1) Are you using emunand or sysnand? If sysnand just copy all files from old sd card to new one. If emunand you need to transfer it but I don't know how so I can't help you.
2)The guide had you setup Hourglass9 in a payload. Holding start while turning on the 3ds will boot it and you can flash a nand backup to unbrick.

1)I've deleted my emunand after copying it to sysnand, so as of now I'm only using cfw sysnand.
2)Yes, I know, but my question is which nand backup file should I use, the original sysnand or emunand since I've copied my emunand to sysnand, or it doesn't make difference?

I have a problem with my new 3DS XL. I have luma + arm9 installed, but i can't upgrade the luma anymore, it shows that the configuration file was not found, and the place that previously showed the current installed version is empty now... It just shows the latest version available, but when I click on "install normal version", it just processes normally, but when I launch the luma app again, nothing happens, just keeps the same information as before! I uploaded some pics here to show you all... I have already placed the a

rm9loaderhax.bin from the GitHub.com website (related to the 6.6 version) into the root of sd card, but it didn't work :/ Please, I need to solve this issue! Thanks!!

Hey fellas I'm on 2DS running Luma on 11.0. and SysNAND 9.2.
Is it safe to update cfw to 11.2? or has the native firm changed?

How do I update my Lumacfw to be safe?
many thanks in advance :)

I gues you have sysnand 9.2 and emunand with luma on 11.0?
Here you have the steps to update Luma depending on the version you already have.
To update your emunand, just boot your emunand, go to system settings and update from there (make sure you're on emunand)
If you're not too confident, you can always make a backup of your emunand with decrypt9 and inject it if something goes wrong

Emunand still jacked up.
Why when I updated Luma to 6.6 or whatever, does the config menu still say 5.4? I've tried manually replacing all files. That might be what ruined my Emunand.

I have a suggestion. Perhaps you might want to consider making 3DS flashcards compatible with Luma3DS as well as multi-ROM support on 3DS flashcards (by pressing Select button). Also, it would be handy to add in a RAM editor option (by assigning a button combination through the options menu) that can be used while playing games too (which can be handy for researching and datamining).

that doesnt seem like what you are looking for. the external .code loading feature is for loading external code bins, for modding games and stuff. if you need that, you'd already have one in mind to use.

Hey umm i was curious about something. Is it possible to just somehow use the ctrnand as a storage device when not using sd? I noticed that some games use extdata that requires sd card to store, which most of the time is fairly small. So i was wondering when booting a9lh without sd it can least store that on ctrnand or even a few VC titles which is also very small, to use like normal.

Still with the idea of having NTR bootable without sd maybe possible it be nice to just have so is not total bummer when not having access to sd cards. It be like those poor SDless cellphones. :)

do you have .txt at the end of the file name? wiki says it needs .txt extension.
