Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

Can anyone help me with this?
I'm having a problem booting Luma3DS 5.4 using browserhax/menuhax, the lower screen just flashes red but nothing happens after that.
It successfully loads once on initial start up every time I delete the config file, but it doesn't show if I'm on an EmuNAND when I check the system settings after every successful boot up.

I'm trying to install the arm9loader hack on my 3DS and I've succesfully followed this guide until step 23 on this part: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-3-(RedNAND)
And now I'm currently stuck because of that problem above.
I've already tried restarting that RedNAND part of the guide 3 times, but the same problem still occurs.

I'm currently on 9.2J, if that helps sorting out the problem.

Thanks in advance.

Update:
Tried holding Select when selecting Luma3DS on Homebrew Loader, it works and takes me to config, but when I press Start to save and reboot, it still doesn't say that I'm on Emu in System Settings.

This is my first time trying to use a CFW for 3DS, and I followed the whole guide up to this point, so I'm not really sure what I did wrong.
Any help and advice is really appreciated.

Have the latest Luma3DS with A9LH. Tried a custom boot splash, but it flashed so quickly I barely had time to see it.

Is there a way to make the splash screen stay visible longer, maybe all the way up until the home menu is loaded?

It's possible to make it longer, but it'll delay the boot. It's not possible to make it loaded until the home menu is loaded.

I am having a weird issue with upgrading from 5.1.2 to 5.4 on my O3DS. When I boot with 5.4 to emuNAND or sysNAND, it just boots to a black screen. I know that the payload is working because I can access the configuration menu, but no matter what options I select, I can't boot to the home menu. I have also tried deleting the luma folder so that the config.bin is recreated with no luck. I'm not trying anything fancy here, no extra firmware.bin's, no loading with a boot manager, just stock functionality. All this being said, if I load the 5.1.2 payload back onto my SD I can load sys/emuNAND just fine. Anyone have a suggestion for me?

EDIT
@Aurora Wright I think this is a result of a Gateway downgrade in the past. I noticed your note about this in one of the release notes, can I be of help?

Thank you, I missed that somehow.

No. If you're not running A9LH, you're using the .dat file. I don't believe the tool even works with the .dat because it can already coexist with other CFWs (if you really can't stand the thought of leaving the .dat file in the root though, well, apparently d0k3 can't either, so you could always use the one from his extended starter pack). I think this confirms the reboot patch is not working correctly on the O3DS (though it's working great on the N3DS). Just downgrade to 5.2 until Aurora can check it out.

Thanks, I'll try.

Any way to get into homebrew? I'm booting directly into luma3ds using Menuhax with the boot.3dsx, everytime I try to get into homebrew it just tries to boot luma3ds again.

Use the dev build of BootCtr9 and you will be able to delay it

Luma3DS does not build with latest ctrulib (same goes for ReiNand).

Code:

arm-none-eabi-gcc -Wall -Wextra -MMD -MP -marm -mcpu=mpcore -mfloat-abi=hard -mtp=soft -fno-builtin -std=c11 -O2 -flto -ffast-math -mword-relocations -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -I/opt/devkitpro/libctru/include -DARM11 -D_3DS   -c -o build/patcher.o source/patcher.c

Is the Luma3DS 3dsx renamed to boot.3dsx? If so, of course you always end up in Luma. Each homebrew entry point attempts to launch "boot.3dsx". You need to use a boot manager or manually edit payloads to achieve what you want.

I see it was updated 1 hour ago. So is not working even after a reboot?

The last libctru pull from steveice was a major breaking commit. They admitted that.
Anything involving fs handles is likely not going to work.

I guess it's progress though.

FBI builds fine on ordinary ctrulib for the time being.

We need to wait. And yes, I'm a update junkie.

I see, that explains alot

just builded Luma3DS with latest libctru and indeed the same errors,
anyway i'll place my previous libctru back for the time being

I know that feeling, same here, updating is better then gaming

This did fix my problem, I am now up and running the latest version of Luma.

Here is a link to the section of the wiki for anyone else who has this issue.
