Boot your 3DS while holding Select. The version of Luma3DS displayed on the configuration settings will give you an indication.
- 7.1 and higher means you have B9S.
- 7.0.5 and lower means you might have A9LH.
My 3DS is hacking with RxTools, but the version the show when I launch setting is RX-E 11.0.0-33U.
Inside my SDcard there is some files named
"nds-bootstrap. Ini", "released-bootstrap.ver", "hb-bootstrap.nds"
That is means I have BootStrap?

iirc those are from twloader files to load nds roms. seems you need to update from rxtools
But I wanna install Luma
I am follow Plailect's guide.
On his guide he says:
"This page is for instructions on how to install boot9strap to a stock 3DS or 2DS. If you already have arm9loaderhax installed and are looking to update to boot9strap, follow A9LH to B9S."
This is my problem, I don't know if I update or I go on guide.
The first part of guide is install homebrew.
But mt 3DS alread have it.
After istall B9S.
That is my problem, I don't no if I install or update
I don't know if it's helpfull, but when I boot my 3DS with SDcard, launch a menu with a countdow and 2 options "RxTools" and "HomeBrew". (like on image below)
If I boot without SDcard, lauch other 3DSmenu.
What's it's means?

Apparantly all you have to do to uninstall RXTools is delete the RXTools folder (I'd back it up first of course)
If you have emunand on the card you're gonna need to make sure to remove that extra partition when you set up your sd card.
then from there you would just follow 3ds.guide because your 3ds would be stock again.
And from the very beginning of the guide even though you previously had homebrew
make sure not to update your 3ds as it's on an easily moddable firmware without a flashcard iirc

If you have RXTools, then you have Menuhax, which means you need to follow this part of the guide
https://3ds.hacks.guide/homebrew-launcher-(soundhax)
https://3ds.hacks.guide/homebrew-launcher-(soundhax)
I would advise they go through all the previous warnings and tests from the previous steps as to not have issues arise even though they will end up at that step eventually

But in relation to arm9loaderhax and boot9strap?
Do they iterate on something or can I follow it even without knowing which one I own?

Currently you don't have either b9s or ARm9loaderhax you have rxtools, but in this case deleting the folder will get your system ready. They're both different things,but A9LH is out of date compared to Boot9strap/Rosalina. You have rxtools, but you can follow the guide as if you just bought an unmoddded 3ds and just check your firmware and go from there.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
In this section "
"What do I need to know before starting?"
there is instructions for porting over your old emunand if you have one
If you have luma hold select when booting, luma config will say booted from SD (or nand) via b9s in yellow at the bottom of the screen

I feel like school, back when I was actually in school, was more entertaining though, because of how much I get to interact with people, hang out with friends, and other stuff like that. All I get to talk to at work is my boring coworkers lol
