stupid question......should i have done this step first ?
Section IV - Restoring the System
If, before following this guide, you already had an EmuNAND setup and would like to move the contents of your previous EmuNAND to your new SysNAND CFW, now is the time to
follow Move EmuNAND instead of doing the first four steps in this section.
- Boot your device while holding (Start) to enter Hourglass9
- Go to “SysNAND Backup/Restore”
- Go to “SysNAND Restore (keep a9lh)”
- Input the key combo given, then select the NANDmin.bin image when prompted by pressing (A)
- Press (Start) to reboot
- If your backup was of a version between 3.0.0 and 4.5.0, your console will not boot until you manually download the required firmware:
- Download this file and rename it to firmware.bin
- Download this file
- Copy firmware.bin and cetk to the /luma/ folder on your SD card
- Delete both of these files after updating your 3DS
- Update your 3DS by going to System Settings, then “Other Settings”, then going all the way to the right and using “System Update”
- Updates while using A9LH + Luma (what you have) are safe, stop asking about it
- The warning about never updating a New 3DS from 2.1.0 does not apply after restoring your NAND backup.
- If this gives you an error, set your DNS settings to “auto”
- If this still gives you an error and your NAND is below 9.2.0, follow 9.2.0 ctrtransfer
