Hacking Can't update Luma due to update failed

[Realxabbynip09]

I keep hearing about the Rosalina HBL thing, and I decide to update it for Nintendo's update for the 3ds due to the new 2ds xl. However, once I pick or press A for download that build, I get the update failed and it's reason for it is Download fail. I think I need help for this one. If I were correct, I haven't test the hourly build update download yet, but I'll let you know about that through edit, got that? Okay, thanks!
Edit: It looks like they didn't find arm9loader.bin and didn't find the payload. Maybe the reason for it is I was trying to download Miitopia JAP version with region free. Since it didn't have room, I literary delete some stuff I don't need, but tdidn't think about the arms9 stuff. Does anyone have the folder for arms9loader because I already install the things I needed for my games.
EX: Tomodachi life save editor. (Tell Brion I said thanks!)
Anyway please any thank you.

Are you using A9LH, or are you using B9S? All new versions of Luma3DS require B9S. If you haven't already updated from A9LH to B9S, follow this guide: https://3ds.guide/a9lh-to-b9s

The guide will also walk you through installing a new version of Luma3DS Updater that is compatible with B9S boot.firm files.

Do you have b9s? If not, follow https://3ds.guide/a9lh-to-b9s. Download failed likely suggests that A) you still have A9LH and B) Rosalina is only usable on Luma 8.0+, which requires boot9strap (b9s).

Based on the edit just done by OP, she's still using A9LH and an outdated version of Luma3DS Updater. Follow the above guide to update to B9S.

No, you need to follow the guide we linked in order to update Luma. There is no other way. We did read the edit. :/

See above for my response to your edit. You are apparently using an old version of Luma3DS Updater that wants to download the arm9loaderhax.bin file for the newest version of Luma3DS. However, all new versions of Luma3DS don't support A9LH anymore, which means there are no arm9loaderhax.bin files to download. You need to follow the above guide to update to B9S. The guide will walk you through the following:

• Installing B9S
• Installing the Luma3DS 8.1 boot.firm file
• Installing a new version of Luma3DS Updater that knows to download the latest boot.firm files (instead of arm9loaderhax.bin files) for future versions of Luma3DS

I did. :/

 

[KunoichiZ]

I did. :/

If you did follow the guide already, then you should be using the new fork of Luma Updater to update Luma instead of the old one.

 

[Lacius]

I did. :/

You did what? Are you saying you followed the above guide to install B9S? Did you follow the entire guide and install the new version of Luma3DS Updater? You shouldn't be receiving any errors about arm9loaderhax.bin, because that's outdated.

For the first one in the quote, I was talking about B9S. the last two, I'm not finish yet, but I'm on the second part of installing Boot9strap.

As we've mentioned several times, following the guide should solve your problem. Finish the guide first.

Okay, I follow the guide and it works. Now, can someone tell me about the homebrew Rosalina 2.0 stuff so that way I can still use the jstr save manger.

You can always install the JKSM CIA file using FBI so you don't even need to enter the homebrew launcher to use JKSM.

If you would rather use the homebrew application, then you can do the following:

1. Make sure you have this boot.3dsx on the root of your SD card
2. Make sure you have the JKSM 3dsx homebrew application in the 3ds folder on your SD card
3. Launch the Download Play application
4. Press (L) + (Down) + (Select) at the same time to open the Rosalina menu
5. Select “Miscellaneous options”
6. Select “Switch the hb. title to the current app.”
7. Press (B) to continue
8. Press (B) to return to the Rosalina main menu
9. Press (B) to exit the Rosalina menu
10. Press (Home), then close Download Play
11. Launch the Download Play application
12. Your device should load the Homebrew Launcher, where you can launch JKSM

Thank you. If I have a hat, I would tip you.

i have the same issue here, i got an error on 2DS pokémon moon, sd removed.
so i decided to update luma from online solutions i found, updating luma using luma updater shows an error, so i went to https://3ds.guide/a9lh-to-b9s
i was not sure what do i have a9lh or B9S, then i learned that seeing *.firm means B9S.
after that i downloaded an updated luma updater.
now using it shows "update your B9S" :/
i went back to :
https://3ds.hacks.guide/updating-b9s
as the guide mentions, at the first step i can't see SafeB9SInstaller launching, but i find GODMOD9 instead :/
tried renaming the SafeB9SInstaller.firm to start_SafeB9SInstaller.firm
but nothing happens when booting pressing start, only godmod using start, luma menu using select.
help please.
