V2.1: "b.bin" payload name was removed in AuReiNAND 4.1, fixed this guide to reference that
V2 of guide: Seperates instructions for updating AuReiNAND itself and for switching from Cakes.
NOTICE: This Guide is not a pure guide, it guides you through using only parts of an excellent guide and is intended for people who wish to switch to AuReiNAND or update to the latest AuReiNAND release ONLY and want to know which steps are needed and which are not to upgrade or switch.
WARNING: Check the links in the guide first before attempting to avoid issues if you delete any files without a backup and a link is down.
the files needed for all the steps are linked at the top of the guide listed below
The Steps listed are for this guide as of 3/30/2016 and will be updated when steps change
The guide used will be this exellent one @Plailect has made
https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-5-(arm9loaderhax-&-AuReiNAND)
---------------
For People Switching from Cakes to AuReiNAND
---------------
First, Follow these steps (under Preparatory Work)
Step 1
Step 7 (this will help you run Homebrew Launcher as a CIA, skip if you have done this already)
Step 8 (if you have files in the aurei folder, delete all files and folders except firmware90.bin (if you have this){This includes patched_ files also}
Step 9
Step 10
Step 11
Step 13
Step 14
Step 15
Step 16 (rename to "up.bin instead of "b.bin", "b.bin" naming was removed in 4.1)
Step 17
Step 18
-----------------
For People Updating AuReiNAND from an older build (updating payloads is listed below, but optional) I recommend doing so anyway.
-----------------
First, Follow these steps (under Preparatory Work)
Step 8 (if you have files here, delete all files/folders except firmware90.bin and payloads folder (if you have this)
Step 18
Step 19
Step 20
----------------
For People who want to update the payloads also (does not require updating AuReiNAND also) Assumes default.bin is Decrypt9, y.bin is EmuNAND9, and b.bin is Uncart
----------------
First, Follow these steps (under Preparatory Work)
(delete the payloads "default.bin","y.bin", and "x.bin" from the payloads folder)
Step 10
Step 11
Step 13
Step 14
Step 15
Step 16
-----------------------------------------
Next, follow all the steps from Configuring AuReiNAND (VERY IMPORTANT)
if you need to get back into this menu, hold select and press power button while console is off
That is it, you are done upgrading AuReiNAND to latest and have enabled FIRM protection so you can safely update SysNAND without bricking.
To run 3DSX homebrew, use DevMenu or FBI to install the Homebrew Launcher CIA from step 7 that you copied to your SD Card.
Here is a link to the homebrew menu starter package in case you do not have this

This is needed to use the homebrew launcher CIA properly

What you can do with a9lh and AuReiNAND (copy and paste from guide)
Your device will now automatically launch into CFW SysNAND. You will no longer be able to boot without the SD card in, that is normal.
You will now boot a Custom Firmware based SysNAND by default.
You can now hold Start on boot to launch Decrypt9, a full featured NAND tool. (L+R still works also)
You can now hold Y on boot to launch EmuNAND9, a full featured EmuNAND and SD management tool.
You can now hold X on boot to launch Uncart, a tool for converting a physical game cart to an installable file.
