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

[Pandaxclone2]

In order to install the new themhax do I have to "uninstall" the old one?, what do I do if themhax is my only entry point?

You don't need to uninstall the old one, however I'm not sure if you can install the new one while accessing the old.

Guys Help. how do I install themehax now that browserhax is blocked by nintendo? I dont have Ironhax nor cubic ninja(cant find any retailers around here) Can I install the themehax using the offline version 1.3? I really don't know what to do. Im on 10.1.0.27J Old 3ds. Anyhelp would be much appreciated.

Unfortunately you'll need a secondary hax to install themehax.

Is there still way for me? Like, can i make my browserhax work by doing some little tricks?

You can install themehax from within themehax, but 2.0 is really unstable for some people (at least for me it is, and I saw at least one other mention of it in the other thread), so your experience may be great or abysmal.

How do I install ''themehax from within themehax''?

If you already have themehax installed you can use it to install using the 2.0 installer.

OMG, not work !!

The new themehax installer 2.0 is out now! Click here to get it.

This tutorial will become inert once Yellows8 makes his themehax installer work with 2.5, but for now here is how you can get 2.5 working through themehax manually. Also this tutorial is changing overtime to help better reflect what has worked and what hasn't, so keep that in mind.

Spoiler: !!Tutorial in the spoiler!!

1. First you must go to Smea's 3DS site here and download the new starterkit and boot.3dsx (If you can't find it, here is the link) and your system ropbin payload which you can get by inputting your system update, region and 3DS type.

Make sure you select the "Download ropbin" and NOT "Download otherapp". If you don't know your version and region you can check in the system settings app on your console as shown here:

2. Next, you'll need to extract the contents of the starterkit.zip, placing it into the root of your SD card.(You can use WinZip/WinRar of similar for this) Don't worry about your 3ds folder; it won't overwrite the custom apps you have installed, but best to be on the safe side and backup just in case.

3. Now rename your 2.5 payload to "menuhax_ropbinpayload.bin". Once you've done that, delete the original menuhax payload in the root of your SD card and place replace it with this one. It seems that deleting the original first does better than overwriting it. Your setup should look like this:

4. Boot up themehax. (Press the power button then IMMEDIATELY hold down L until the top screen shows static) To check if you're on 2.5, try shutting the lid and opening it again. If it didn't freeze (black screen) that's an indication you now have 2.5 installed! Congratulations!

If the above method doesn't work and it freezes on bootup, try accessing an app like Music Player on the home menu, press the power button and wait until the shutdown screen appears. Then press the home button and IMMEDIATELY hold down L afterwards. This works for some n3DS users.

If for whatever reason you don't have themehax installed or uninstalled it, you can still get it back at this time by using the offline installer. Keep in mind that you'll need a second hax to install this and you must use the DEFAULT WHITE THEME. Also keep in mind that this offline installer installs 2.1 only, will overwrite 2.5 if you placed it before you install themehax, and is intended as a way to re-install themehax to usable condition for upgrading with the instructions above.

Here is the offline installer.

Looking for an offline self-config installer? Here you go. Click here for instructions on how to install and use autoboot.

For those of you attempting to install themehax through browserhax, refer to this post. (o3DS under 9.9 compatible only)

Things this tutorial probably needs:

• A video explaining the steps here.

Just saying, if anyone ever encounter problem install homemenuhax 2.0, just follow this post https://gbatemp.net/threads/menuhax-v2-0-out.401521/page-4#post-5774158 to manual install the ropbin. Very unlikely you would have to, though.

Look at all the success of these happy users, while I cannot get this to work. Themehax and Menuhax has NEVER worked for me on any firmware.

What firmware are you using, do you have a secondary hax to fall back on and have you tried the official 2.0 installer?

 

[Ruby Gloom]

Simply trying to install themehax. I used the Homebrew app from Smea. Never worked on any firmware.

Well themehax doesn't work on the latest firmware version (10.2) and you'll need a secondary hax to install it. If you do have a secondary hax and you're still having problems, try this installer instead.

9.0 SysNand. 10.2 EmuNand. Browser is the only thing avaliable unless I boot GW into SysNand. I have Cubic Ninja on my GW.

 

[Pandaxclone2]

I'm not sure about SysNand and EmuNand stuff as I don't have a 9.0 - 9.2 3DS. Apologies for that.

Misery, you're not helpful! XD Just kidding. It's okay. I know I can be looking this up, but I don't have patience and want a answer asap. That's why I'm here on GBATemp

Well if I'm not mistaken SysNand is the official one, correct? If you can boot that one up and try using browserhax (Which should work) and install it then that should work.

If you don't mind me asking, why are you currently using EmuNand for the latest version?

 

[Ruby Gloom]

eShop access. SysNand is your regular system version. EmuNand is a emulated version of it. I cannot brick my SysNand, i'll be in deep -. But, if I brick my EmuNand, I'll be okay if I have a backup; which I do.

Well as far as eShop access goes, you should be just fine on that as 2.5 allows you to access the eShop even if you're on an older firmware (Case in point, I used it and I'm on 9.5)

And since your EmuNand firmware is on 10.2 it won't be able to install themehax.
