Thank you very much. Can i update luma directly from my 3DS or do i have to download some files to my SD card?
Section III - Update Luma3DS
  1. Power off your device
  2. Insert your SD card into your computer
  3. Copy boot.firm from the Luma3DS .zip to the root of your SD card, replacing the existing file
  4. Reinsert your SD card into your device
  5. Power on your device

Hi, i already replaced the boot.firm, so i think is a problem with the installer because it already recognize the version of luma
seems like you need to re-install the latest versions of luma, luma updater, fbi, etc. pretty much double check for updates on everything that you installed while hacking your 3ds.

upon reading around, seems like github was a douche and removed some shit. if this doesn't work, you might need to wait for someone else to help you out.

seems like github removed support for something called TLS 1.0/1.1. i guess many auto updaters/updaters in general are broken. but that's only what i read.
You are....incredibly late to the party with finding out that information. There was a new luma updater made for the new TLS.
