Can you show us a screenshot of your payloads folder(in luma folder), please?

I now deleted EVERYTHING from my sd and put all files from the section "Installing arm9l..." into it.
However, if I go into the browser and launch 2xsa nothing happens. I can still click "select" once. After a second press, the system shuts down. But when I look into my sd, i can see the otp.bin in the a9hl folder.

Everything looks good to me. Maybe try other payloads too, like GodMode9(renamed up_GodMode9.bin), Decrypt9WIP(renamed x_Decrypt9.bin), and see if those load. Also a video of it booting might be helpful because I've never heard of/seen it boot up flashing colors.

Tried GodMode9 but no success..

Oh my. Totally forgot about that. You´re my hero Patrick! *-*

Alright, back to topic:

Now i may be wrong, but you named Hourglass9 to start_Hourglass9 correct? you seem to holding Select not start which is why its probs not working

edit: nvm

Wow, that flashing never occurred prior to you trying to install A9LH? Because normally I would say that's something on the hardware side.

I'm at a loss here. Your files look to be in order and it LOOKS like A9LH and Luma are installed(as you have the arm9loaderhax.bin). I don't know what else you can do as you can't restore from a NAND because payloads don't load. There's not much you can do on a N3DS on 2.1 that wouldn't leave you with a brick.

Also, I just freshly install A9LH on my N3DS XL so I'll post a screenshot of my SD card, just making my morning cup of coffee.

I think it appeared after installing A9LH..

Hopefully my N3DS is not bricked ...

@Matzeus, here's the root of my SD card.

Thanks!
Can you maybe also show me whats inside these folders?
I must have messed up somewhere...

Is it safe to use someone elses Luma3ds configuration file?
Maybe this can help me out..

That should be all of the folders you need to compare. I'm not sure if one can use another's config file for Luma.

Thanks..
I think i totally screwed up my system because I didnt do the NAND-Backup like described in the tutorial. I used the backup I had before and this is probably the problem.

I am now able to get into the SafeA9HInstaller and click select. However it doesnt show me success or anything, just: Click any button to shutdown...
And this is it.
Any suggestions on what I can try out now?

Redo all the prep work.You might be missing something since it didn't tell you the install was successful.When I say prep work I mean this part

1. If it exists, copy the /files9/ folder on your SD card to a safe location on your computer and back it up to multiple locations (such as online file storage); the files inside could save you from total data loss if you break your system
2. Create a folder named cias on the root of your SD card if it does not already exist
3. Delete the 3ds folder from the root of your SD card if it exists
4. Copy the contents of the starterfolder in starter.zip to the root of your SD card
   • This will include a brand new 3dsfolder to replace the one you just deleted
5. Copy the contents of the SafeA9LHInstaller .7z to the root of your SD card
6. Copy the a9lh folder from the data_input .zip to the root of your SD Card
7. Copy the contents of the arm9loaderhax release .7z to a9lhfolder on your SD card
8. Copy hblauncher_loader.cia from the hblauncher_loader .zip to the/cias/ folder on your SD card
9. Copy lumaupdater.cia from the Luma3DS Updater .zip to the/cias/ folder on your SD card
10. Copy FBI.cia from the FBI .zip to the /cias/ folder on your SD card
11. Copy arm9loaderhax.bin from the Luma3DS .7z to the root of your SD card, overwrite existing files
12. Create a folder named luma on the root of your SD card
13. Create a folder named payloads in theluma folder on your SD card
14. Copy Hourglass9.bin from the Hourglass9 .zip to the/luma/payloads/ folder on your SD card and rename Hourglass9.bin tostart_Hourglass9.bin
15. Copy aeskeydb.bin to the /files9/folder on your SD card
16. Copy DspDump.3dsx to the /3ds/folder on your SD card
17. Copy the contents of fbi-2.4.2-injectable.zip to the /files9/ folder on your SD card

It's supposed to install fast, I think if you blink you'll miss the progress bar, it's that fast. It sounds like you successfully installed A9LH and Luma now.

If you don't have a NAND backup it's OK, it's just more tedious to get back to the latest firmware as doing it without a NAND backup breaks DS/DSi Mode which is fixable.

For now let's focus on finishing up the guide. Can you boot into Luma now?

 

[Matzeus]

One step further:
SafeInstaller now says, that the firm0.bin is invalid.

Bump:
redownloading data_input doesnt work..
Still says:
Error: firm0.bin is invalid or corrupted

Any ideas?

 

[Matzeus]

Alright.
It was an error with my sd card reader. I used another one and now I configured Luma3ds (yay! ) It gave me the "Failed to mount CTRNAND" error.
How do I proceed?

The guide says to keep going to the next step if you get that error.

Oh wait that's the restore part. Give me a sec I'll link you to what to do.

Thanks. I finally did it.
My N3DS is now on "Sys 11.3.0-36E" and everything is set up correctly.
Thanks for all your help!

Conclusion:
Change SD Card reader and see, if that helps.
