kawabanga1288 · Mar 4, 2018

halo, i have an o3dsxl, ofw11.6x, try to follow 3ds.hacks.guide flashing-ntrboot-(3ds-single-system), everything works fine. can play the game well. but..after i charging the 3ds console, it become like softbrick. the blue light turn on, and off again. try to google, youtube, try to solve it...but unfortunately failed.

* try to backup the sd card, then change another sd card, failed.
* so far i have follow the trouble shooting guide from 3ds.hack..but my 3ds can't boot into the chanloader by holding the start+power button.
* try to enter the recover mode by holding L+R+up+A, failed
* try to use the .bak boot.firm file, as boot.firm, but failed
* try to use another luma boot.firm failed.
i notice that when im using the latest luma (9.0) boot.firm, when i try to turn on the 3ds, the blue light will on for around 3 to 5 second then turn off. if im using the lower luma boot.firm, the blue light on and off within 1 second.

i have no idea what should i do now...PLS HELP ME.

This is most likely due to SD card read error. Is the SD card slot dirty? Are the actual SD card terminals dirty? Is the SD corrupted? You can always try to copy everything to your PC, format the SD and copy everything back.

What happens when you try to boot the 3DS without an SD card? If you followed the guide completely, then it should boot just fine. If the blue light comes on and quickly goes off in a second, then you forgot to put boot.firm onto the root of the CTRNAND. Once you fix everything, you should complete the guide so this problem doesn't happen in the future.

Regardless, it sounds like an SD card issue. If I were you, I'd backup the SD card contents, reformat it, redownload the Luma3DS 9.0. boot.firm, and put it onto the root of your SD card.

SD card can read well in pc. so i assume the sd card is ok. already change the micro sd card adaptor, format the sd card, and copy everything to the sd card. prob still same.

i already redownload the boot.firm to the root of sd card. failed.
when i remove the sd card, try to turn on the 3ds, the blue light comes on, after a few second will turn off.

Have you tried reformatting the SD card? Alternatively, have you tried using a second SD card?

If your SD card is small enough, you should attempt reformatting the SD card using this, using an Overwrite format:

could it be a bad theme installed?

If OP cannot enter the Luma3DS configuration settings, then the problem lies with the ability of the 3DS to read the Luma3DS boot.firm file.

If your flashcart is still flashed with ntrboot, try downloading GM9 and using it as boot.firm then put a magnet in the sleep spot of your 3ds and hold Start+Select+Power+X and see what happens.

Not really sure. So if the bad theme installed, how to recover it back?

If you cannot boot into the Luma3DS configuration settings, then your problem is not a bad theme.
