Hacking A9LH black screen on boot help

[m37r01d]

hey guys, im trying to install A9LH on my sisters O3DS
i followed the latest version of Plailect guide, i started on 8.1
i got up to part 3 when i restore my nand backup, then deleted the 0000008f folder and just get a black screen.
i made sure i DO NOT have a firmware.bin file in the luma folder
i am still able to boot into D9, I also tried the test arm9loaderhax.bin and pressed "A" and the system does power down, so i know it is not bricked.
i reread the guide and i followed everything correctly (to my knowledge) but still cant get it to boot.
any ideas to point me in the correct direction to get this thing booting would be much appreciated

Try booting with the SD card taken out.

without the SD card the power led lights up for a split second then turns off

 

[SomeGamer]

Do you have another SD card?

 

[m37r01d]

not at the moment
im downloading the 9.2 ctrtransfer files now
is it ok to flash these over the nand restore of my 8.1 nand image?

Could you try moving the Nintendo 3DS folder onto your PC from the SD (thus deleting it from the latter), then booting with the card inserted?

Try restoring again a backup if you get Decrypt9 to boot.

removed the nintendo 3ds folder, same issue :-(

restoring now from my backup again

restored backup, same issue, going to try 9.2 ctrtransfer over my 8.1 restore

 

[m37r01d]

9.2 ctrtransfer fixed the issue :-)
thanks for all the help guys, i hope this helps anyone with the same issue

 

[Clector]

Good that you fixed it, saying so why you deletd the 0000008f folder?

 

[m37r01d]

im not sure what you are asking,
why did i delete that folder? the guide said to.

That's the theme cache AFAIK. It helps solving menuhax-related problems.

 

[Clector]

Yes, I know but if he was in 8.1.0-X delete it don"t do much, because only New 3DS Japan 8.1.0-0 Firmware have themes, mostly I don"t read the guide you said so I don"t know why it is done and I only was curious to know the reason really.

Wait just a second. Go to your System Settings then go to Nintendo DS Wireless Connections.

If it freezes, then post an issue here: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/issues/412 Because two guys did the same thing you did and Plailect is trying to find the cause of this problem.
