Hacking Stuck at Section IV of installing arm9loaderhax on 3ds guide

[hopefullynotabrick]

As the title says. Turning the device on while pressing start simply gives me a black screen. When I try to insert the SD card into my computer, it would say 'please insert a device into drive x" but that issue seems to have gone away and now I can use the SD card. I tried repeating the earlier steps and got the same result. I had no issues here when doing this on another device. Turning the device on while pressing select does still give me access to that menu with all the options.

My device is an OLD 3DS XL and the sd card is a
SanDisk SDSDUNC-064G-GN6IN 64GB SDXC

Is the card formmated correctly? (Fat32 32k cluster size?)

 

[hopefullynotabrick]

Yeah, absolutely. I wouldn't have been able to make this far if it weren't, I reckon.

May I see the contents of your SD card?

Just to clarify, you don't simply press start.

Have the 3ds powered off, press AND HOLD start. Power it on while keeping start held down.

Sure, here's an album with the relevant folders. http://imgur.com/a/DfnVE

Thanks for the tip. I double checked to make sure I was actually doing this, but it didn't make a difference.


I'm wondering if I should just restart the whole process. Any way to do that?

No need to start from scratch. Probably just a minor mistake. Dont freak out and do something stupid. Just let ppl help u and listen to what they say. You'll be fine.

Rename Godmode9 to start_godmode9.bin

Renaming it did not fix the issue.

Do you have another SD card you can use for the installation?

Don't make him get a new SD card when his current one may be working fine.

I agree with this guy. If you could provide the contents of your SD card, we'd be able to tell you exactly what you've done wrong (as far as names and files go.)

I should've caught it earlier, but i was too tired to look. Rename your payload folder to payloads.

Well spotted

THANK YOU!!!! It works!!! This is what I get for trying this process while listening to a podcast!!

No problem. Glad you got it sorted. This type of mistake is more common than you know. At least you didn't brick.
