Hacking Have all the data from previous 3ds cfw sd card, want to transfer to a new SDcard.

[bruhcar]

My old sd card was formatted. I had copied the contents of the old sd card before hand to my computer tho. I tried copying the old sd card files to the new sdcard after quadruple reformatting and loading that into the 3ds, however that didn't work. The home menu displays no icons and says an sdcard cannot be detected. The system can boot into gm9 though. If another thread exists please help me find it. I'm really stuck here

Formatted it fat32?

Check if your SD card is fake, faulty, or dying.

1. Copy everything off the SD card to a computer.
2. Quadruple reformat.
3. Full Write + Verify the empty card in H2testw. Do not skip.

i did get an error the first time, but it did not directly indicate hardware error. If I run into the error again, will i have to assume the SD card is dying?

Do you recall what that exact error was? Was the readout "The media is likely to be defective." like this image (right side)?

Hi I ran the test again and it shows everything to be all right. I remember it did not say this media is likely to be defective. In this case what are the proper steps to transition from my old to my new sd card? Thanks a lot man I appreciate it.

I have inserted the new formatted sd card into my system multiple times and it says it cannot detect an sd card. H2w tool says the sd card is ok and I am formatting with minitool fat32. Having a hard time figuring out what is going on.

Hi sorry to bother you so much. But I went and used gm9 off another sd card to format the sd card directly on the 3ds and the 3ds was able to register the new FORMATTED sd card. This led me to copy all the data from the old to the new sd card. However now the 3ds doesn't even recognize there is an sd card in the slot? doesn't even give me "an sd card was not detected" warning.

Copying and pasting the Nintendo 3DS folder from one SD card to another can often lead to the 3DS firmware creating a second <ID1>. If that happens, move the dbs, extdata, and title subfolders from the original <ID1> to the blank <ID1> -or- delete the dummy <ID1>.

Be careful transferring the correct <ID1> → <ID1> or deleting <ID1>. Also, whatever you do, don't rename the <ID0> or move the <ID1> to a different parent <ID0>.

• sdmc:/Nintendo 3DS/<ID0>/<ID1>/
  • dbs/
  • extdata/
  • title/
    • 00040000 (games)
    • 0004000e (updates)
      
    • 0004008c (DLCs)

• Possible causes for missing HOME Menu titles.
• Methods of repairing the Nintendo 3DS folder or HOME Menu titles.
  • See the 'Examples of two (2) <ID1> child folders found within the same <ID0> parent folder.'
