Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Kubas_inko]

there's a lot more information that needs to be here.

Already solved it. Problem was in 3ds.guide ctrnand transfer. Done it via decrypt9 and everything works like a charm.

use a different custom firmware if you really need all of these disabled. or change the source and use a custom build. you could also chainload a patched NATIVE_FIRM.

is there another custom firmwa with b9s support other than luma?

You can get rid of python script and H&S stuff too unless you use it. Keep files9 if you use Decrypt9, if not you can delete it. If you're using the Phalk's fork of JKSM, you can delete JKSV too, but I would make a backup of that.

Yes! It's safe to update your 3ds.

Luma's input redirection isn't working for me for some reason. I have been looking through pages all day and could not find anything. Any idea why it's not working? I have an O3ds on 11.5.

i had just a strange Occurance a abit ago when i was going to grab an R4i Gold 3ds dump for someone in the homebrew section, i had to force power off my N3DS aftre the Minecraft port locked the system up trying to close via Home menu. was late at night, so i was too tire dto do much else but put something mindles son tv and zonk out... when to make that backup and my 3DS took nearly 2 mins to boot w/ it in the meantime flashing the Wifi light in a 3 Bilinking pattern some seconds apart as if it was displaying a Error Code. i've never seen this happen be it w/ A9LH/Luma 7 n older or utill now w/ B9S and a luma 8.1.1 Nightly.

wa sthis an indicator of something crashing or erroring out?

Can Miiverse be set to boot the homebrew menu?

Can Miiverse be set to boot the homebrew menu?

Probbably but why would you? its just about a month before it's Shut Down.

Because the icon and application will remain even after it is shut down so why not make it actually useful for something like booting the homebrew menu?

when it shuts down, its only going to toss a Error message teh service has Shutdown and it wont actually load into it, if it loaded then thru the error, thats going to look just as suspicious that you have a long playtime associated with it if your online after it's shutdown.

For anyone who wants it (such as for loading older *hax dependent homebrew), I made a custom version of the last legacy version of Luma that loads everything from sdmc:/lumalegacy/ (or in theory nand:/rw/lumalegacy but I have not tested loading from nand) so that it can be chainloaded from Luma without any conflicts. The .firm file is in bin (there are actually two but they are the same, just with different names), the source code is in src (note that if you want to recompile it yourself you will need to do "make clean" first), and any modified source files have a corresponding .orig file (such as fs.c.orig). To use it, just stick the .firm file in /luma/playloads and load it like you would any other .firm payload.

Note that this will not be updated any further and will probably quit working after a while however Rei6 (which can also be chainloaded from Luma) will probably be out by then so when it comes out you can just put rei6.firm in /luma/playloads instead.

 

[SirNapkin1334]

This is a weird question, but I'm confused. Is the chainloader loaded when there is more than one payload, so is that the chainloader, or is the chainloader simply what loads the payloads?
Also, really stupid question, but when luma loads a payload, is it loaded into memory, or is it constantly reading from the payload?
Also, I have an EmuNand for messing around, but how can I set up a second EmuNand? Just temporarily, so I can downgrade to 9.1, then use GM9 to harvest the 9.1 homemenu CXI, and so I can use it in Citra.

I have question about PIN funtion:

I know that I can PIN inside CTRNAND, then, (except NtrBoot) there is any way for evade the PIN?

For example, If I forget the PIN and I haven't flashcard for NTRBoot, How I could evade the PIN?

Yes, you could put boot.firm on the SD card and it will boot from there with its config, which won't have a pin attached.

You can use any CFW or GM9 from your SD to boot past it. B9S sets SD boot to priority, so you can use any CFW (including Luma3DS itself) to boot right on past the CTRNAND boot.firm. You can also set gm9 to boot.firm and delete your setting if you really want to.

I updated to Luma 8.1 and I can't get my physical copy of Pokémon Sun to boot anymore! I tried going back to 8.0, but it still crashes every time I try to start it. Digital games work just fine. This is what the error says:

An error occurred (ErrDisp)

Error type: generic

Process ID: 15 Process name: menu Process title ID: 0x0004003000009802

Address: 0x002294c0 Error code: 0xc8804497

Press any button to reboot

Any help?

Oh, this a New 3DS XL with everything updated to the latest version, using B9S.

Just had a similar issue and fixed it by changing the date and time to be current and correct.
When I modded this particular 3ds last night the date/time was changed by the cfw install but the 3ds itself was not changed. Changing both times to match fixed this error for me.
