Homebrew 3ds cfw sd card transfer

[Rdpruitt]

please help me. I currently have a 32gb micro sd card in my N2DSXL, and I want to upgrade it to 64gb. I have cfw and stuff, and I already tried to just copy and paste the 32gb into the 64gb and that didn't work.
please tell me how I can do this without looseing all the cfw.

Make sure your 64GB is formatted in FAT32 and 32 KB cluster size or your 3DS will not recognized it using guiformat (may need to reformat in NTFS or ExFat first before FAT32). Before you install any files onto the new card, you should check the card for physically flaws or possibility of it being fake using H2testw by doing a full write+verify test.

I actually did this earlier today.

-I plugged original SD into a computer and copied all files to a file on the computer.
-Plugged new SD into the computer, formatted to FAT23.
-Copied the files to the new SD
-Plugged the new SD card it into the 3DS

What @TurdPooCharger said sounds smarter, but mine worked

 

[Rdpruitt]

I don’t know why mine isn’t working. Any ideas?

Does your computer recognize the 64GB card? Did you use both the guiformat and H2testw programs on it?

 

[Rdpruitt]

Yes I did all of that

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

But when I incert my old sad card into the computer it says that the is a problem with it and that I should Xsan and repair it. I don’t want to do this Incase I lose stuff

Should I do all of that to my old sd card?(the one that came hacked?) I don’t want to because if a copy to the new as card isn’t working, then restoring the old one with a copied backup after all of those format things might not work

No, leave your old SD card alone.

If the old card still works with the 3ds and the new one does not, figure out why your new card isn't giving you a 1-to-1 exact setup when you copy everything over.

• guiformat is suppose to get the card into the proper format.
• H2testw checks for hardware flaws and counterfeit.

Another possibility why CFW isn't working on the new 64 GB card is if your setup is an EmuNAND or redNAND, which is on a hidden partition in the SD card. You'll have to dump an NAND image and install that on the new card before copy-pasta over the other stuff.

 

[Rdpruitt]

Ok. I already formatted my new as card to fat32 and checked it with h2testw. I didn’t hack my 3ds. I bought it hacked. How do I check if I have a EmuNAND. I have used godmode9 and didn’t see an EmuNAND. Does that mean I don’t have one?

You do realize that where it says what number post you are on, then the time it was made. There is something called message tools. When you drop that down there is a report and edit option. You would wanna use the edit option for times like that.

I'm going with the assumption your system is using the typical Luma3DS v9.0, GodMode9 v1.6.3 (give or take), and boot9strap v1.3 trifecta since it's a N2DSXL.

If your old SD card under GodMode9 does not have drives [S:] , [4:] , [5:] , [6:] , [B:] , and [E:], then you don't have EmuNAND.

There's another way to check for this by holding the (Select) button when turning on the N2DSXL. This should boot you into Luma3DS v9.0 configuration.

See if the (x) Autoboot EmuNAND option has been selected. If this is turned off ( ), you're using SysNAND.

If it's on, this doesn't necessarily mean you have EmuNAND. You'll have to verify this with (x) Show NAND or user string in System Settings, press START to save, boot into HOME Menu, go to System Settings, and check if it displays Emu 11.6.0-39U.

***

If your computer does not properly recognize your old 32 GB card, try to find a different computer to rule out a bad SD card reader.

If in both cases they want to reformat the card, your card's partition table is incorrectly set up. Windows File Explorer's error checker can sometimes scan and correct this without a reformat but not always. When error checker can't correct the table, the only way to fix your card is by doing a reformat, which entails wiping everything off it.

In order to save your CFW setup as best you can, you should install the 3DS homebrew app Checkpoint or JKSM save manger to produce backups of your game saves. Try to retrieve those saves and whatever files you can using a recovery software like Recuva program in Windows. Ignore the recognition failure from Windows File Explorer's as Recuva should be able to scan and copy your files off that card.

For whatever reason your old CFW setup cannot be successfully implement on your new card, you're basically left with restarting from scratch in adding those CFW files: https://3ds.hacks.guide/finalizing-setup

As long as you have those game saves, you can reinstall your game collection and restore the saves with no lost game progress.

I haven’t checked the partitions of the old sd card. I’ll do that before I do the repair thing.

And if I do have to copy and use a backup in my old sd card, and it acts the same as my new sd card, what will I need to do to get it working from scratch on my new sd card?
On 3ds.guide, it says that I will need to buy a flash cart(because I can’t use the dsiware one). Will I need to start from scratch, or can I just add the finalizing files to my sd card?(because the 3ds is still hacked)

 

[comput3rus3r]

what version of luma3ds and b9s do you have?

 

[Rdpruitt]

Luma3ds v8.1.1
I don’t know how to check b9s

 

[Rdpruitt]

Can anyone help me?

You using Emunand? You can't copy Emunand from SD to SD.

 

[Rdpruitt]

Nope. No emunand

 

[Hayato213]

Nope. No emunand

Use Minitool partition and partition the SD card as Primary partition, FAT32 and 32kb cluster.
