Hardware new 3ds, in sys but don't have my sd card anymore.

BigMane · May 18, 2019

So, I gave my 3DS to my cousins for awhile (bad idea btw) and they've lost the sd card that was inside, thus when I go to system settings it says Sys 11.7.

I have another micro sd with me right now.

How do I go through this? Do I have to factory reset and use some kind of exploit or is there another way?

So I just go through these steps and everything should work fine?
Again, all the apps on the 3DS are default since the card was removed, but in settings it says Sys

If it's saying "Sys" and not "Ver" in system settings then you should still have custom firmware.

You likely have a boot.firm on the root of your ctrnand that it's booting when the SD card isn't present.

All you need to do is extract luma files as you would normally to your new SD and it should default to booting from the SD over the CTRNand boot.firm.

Update to 11.9 and be sure to have Luma3ds v9.1

Was that with the latest or an older luma3DS boot.firm on the root of your SD?
(Latest should be v9.1)

Edit: Ignore this, OP got it booting.

nvm

Do I need additional files from the SD? i only wentwith the finalizing setup one.

You need the latest boot.3dsx on the root of your SD to get into the homebrew menu, I'm not seeing that linked on the finalizing setup page.

Alright, thanks. So if I just follow the finalizing setup guide I'll be fine as before?

If you're booting from the SD and HBMenu is working again then yes you should be fine to follow the finalizing-setup page.

Oh yeah, if I install CIAS, is a ban likely nowadays? or are there safety measures

I'm a bit hazy on that topic, if memory serves we're fine to install games but homebrew CIAs may or may not get flagged. (I've used homebrew CIAs before but have yet to be banned, so I'm really not too sure on this.)

I'm pretty sure folks recommend disabled sending of info to Nintendo in Settings and sharing what game you're playing in the friends list for added protection.

If anyone better understands Nintendo's banning behavior please do chime in.

Oh when I go to the Luma Updater it said something about does not work for arm9loaderhax users.

Does that I mean theres still A9LH?

It displays the "This is only for sighax/boot9strap users" warning for everyone.
If you're booting from boot.firm then you're fine, if you were booting from arm9loaderhax.bin then you'd have a9lh.
