Hacking [Poll] Will you be installing ShadowNAND?

[Quantumcat]

If I didn't hit your spoiler my response would have been what is the point? My 3DS is just about useless without an SD card, I'm certainly never going to have any use for it without the SD card. In fact, I'm at a point that it doesn't even make sense for me to even take the SD card out, unless I'm installing a hacked version of a large game.

If the SD reader in your console breaks, it's going to be as good as a brick. With this, you can keep using your console.

Will I have to update A9LH from v1 to v2 first, then install ShadowNAND?
Or ShadowNAND update A9LH to v2 automatically?

You can safely update from v1 to ShadowNAND, I alreally did in that way

So I have to make a homebrew folder on my SD card or do I put it where all the other homebrew goes? This is what I'm asking >.<;

Make a folder called homebrew at the root of your sd card, then create a folder called a9lh inside of that, then put your files inside of that a9lh folder

Yeah, and if I drop my 3DS in water it wont be any good either. Not gonna live in fear of something that almost definitely wont happen. I keep good care of my 3DS, this shadownand is simply useless to me. Though I'm sure there are some people that don't take good enough care of their device where something like this could possibly be useful, again though, not me.

Also, as someone pointed out a page back: Without an SD card, it'll give an error message if there is no a9lh.bin found. That's it. That is all it will do. You wont be able to actually play anything on your 3DS, it will just inform you that your SD card isn't inserted. So yeah, a busted SD reader with or without Shadownand still wont work properly. Shadownand will just give you a message while standard A9LH wont display anything. Woop dee doo.

Yeah, it's not for everyone. However if you drop your 3ds in water with shadownand, it probably wont boot. If your sd card reader breaks and you have shadownand, you'll still be able to use it. Also not all breakings of your 3ds are usermade.

I've said, time and time again, ShadowNAND is not complete yet. This is just A9LH on steroids.

Maybe I should pull a @Wolfvak and make it private like he did because people don't know how to read.

I think he's talking about future shadownand, I think he knows its not complete yet.

I would do that. I keep seeing people just flashing this for no reason and not knowing that it's not ready.

Oh whoops o_o Sorry.
It seems like now I'm the one who needs to learn how to read...

Hey buddy, I'm talking right now. If in a week you have something better to present us, cool. But right now, absolutely not worth the effort.

1) This isn't the official thread.
2) This isn't an "INSTALL IT!" thread.
3) I'm not telling you to install it now, and I will NOT in the future.
4) If you don't like it, please leave the thread and don't clutter.

This is a thread asking if you'll install it and if so why? If its available in its current state, my answer is the exact answer I gave. I understand you aren't telling me to install it, I was giving the reasons as to why I wouldn't install it right now. Stop being so defensive. If your product improves, then my stance may change, not that you should care one way or another. I'm glad there are people like you out there making things like this for people that really do need or desire it.

So I see ShadowNAND Installer removed the uninstall option. Why? And how can I uninstall it without a NAND backup?

 

[Shadowhand]

Install regular a9lh v2 with AuroraWright's installer.

 

[SomeGamer]

So I do an "update" with normal SafeA9LHInstaller V2, then press Start to uninstall?

"Uninstall" is to remove a9lh completely, and you don't want to do that. Just "update" with SafeA9LHInstaller using A9LHv2 payloads from Aurora or Dark_samus.

I just want to know how can I completely uninstall it in case I'd ever need to send it in repair in the future.

 

[Shadowhand]

To completely uninstall A9LH, use SafeA9LHInstaller and choose uninstall, but you'll have no way of getting to a9lh without hardmod downgrading afterwards.
