Bajé mi 3ds y después de cambiarlo lo actualicé y obtuve un error arm11 y luego borré los archivos de mi sd y obtuve eso

You can try deleting /luma/pin.bin from your SD card. Also this is an English speaking site please post in English.

sorry, what happens if all the files were deleted from the sd and I don't have access to godmode9 or luma

No files on SD? So this pin is saved on CTRNAND.
Please provide latest Luma3DS boot.firm on a FAT32 formatted SD and try if it boots.

You can remove the pin.bin file from CTRNAND with GodMode9 (prepare it as well if booting from SD succeeds).

B9S is safe in this regard: Loading from SD is always preferred over loading from CTRNAND.


Good luck and have fun!

You can't access GM9 without first entering the PIN, it prioritizes the PIN screen before the chainloader.

That is correct. The pin is still laughable easy to remove, since B9S prioritizes the SD over CTRNAND.

Unknown Pin on SD? → delete it from SD with a PC → Done!
Unknown Pin on CTRNAND? → start from SD containing no pin → GodMode9 → delete pin on CTRNAND → Done!

Spoiler: Slightly off-topic

The only way to have the pin at least a bit of a hurdle, is recompiling B9S yourself for changing the priority. If CTRNAND has the priority, the only way in without the pin is ntrboot.

Yes, I tried it and it works.

I wouldn't recommend doing this for several reasons:

• Luma3DS screenshot functionality
• Access to game patching
• failsafe: Any problem with the files on NAND → only ntrboot can save the console (a corrupted boot.firm sometimes makes B9S stop and turn off instead of trying the other location)
• It won't stop a dedicated attacker
