Hi Everyone,

I am in a mess here. I have a N3DS XL US MARIO WHITE EDITION console. I had been using Luma CFW on it for sometime now. I was on ver 7.1 and have tried to update it through luma updater many times and it always use to say its successfully done however it stayed on 7.1. It was todat when I decided to update it manually by following the guide on https://3ds.guide/a9lh-to-b9s.
When I tried to get inside the luma chainloader by turning on and pressing & holding the start button nothing happened and it booted right back into the 3ds homescreen. Tried couple of times but no luck!
Out of curiosity I installed the latest luma updater CIA through FBI and tried to update, during this process it asked something which I can recall, for which I pressed A+X and it completed. Post that I can't boot into my 3ds, blue lights turns ON and then goes off. Please guide noble people !

Luma Updater more than likely removed the A9LH payload and replaced it with the B9S one. Download Luma 7.1 from it's github and put the payload (I believe it's arm9loaderhax.bin) on the root of SD card.
Then follow the B9S upgrade again, you probably missed a step or put the safe b9s installer in a wrong foler, or with a wrong name (it has to be renamed)

Thanks for your suggestion will try again with 7.1, I did put the files as mentioned on all the folders as the guide suggested, also renamed safeb9sinstaler as start_safeb9sinstaller but no go for me, will it help if I mentioned that I used to have issues with booting into Homebrew launcher as well, it used to open and then close, also if you can let me know from where can I download the arm9loaderhax.bin again or may link a old guide to follow for 7.1. Will be extremely thankful ! :)

7.1 doesn't have A9LH support.

You must use 7.0.5, that's the last version with A9LH support.
