Hacking Not able to boot into Gateway Mode

madbullman · Dec 8, 2016

I have an old 3DS and the version is 9.2.0-20E.
Everything was fine until i decided to use Emunand so i could play online.
After formating the Emunand and reinstalling menuhax i am not able to start the Gateway Mode.
When im in the hombrewlauncher and choose to start gateway my system goes into a never ending black screen and i have to turn it off. What could cause this kind of problem?

Menuhax and the hbl is well known for its bad bootrates under a emunand.Keep trying or switch to a9lh instead of menuhax with this guide https://plailect.github.io/Guide/

Do you have the latest Gateway launcher.dat? 4.2 I believe is the latest version.

Either way It would still be a good idea to install A9LH+Luma. Then just setup Gateway to work with that setup ..

My Gateway had really bad bootrates originally with the DS Profile exploit (not sure why tbh ..), but after installing A9LH+Luma and using Gateway payload, it hasn't failed to boot even once .. though it may just be coincidence lul.

That's odd, the MSET entry point has a 100% boot rate ordinarily.

Yeah that's what I thought too .. I bought the 3DS used and the seller claimed he never had that problem. After I'd boot into Gateway, the light on the Gateway card would shine .. sometimes in different colors, sometimes not at all, but whether the light shone or not didn't seem to affect whether I booted or not .. if I didn't boot, I'd get stuck in an eternal black screen after the Gateway logo. The seller claimed the card is not even supposed to shine in the first place so idk. Haven't had that problem now, though granted I've not booted into Gateway too much since using CIA's is just much easier.

Because of how annoying it was to use Gateway back then, I never shut off my DS after I managed to get it boot .. probably killed my battery somewhat by doing that <.<

So im almost done with this. Everything worked fine except the last step. Injecting FBI does work i get no errors but when i start health and information it starts the default application NOT the FBI. Tried doing troubleshooting guide with Godmode9 but this does not help. Anyone know what to do?
