its not working sir.. when i insert my new sdcard i cant press the (b) because i eject my SDcard.. BTW sir is it ok to use micro sdcard with adapter?
My goodness good sir, don't get stressed out. You're almost done, and your problem is not that hard. First of all, you don't need to do a backup if you're on v2.1 and already have a9lh. Just restore the NANDmin backup you made during the 2.1.0 ctrtransfer part. Now if you insist on doing another backup, press select on hourglass9 to unmount the sd card, then remove it and copy all its content to a larger sd card (a micro will do just fine). After that, insert the new sd card and press B.

I see you have sd card with capacity of >=64gb. You need to use a 3rd party app to format is as fat32. I personally use minitool partition wizard.

I did something similiar to this the first time, its easy to fix delete the ctr transfer 2.1 files and restore nand from backup (Needs the sha file in same folder) then your good to go. If you finished the guide you would be on your original firmware.

You need to backup sysnand, not emunand. May I ask why you're backup up your nand again?

You do not have to backup emunand or sysnand, you have to restore it. (edit. Sysnand. You gotta restore sysnand)

He doesn't need to backup sysnand, he's already installed a9lh, he only needs to restore the original one.

I mean, he can delete those files, but he doesn't need the space, he needs to restore sysnand. What he does need to do is copy the full contents of the card to the pc, format the card to fat 32, then copy the files in again, and try to restore sysnand. Restore, not backup.

That's what I'm trying to find out as to why he's backing up. Maybe he has his reasons.
