Hacking New 3DS won't boot after installing Luma3DS v8.0

[TheGlamourGroup]

I just updated to boot9strap from a9lh. I went to update to the latest stable Luma, and now it won't boot. GodMode9 or the Luma config menu won't boot either. Any help?

So does the light turn on and stay on? Or does it turn immediately back off?

Did you update to the latest release of B9S?

The guide should use the latest version.

Not sure if it was the latest but I just followed this: https://3ds.guide/a9lh-to-b9s

It turns on for about 2 seconds, then shuts back down.

What happens when you boot physically? What does the blue LED do?

That happens when boot.firm is not found. I suggest re-downloading it and placing it in the root of your SD card.

download previous version of boot.firm via github and replace it on the root

No, he said he did update to b9s, 8.0 is b9s 1.2 only which he should have installed.

His problem is b9s is not finding boot.firm on the SD card root.

Redownload luma8.0 boot.firm and replace the one in your sd and nand.

Ok, then I install latest boot.firm right?
Edit: Ok.

It didn't work..

Are you sure you updated to b9s successfully? Maybe you are still on a9lh - try putting arm9loaderhax.bin from Luma 7.0.5 on the root of your SD card.

Do I put the Luma v7 boot.firm first? I put the v8 one

You can try all three - Luma 7.1 will work on b9s 1.0 and 1.1 (unlikely in your case), Luma 8.0 will run on b9s 1.2 and Luma 7.0.5 (arm9loaderhax.bin) will run on a9lh.

Believe it or not, it worked with Luma 7.1! I must have somehow been on an old b9s then. Thanks guys for your help, but what can I do now if I want to use Luma 8.0?

There's a link on 3ds.guide for updating b9s (which will update your Luma to v8.0 in the process).
