problem with part1 homebrew #221

Closed githubba11 closed 8 years ago

githubba11 commented 8 years ago

hi firstly thank you very much for your guide. for a total noob like me its very helpful to have definite steps to follow. so : THE STORY TILL NOW: my 3ds was on ver 7.0.0 13-E so i began with your update to 9.2 section and i think it ran smoothly as the 3ds now shows 9.2..E

THEN i continued with part1-homebrew and ran into a PROBLEM

when i run the browser exploit with the slider my 3ds crashes. in different ways : at first it showed a black screen on the upper and a red screen on the lower display after at first flashing different colours on the lower screen as i kept on trying now the lower screen flashes different colours and somewhere, the exact time keeps changing (sometimes it kicks me out immediatly without any colourflash at all), in that process it kicks me back to homescreen and gives an error message saying i should save my data and restart.

i retried it again and again but no luck

do you have any suggestions? should i perhaps rerun rxtools and try it from the homemenu that allows me to run fbi? could it be that the update to 9.2 didnt install properly ( i read somethin about partial updates somewhere)

please help me i dont know what to do any more

greetings Michael

oh yes i continued with part 1 after updating to 9.2 not part 3 is that an issue?

rsubtil commented 8 years ago

I remember having to try around 20 times when I was on 9.2. Just try clicking on the right side of the slider. And, if you haven't, click on the button to change theme for the Nintendo to create the files needed for menuhax.

rsubtil commented 8 years ago

Also, you must follow Part 1 and then Part 3 to 5.

githubba11 commented 8 years ago

thanks for the answer

i started with part 3 could that be why its not working?

i tried like 40 times already - well will keep on trying then

quizque commented 8 years ago

I have had this issue before this way don't work for all and sometimes it can take a lot of try's but I want you to try all 3of these a least 20 times each

  1. Click the slider ONCE and DO NOT touch anything else until you boot into HB launcher
  2. Click the slider ONCE and spam the a button until the HB launcher opens
  3. Spam the slider Until it starts to load
    To increase your chances for every time you do it initialize save data that's works for some people. I hope this helps!

the farthest it gets is : after cycling through several colours on the upper screen some code is diplayed for a millisecond or two and then the upper screen is black the lower is red and there it stays no error message at all the 3ds just freezes

quizque commented 8 years ago

Hmmm ok try this. Remove any payload files off your SD card then redownload the HB starter kit it may of gotten corrupt. When that happens it works but it just doesn't load the boot.3dsx on the root of your sd card.

what do you mean with payload files ? just the starter folder?

githubba11 commented 8 years ago

with your tip to spam the a button im now getting the freeze on the black/red screens more often i also made a screen shot of the computer code that is displayed right before that freeze perhaps it is helpful

3ds error browserhax homebrew screen top black down red

githubba11 commented 8 years ago

in the home menu my health and safety app /fbi app is missing could that mean that something went wrong with my update from 7.0 to 9,2 (done with with rxtools3.0) ?

githubba11 commented 8 years ago

SOLVED IT!!!!

first THANK YOU for all your help turns out that in the end it was a case of MY OWN STUPIDITY in not reading the guide correctly

i put the starter folder from smealums starter.zip in the root directory instead of the contents of the starter folder (facepalm facepalm facepalm)

read the guide again very carefully then put the contents of the folder in root and IT WORKED

sorry guys for all the fuss all my fault

but thank you again for your big willingness to help and your quick advice

so problem is CLOSED
