Hacking Upgrade from a9lh to boot9strap problems

MuffinxD · May 23, 2017

I have problems at 'Section II - Installing boot9strap 1. Boot your device while holding (Start) to launch the Luma3DS chainloader menu' from the 3ds.guide website.

If i press start while booting it boots to the home menu and not to the Luma3DS chainloader menu... anyone knows how to fix that? and sorry for my bad englisch.

is the godmode9 .firm payload in /luma/payloads?

Edit: Also, is the SafeB9SInstaller.bin in the folder as well?

Yes, i placed every file in the folder the guide was telling me...

Older versions of Luma don't have the chainloader menu. (I think it was added in a post-6.6 nightly build.)

Rename godmode9.firm to start_godmode9.firm, then hold Start while turning on the 3DS.

Is the SafeB9SInstaller renamed "start_SafeB9SInstaller.bin" ?
Also, are you on the latest version of luma3ds ?

It still just boots into the home menu :/

Yes, i renamed it to start_SafeB9SInstaller.bin.

My Luma3DS is on v6.6 and my /luma/payload/ folder contains this 3 files

start_GodMode9.bin
start_GodMode9.firm
start_SafeB9SInstaller.bin

if this is any helpful...

Delete the start_godmode9.bin

Right, you're on A9LH right now. If start_* isn't working, try something like /luma/payloads/y_SafeB9SInstaller.bin

Then hold Y while turning on the 3DS.

Note that it needs to be the .bin payload for A9LH. Luma3DS 7.0.5 and earlier won't work with .firm payloads.

Make sure the directory is named "payloads", not "payload". I see way too many people making that mistake

MuffinxD · May 23, 2017

I tried everything now, deleted the start_godmode9.bin file, renamed start_SafeB9SInstaller.bin to y_SafeB9SInstaller.bin and my payloads folder was named payloads all the time.. but nothing works.

Idk maybe im missing a file somewhere :/

sora10pls · May 23, 2017

Are you running the latest version of A9LH? Could be that the screen just isn't initing.

Try renaming arm9loaderhax.bin to arm9loaderhax_si.bin?

MuffinxD · May 23, 2017

I just updated a9lh and now it works.

Thank y'all for helping me!

Their problem was already resolved, and OP even said they were following Plailect's guide.
