Hacking Step by step guide?

Go for it! With the new CTRtransfer method it's now easier (and not to mention, safer) than ever! There's really no reason not to do it. If you want, you can take a backup of your current, untouched 9.2 NAND with Decrypt9.

To be honest, I think setting up emunand with coldboot is much harder(not harder, maybe longer) than setting up a9lh now that the guide was simplified.

I wouldn't say it's harder to get running, but it is harder to maintain. With emuNAND you have to install DSiWare and GBA VC to both emuNAND and sysNAND, as well as every time you update you have to pay special attention to make sure you do not update sysNAND on accident.

If you don't care about DSiWare or GBA VC, then no problem!

If you want your sys nand so bad I heard there was a cfw Shadow or something that's is A9LH with CFW that supports no SD boot to sys nand, although pointless as you will need a SD to install game backups

I think you missed the more important part of what I said:

as well as every time you update you have to pay special attention to make sure you do not update sysNAND on accident.

It seems to be a common theme on the forums where someone updates "emuNAND" only to find they updated sysNAND by accident and have no way to (easily) downgrade back to an exploited firmware.
You can still run emuNAND from A9LH, and it also gives you protection from accidentally updating sysNAND (or more accurately, you can accidentally update sysNAND to 11.0 without losing access to your emuNAND)

/\ link above is better than ShadowNAND which uses unconventional SD card structure

 

[grimon]

If you ever need tk change sd card, just copy paste the whole thing

 

[Funkentanz]

If "almost untouched" is ok for you, nothing prevents you from using an emuNAND with a9lh. And once A9LH (really) supports booting without an SD card, your sysNAND will be as usable as if untouched and even more.

Yep, I use A9LH with an EmuNAND. When I remove the SD Card my O3DS boots into my SysNAND on 9.2, with SD it boots into Luma on 11.0.

I'm just going to say this here since I saw the word "Shadownand" pop up. Shadownand is a project that built hype for months, only to wait for AW to implement SD card less booting in her fork and then copied her code.

I trust AW far more than I trust Shadowhand when it comes to development, so if you want booting without an SD card wait for AW to perfect it (currently they're working on fixing DS games iirc) and then use that. It's probably safer than Shadownand and uses a conventional directory structure.

I have a gateway 3.4.1 that I boot up via Browser. Maybe it has emunand? IF yes, I have to delete it before installing a9LH?

No, at the end of the guide you'll transfer the emunand to your sysnand and you'll be good to go.

One of the steps in the guide is deleting the emuNAND (using emunand9 SD format options).

I'm stuck with the guide.
Part 3 (arm9loaderhax) - Section 2
Go to http://dukesrg...
But on my N3DS is no wlan switch to switch the wifi on...

WiFi should already be on. If it isn't, take the battery out and put it back in.

Thanks!
Thats helps.

I have now officially became a luma3ds user

with a9lh of course lol.

It allows you to run unsigned apps straight off the sysnand, with full access to exploits which is all i wanted out of the luma3ds as well the fact it boots faster than emuand

 

[sys64738]

Successfull installed A9LH.
Thanks for help guys!

There are more 2 questions:
-Can i transfer my game saves from my O3DS (Emunand with rxTools) to my N3DS(a9hl)?
-Can i change my SD card to bigger capacity in my N3DS (a9lh)?

1. Yep, use JKSM, it's available as a .cia. Back them up, copy the folder it makes to the other console's SD card, then import them.
2. Yep just copy and paste the files (assuming updated sysNAND).
