Hacking Updating firmware on o3ds 7.1.0-16E to version 9.2

[BinkyBong]

Hi all,

I've recently aquired an 03ds on FW 7.1.0-16E - I've managed to load up rxtools, setup emunand FBI and sysupdater. Apologies if the question is already answered elsewhere, but I can't seem to get devmode/pasta mode working on rxtools on this particular firmware to run sysupdater to 9.2, whenever I try - it just drops be back into sysnand without any access to FBI/sysupdater.

From what I've read - it seems that the only way to update is by getting hold of one of the following EU carts:

Tomodachi Life
Gardening Mama Forest Friends
Cooking Mama Bon Appetit

to manually update to 9.2, unless someone else knows of another way of doing it?

Thanks!

Binky

With rxdevmode you can run sys updater to update to 9.2

Devmode/PastaMode, and PastaCFW, are literally Sysnand with signature patches; it is suppose to put you back in sysnand and let you run Sysupdater. If it really isn't working in PastaMode/Devmode, then maybe try a more stable build, such as the Beta 2 build or the 10-02 build.

Thanks for the replies, I'm actually using RxTools-3.0-beta 2 and it just drops me into sysnand and I can't see sysupdater even though I've installed it on both sysnand and emunand using FBI. Sorry, which is the "10-02" build?

You used to be able to get the 10-02 (October 2 2015) build from the lavanoid site, but that's down now.
You can always try rxTools 2.5.2, which is commonly used to run sysupdater nowadays.

Wasn't 2.5.2 the one that causes bricks? I thought 2.5 was safe

Never heard of a brick caused by 2.5.2, and I'm sure I would get a lot of complaints in my thread if it was true

It had something to do with how pasta ran. It causes soft bricks if I remember correctly. @laramie we're we talking about this last night.

It was right when that extra crap was installed for faster boot time

Interesting.. although, the stuff added to make booting faster was introduced in 2.6, unless I'm misunderstanding you.

I'm not 100% sure but it would make sense why it was deleted for 2.6 and didn't come back till 3.x
