Hacking I lost A9LH

But OP is 100% sure he was in Luma. We have to take his word.

 

[Clydefrosch]

do you have payloads for hourglass9 in your luma/payloads folder?
does anything happen if you hold y, start, l or r during the boot (like, hold it before you even hit the on-switch)

From a diagnostic and repair standpoint, you're completely right. We can only work with what we know, so it is useless to doubt OP, and if OP is wrong, it isn't our problem anyhow.

Once we widen our lens beyond OP, however, blind trust gets us into trouble. In this thread alone we already have people fretting about mysterious bricks and vanishing hax. And while it's certainly possible that there's some console-eating bug that has been overlooked, it's far more likely that OP did something dumb and just doesn't know it.

If I had a dollar for every idiot who screwed up and posted something like "Guiz my console is bricked but I didn't do anything wrong I swear," I would have a lot of dollars.

I completely agree, haha. My first instinct is the update in question was completed in Gateway mode, too. However we only know what OP has told us. I do bring back the case about the N3DS I was talking about earlier though, but I never really followed the thread too much so I don't know if Luma was at fault, but it definitely was accused of being at fault at the beginning. Maybe the same thing happened here and it's as rare as, say, OTPLess bricks.

You didn't update in GW SysNAND somehow did you?.. if so that can result in a brick, download and place the latest arm9loaderhax.bin from the luma release page and see if it boots into the config

Nope, he already confirmed this, OP was 100% certain he was in Luma CFW and not GW.

When you load up your system (if it even does) does it say "Ver" or "Sys/Emu" ?

If Ver - youre in non-cfw

If Sys/Emu - youre in luma cfw sysnand or emunand

He cant boot luma anymore.

CFW is gone; what we're trying to figure out is how/why.

If OP cannot boot luma, but does their 3ds load? Normally. If so, no booting luma - somehow on latest stock firm idk.

This quite an interesting case.

From what has been said, OP can boot normally. However, there seems to be something weird about the system settings app. OP says the console freezes when he tries to open it.

Probably trying to load ds profile exploit.

Well. Very interesting indeed.

It really is. xD

This would make sense since OP is using Gateway. I'm uneducated on how MSET exploit works because I've never used it.

OP made no mention of this. They did, however, delete the bad words list.

It just crashes the app and add ROP within the trash generated for loading a payload.

Last I checked, the MSET exploit doesn't take place until you go into the DS Profile settings page in the 3DS Settings app.

Man, the 3DS hacking scene has really evolved since the MSET/web based exploits.

True he didnt. Im just making an assumption.

 

[Havok10]

To OP: You have tried taking the Gateway Cart out correct? I've see instances where if the cart is plugged in it does strange things with luma.

 

[proflayton123]

OP did you chainload using GW with luma? Oo
