Hacking Who hasn't yet installed arm9loaderhax? Why?

[DaChosenOne]

A9LH (or arm9loaderhax) is a system exploit that takes control over your system very early on boot, making it possible to run (on boot) custom software not signed by Nintendo, such as a Custom Firmware and that otherwise would be rejected by the console.

Luma3DS is your Custom Firmware (what gets loaded by A9LH on boot), and this is what makes it possible to install unsigned apps and games to your homemenu, among other things. One could run Luma3DS (or another CFW) without setting up A9LH. A9LH just makes it more enjoyable since it boots faster and is a more permanent hack than others.

I like to try to use other CFW other than Luma.does that mean if I install ntr, technically I could have Luma and ntr at the same time?

mmm whatcha smea

is that a "yes, I'm interested in buying" ?

Yeah I still don't get the big deal with devmenus anyway when we're all hacking to hell and back...It was just a suggestion. #Sorry

Don't be sorry for giving advice and being a contributing member of the community, I'll try it later. And yes it's illegal but you hacking your 3ds is probably illegal to, also it's not like you were sharing links either.

An alternative to FBI would be the BBM. I have never successfully gotten FBI to inject myself but using BBM worked like a charm everytime. User preference really but I prefer the BigBlue Menu to FBI any day......

Unfortunately BBM didn't work either.

Your redNAND is on 9.2, correct? Use browserhax, and try the .3dsx version of FBI to install FBI onto it. However, you'll have to re-do this after you format it, as it won't be injected into H&S.

You'll need to upgrade to 9.2, so you'll need to do the 9.2 Update of the guide first.

From there, you'll follow the rest of the A9LH guide.

Thanks ill try.I hope i wont brick my 3ds

Be sure to do a system format, prior to downgrading, to avoid this issue:

Use SVDT through HBL, to get any of your digital saves out, if any.

Yes! NTR can be launched through a CIA (called BootNTR), so that you can run it on top of another CFW (in your case, Luma) and have access to the NTR menu.

Be aware that development for NTR was recently discontinued (for the moment?), but you can still find the latest releases here.

My emunand is on 11. Updated it to the latest before trying to inject hs.

[EDIT] Im just gonna format my SD, reinstall red or emunand onto a fresh card, downgrade to 2.1, get my OTP thing, then restore the emunand backup I have that has all my games installed including FBI and BBM. Hopefully this works.

Either convert .3ds to .cia, download .cia directly, or use CIAngel to install apps from the eshop directly.

You have to convert *.3DS to *.CIA because there's currently no way to run *.3DS files without a Gateway or Sky.

You can covert them to CIA if you want.
You could also download the CIA versions at that ISO site too.
Or maybe use that eshop ticket stuff, never tried it

Do whichever works for you.

On topic....

I'm just lazy the old way works fine and I know how to use it well.

Get CIAngel and download & install the games straight to your 3DS without even needing a computer :-) JK's save manager should be able to convert the gateway saves to cia ones I think.

Ntr isn't really a stand alone firmware. You launch it from another cfw. You can use other cfws besides luma with a9lh. It's just that luma is the best option.

-Im too lazy to do that
-Im scared i might brick my 3DS in the process...
-Im not using that much my 3DS anymore. I more busy with my Wii U...

Installed it today. It was tedious for what its worth to be honest, but it's definitely the best available option after seeing how it is and whatnot.

These both are literally me. This is it. Right here.
Plus, why fix what isn't broken? I'm tired of moving files around endlessly. It does what I need it to do very well and so that's that.
