Hacking Updating arm9loaderhax: Advantages?

[MushGuy]

I currently have a9lh installed on my 3DS and N3DS for several weeks, but I have my questions now: What are the advantages of updating a9lh to the latest build? How do I know which version I have installed (init screen? No init? I followed this guide)? And where do I find the latest update? I tried to ask before, but I got no response, so I'm trying again.

I'd like to know all of this as well

You can find all that info here: http://gbatemp.net/threads/luma3ds-noob-proof-3ds-custom-firmware.411110/

EDIT: For those who are already coming from an installed A9LH DS: https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Installation-and-Upgrade

You don't actually update A9LH. You'd just be updating the CFW that you use to boot into your CFW NAND. If you're using Luma3DS, you can update manually or using luma updater. If you want to update the system version, you can do that via system settings.

You can actually update A9LH. The most obvious case would to switch which fork (screen init vs no screen init).

I'd like to know the answer to the OP's question too. I may switch to a no screen init version in the future too, and want to be sure I'm doing it right.

Had no idea. Thanks.

There aren't any advantages really, but if you still feel like updating, use this https://gbatemp.net/threads/precomp...e2-bin-for-use-with-safea9lhinstaller.419712/

If you used Plailect's guide after the 2nd of May (2.5.2016), then you have the exact same commit as the one linked.

 

[quantumboy]

what are the differences between screen int and no screen int?
I mean they sound like something to do with screen but.. what?

 

[mokmoki]

what's the no-init version for?

The thing is I don't remember when was the last time I used the guide. Does it matter if I update to Delebis's payload, even if I have installed AuroraWright's? What's the difference between the two?

 

[CheatFreak47]

The difference is that the A9LH install itself powers on the screen or it doesn't at boot time.
Luma 3DS CFW initiates the screen when booting the home menu or any chainloaded A9LH payload so the No Init fork is best for people using Luma 3DS and don't like that brief screen flash at power on.

Aside from that, there's no major difference.

Personally I use Luma 3DS so I switched to the no screen init fork, and I want my 3DS as close to stock as physically possible.

Sorry the offtopic.

How can i run HBL with a cia with A9LH?

Download the CIA file and install it with your favorite CIA installer

On topic!
So really there's no major advantage to update to the latest A9LH build. It's not like you are going to loose support for any CFW or anything.
But there have been some feature updates including:
You system now just turns off if you don't have an SD card in it.
Cleaner code
Better support for loaders like ctrbootmanager9
And a few other technical stuff. But if you already have A9LH installed, there really no reason to update it. I do suggest if you decide to update, using
SafeA9LHInstaller
and
Precompiled payload_stage1.bin and payload_stage2.bin for use with SafeA9LHInstaller
Just make sure you know what branch you are using before updating. I am not sure if they've ever fixed switching between branches.

I alredy did it before.

Here where i got stuck.

Spoiler

So I'm trying to launch HBL to edit OOT save.

I've got here a OLD 3DS
A9LH - Luma3ds 5.4

HBL.cia installed.

SD root files :
3ds folder
boot.3dsx ( Download from website )
hblauncherloader_otherapp_payload_OLD-11-0-0-33-USA.bin ( Download as 10.7 renamed )

Its boots, says "The homeMenu Ropping is ready"

Come back to Home menu.

Sorry for ask. But i alredy read a lot of pages here and looking for google and got more lost then when i started.

Thank you if you can help me!!

Try another cia. Could be a bad file.

I was considering switching to Aurora Wright's no screen init fork too, and this thread and especially axewfious' post above made me want to try it today. I've just spent the last few minutes doing it, and it's easier and faster than I expected (gathering the files and copying them takes no more than 5 minutes, and the update process itself is instant).

This guide [http://hackinformer.com/2016/03/20/install-update-arm9loaderhax-safearm9loaderhax/] linked in Darthsternie's thread covers the update aspect, and SirBeethoven kindly provides the payloads pre-compiled here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/safea9lhinstaller-payloads.419774/

Now, the boot is 100% stock-like, so give it a shot if you want.

Can confirm. It's as simple as installing it, just use different payload_stage*.bin files in the a9lh directory (and using the arm9loaderhax.bin installer, instead of the *.3dsx launcher).

I used from
https://github.com/yellows8/hblauncher_loader/releases

Do you have better option?

That file should work. Maybe try an older version?

I solved the problema.

When downloading payload. I forgot the letter "U"
I was downloading with letter "E"

Now it's loading verywell and now can edit oot!!
