Hacking [HELP] Can I recover?

[newbie114]

Hey guys, welp, my first homebrew attempt did not go well. old 3DS, firm 4.x.x, and basically followed the 3ds.hacks guide , and right at the end of installing boot9strap (soundhax), got nothing. Device rebooted into the Luma3DS configuration menu, i selected Show NAND or user string in System Settings, pressed start to save and reboot, and BLANK. Did I brick it? Any way to recover?

This happened to me as well, and when I created a copy of godmode9, it worked.

Whichever the latest is on github.

Also yes, deleting config and booting up at least got me to the menu again, but still blank after reboot. Will try the other troubleshooting solutions, And thanks to all!

Another thing,update now to 11.10 on the system settings,after this,u can download the luma 10.0.1 normally AND boot the homebrew launcher without errors to install FBI and other stuff

You should update your system version to
Unless you have some reason to
No point in staying on 4.x

If anyone is still around, any idea why Rosalina won't launch? Both Luma3D and GM9 menus boot up at the start with no problem, just as an fyi.

Are you on 4.x or 11.10?

L+select+Down d pad all together doesn't work?

 

[newbie114]

L+select+Down d pad all together doesn't work?

nope, tried it with every button press combo imaginable

 

[MrVtR]

Well,that's strange,it should work on this version
As an alternative u can use this to Inject FBI.cia on Health and Safety app and launch FBI directly on ur home menu and after that u install the definitive FBI.cia on ur menu,u can Restore H&S app with this

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

And my recomendation is to see if any of this 3 buttons doesn't work,cuz L+Select+Down button all together active the rosalina menu

L-shoulder + down (d-pad) + select
