7 years ago Also, in terms of my source, I did this recently on my New3DS XL with the new Guide and Plailect's recent fork of SafeA9LHInstaller (I always get a glitched screen on this console for some reason) and SafeA9LHInstaller never auto-reboots the console, it's always "press any button to shut down" after pressing select and A9LH is installed successfully, even with a glitched screen.
Perhaps these instructions are left over from a very early version of SafeA9LHInstaller, as I compiled my own A9LH installer for my old3DS and never used the early SafeA9LHInstaller builds? I don't know.
The Troubleshooting section of the Guide, under "SafeA9LHInstaller shows a glitched screen" says that:
1.Follow instructions as normal 2.Press (Select) and arm9loaderhax will be installed 3.The console will reboot If the console does not reboot, wait 10 seconds, then power off your 3DS by holding down the power button
These instructions are all wrong, as SafeA9LHInstaller never reboots the console, it only shuts it down after pressing any button after installing A9LH by pressing (Select), such as A (or any other button). Obviously, this only shuts the console down after A9LH is installed successfully (it won't shutdown in the middle of installation), so there's no issues with using this AFAIK. It seems much better than manually powering off.
In terms of the normal instructions in Part 5, the guide says: Press (Select) to Full Install The installer will now install arm9loaderhax on your device (this is very fast) Shut down your console, hold the power button until it turns off if necessary Copy your console specific OTP.bin from the /a9lh/ folder on your SD card to a safe location on your computer and back it up to multiple locations (such as online file storage), then reinsert your SD card into your 3DS
Once again, instead of manually powering off the 3DS, you just need to press any button after A9LH has been installed successfully to shut down So, what this part of Part 5 should look like:
Press (Select) to Full Install The installer will now install arm9loaderhax on your device (this is very fast) Shut down your console by pressing any button [you can put a specific button if you want to maintain consistency here]. Copy your console specific OTP.bin from the /a9lh/ folder on your SD card to a safe location on your computer and back it up to multiple locations (such as online file storage), then reinsert your SD card into your 3DS
And the "SafeA9LHInstaller shows a glitched screen" troubleshooting steps should look like:
1.Follow instructions as normal 2.Press (Select) and arm9loaderhax will be installed 3.The installer will now install arm9loaderhax on your device (this is very fast)
