Error-3 while installing rxTools 2.6:
Please download the latest release of rxTools from github.
Also RE-DOWNLOAD the firmware.bin file using the cdn_firm.py script present in the tools 2.6 folder
The MD5(firmware.bin) : A9DCD99A360E8629810F8ED08403D746

'X' Displayed while installing rxTools [....x..] :

Reason

AGB_FIRM is not installed in either the SysNAND nor the EmuNAND.
It is necessary to have AGB_FIRM installed in at least one of the NANDs. The installation data suite needs that in order to properly parse the Title Key and decrypt the AGB_FIRM copy stored in the firmware.bin file. Otherwise, it'll always fail.

Install a clean AGB_FIRM CIA to either the SysNAND or the EmuNAND (or both preferably).
AGB_FIRM CIA using 3DNUS (Title ID: 0004013800000202 / Version: 3665). Then, use FBI to install the CIA to the NAND.
Alternatively, you can follow this guide: AGB_FIRM Signature patcher

First thing I have to say to you is that the new rxtools 2.5 has disabled signature patches and can install FBI onto h&s without much work.

I'm not really an expert on these things but I don't think it has much to do with different booting methods. The injection could be faulty.
Was your friend on 9.8 emunand before he attempted to inject? Also did he inject the correct region files?
There are just a lot of things which could have gone wrong. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Edit: nvm, I just read yours again and realised you're trying to use it on sysnand. My bad

 

Orz. I've finally boot my console with latest one compiled minutes ago.
However the screen in emunand have some blank titles (which is black icon with white border).
If opened the 3DS loops with the "Nintendo 3DS" logo.. And home key deactivated. Quite amusing..
If i run those, then power down, and into rxmode again, one weird box disappear.
then again it would appear, as a gift box.. WOW. It could be unwrapped again, orz.
Hope someone could find a way to solve this weird problem.

Mine is JAP O3DS, Sysnand 4.1, Emunand 9.8. Mset.
Region free? I've only tried one EUR through devmenu, which is long ago.

OK I know why that is now.
It is cause there is still title installed inside NAND. Titles count told me that.
on that sig-patched 2.4, the title just doesn't pop up. FBI install fails when doing so on Emunand..
i would launch FBI and delete those titles from NAND, about the latest ones in the list.

NOTE: If you see weird boxes (wrapped is black icon with white border, unwrapped ones have no names) just get your FBI to uninstall some user installed titles on your Emunand! See those around the end of your list. This is cause the 2.4 just doesn't show those corrupted titles.
Sorry i've mistaken it. You can install devmenu and use that. Remove other titles on your SD.
Also feel free to attach this info on the OP.

 

If you installed the gaems in emuNAND first, you need then to extract emuNAND ticket.db and then inject it to sysNAND.
Then your games should appear now.

 

if you inject FBI H&S and it just launch the normal H&S app you have to reinstall H&S of your region and version... but that only works if you have a working cia manager... I think the problem is the fbi_inject.app since it was specifically made for 9.X emunand and not 4.X

the best way is update your emunand before injecting the fbi_inject.app

 

Can I play GBA games with the rxTools 2.5.2 emuNAND after installing AGB_FIRM?

 

Just got Rxtools setup with emunand 9.8, I'm celebrating right now!
My question is, can emunand play cartridges too? Aside from the long cia installation, Rxtools is PERFECT! I can literally turn any 9.2 or below O3DS into an Rxtools 3DS just like that.

Also, for GBA support is it better to setup CakesFW or just use Rxtools?

 

Yes, it can play cartdriges too, but is highly recommended to use a Sysnand above 7.X for cart save encryption issues, like Pokémon.

GBA support is fine for both versions, the advantage that Cakes has right now is that you can select the patches before emuNAND loads, and rxtools needs to run in dev mode trough sysnand.

 

I mean playing carts from emunand. It seems like it does since I launched cubic Ninja from emunand. I have sysnand 9.0 and emunand 9.8 for my setup.

Would you suggest CakesFW for GBA games over Rxtools? Or does Rxtools MOD Switcher make it easier?
Either way, I'll have to get them installed on sysnand and emunand since my nands are unlinked.

 

Can you region swap the Emunand partition easily with RxTools 2.5? If so how?
