Hacking A9LH to B9S?

[Sirbull]

Hi. I'm trying to install CFW to my New 3DS XL. I thought I had done everything correcly, following a guide, but I got the error "A9LH detected! Brick avoided!!" followed by a link to 3ds.hacks.guide/a9lh-to-b9s when finishing the flip book-hack.

I should have every file available on the sd card and have formatted multiple times. Is there anything I should do?

Which guide did you follow?

Probably follow the link, huh?
You need to update to b9s.

You already have cfw installed using arm9loaderhax. That's why you just need to update to boot9strap.

I have tried to format everything once more, and followed the 3ds.hacks.guide frogminer guide.

Same problem. Following the instructions on JP Flipnote and getting:
Initializing FAT... good
Initializing NAND... good
Checking for A9LH...
A9LH detected! Brick avoided!
"link to webpage a9lh-to-b9s"
Press home to exit

I don't understand anything. Everything should be at the right place!

Well, it's giving you a link to a certain page, so wild thought, follow the link and do the steps listed on that page:/ What is there you don't understand?

You probably have CFW already.
So, maybe, once again, follow the link???
You, once again, need to update from a9lh to b9s.

False alarms for a9lh are common because old tools don't correctly clean up after uninstalling a9lh. If you are COMPLETELY sure you don't really have a9lh installed, you can override the a9lh warning:
https://github.com/zoogie/b9sTool/blob/master/TROUBLESHOOTING.md (first one)

Keep in mind that if you DO have a9lh and you proceed, you will brick the system and you'll have to buy a flashcard to repair it.
So override at your own risk.

btw - a little trick to test for a9lh: Boot frogtool and select the middle BOOT ..... command.
If the system just hangs at a black screen for more than 30 secs, this 100% means you still have a9lh. If it boots a game or app, then you are probably ok. As before, be cautious and override at your own risk.

Thank you good sir! That was precisely the issue. The 3ds was jailbroken before. I ran a script to uninstall CFW, but I guess there was some bad clean up. Now everything works as expected. Really appreciated.
