Hardware :( N3ds XL Hyrule Gold system won't turn on...

[F34R]

So, I see the ban issues so I pull mine out of the drawer. Well, it won't even turn on. I plugged in the charger to see if I just forgot to turn it off, etc.

After 30 mins, even with the charger still plugged in, it still won't turn on.

I get a blue light, then it just fades out. Doesn't blink, stay active, etc. Any ideas?

I don't remember which method I used to hack it.

Is there an SD card inside?

 

[F34R]

Nope...

 

[Dionicio3]

Nope...

That's why it's not booting. Assuming you are using a9hl, you end to put an SD card with arm9loaderhax.bin on it

 

[F34R]

ugh lol. I'm slow. Thanks. I now have to find that mSD I used to being with. smh. Thanks, I'll get to lookin'.

 

[Dionicio3]

follow this

Lol wait until he finds his SD Card

That's why it's not booting. Assuming you are using a9hl, you end to put a sad card with arm9loaderhax.bin on it

I need to buy a new sad card

 

[Dionicio3]

I need to buy a new sad card

Shet lol

 

[F34R]

Can I use any card, or do I need that one I used before?

You can use any SD card

 

[F34R]

Thanks. I have a card for sure. I found all the files I backed-up from the initial hack process. folder called files9? lol This is why I shouldn't be allowed to do stuff after my accident lol.

 

[F34R]

follow the instructions in the guide i linked above and you'll have it working in no time

Reading over it. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do it. This might be a little too much for me. I'll read it again, and again...

 

[F34R]

I'm going to go with the guide you linked to. 3dsafe part at the top, do I need that since I have a new 3ds? or do I just start with the new 3ds part, and go down from there.

 

[Natsuru]

All you need is is the arm9loaderhax.bin file in the root of the SD card that's all.

This should be it. If you just want to get the system to boot that is.
Otherwise if you have discord we can jump in and chat this out.

 

[F34R]

So, I don't have the arm9loaderhax.bin and the boot.3dsx files.

 

[F34R]

Either lol. So, i'm going with the guide, but the picture it shows has files that I don't have, nor does it link to/tell me where to get those. The two I listed...

 

[Natsuru]

@F34R If you have a mic/speakers/headset and discord you can hop onto the GBATemp Discord server and we can talk.

 

[F34R]

ignore the picture, just follow the instructions
edit: on a second thought, i think you're gonna need arm9loaderhax.bin on the root of the card like it's in the picture
download it here

Added it as suggested earlier, and it's booted to the Luma3ds v7.0.5 config menu.

I wish I did. I'm not allowed to have it lol, I'm 41 years old. Long explanation...

So, I'm at the config menu.. is there something I should do next? I'm kinda lost even with the guide.. since I'm not where I would be with the guide itself.

Progress....
Just set the options listed in the guide and you should be set. Next to upgrade to boot9strap if you want. (Recommended)
I won't ask about discord......

 

[F34R]

I'm at the end...

Section 5, it says to launch FBI. I don't know what that is...
