Have you ever followed this guide: https://3ds.hacks.guide/de_DE/a9lh-to-b9s?
According to the files on your SD, you still have A9LH, and you've never updated to boot9strap.
If you haven't done this, follow the guide.

@E1ite007 I followed the instructions and did everything ...
Are you sure you did that? What is the current status? A9LH or updated to B9S?
Since the A9LH → B9S page ends with a link to the finalizing page, your console should now have everything set up.


Insert SD, hold (Select) on power on. Right on the top of the upper screen it should say:
Luma3DS v??? configuration
  • If the version number is v7.0.5 or lower you are still on A9LH and did not complete the upgrade
  • v7.1 means an old version of B9S → should not be the case here
  • anything from v8.0 and above means you are good to go with the latest Luma3DS release (v10.1.3) and can complete the finalizing page.

If I were troubleshooting, I'd do the following:
  1. Remove everything from the SD card except the Nintendo 3DS folder.
  2. Redownload the latest Luma3DS and put boot.firm and boot.3dsx onto the SD card
  3. Boot the 3DS while holding Select.
What happens? If the config settings page comes up, which version is Luma3DS on? If it's on 10.1.3, then follow this guide:
https://3ds.hacks.guide/de_DE/finalizing-setup.html

Admittedly, I don't even know what the problem is at this point.

This video is from 2017. Is outdated asf and it's not valid anymore.
Also... yeah, you didn't even followed the video correctly 'cause you didn't installed FBI as the video suggest... smh.

Now, out of being cringy as hell saying things as "smh" and shit, let's see...
This video is from A9LH times and everything points that you are still using A9LH and you've never updated to B9S. The weird thing is that when you installed the latest Luma3DS, you could boot, and from Luma3DS 8.0 you cannot boot from A9LH.

Yeah, that's the Luma3DS configuration part...
Is it even possible for the console to hung up in that part? I've never seen that before.
Anyway, let's see... if it froze up, then you haven't been able to launch Luma3DS properly, 'cause it needs to be configurated first, before launching the Home Menu.

EDIT: All links to the files of the tutorial are dead. When did you did this?
