I cannot get Luma3DS to boot from homebrew. I have access to the homebrew through menuhax. I was following Plailect's guide to install Al9h. All was good up to part 4 step 26 when it asks to boot Luma3DS or any other cfw. When I try to launch Luma it just reboots my n3DS xl. Before I started the guide, I had ReiNand. I am wondering if somehow that is interferring with the booting process? I have no idea. I am very newb at all this so please be easy on me.

Forgot to add: I can no longer boot ReiNand either, it just reboots 3DS as well.

Things I have tried:

1). downloaded the newest Luma3DS v5.4. Put luma folder on root of SD card. Copied Luma3DS folder to /3ds/ directory. Copied both Luma3DS.dat and arm9loaderhax.bin to root of sd card.

could you tell me your 3ds firmware version?

I will review Commits after V5.2, maybe one day (too far) ....... I find the problem

If AuroraWright point me the direction, like this..."search in injector/source/patcher.c " my journey can be short

Ty @9thSage and @migles.

Have you ever downgraded via Gateway?

My O3ds never had above SysNand 9.2, is the answer you need?

Not really. The gateway downgrade was for downgrading to 4.x but it leaves crap behind which messes things up with newer cfw.

Like @nl255 is saying, you may need to follow this https://github.com/AuroraWright/Lum...-downgraded-from-the-gateway-menu-in-the-past

Updated to the latest Commit of Luma, now, when i start my console, it freezes @ the Boot Screen (not animated, just an custom boot screen)
Why's this?

Why's this?

One of the dangers of using beta software. It was likely a bad commit that's probably changed by now.

VIERcntHOLZ · May 11, 2016

The newest one?
Or is it, because i'm still @ 10.7?

Orkna · May 11, 2016

Not fixed yet. Me with no-init just get a black screen, blue led for now. ;-)

VIERcntHOLZ · May 11, 2016

k, thanks for the info :-)

leanderson2006 · May 11, 2016

K just updated to it and for some reason the new firmware is still on but it seems like i will have to do this again because homebrew is not on the menu

Navigate to hblauncher_loader.cia and press A to install

Navigate to lumaupdate_1.2.0.cia and press A to install

Exit with the home button

Launch the HomeBrew Launcher from the home menu icon at least once to download the payload

and the cias i downloaded need reinstalled correct?

edit so far it seems like everything is working and i can log into my account now, but i had to do thoes steps over again to get home brew on the menu and reinstall my cias and i also didn't need to update because it was already on 1133 for some reason.

Is this normal?

edit 2 so far everything is working now so i would say so now lol..

but i wanted to say thanks again pbanj! i wouldve been lost on what to do if you haven't told me i can re flash the old emu lol

Sorry I disappeared it was past 5am. Glad you got it sorted.
