Hacking ARM 11 Crash on Boot

[AC1DFOX]

It's been a while since I used my Luma3DS system. I went to boot it today and it won't boot, giving me an ARM11 error.

I came to the Forums, and I followed the instructions listed HERE: https://gbatemp.net/threads/3ds-noob-paradise-ask-questions-here.359035/



Which took me to this page: https://3ds.hacks.guide/godmode9-usage

I followed the instructions, which were as follows:

1. Power off your device
2. Insert your SD card into your computer
3. Copy GodMode9.firm from the GodMode9 .zip to the /luma/payloads/ folder on your SD card
4. Copy the gm9 folder from the GodMode9 .zip to the root of your SD card
5. Reinsert your SD card into your device

Upon restart, I still get the ARM11 error. I attempted to follow the rest of the instructions on that page, however, when trying to load up GodMode9, I get an error saying "the payload is invalid or corrupted"

I am still very new to all this, and I would appreciate some guidance. I am attaching the DUMP file as well, in case that helps the pros in here.

Looks like console was updated and Luma has not.
The very first step to be done is to update it normally, and it's the first one described in the noob guide for the ARM11 crash. ("First of all update to 9.1" - sic. Current version is now 10.2.1)

Which steps did you follow to update Luma?

If you did not follow any, use sections 3 & 4 of the update guide https://3ds.hacks.guide/updating-b9s

Section III - Update Luma3DS

1. Power off your device
2. Insert your SD card into your computer
3. Copy boot.firm and boot.3dsx from the Luma3DS .zip to the root of your SD card, replacing the existing file
4. Reinsert your SD card into your device
5. Power on your device

Section IV - Configuring Luma3DS (only needed if you are prompted with the Luma3DS configuration menu after the reboot)

1. In the Luma3DS configuration menu, use the (A) button and the D-Pad to turn on the following:
   • “Show NAND or user string in System Settings”
2. Press (Start) to save and reboot

If you did not follow any, use sections 3 & 4 of the update guide https://3ds.hacks.guide/updating-b9s

I would also add in section 6 of the finalizing steps

Section VI - CTRNAND Luma3DS

1. Power off your device
2. Press and hold (Start), and while holding (Start), power on your device. This will launch GodMode9
   • If you do not boot into GodMode9, ensure that GodMode9.firm is in /luma/payloads/ and that payloads is correctly spelled
3. If you are prompted to create an essential files backup, press (A) to do so, then press (A) to continue once it has completed
4. If you are prompted to fix the RTC date&time, press (A) to do so, then set the date and time, then press (A) to continue
5. Press (Home) to bring up the action menu
6. Select “Scripts…”
7. Select “GM9Megascript”
8. Select “Scripts from Plailect’s Guide”
9. Select “Setup Luma3DS to CTRNAND”
10. When prompted, press (A) to proceed
11. Press (A) to unlock SysNAND (lvl1) writing, then input the key combo given
12. Press (A) to continue

to make sure thats on there so a defunct sd card dont cause problems.

Wow. MAJOR idiot moment. You sir, are a godsend. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. That fixed me right up.

As noted in my original post, this is where I have another problem. The system works fine now, games play, checkpoint works, but when I attempt to boot into GodMode

I attempted to follow the rest of the instructions on that page, however, when trying to load up GodMode9, I get an error saying "the payload is invalid or corrupted"

Strange. Should be working with the latest Luma version you just installed.
Could you please take again the same steps:
Downloading GM9 https://github.com/d0k3/GodMode9/releases/latest
Then :

• Copy GodMode9.firm from the GodMode9.zip to the /luma/payloads/ folder on your SD card. Be careful about the payloads folder being spelled correctly. People tend to forget the 's' at the end
• Copy the gm9 folder from the GodMode9.zip to the root of your SD card

Try to go through the "Section VI - CTRNAND Luma3DS" steps

Figured it out. I thought the White text was the selection, not the Red. I was opening the "Do Not Open This". I selected the other option and Boom.

You're all set then. Enjoy back your 3DS
