THAT GUIDE IS NOT USEFUL at all ! im a old luma and a old bootstrap users Because of these stupid guides!!!!
followed to a dang T and then put the sd card back in and held start and just like before NOTHING happenes i really wish they would just make a dang updater like luma did cuase this is getting flipping annoying and will hold many back stupid ..


  1. Reboot holding (Start) during boot to launch the Luma3DS chainloader menu
THIS DOESNT WORK heck pushing select does but surely cant get to where it wants u to go in step 2
  1. Launch SafeB9SInstaller by pressing (A)
these guides are annoyingly frustrating ! think im better just staying back before one of these gudes screws up my system

The updating b9s guide will not mess up your system. Calm down. :/ You just need to download Luma v7.1 and copy the boot.firm to the root of your SD card then try to access the chainloader again.

Trust me. I tried getting it added but the owner of the guide denied it, despite the fact that it works. :/ I understand your pain. I know you are already on 7.1 but getting that fresh boot.firm has been proven to work.

Thank you and im sure if my friend went on here you would get another thanks that step should be :


  1. Copy boot9strap.firm and boot9strap.firm.sha from the boot9strap .zip to the /boot9strap/ folder on your SD card
  2. Re download Luma v7.1 and copy the boot.firm to the root of your SD card
  3. Reinsert your SD card into your device
the guide maker seems like a stubborn brat

    Imo Bluetooth is always a option of last resort for me

    Except for phones because it tends to be pretty reliable there

    I got a bad habit of taking out usb transmitter and loosing it because they can't you know print names on the damn things
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But any desktop OS, I've never had anything but frustration trying to get Bluetooth devices to work reliably and stable. It might pair and connect once, and then next time I go to use it I have to delete and re-pair it again
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    5.3 has been so good I think 6 is really going to make it stable

    Even my Xbox One controller I have it paired to my desktop over Bluetooth, it USUALLY works but sometimes it refuses to connect and I have to delete and re-pair it. Maddening

    Ran a driver update in device manager?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Not recently but I think it's less a driver issue and more just Windows having a garbage Bluetooth stack
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Could be I was having issues when I first upgraded it and didn't realiser gigabyte has specific driver revisions which is stupid
