Hacking Is this like a A9lh brick? Can it be fixed?

[SleepingGuru]

So this dude was selling his n3ds xl http://imgur.com/IHRzPsk
He didn't know much about what he was doing, and couldn't tell if its bricked or partial, gave up.

"Worked fine until I tried to install A9LH, doesn't turn on just flashes blue on the LED for an instant then goes black"

Are these bad signs?

Can this be fixed?, I think he didn't put the correct files or messed up on a step. I sorta jumped the gun cause of the price and its bigger than my 2ds

Does this guy have the file arm9loaderhax.bin on the root of the sd card?

Yep what he said.

 

[xtheman]

Yep what he said.

What? Didn't see him say anything about that file.

I just meant to also try what you said

Convince him it's broken and get him to sell it to you for a fire-sale price.
that is kinda mean tho. it's up to you.

hint: if it turns off instantly after powering on, that means a9lh is successfully installed.

 

[SleepingGuru]

I shall ask, also the price I brought him down to $40 shipped. jumped it cause parts worth is hopefully double

Evil and Cheap. I like it.

Ok so . . . no sd card. This a dead end?

 

[uribemaster]

No it isn't a dead end. Just get an sd card and put in all the files necessary for the cfw of your choice and see if it boots. You are so lucky...

 

[SleepingGuru]

sweet thanks

 

[RupeeClock]

It's a deliberate feature of A9LH V2 to power-off instantly if no SD card is inserted, or no arm9loaderhax.bin is found on the root of the SD.
So yeah, that's all.

google wallet gamble done, I was cheated-no stylus or sd card, but everything mint besides that. http://imgur.com/a/KT5Zu
Exactly what files do I put on a fresh the sd card? i'm really confused

I downloaded and put the files from https://github.com/AuroraWright/SafeA9LHInstaller/releases/tag/v2.5

and I get a screen that says thanks to delebile, press select to update, start to uninstall . . .

Go to https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases

Grab the latest release, put the arm9loaderhax.bin from the archive in the root of the sd, and see if it boots.

stupid me realized I want to now switch sdcards from the 2ds thats on rx-e 10.1(late to the party, found out rxtools is dead). Do I just copy everything over? Should I do a system transfer first or after?
