Homebrew SigHax Updates and Discussion Thread

Quick question, does the installer auto-remove A9LH in the process?

Yes, but you need the secret_sector in the boot9strap folder....

I had it (as per Plailect's update guide), it was just strange that the installer didn't tell me. Thanks!

No prob, any time!

Would anyone recommend that we jump form A9LH to Boot9Straps now? Or should I wait a week or so for the process to be polished?

Just updated the two of my N3DSes and mega evolved from A9LH into sighax, That went quite smoothly. :B
3DS device - first-evolvution
Homebrew - second-evolution
emunand - branched third-evolution
A9LH - third-evolution
SigHax - Mega evolution.

there are no risk of installing sighax, but its a necesary update if you need a future version of luma, godmode9

with sighax you can use the future updates of luma and other firm payloads

Any confirmation of weather B9S will survive a system format ?

 

[popokakapetu]

Quick question guys can i format system memory on my 3ds after i installed sighax???

i think yes because sishax is installed in bootrom and bootrom can"t be formatted because if you format bootrom you will brick xD

If it's anything like A9LH, It would still remain intact after system format.

SigHax is installed in the FIRM partition, not BootROM (which is read-only).

Either way, "System Format" on 3DS doesn't actually format the NAND. It merely wipes user data.

If it did format the NAND, you'd need some way to reinstall the 3DS operating system.

Quick question guys but can I do the steps here https://3ds.guide/updating-to-boot9strap via FTP? feeling pretty lazy to open up my n3ds xl and take out the sd card. Also if I already have A9lh do I really need the luma boot file?

FTP works for transferring the files. (That's what I did.)

You do need the Luma3DS v7.1 boot.firm. Boot9Strap won't load files in the arm9loaderhax.bin format. Similarly, Luma3DS's payload chaining now requires FIRM format, so you'll need to update your payloads. (GodMode9 is updated; not sure about anything else.)
