New Nintendo 2DS XL not booting with sd card

[RuiONE]

Hello gbatemp,

I currently have a problem with my New Nintendo 2DS XL with Luma3DS, GodMode9 and version 1.16.0-49E in which whenever my 8GB Micro SD Card is inserted in the console, it simply refuses to boot/go to the home menu.

I'm making this post after searching for an answer here, but I simply couldn't quite find an answer.

I have tried the latest Luma3DS, but it still doesn't boot, and I don't have a flashcard.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hello,

I have tried that, but it still doesn't boot.
I have also forgotten to mention that it gives a blue light, but no backlight.
Thank you by the way.

Does it boot to stock Sysnand? Does it boot to godmode9?

Does it boot to stock Sysnand? Does it boot to godmode9?

Only without the micro sd card.

If you have no Luma3DS on CTRNand you can do a CTRTransfer, or restore and older NAND if you got one.

I have tried a CTRTransfer, but unfortunately I had no success due to not being able to launch GodMode9 through the SD Card.

Does the system boots to the home menu when the sd card is not inserted?

forgotten to mention that it gives a blue light

The blue stays on with the black screen, or does it fade after 2~3 secs?
So simply, the system is not recognizing the sd card, and that's how it can't either read boot.firm (Luma3DS) from the sd card, and how you couldn't perform a CTRTransfer?
Did this issue occur randomly? And you never had any errors sd card issues in the past?
You should test the sd card with h2testw if you haven't already. Format it as FAT32 32kb clusters before and after the test. When it passes the test, format it and copy latest Luma3DS to the root of the sdcard and nothing else, and try again.
If the issue persists, you might have to change the sd card reader..

I have the same problem. This is exactly my problem. I decided to install the CFW on my N3ds XL last Monday and everything is good. Im on 11.16 btw. but today I opened my N3ds xl to change the analog stick after I put it back everything and I turned on I noticed it just stuck on blackscreen although there is a blue light. I left more than 20mins and it still in blackscreen with blue light.
I removed my SD card and it works perfectly fine. I tried different microsd they are all in Fat32 format but none of them work. SO IN SHORT - MY N3DS XL ONLY WORKS WITHOUT SD CARD. If I insert my SD CARD it will stuck on blackscreen with bluelight Please help Did I brick my N3ds Sd card slot? or is this a bug on 11.16?

Boot the Console to godmode9 without SDCard, then afterwards plug in the Card and mount it.

Holy cow, I completely forgot about this post...

I'm sorry everybody for not saying anything, but basically I just bought a different micro sd card, formatted it to fat32 and it just worked.

Thanks for the help given, and I'm sorry if I didn't say anything.

Sorry, but this makes me hard laugh, it just sounds like joke. Spamming in 5 different threads, crying for help because his SDCard is not recognized. And doesnt even checked one time the SD-Port. Maybe he need first get a oldschool Gameboy, to learn how to solve such problems.

Geee, why didn't i think of that..

The solution was to easy.
