hi. my son clicked update on his o3ds running luma a9lh. has been working fine usually with updates and my 3dsxl seems to have updated no problem. his just seems to boot to a black screen and freeze everytime. I can boot to the luma configuration screen holding select. can I save this or do I have to go through a restore or something? it's been a while since I followed plailects guide and can't seem to find a definitive answer. thanks in advance

Maybe the 3ds had some custom theme before updating? I don't know if that could cause an issue like this.
Try deleting homemenu ext data folder on the SD card and then try again.

I think it's a svcBreak on loading.
If I am right you can follow this guide to solve your problem:

https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/FAQ-and-troubleshooting

Note: always take a nand backup before doing system modifications (update, installing sys cias,...). It never hurts ;)
not sure exactly what the problem was but it seems to be fine now. thankyou for your help. I had a look at the link you posted and went to test the developer options...which wasn't there. it was still running v5.5. I updated the arm9loaderhax.bin to v6.? the latest anyway and tried the err display again. it booted straight up with no svc error so i guess the original file corrupted or something?? anyway I have a happy lil boy again. thanks and merry Xmas

Did your son update it from the Home Menu or from the settings?

Because if he did update it from the Home Menu,the 3ds might be bricked,do you have a Nandbackup and can you access to Hourglass before the 3ds is booting?

Did you even read the thread? His latest post indicates that it's working now.

Also I don't see how updating from Home Menu can cause a brick. What's the point of Luma Updater if you can't use it?

    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds
