Hacking a9lh Reinand issue need advice

[kutteke]

Hello,

I was installing aureinand throug this guide : https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Get-Started
I have completed all the steps, set up emunand, downgraded, get otp, inject otp to emunand, removed emunand, installed emunand to sysnand as stated. I can boot decrypt9WIP holding L+R. Get a blackscreen on normal boot.

I went to sleep after this because i was going at it for some hours deep into the night, the day after i went to check the guide again and the guide was changed to first extracting emunand data and injecting to sysnand. My emunand is gone now so i'm wondering how i should restore emunand without a working sysnand to get data and inject so my sysnand will boot?

Can I just restore a copy of emunand.bin or should i get sysnand.bin restored. what course of action should i take to finish the guide ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Getting pretty desperate and read the guide multiple times to figure out a solution and was reading around but could not find any information. I tried the irc channel for a few hours but didn't get any meaningfull solutions. Hopefully someone with a better grasp on the situation has any tips for me?

O3ds xl red
16GB sandisk sd
10.7 emunand on backup and flashed to sysnand
sysnand backup also present

Thanks in advance guys

Try making an empty file called "updatedsysnand" in the rei folder. Just make an empty .txt and remove the .txt extension.

Checked and all the files are present.
should i restore a backup to sysnand or will this overwrite my a9lh?

I restored the sysnand to my first backup of 4.2 i'll just follow the above guide and not take the risk of bricking and setup an emunand. Is it ok to create emunand with gateway and do an update, then install rxtools?
