Finally, i am done. That took awhile but most of the time was spend backing up stuff. So far worth it, thanks to everyone who offered advice when I got stuck. Also strangely I hoped the closing of smash brothers crashing the system problem would be fixed. Can't win em all I suppose. Still, my brother's gonna love it.

You will have to move your EmuNAND to your new SD Card.

EDIT: HERE IS THE TUTORIAL

Anyone else have a r4i sdhc dual core 2014, experiencing a black screen on launch? It's the one with the bomberman banner. Can only turn it off by holding the power button.

I think you are a bit off-topic. This is the "Who hasn't yet installed arm9loaderhax? Why?" thread.

"fix" what, exactly? The exploit basically points the system's bootloader to the SD card. I still don't get what people's fixation with this "issue" is anyways, do they REALLY use a system without an SD card all that often? Are they afraid of the SD card failing? (If so, it's as simple as frequently backing up your SD card, the same way as you would with any other data, and if push REALLY comes to shove, you can simply use a new SD card and pop on the firmware files, and you're good to go) Also, I'd be more than curious how exactly you intend to install games should this ever be "fixed"? (Here's a hint, the system itself doesn't have enough room open to fit an average game without an SD card). As it stands, you're actually further up shit creek (pardon the language) if you're using a menuhax setup, because 1. You're already relying on an SD card for the system to boot into the environment you're using, and 2. This is a bit harder to recover from, should your SD card take a nosedive on you...

Edit: and to address the one and only reasonable concern, keep a backup of sysnand before you install a9lh on it, if you have any possible intent on selling the system off long term, this can be used to bring you back to a full on factory system.

Yes, I may want to use the system normally. It shouldn't be reliant on an SD card to function. I don't care about recovering shit from my SD, I backup my game saves anyway. My current menuhax system is great. I want to be able to use the system should anything happen to my SD card; or if I don't want to use my SD card and just play my cartridge. In my current setup I can. It's the freedom of not being locked/reliant that I desire. I'm not reliant on menuhax; I can play my cartridge games normally without it.

Why would you want to restore it before selling? You'd be able to make a lot more money selling an already exploited system.

GameStop. Personally I agree with you, but some people like to have this option.

If you "back up everything anyway" , it shouldn't matter if your SD card fails. Replace it, copy contents of your backup over, and move on. It's actually harder to recover from an emunand failure than an a9lh sysnand setup, as you have to either have the partition extracted somewhere or an image of the entire SD card laying around...as for using the system without an SD card, I don't buy for a minute that you actually use it on a regular basis without one. Get over your irrational fear.

Okay so we are gonna get a solution for people like you. ShadowHand is working on an a9lh CFW which is on your CTRNAND partition, and a new A9LH payload. If no SD Card is detected, it would boot the CFW from your CTRNAND partition, giving you A9LH CFW without your SD Card. This is highly useful for people who rely on Cartridges for their games.
