okay i have a O3DS that i just installed luma on, downgraded from 9.2 to 2.2 did the whole shebang then updated to 11.2 through system settings software update, i confirmed i still had access to luma by holding select while booting but i didnt have access to arm9loaderhax / hourglass, Holding Start button just booted up the system normally, so i shut down my 3ds and removed the sd card. Then on my laptop i redownloaded all the files to the sd card and reinstalled the sd card to my 3ds. As i hit the power button waiting for it to boot i looked away and when i looked back it was still off, so i figured the battery is probably dead or something, so i plug in the charger the orange led comes on and i hit the power button again. The blue power led comes on for like one whole second and shuts back off, the displays dont turn on or anything.

anybody has any idea whats up ?

Check if you have arm9loaderhax.bin(Luma3ds) in the root of your SD card.

Hi,

Is the SD Card's in there ? You can't boot A9LH without sd card.
Have you got the "arm9loaderhax.bin" placed on the SD Card's root ?

Yeah. A9LH needs arm9loaderhax.bin on the root of your sd card

make sure you have start_Hourglass.bin on your luma/payloads folder in order to boot Hourglass using start button upon boot.

Thats wrong you can surely boot A9LH without SD Card

In order to do that you have to have the latest A9LH installed and inject luma into ctrnand root.

If those conditions aren't met, then A9LH shuts down to protect the system.
