TL;DR:
i want a way to remove the system update nag without needing to enter recovery mode
so, i have an o3ds xl, with updated cfw and all the stuff. i dont know if is banned or not, and i do not care. but, for whatever reasons, i dont want to update it. in fact at some point i intend to downgrade it because i miss the ntrcfw option to manually regulate screen backlight that got (accidentally) patched by nintendo at some version, i dont even remember wich, so please dont just say "just update it" and ignore the request
from time to time, i connect it to diverse wifi networks (so custom dns are not really an option) to do ftp and other stuff. with that scenario, its only a question of time before the 3ds downloads a system version update in the background and then starts bothering me to install it. wich i dont appreciate. moreso, when the home menu loading takes as much time as it takes (big sd, cluster size, custom theme, etc) without extra stuff having to load "just because"
the obvious and easy solution here would be to boot in safe/recovery mode, R L A up, cancel the update, and see with a smile how the downloaded update gets yeeted into the digital void. but that is not exactly simple for me, since i have fastboot, payloads, emunand, luma password just because i can, and whatnot, that get in the way of "pressing keys while booting". i could do the tedious work of disabling all that stuff for a while, injecting emunand into sysnand, deleting the update, restoring emunand to sd, and reenabling that stuff. but im just. too lazy. there has to be an easier way. even if it is not "invented" yet, the 3ds is so open in any posible sense that i find it hard to believe that it is not doable, and instead i just guess that, since the need for such a thing is so marginal, noone stoped to think/care about it
i have seen that luma "discarded" it as undoable a long time ago, but i want to think that enough stuff has changed since back then to make this feature more feasible now. cthulhu doesnt have such an option either, and a shallow look at godmode9 doesnt hint that it can do what i want either. i have tried the "update supressor" homebrew, but i think it was just to remove the update nag from the installed titles, not from the home menu (this meaning: on the upper screen, a small line of text saying to open the eshop to update the game, completely unrelated to updating the 3ds system firmware)
i do not have a github account and i wont take the time to open an issue there, so if someone think this is an interesting enough feature request and posts an issue on my behalf, i will be thankful. or, even better, if someone just says "yeah you can just use this thing to delete the downloaded update from sys/emunand" i will have my daily dose of joy fulfilled.
if anyone has actually read all that text, you have lost the game. just because.
edit: ah shoot, i posted it into the 3ds thing directly instead of on a 3ds subforum. my bad.
