download atmosphere 0.8.4
extract the contents of the zip to your sd card
enter RCM
push the fusee-primary payload

also are there things I can and can't do?
like update, anything to do with the internet, etc (I know not to use cheats or something online)

Make a Nand + boot0 + boot1 + biskey backup
Do. Not. Update
Even when using atmosphere I suggest using 90dns if you want to connect it online

Yeah, 90dns, use it if you want.

First make backup with Hekate.
DON'T BOOT TO CFW FIRST!

But Hekate can make backup of 7.0? Hmm...

that's only for clean backups, but it should be able to do rawnand and boot... if not it will update soon

 

[AlabasterPenguins]

alright so I still need to figure out how I'm gonna boot into RCM, but when I do I need to make a backup before I load into atmosphere?

 

[masagrator]

First you need to boot to Hekate and from there make backup.
After making backup you can boot atmosphere from Hekate or load atmosphere payload directly to RCM.

alrighty, sounds good

that is providing hekate will let you do the backup on the current version, it might error out or freeze

so just make sure to backup the NNAD and such?

yep, so long as they get backed up, you'll be fine down the line

what technique did you use to activate the RCM?

 

[Dichotomy754]

I use ReiNX and would like to point out that they have a very handy well laid out guide. Might be worth looking into if you need something step by step.

Edit: Just saw your RCM question. The easiest method is to just buy one for a buck or two from amazon, but if you're confident in your abilities you could also use a paperclip to make the necessary connections. The guide I posted goes into more detail at the bottom of step two.

sadly that's the same rail rigging I've been working on (which I'm working on the tinfoil version, and I gotta say, with my shaky hands and such oh boy what a pain that is

that's the one they link to in the reinx website, but I gotta ask what's the difference between fusee and Reinex

If I'm not mistaken Fusee is the vulnerability that lets us inject payloads. ReiNX and Atmosphere are "custom firmware" built to take advantage of this,

oooooooooh alrighty

so when I loaded the fusee.bin I got an atmosphere screen with a little {R} and then the switch resets and reloads, is that normal

okay

Fusee-Gelee is the name of the exploit used to get cfw and launch payloads

fusee-primary and Fusee-secondary are atmosphere payload/cfw, which the fusee-gelee exploit was originally designed for

reinx is another payload/cfw

Yes, if you used all the files from the latest release (0.8.4) if you check system version it should say something like 7.0 (AMS0.8.4)
