just want a9lh? cool beans.

this means no 9.2/2.1 downgrade, just straight up safea9lhinstaller as an arm9 payload

don't do this if you care about your 3ds, and/or don't have ntrboot, that is not a suggestion

anyways, this guide assumes you have your otp already, you can get it from inside your luma folder, essential.exefs, or dump it manually.\

make sure the console is NOT modded with b9s, or a9lh

step 1. boring file copying

firstly, you will need all the files from here, for luma use version 7.0.5 instead, linked here, and use safea9lhinstaller 2.0.3, linked here. Follow section 1, when you put the safea9lhinstaller files in, rename arm9loaderhax.bin to SafeB9SInstaller.bin, lastly copy otp.bin to a9lh folder on your sd card.

step 2, choose your entrypoint

go to 3ds.hacks.guide , get your entrypoint, follow the steps, but don't copy SafeB9SInstaller.bin to your sd card (if this is mset9, rename SafeB9SInstaller.bin on the sd card to SafeB9S.bin)

step 3, pray?

hopefully you're in safea9lhinstaller now.., follow the on screen instructions to install, and hopefully boot, if you see nothing wait a minute, click select, wait 20 seconds, and power off, good luck (if anyone is reading this..)
