You will need to give more info than just that...Because I'm in the same situation, where CTGP-7 won't work!

@JamyDu13, ARM9 error could be a softbricked 3DS firmware. You can indirectly check for this by installing clean copies of Mario Kart 7 and CTGP-7 on a different SD card. Don't reuse the main card.
(A) If the game launches and plays fine on this test setup, your main setup from the original SD card will need to be rebuilt. Go back and review whether that first card was thoroughly or properly hardware tested with it reformatted and emptied out when you ran H2testw. Since you mentioned having problems copying files from your post #13, I suggest that you go ahead rebuilding the Nintendo 3DS folder as described in that Corrupted Data thread.
- Take a spare, small sized [preferably 4 GB] SD card and copy everything off that second card.
- Reformat the card in [ FAT 32 format | 32 KB cluster size | MBR disk | Primary partition ] settings.
- Full Write + Verify the empty card in H2testw.
- If the card passes, delete the *.h2w test files.
- Create a test setup containing Luma3DS, Homebrew Launcher, FBI, and GodMode9. Do not add files from your main setup.
- sdmc:/3ds/FBI.3dsx
- sdmc:/luma/payloads/GodMode9.firm
- sdmc:/boot.firm
- sdmc/boot.3dsx
- Add a clean .3DS rom dump of Mario Kart 7 (EUR) and convert this to a CIA with GodMode9. Install the converted CIA with FBI.
- [advanscene] 3DS Release 0016 - Mario Kart 7
- [advanscene] 3DS Release 1321 - Mario Kart 7 (v01)
- [advanscene] 3DS Release 0762 - Mario Kart 7 (v02)
- GodMode9 Usage - Converting a .3DS to .CIA
- Alternatively, you can redownload the digital retail version if you legitimately bought this game from Nintendo eShop.
- Install the latest MK7 (EUR) update from HOME Menu or as an external CIA. It should have the TitleID of 0004000E00030700.
- https://hax0kartik.github.io/3dsdb/
- Don't quote me of this, but I think the latest version is v1.1.
- Install the latest CTCP-7 and Luma3DS-pldgr fork.
- Mario Kart 7 - Custom Track Grand Prix 7 (CTGP-7)
- The mod package should be found at
Banana RepublicGame Banana.
(B) If the game crashes on this test setup, your 3DS firmware will need to be repaired with CTRTransfer (Type D9) - CTRTransfer. Carefully read and follow the Instructions.
This spare sd card requires that you run the guides finalizing steps to get fbi and the other apps back on your home menu.Here is my spare sd card content:
<Root>
boot.3dsx
boot.firm
Nintendo 3DS
<folders created automatically by the 3DS>
cia
0004000000030700_v02.trim.cia (the cia file I ripped from a cardridge)
Mario Kart 7 - 1.1 Update (EUR).cia (downloaded online)
3ds
FBI.3dsx
luma
payloads
GodMode9.firm
config.bin
Thanks for your help! To which boot.firm and boot.3dsx correspond those mentionned in the 5. point? Is boot.3dsx Homebrew menu and boot.firm Luma?
Also, can I directly use a CIA version of MK7 instead of converting a 3DS file?
Finally, the "Corrupted Data" thread you mention is this one https://gbatemp.net/threads/corrupted-data.565254/ am I right?
I inserted my spare SD card, and when I turn on the 3DS, the home screen is indentical to a non hacked console, no FBI icon or anything. Is there a way to open Homebrew Launcher here? Or did I forget to put some files in the SD card?
In the description of option (B), I read I'm tasked in removing some files from my Nintendo 3DS folder. When I'm supposed to do this?
Yah, about that "Backup run cancelled". You're like the 2nd closest person who almost figured out why this script stops and kicks you back to the description screen. I'd hope that while I was away, you took the time reading the other examples in what they did to get past that security measure.In 1b, when I select "yes" to "continue with backing up CIA and saves?", after unblock permissions, it shows "Backup run canceled" and on the top screen "Determine if "0:/Nintendo 3DS/<ID0> exists", and it doesnt... Do I have to create it myself?

If you're stuck and still not sure what to do, there's a clue in the CTRTransfer (Type D9) info page → Table of Contents → Relisting or rebuilding the 3DS database files.
Please tell me you made a backup copy of the Nintendo 3DS folder on your computer.Ahhh OK I understood what to do ! I did so, and then despite of the fact I deleted some games to let 5Go of free space, the test said that memory was insufficient. I pushed A, thinking the process will stop this way, but now it seems to run and shows sometimes something like "instert content failed"... It seems like I can't cancel it... Will it run and fail for every single title I have?
If you saw "Storage test success." and the screen is scrolling, that means the script found enough free space to do its run.Fore sure I made one (I copied what I could).
But now it's running with not enough space, apparently... Can I just power off, free some space up and retry?
@JamyDu13, this might be too late to mention this, but if nearly all your titles were turning out to be junk, it might have better approaching this with Option (C) Manual. That would have extracted and decrypted only the saves (00000001.sav) and created a text listing of all your installed games, updates, and dlcs. This would have saved some headache constantly stopping from failed CIA builds.
Okay, this is too suspicious. Your SD card keeps corrupting data.Thank you so much! It reworks!!
When I insert the SD card in my PC, Windows says "Damaged peripheric. Repare it?" What should I do? Ignore it and don't repare?
If the files are corrupted again, replace the SD card. Faulty controller is not as easy to identify.I used to use this kind of adapter, but I stoped to use it and use another computer with a direct SD reader. In this one, I tested my empty card and it passed ! :'c
