CFW coldboot + Homebrew Launcher with app returning
I will skip most of the details because I assume you have already installed HBLauncher and read CFW coldboot guide by ChrisN8 , if you haven't then you can read it here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/rxtools...rom-browserhax-homemenuhax-to-rxtools.398420/
By doing this method you can get a CFW autoboot and an access to Homebrew Launcher via CIA. There is a plus side to this too, normally quitting a homebrew app would bounce you back to CFW but we'll change that.
First of all, install HBLauncher Loader. It allows you to access HBLauncher via CIA from a CFW.
Find menuhax_ropbinpayload.bin, Hex Edit using a program such as HxD and search for the following string: boot.3dsx
Change boot.3dsx to something like b3ds.3dsx, make sure you do not remove or add another character to the string or else the payload will mess up. There should be 2 results, change them both.
Now rename either your CFW boot.3dsx or CtrBootManager boot.3dsx to b3ds.3dsx, depending on which one you are using.
Rename the HBLauncher boot.3dsx (presumably bootHBL.3DSX from the mentioned guide) back to boot.3dsx.
This method is quick, easy, and efficient. You get the best of all worlds. Not to mention quick access to HANS.
