Hacking 3DS Crash after System Update?

[Reaga]

Playing Shovel Knight. I updated everything just this Summer, both Luma and System Update.

Cut to today, playing Shovel Knight. Leave game. Get SYSTEM update prompt. Now this is my boot screen. System not working.

Godmode 9 installed, on Luma 10.2. So can hopefully do anything not requiring userland access to fix this. But need to know how

you need luma 10.2.1.

Simply download the latest version of luma place it on your 3ds sd card and problem solved.

Thanks for the quick replies. Getting my SD card out now

Edit: Ok, now the system just turns the blue light on and off, not even getting the screen to turn on.

You might need to also update your godmode9 as I did (do it)

Help me understand? If I can't even press Start to get into GM9, how will updating it help me? Will do so anyway, no point in not updating, but I have no interactivity with the system ATM beyond the powerbutton. Can't even bring up any payloads with Start or Select

sounds like there may be something wrong with the ctrnand boot.firm. you can update that with godmode.

when I updated luma I had a similar situation BUT it did let me get into luma bootscreen, try it with updating

Been awhile, do I need anything besides the GodMode9.firm?

 

[godreborn]

no, that file is in the payloads file, so it's a part of normal luma, but it should run even if luma doesn't.

 

[Reaga]

Ok, so do I just need to have GM9 copy the boot.firm from my SD to CTRNAND and overwrite to update?

Edit: Thanks, I appear to be back up and running. Can access both Homebrew CIAs and actual games as well.

Thanks guys. Since I couldn't seem to turn on the old GM9 even after the update to Luma, I likely wouldn't have thought updating it would help without you guys.

 

[godreborn]

you could use the boot.firm to load into it directly instead of luma, but there's a script in there under pilaect's iirc that will put the boot.firm from the sd card to the ctrnand. I can't remember what to do if the sd card isn't being read, which is what I think might be happening.

Thanks, once GM9 was running again a simple copy-paste of boot.firm from SD to CTRNAND fixed everything. I'm back up and running
