Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[SomeGamer]

I made a modification of FIX94's arm9select that turns the backlight on for default.bin if it's a cold boot (and if default_bl exists), but doesn't if it's an MCU reboot (meaning that you used something like Quick Reboot to reboot the 3DS, or exited a GBA game/DS game). That way you can still have the splash on the initial powerup, but the screen stays black and off like a stock boot after that, as long as you're using FIX94's arm9loaderhax fork as well. If anyone's interested in it, I can post it here.

I wish I didn't upgrade A9LH back then.

You could always use Dark Samus' A9LH updater plus a compiled version of stage0x5C000.bin to switch over to FIX's fork.

Edit: it's stage, not sector.

Any chance someone would upload that sounds like an interesting change

thats awesome! if you dont mind I would release a arm9select v1.1 for that

Careful, this breaks every cfw that's not AuReiNand on MCU reboot.
EDIT: nevermind, if it's just the backlight everything will be fine. However if cakes isn't set to autoboot it's going to be awkward.
About region free: you can't patch home menu from arm9. Need an arm11 thread to do it.

Everything that AuRei does is made on the arm9? (And I mean everything, including reboot patches and FIRMs protection)

Yes, aside from the code that turns the screen off to prevent the 3D bug.

And that's no good for this, you would need an arm11 thread which runs in the background AFTER firmlaunch. Two skilled reverse engineers I know (not sure if I can say who they are) failed at this as of today. I'm not a reverser

Can someone help me i put the updatedsysnand file into the rei folder then when i turn it on it hangs on a black screen yet when i delete the file it will load. P.S I have A9LH

I'm currently testing something for someone, this is something he's currently working on:

I 'm coding a custom ARM11 process, which would patch home menu.

Hopefully he's able to achieve that.
(Keeping that person anonymous, better safe than sorry.)

I have an idea of who it is, but yeah, let's hope something comes of it.

hey I recently did a region change on my emunand and Everything is working fine and dandy after I deleted the unnecessary leftover titles. Except one thing, the streetpass mii plaza crashes after telling me to input a message? anyone have a clue as to what might be going on?

Damn, hope you can solve it, you know, you're an amazing developer, the first one who bring us CFW on A9LH.

Can you rename folders? If not you need to install the keyboard cia for your region. I'm not sure where you can get it though.

I can't. maybe the software keyboard applet listed on 3dbrew if the right one? I'll try getting it with 3dnus and report back.

Edit: nope, that didn't work :/

Show a pic of your SDcard\rei\ folder.

Asking the same question over and over will not make a response come any sooner. If someone has an idea of how to help you they will tell you.

Why don't you try giving a little more information. Sysnand version, emunand version, a screenshot of your file\folder structure perhaps? Something to go on other than "Hey my shit's broken help me".
