Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Klynn]

what do I gain from b9s? and no, I couldn't care less about that extra second boot time or "cleaner code".

Posts in thread "I wish I could update my CFW but I'm on a9lh"

Also posts "Why would I not stay on a9lh"

I see you're just being stubborn to be stubborn.

OK, thanks. So at this point is it sufficient to download the latest release and copy boot.firm to my SD card? Will that allow 11.8 to work correctly? Just want to make sure I get this right before updating.

That is correct.

I really would like to see some a9lh CFW that allows 11.8 install and is still supported. for now I will stay on 11.6 and luma3DS 6.x.

There will never be until you manually backport it. Developers don't want to use a9lh anymore, it's a worse environment than boot9strap.

so where do I get the nightly for 11.8?

https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases - Official release for 9.1 up now.

Ok, it's been a while since I've done this. But just to be sure, I should update Luma, and then update to 11.8, right? Or does it not matter? Also, is there a new version of Luma Updater which I should install?

 

[bangzoids]

ok for Luma 9.1 I need only copy boot.firm as always or I need to do something for that "exception_dump_parser" folder?

Hello, N3DS 11.7 FW here!!

I have old bs9 1.2 and old everything else ( fbi, godmode9, homebrew? etc), I have never update them from luma 8.0 times (when I did the guide). However I did updated luma (manually) to 8.1 long ago, my question is:

1. Can I still just replace my old luma 8.1 to this new luma 9.1 even though nothing else is updated? problems?

Thanks in Advance!

^Same question as her.
Is it okay to update to Luma 9.1 even though I am still at 11.7?

 

[Danook28]

Yes only replace boot frim

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

From luma 9.0 to 9.1 boot frim

 

[ShadowOne333]

Yes only replace boot frim

From luma 9.0 to 9.1 boot frim

Why do we need to replace that boot firm?
And how to we replace it?
Would it do something odd if we don't while on 11.7 with Luma 9.1?

 

[Danook28]

No you can update luma after

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

If you want to update

 

[Purple_Heart]

you need to replace boot.firm because it is the Luma3ds Payload

 

[The Catboy]

when will he compile a release to fix 11.8

She actually recently released 9.1, which fixed 11.8 and added several new features.

After holding L, change your home menu theme. Then try again. Sounds like you have menuhax installed.

hi and thanks for great forum . I have a new 3ds XL and some of my ex friends hacked my 3ds . now I don't have access to him and I stickers in hell & I don't even know what method used to hack my system so finally I can update my console .

clue: when I boot my console it will load straight into cfw and no need to do anything about it .
also I had a luma icon before I accidentally deleted it .

how can I find out what method used and how can I update .
