Sounds like you already have B9S installed. When you hold select on boot what does the Luma version say?

Luma v7.1

Luma v7.1

That's the first B9S only version. You want to follow this instead: https://3ds.hacks.guide/updating-b9s.html

Have tried. But (power)(start) always come to Godmode9 menu instead.
From there how to launch SafeB9SInstaller?

Use the .firm of SafeB9SInstaller, not the .bin.

 

[Fatmatt]

Have tried. Both, SafeB9SInstaller With .bin & .firm but (power)(start) still go to GodMode9, from there how can I run SafeB9SInstaller?

Use the .firm of SafeB9SInstaller, not the .bin.

Rename SafeB9SInstaller.firm to Boot.firm and put it on the root of the SD card.

1. Download this.

Did you follow my steps?

 

[Fatmatt]

Yes, but first step, launch Luma3DS chainloader menu by holding START during boot BUT DS will boot to GODMODE9

It sounds like your 3DS might not be reading your SD card. If you remove your SD card from your 3DS and boot the 3DS holding Start, does GodMode9 try to load again?

The sysNAND/emuNAND toggle is missing, that tells me that Luma is being loaded from NAND instead of SD which is why payloads on SD are being ignored.
So you have the boot.firm Lacius told you to download on the SD card root now, right? (which does not mean a folder called root)
And your card is FAT32 formatted?
If the answer to both of these is yes, you may need to back up the card, format it (as FAT32, 32k cluster size preferred) and copy the files back on.
