EDIT: 06/02/17 Things I've tried:
-Removing SD card and trying to boot (no change)
-Booting into recovery mode (nope)
-Over writing am9loaderhax.bin with a fresh copy (nope)
-Error checking SD card (no errors)
-Testing SD card with H2testw (100% pass)
-Backing up SD contents, formatting SD and re-copied contents (nope)
-Booting hourglass9 and other payloads with hotkeys (nope)
EDIT: 13/02/2017 My 3DS lives to see another day! Reflashing NAND backup, deleting the config.bin and firmware.bin files from the /luma/ folder in addition to replacing the arm9loaderhax.bin with a freshly downloaded copy it
Thanks to all who contributed!
Hello everybody, yet another problem has plaugued my 3DS.
My 3DS specs:
New3DS on 11.2
A9LH + Luma3DS (3ds.guide)
Updated sysNAND mode
Gateway payload chainloading
NAND access mod
I was trying to verse my buddy in smash bros while we were waiting in a long queue of cars to get into a music festival here in Australia over the weekend (3 hour wait)
To play adhoc smash bros, it was required that my version of smash bros (played in gateway mode via the gateway cart) be updated before I could verse my buddy.
So I preceded to connect my 3DS to the internet and allowed my 3DS to download the update for smash and installed it via the eShop menu.
My 3DS still wouldn't allow me to play smash bros adhoc since my game was of different region (since I was probably using a US rom and he was using AUS)
We played some starfox64 or lylat wars (can't remember, it's been a BIG weekend) for a while instead and I powered off my 3DS.
Now, the stupid thing will not boot. I'm greeted with eternal twin black screens and an infinite blue light.
I know updating system menu is a big no-no in gateway mode, but a silly game update is able to render my 3Ds useless? I'm finding this very hard to comprehend.
I've tested out my SD card, it's in good working order with all necessary files.
I'm about 3500 kilometres away from my NANDmin.bin and compatible card reader/SD-to-micro-USB cable.
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated
Tl;dr updated smash bros in gateway mode, now 3DS won't boot.
