Hacking Following Plailect's Guide, stuck at section IV of part 5. Can't boot to Hourglass9.

[orangejuicebob]

So I've been following the guide up until this part where I can't boot into Hourglass9 by holding start. I tried renaming the buttons to left, x, y, still nothing. Similarly, i can't launch into decrypt9 or emunand9 while holding x/y. I can still get into Luma's screen while holding select. What should i do?

Remove your SD. Now boot.
Does it turn off immediately?

 

[orangejuicebob]

Yes it does. Blue light comes on and fades immediately.

 

[Tenshi_Okami]

Did you put the Hourglass payload inside luma/payloads folder?

 

[Davidosky99]

Yes it does. Blue light comes on and fades immediately.

Okay, good you have arm9loaderhax installed. Just delete the arm9loaderhax in the root of the SD card and extract the hourglass9 .bin payload to the root
Then rename it to arm9loaderhax.bin .

Done. Do i boot now? Do i have to hold any buttons?

 

[Davidosky99]

Yes i have.

No, just boot and continue with the guide

Thanks it's working now. But now i'm getting "No usable file found" when trying to SysNAND Restore

Do you have any *nand.bin file in the root of your SD?

Do you have the backup in the SD Card?

 

[orangejuicebob]

Do you have any *nand.bin file in the root of your SD?

Do you have the backup in the SD Card?

Yeah i do. When i first backed it up i renamed it to emuNAND_original.bin and emuNAND_original.bin.sha respectively. So when i placed them both in the root and it didn't work the first time. So i tried renaming them both to emuNAND.bin and emuNAND.bin.sha. Still no luck.

Try renaming to sysNAND.bin

 

[Tenshi_Okami]

rename to sysnNAND.bin?

Ninja'd ;-;

 

[orangejuicebob]

Just renamed. Same message.

Are you sure you are on sysnand restore?

 

[Tenshi_Okami]

you could try Decrypt9, but make sure to choose sysNAND Restore (Keep A9LH) otherwise, you will lose a9lh

 

[orangejuicebob]

Are you sure you are on sysnand restore?

Yes, i've checked

does it do the same thing as hourglass9? do i just follow the same steps?

 

[Tenshi_Okami]

Yes, i've checked

No, its a bit more advanced and if you dont use the restore keeping A9LH, you can lose the hack and end up in 11.0 without hacks

is there a guide on how to do this anywhere?

Can you show us the root of the SD card with a pic?
