Hacking Black Screen/Blinking Blue Light

[solitaire4eva]

Okay I did something stupid! I had install ntrxboot thingy and luma on a 32gb card. I decided I wanted to use my 64gb card so i took out the 32gb and formatted it for something else via PC. Now I can't get my N3DS 11.5 to boot. it shows a flashing blue light before powering off. I have tried to install the exploit again but still just a flashing light and cuts off. I have access to a 2DS with original firmware identical to mines. Also i have a ntrboot card with the exploit. Am i out of luck and need to get a new 3DS or is there a way I can make a come back? I have no backup!

put the boot.firm on the root of your sd

Now I get a solid blue light but still black screen, but I am thankful because I am away from that blinking blue light. Thanks I will try to add some more files on it to see if it actually boots.

I figured this would be the best thing to try first, but more info would be helpfull, like did you install bootstrap9? or a9lh? when you boot, does holding select take you to the luma menu?

If you have bs9 installed, if you hold start+select+X on boot it will dump your otp

I installed bootstrap9 and lumina. The thing is I got rid of the actually card/info that I used to install everything with. I was thinking old school reind cfw where the card is emu and then I have a sys. that is why I did'n't back up Nothing happens with the select and power on.

Even if both screen or black? Because when i hold the buttons the blue light stays on but as soon as I let them go, the thing powers off.

Im out of luck, nothing gets dumped to the Nintendo's SD card

It seems everything is based on the SD card itself.

Wait let me put bootstrap folder stuff on the card and try again

 

[wicksand420]

make your luma folder at the root of the sd and inside make a payloads folder, inside the payloads folder put godmode9 inside, once you have that, hold start and turn on your console, see if it boots godmode

 

[wicksand420]

Any luck?

Any luck?

No luck I think its straight bricked. Its my fault for getting rid of the SD Card after installing the CFW. Sorry to waste so much of your time. I appreciate it. Its back to the glowing blue light then cut off, regardless of what I put on the Card.

 

[wicksand420]

I dont think it is bricked, there might be something out of place. your best bet is to put the luma folder on the sd and see if you can get either luma or the chain loader to boot, make sure to hold the button down before turning the console on

This what my root folder looks like.

 

[wicksand420]

do you have the godmode9.firm in luma/payloads? Also, now that you have the luma folder, have you tried to hold select and turn on your console?

yep all payloads in luma/payloads. the select combo dont do anything.

try your other sd, maybe the sd is the problem?

I just thought of something, did you format your 64gb sd to fat32?

I believe if the sd isn't fat32 the 3ds wont read it

The only thing I can think of is perhaps they have a different version of b9s or a9lh. Also, dont know if they need but I dont see a boot.3dsx

 

[solitaire4eva]

Yeah no luck even with the reformatting and added 3dx file. thanks guys though!

Only thing I can think of would be trying both the 7.1 boot.firm and if that dont work. the 7.0.5 boot.bin

 

[solitaire4eva]

what is the 7.0.5 boot.bin file? get rid of the bin extension?

 

[lone_wolf323]

It would be from https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases but you would want to keep the ext on it. Just make sure your pc doesnt add it on so its accidentally boot.firm.firm or the boot.bin.bin

7.0.5 has a 3dsx file but no boot file.
