How can I load and display images without using sfil/sf2d?

OK, first of all, you're on A9LH, which means you should upgrade to B9S.

You should upgrade to B9S, and clean up your SD card as it seems to have many CIAs which may be already installed, and lots of old files.

So once I've upgraded how would I get rid of the corrupted alpha sapphire? I can't see it in the data manager and I already tried deleting it by FBI. Someone else recommended I just restore an old NAND. Will Doing this will get rid of the broken AS?

You can try redownloading it

 

[CH1CK3NMAN]

You mean reinstalling it from CIA?

 

[MrJason005]

You mean reinstalling it from CIA?

Yes, if the unique ID matches, it should overwrite it.

I have a huge problem. On the Luma chainloader, instead of choosing GodMode9, I accidentally clicked the 3DS 9.2 boot.firm. I am on firmware 11.5 and this made my console not boot. The blue light turns on, but the screen and the backlight don't turn on. Can someone help me? I am running Luma 3DS 8 with B9S on an O3DS with FW 11.5.

What do you mean by the 9.2 boot.firm? Make sure you have boot.firm from Luma 8.1 on the root of your card. If it still doesn't boot, try a spare card if you have one, then if it still doesn't work make a NAND backup (so you can return to this state of needed) and then restore a previous backup if you have one or do a 9.2 CTR transfer (https://3ds.guide/9.2.0-ctrtransfer)

Homebrew is up to date as far as I can tell, but my N3DS XL was impacted by the banwave. I have a less used slave Old 3DS XL that that I use for streetpasses and to practice hacks (I bricked my Wii back in the day being careless...) and I'm hoping was not banned. Is it possible to transfer the system's signature or whatever distinguishing characteristic to my n3ds to possibly regain online capibility? I also recall reading there were such public keys available for use. What do I use and where do I find said keys (or whatever they're called).

Yep - you can use the friend seed from the old 3DS on the new 3DS. Have a look at the unbanning thread ("all three methods to unban your 3DS")

I would like to know what will I lose if I were to restore my original NAND Backup?

My 3DS currently have boot9strap and Luma3DS installed.

The guide states that restoring NAND Backup will not overwrite boot9strap installation.
Does this mean it will overwrite everything else and I would have to reinstall Luma3DS again?

Is it possible to install cfw on 11.5? I have a cfw on my other 3ds, the guide says that the other 3ds needs to have specific games installed any help? thanks

B9S is the entrypoint, Luma is the CFW. The CFW is loaded from the entrypoint. If you don't lose B9S you can't lose Luma. It will reset your console data back to how it was when you made the NAND backup, like your firmware version and activity log.

If you don't already have one of the four games you need to follow this: https://3ds.guide/installing-boot9strap-(dsiware-game-injection)

I have many 3DS boot.firm files for various different FW versions just in case so that I don't have to mess with the SD card or SysNAND to boot different FW versions without CFW. Yesterday, I accidentally pressed "A" on the FW 9.2.0 boot.firm instead of GodMode9. I have tried replacing my SD card's boot.firm with the latest Luma 3DS 8.1 boot.firm, deleting the 9.2 boot.firm, and a few other things to try to get my 3DS to boot. When I hold START, SELECT or L, nothing happens except the blue light turning on. I know it is booting some type of file because if it wasn't, the blue light would immediately turn off when I pressed the power button. I have consulted many sources, (YouTube, GBAtemp, Google, 3ds.guide) and I have come up with the conclusion that my 3DS is hard-bricked. I cannot restore my NAND backup from 4 days ago because my 3DS will not do anything when I turn it on. I can't backup my NAND either. I can't do anything as far as I know. I even tried L+R+Up+A. Nothing happened. I really would like some help because I bought this O3DS used for $100 only about a month and a half ago. If you (Quantumcat) or any other people have any suggestions, please tell me! My email is [email protected].
EDIT: I can't CTRTransfer either because, once again, my 3DS won't do jack. I am looking into hardmodders now, but I really don't want to do that if I don't have to.

Do you have another sd card to try? Try using just the boot.firm on that card to see if your 3ds will boot for you.

Okay. I will I will edit this post (not make a new one) once I have tested that. See you in 5 minutes!
EDIT: I just tried it. It didn't work. I also made sure that both of the SD cards I tried were not write-protected.

I don't know what you mean, there's no such thing as a 9.2 boot.firm - boot.firm is what is loaded as a CFW by B9S. Can you show us a picture of your SD card contents, root and the luma/payloads folder? And can you try Luma 7.1 boot.firm or Luma 7.0.5 arm9loaderhax.bin on the root of your SD card as well, just in case?
Edit: oops I didn't see the replies above. Can you also please test your SD card to make sure it isn't faulty? Https://3ds.guide/h2testw-(windows)

What I'm calling the "9.2 boot.firm" is the boot.firm file from a 3DS that isn't hacked running FW 9.2.0.

 

[Quantumcat]

Back up your files and delete everything except for the following.

On the root, have boot.firm, and the luma folder

In the luma folder, have the payloads folder.

In the payloads folder, have GodMode9.firm

Then try again.

Okay. I'll tell you what happened in ten minutes. Keep in mind that I think that my 3DS is hard-bricked.
EDIT: I have four NAND backups. Two from USA NAND, one from EUR NAND, and one from JPN NAND, all from my console. I have region changed in the past. All of the NAND backups were backed up on FW 11.5.
