I am trying to get step 11 done. So far everything has gone right but when CTRBootManagers purple screen shows, it reads:

Configuration file not found: /boot.cfg
Creating default configuration...
Press any key to continue...

Now, of course I have the boot.cfg in there, and I tried overwritting it and double checked the code written inside the file. Also gave it multiple tries but still nothing. And the screen just freezes, pressing "any key" does nothing and I have to turn off.

What am I doing wrong?

I overwritted boot.3dsx and boot.cfg from CTRs original .zip and then manually edited my boot.cfg from within the SD card. Maybe I messed up somewhere before.

Might've been improperly closed brackets.
Oh well, at least it's fixed now.
Probably, Im not overly familiar with coding. I know how brackets work, but I probably wouldnt notice if they are not right lol.

Im getting a new error thou. When I try to check TMD, after going to Inject FBI, emuNAND and press B for check TMD only, I get this:

Opening S....
Failed!

I am on new3ds. After step 10 I am having trouble. When I boot it boots to rx tools but it says err:couldnt load arm 9 payload. If I try to go to anything else the screen just turns red and nothing happens.

I've heard thousands of reports of this error pretty much everywhere.
Try one of the following:
1. Redownload firmware.bin.
2. Use the alternate rxTools version.
3. Inject it manually through d0k3's injection tool.

Third option is the n3ds method from your guide, correct?
Ill try this asap. Thanks.

Yeah, but it works on O3DS too, of course.

ERR:Couldn't load ARM9 payload happens when a file is missing or otherwise corrupted and unusable.
Try reinstalling rxTools and everything else.

Well, I'm stumped.
Your SD card might be kicking the bucket, I'm not too sure.
Does anything else work?
the Homebrew Launcher .3dsx should at LEAST work.

The boot entry works and it has different options to pick from. Rx tools gives me that error with purple screens, pasta and homebrew menus top screen is black and bottom is red but the system just hangs. Have to restart by holding power button.

edit: file browser, settings, reboot, and power off work. Netload too.

DONE! after days of trying before stumbling upon your guide I have emuNAND runing through rxTools. I injected FBI manually and then installed the CIA using de Health and Safety one btw. Thank you very much.

I have a question regarding the unlinking process. Given the fact that I actually ran TinyFormat before I even downgraded, so right now I have nothing installed nor any NNID associated with my sysNAND, would it be better to install and run TinyFormat in sysNAND instead? Would that keep my emuNAND intact, while still achieving unlinking and allowing me to later update emuNAND to 10.3 (Im on an o3ds btw) and signing in to my NNID?

EDIT: Solved. Thanks again for the patience and the great guide mate.

I've followed your guide with mostly smooth sailing, but I've gotten to the rxTools part. In CTRBootManager, I hold L and press A to open the rxTools menu. When i get there, it gives me "failed to load native_firm". Was I suppose to do anything else? I've made sure firmware.bin is in /rxTools/sys/

I'm on O3DS btw.

EDIT: Used the alternative version and things worked out.

This is beyond a joke now.
Let me put it this way: There's a certain limit to how much something can be idiot-proofed before it just becomes plain unfit for consumption.

My bad, I think the guide formatting made it kind of unclear to me, didn't intend to be such a huge burden with my one issue, lol. I fixed that anyways before I even finished posting, so not sure why you even replied to it, but thanks for the clarification, it may help someone else.

Started over using confirmed nightly, saw your 16a update, tyvm for addressing that. All appears to have gone smoothly but I have one final question, can anyone point me to a guide for restoring my mii/streetpass data from before the downgrade (is that even possible)? I have all these requisite backups, would love to get my old guys back.

/e: alternately/additionally, info on preserving this data for when I downgrade my main console would be very helpful.

I have EmuNAND running. Everything seems to be OK, except that FBI isn't working when I start Health & Safety. Any ideas?

EDIT: fixed this too

Ive just installed HBL cia on emunand, but it dosent work.

It reads

"failed to download the payload with http"

I know there´s something i need to do with it, but the guide only says "you have to edit the payload hold Y"

No, holding Y didnt got me anything

Hello,
I've a little stupid question:
Can I use oothax to go into rxtool with CtrBootManager?

Thanks you for your future answer :-)

    Thing is , the videos work fine in the Edge Dev and Canary builds. But whatever the fix they made was, has never been pushed to Beta or Stable builds. Its been that way for as far back as I tested. Which was Edge 84. They are on 125 now.

    @RedColoredStars, Yeah, and I was in quite a mood at that time. I would consider choosing Firefox or Opera instead, been using Firefox for over 7 years now than Chrome.

    Tried contacting Nintendo to see if they can reach out to MS about it. But Nintendo said the videos are working fine. Without enough people saying no, they don't work fine, it will never get fixed.

    I have Firefox and used it for many years. But Edge runs noticible faster on my pc at both opening and loading pages.
