Homebrew Having trouble with 3ds.guide, any help would be appreciated.

[lolcatzuru]

So, i've been folowing the guide, as i said, and i know that i have to follow it exactly ( why else would they write it like that) So im in section 4 part 4, where i am to use Hourglass9 and reboot into the nand etc.

So this is where my problem comes into play, H9 won't actually work, and i have tried EVERYTHING to get it work, below is a list of what i tried.

1. I tried simply renaming it ( i.e. Up_Hourglass9.bin)
2. Deleted config.bin and ext home menu data
3. Redownloaded the most recent h9 files from github
4. Renamed it to arm9loaderhax.bin ( i did back up my old one, thankfully.

I pretty stumped as to what the problem could be honestly, Is there anyone huge problem if i just reinstall a9lh and re go through all the steps? Any advice would be helpful!

btw, as a side note, when i do hold down start, it simply hangs for a while, and boots into the actual home page.

Define "wont work"

Is your folder structure on the SD card SD://luma/payloads/start_HourGlass9.bin ?

A few days ago we had someone start a thread saying their 3DS wouldn't boot either, and their payloads folder was names as 'playloads'.... Might pay to just double check one more time

Try changing it to up_Hourglass9.bin or start_Hourglass9.bin

So, basically, i put h9 in the luma/payload folder and renamed it accordingly. Now, according to the guide, im suppose to hold start before powering on ( which i did) and then boot it, so i did, and the screen is initially black, then the backlight turns ons, it hangs for a second, and then boots into the home menu.

interesting, what happened when you renamed it arm9loaderhax.bin?

doesn't the button you have to hold correspond with the filename? (i.e. hold up if the file is up_Hourglass9.bin and start if it's start_Hourglass9.bin)

edit: welp, looks like you've solved the problem and i need to work on my reading comprehension

You and me both

.. I had same problem, name the file it's self start_Hourglass9

Not start_Hourglass9.bin as it's already in .bin format
