See now, the date or the version of the Launcher.dat file isn't the same as the version of your EmuNand. EmuNand is literally an emulated Nand, this means when you see the dragon logo of gateway and the home screen appears, you're now in a separate Nand, like a Virtual Machine on PC. So you have to get into the settings of your emunand and at the bottom right of the screen you'll see a number. If that number starts with GW this means you're in the gateway emunand and the number after that is your firmware version.

This system was built so you could update your emunand but keep your sysnand un-updated so you would have an entry point for the hack on the sysnand but play online games on emunand. If you've never updated your emunand, it's probably the same version with your sysnand and that since that version is so old, this MIGHT be the cause of your problem.(I'm no way a pro on 3DS, this is just a guess.) However, DO NOT UPDATE YOUR EMUNAND FROM SETTINGS since gateway only supports emunand up to 11.2 and if you update today it's gonna update to 11.4 and you'll have a black screen until gateway DECIDES to update their launcher.dat file.

There are other ways to update Gateway Emunand to 11.2 without having to update it to the latest 11.4. But as I said, I don't know if this is the source of your problem. You may also want to check out Luma CFW, I'm considering switching to it since it seems a lot easier compared to Gateway.

My advice, write your Emunand Firmware here(GW XX.XX) and maybe other people will try and guess the source of your problem.

Ok! Now I understand better! Thank you! The weird thing is, when the Dragon appears and I go to see the version and I don't see the "GW" in front. Or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? Where exactly is this "settings of your emunand" 'cause I see the bottom right but with no "GW" before the number...

Okay, I have a new 3DS XL and accidentally updated to 11.3. I had Luma3ds on emunand and was wondering what my options were in regards to being able to boot back into luma (if it's even possible)

I don't have al9h.
Replace your Luma files with ones from 7.0.5. You just have an outdated version.

You seem like you're looking at the right place but I don't know why you don't see GW. How do you get into the EmuNand(see the dragon logo)? with DS Flash card or Browserhack?

Hey! I've got a Old 3DS XL I got to 2.1. Stupidly, I didn't make a backup (I know). Is it safe for this O3DS XL to update through system settings or will this brick? I'm aware a N3DS will, but I'm having difficulty seeing if mine will.

You can't get CFW on your version unless you have another console that already has CFW or you get a hardmod. See https://3ds.guide

An alternative is to buy a Sky3DS flashcart, since it works on all versions, but that's not recommended since you can't do as much with it as you can with CFW, and it costs the same as a 2DS. You'd be much better off buying a 2DS on lower firmware, hacking it, using it to install CFW on your console, then selling it. You may even make a profit.

Unfortunately it's kind of hard for you to hack 11.4 device but here's how if you're interested https://3ds.guide/installing-boot9strap-(dsiware)
If you can (and willing to) afford it, I'd recommend buying Sky3DS

You can update it if you already have CFW. It's only N3DS and 2DS that shouldn't update from 2.1. If you haven't installed a9lh yet you're going to make life very difficult for yourself if you update.

Holy crap I lucked out there! I've done everything except finalizing the CFW install on 2.1. Is it safe to do so? The tutorials I have place reverting to the backup before messing with the CIAs.

Edit: Thanks so much for the help!!!

Install a9lh (hopefully you have a copy of the old guide) then you can update :-)

What would be the best place to sell my hacked 3ds and how much more could you get for it compared to unhacked ones
Any online classifieds, and it depends on the population where you live. If there are lots of people trying to sell hacked devices and the knowledge level is high, you won't get much more. Like maybe $10 or $20. If the knowledge level is very low, you're in a wealthy place, and you're the only one selling, you could potentially make double.

I've installed it, and when I go to update through the settings or use a game cartridge to update, I'm getting that an error occurred. :/ No error code or anything

Make sure your DNS is set to auto. Also try using a phone hot spot for your internet source.

Hey hey! I'm new here, and I have some questions, could someone please help?

I'm veeeeery noob about CFW and all these stuff. When I unlocked my 3ds I used this tutorial:

http://www.yakaracolombia.com/2017/02/actualizacion-a9lh-fbi-247-luma-66.html

And when I heard about the SIGHAX I changed with this one:

http://www.yakaracolombia.com/2017/05/cambiar-de-a9lh-sighax-boot9strap-super.html

I've installed FBI, *That* eshop and lots of games from it. By that time I didn't knew about gbatemp, and now I aware that those tutorials that I've followed are not very trustfull. Anyway, I would like to know how I can upgrade Luma, FBI, Sighax (There is a hidden function for me to upgrade from my 3ds?)? And how can I play online, since my FW is 11.1.0-34U. Is it safe for me to install the latest FW from nintendo? Or what should I do?

Thank you very much!

I hope the guide you followed have the exact same step of 3ds.guide...

As for you questions:
- In order to update Luma just either use LumaUpdater or download the latest release of Luma and replace the boot.firm file on your sd card
- FBI has a builtin update function, so just use that (if you have injected FBI over H&S app, install FBI as a normal app first by installing its .cia and then remove the injected one)
- Sighax/Boot9Strap currently has no updates, so meh don't think about it
- In order to play online, make sure you have the latest version of Luma installed, then just update your 3DS normally from System Settings

Obviously for the future stick to GBATemp and 3ds.guide for everything

That is all you need to do. Please listen to my warnings and do not update to the latest hourly.

Yes, you can install the .cia also by scanning the QR code through FBI in the page I linked before, so you don't have to transfer the file at all
