Hacking Assistance with ntrboot and SafeB9SInstaller

[midas1108]

Doing this for first time. Using a new R4i Gold 3DS RTS on an original 3DS running v11.4.0-20U. I can't get SafeB9SInstaller to launch. I've done the following per the ntrboot guide at 3ds.guide:

• Flashed ntrboot onto R4i Gold 3DS (chose the option for R4i Gold 3DS)
• Copied SafeB9SInstaller.firm to root of my SD card and renamed to boot.firm.
• Copied contents of starter.zip to root of my SD card.
• Created folder named boot9strap in root of my SD card.
• Downloaded v1.3 of boot9strap.firm and boot9strap.firm.sha from project's github and placed them into the boot9strap folder on my SD card.
• Inserted flash card into 3DS.
• Located sleep sensor.
• Powered off 3DS.
• Placed magnet on sleep sensor.
• Pressed and held Power, Start, Select and X for anywhere from 5-10 seconds and released.

While holding power the power button would light up, but as soon as I released the buttons (still holding the magnet in place) the light would just go back off. My assumption is that upon releasing the buttons the card would boot and start the SafeB9SInstaller, but this isn't happening.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is there something special I need to have done to my flash cart? Or will this method not work with the 3DS version I'm running? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

**EDIT** Disregard. I just saw a random comment on another thread that mentioned that the files needed to be on the 3DS SD card, not the card in the flashcart. The guide was just mentioning "your device" and I wasn't differentiating that from "your flashcard."

yeah the mistake you made is common dont worry just so you know the only files you ever need to put on the flashcart are the ones to flash it
