIRM0/1 protection (which is all the active one,) you are safe to update.
Although, you really should update your CFW before updating your system. It's not really a security risk, just worth doing.

Yes but first update Luma to latest build (6.5)
Maybe update A9LH if you want to boot without an SD card in case it gets corrupted or got missing, but that is your call
Then do the system update since you have A9LH+the latest Luma :-)

Sadly, I don't even know what version of A9LH I have...I installed it waaay back when it first came out....I found the guide to update it but I don't even remember if I used Luma or not.....I guess I can put my card in my laptop and find out....according to the guide it should work regardless of what version of A9LH I have anyway...
okay, i'm following the steps over at https://plailect.github.io/Guide/updating-a9lh and it gets to the point where it tells me to press Down on D-Pad and Press Select....but I get "Error: payload_state1.bin doesn't exist or exceeds max size" error....it was in the release folder that I downloaded but no clue where to put it
I think you didn't read the guide carefully:
- Copy the contents of the arm9loaderhax zip to a9lh folder on your SD card
Did you check from your files that you are running Luma?
Nice now you have the latest a9lh!
Now continue with the guide until section II
Then,when you insert the SD card back in your system and reboot with holding select, does it show you the Luma menu or not?
If yes then update to the Luma latest build and continue
Edit:you update Luma by downloading the latest release and extracting from the Luma3DSv6.5.7z the arm9loaderhax.bin to the root of your SD card

yea, I am on Luma3DS v6.5....
on Section 3, it says to select arm9loaderhax.bin and copy it to CRTNAND.....when I select Destination on FBI, it just says NAND, not CTRNAND....is this normal?

Are you using the latest FBI release ?
It should have SD ,CTR NAND, TWL NAND etc
Edit:update it then :-)
what is your version?
you can also hit the Update in the bottom and it will update itself
Go to the latest release of FBI download the .cia move it to your SD card and install it from your FBI
Edit:IF that doesn't work you can inject it to H&S app by following this from Plailect's Guide:
Section V - Injecting FBI
Edit:IF that doesn't work you can inject it to H&S app by following this from Plailect's Guide:
Section V - Injecting FBI
- Open Hourglass9 from arm9loaderhax by holding (Start) on boot
- Go to “SysNAND Backup/Restore”, then select the “Health&Safety Dump” option to dump Health & Safety to hs.app (you can use Up and Down / Left and Right to change the name)
- Press (B), then select the “Health&Safety Inject” option
- Select the FBI injectable .app for your region
- Press (A) and confirm to inject
- Press (Start) to reboot
- If you still launch to the stock Health & Safety app and have downgraded with Gateway in the past, follow this troubleshooting guide

Now If you want and SDless Luma system, just copy-paste the arm9loaderhax.bin from the latest luma.7z you downloaded and extracted to the root of your SD card to CTR NAND :-)
I think you are ready to update your system to the latest version!
You did all this just for safety measures and for a future-proof "stable" system :-p

Got the arm9loaderhax.bin in CTR NAND
.....when you are juggling between Vita hacking, Wii U hacking and 3DS hacking...it can get confusing....(now just waiting on PS4 hacks )Similar threads

@
TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@
Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
