Hello,
my current setup is:
New 3DS with updated sysNAND (11.0.0-33E) with Luma 5.5 and Gateway 4.0b as a payload in luma.
Is it possible to remove the message: "You want to boot A9LH SYSNAND? Press L+R+SELECT to continue." and directly boot into Gateway mode?

You got three options.

1. Email Gateway telling them you don't like this, and tell them to add FIRM Protection while you are at it too.
2. Use the leaked 4.0a Launcher.dat, you can find it on a certain iso site people like mentioning and throwing around.
3. Use 3.7.1 Launcher.dat if you don't want to go to that site that shall not be named.

Thank you! Using an older Launcher.dat file fixed my problem.

Before the A9HL guide I was on 9.0.0 - now it shows Sys 9.7.0-25E. I can successfully launch the Gateway logo and hold the buttons to load the Gateway menu. But everytime I try to launch Gateway it just hangs on black screen...

I am not sure how everything works. I think it default boots to Luma3DS. How do I check? Because it just says Sys 9.7.0-25E, I followed the official A9LH guide to install it and Luma.

I followed the Plailect guide together with the part to transfer the EmuNAND to SysNAND, so now all my preinstalled CIAs are now on the SysNAND and can be played on there. The only thing is that My original firmware was 9.0.0 but I think because of this transfer my EmuNAND was on 9.7 that's why the current Lumas SysNAND is showing 9.7?

It goes into Luma3DS v6.5 configuration menu
oh,that's good,i thought something is wrong
you can update from the system settings from luma3DS to 11.2
also use the latest launcher from GW website,do you know who to make payload chain (pressing a button to trigger launching another boot instead on luma3DS)?

So I can directly update from the sysnand? Also I tried the latest launcher recently and it keeps asking me to initiate fastboot. Is there a way around that?

I already have a bootloader set up. Just trying to get around the black screen!

if you have A9LH and you have Luma,yes you can.
GW wont boot on 9.7 with bootloader ,you must boot from 9 to 9.2 or trigger fast boot option with chain payload.
on 11.2 there is no version to prevent that screen,on 11.0 there was a launcher that don't ask you this,but they didn't make anyone like that anymore.

Wait, I can use those launcher.dat and it will work on my 11.2 a9lh sysnand ?
what about what they patched/add to their launcher.dat since then ?

Rdit : oh..ok, so I can't, our posts crossed ^^

It worked! I updated to 11.2 on my SysNAND and used the launcher from 4.2 Beta from Gateway. I just chose the fastboot selection anyway when it prompts me at the dragon logo, and it launched! Now i can load 3DS too from the cart :)

Thanks so much guys for helping me
