Homebrew [Tutorial] How to install 2.5 on themehax manually.

[Substance12]

I tried uninstalling themehax, deleting the payload and reinstalling it. I saw that it recognized the console as an n3DS and installed an n3DS payload, but I keep finding the "menuhax_ropbinpayload.bin" file, not "ropbinpayload_menuhax_USA20480_new3ds.bin" as it should be. Any ideas on what i'm doing wrong?

I'm honestly not sure. There's contradicting information somewhere along the line and I'm not sure which is right. If I had an n3DS I'd test it myself but I don't. Best thing I can suggest is try one then the other, and see if either works.

Also from what I can gather, "ropbinpayload_menuhax_********_new3ds.bin" is what it may be, with the asteriks being your payload region and the string of numbers immediately before it.

How do people end up with corrupt cards, are you sure your card is legit? Just asking, I mean I screwed up like 3 times with it and didn't lose a thing.

I think it might have been when I was transferring a file using an ftp app(I had a bad connection).

I think it might have been when I was transferring a file using an ftp app(I had a bad connection). Only the installer folder wouldnt show up on my computer, but I could usr dir or ls to see that it existed.

If the installer folder didnt show up, its possible you had a conflicting name, the folder name should match the 3dsx file name, did you rename it by any chance?

No, I didnt rename it at all. When I tried to delete the folder using the ftp app, it would give me many different errors. Also, when I open the sd card with a homebrew file explorer, there was weird file names in the themepayload folder ex like menuhax_USA20.lz.241lz Im just glad it works now.

Yeah, sorry, the numbers for mine should be 21504. I tried changing the name of the payload to "ropbinpayload_menuhax_USA21504_new3ds.bin" and the console crashed. I almost had a heart attack and thought I had bricked it, but luckily I didn't.

Nobody missed it, but as far as I'm aware the official themehax installer is not working correctly and won't re-install 2.1 if you happen to think it's broken and uninstall, hence why I linked the offline installer.

Really if you already have themehax 2.1 on you won't need the installer at all. Just follow the instructions.

I'll install 2.1 and upgrade it tomorrow, but it does have eshop spoof access right?

If your only way to launch hombrew is browserhax, then you kind of missed it. But not entirely

What do you mean? Because browserhax is my only way.

Browserhax was blocked on all firmwares and it won't let you launch it

How and since when!?

A couple hours ago. Although maybe, MAYBE, and don't quote me on this, but I read that cleaning the cookies would make it work again, you'd miss nothing if you tried

I don't understand how it got blocked on older versions. Its theoretically impossible!

It is possible. They made a server side change. But they cannot patch ironhax, ninjhax and oot3dhax (and maybe themehax) since none of them connect to the internet before getting to the point where the exploit triggers

You... you got it working? Tell me how you did it. Oh, and INSTALL THEMEHAX ASAP. I'm pretty sure there are ftp clients for Android and iOS.

For firmware's below 9.9 it doesnt pop up, but for those at 9.9 above it prompts it

I was upset to see that, even though I never used it, really. Honestly, I thought forced auto updates were against the 3DS terms. I assumed that though since all updates were optional. Suddenly they're being shoved into our systems little by little without our consent. I'm keep my 3DS completely off when I'm not using it just to be safe. Honestly, if the code was already there, this was probably planned anyway, to keep users from being on too low of a FW. In the same sense as to why cartridges have updates in them. So that kinda contradicts that idea.

I have 10.1.0, is that good?
