Hacking 3DS Stuck On Black Screen When Booting Up

[Merch]

Boot into Decrypt9 or HourGlass by holding start when booting, go to "SysNAND Backup/Restore" then select NANDmin.bin. Let it work through the process and it should boot up as normal afterwards

Also, what do you think is the best time to make NAND Backups? Like, what kind of timeframe? Weekly? Daily? Because I'm trying to be more precautious about what I do.

Yeah, I mean luckily you made a backup, most people who want a quick process just don't do it then want someone else to help fix it. Let me know what happens after you've done it

Ok.

Ok.

I would say make it weekly, so if this works then make one immediately after. Then in a week make another one. I mean yeah it'll take maybe 30 minutes to 1 hour but each week just let it run overnight or while you're doing something else then you won't have any problems in the long run. But just to be 100% safe. Make a copy of the NANDmin.bin on your PC so you'll have the original backup to revert to in case of sd card issues.

Ok. Also, it worked. Thanks for your help.

I usually make a new backup before updating whenever Nintendo releases a new system update, but some may prefer more often.

That's actually a smart strategy. I'll try that as well.

so you have a9hl installed, did you then inject your sysnand backup? (by holding i believe start to enter decrypt9?)

homemenu cant load if you're still on 2.1 once luma is installed.

I fixed the issue; don't worry about it.
