How are you trying to get to hourglass? Did you place the arm9loaderhax.bin for hourglass9 into the root of your sd card? I'm trying to help you out but you're only giving me fragments of information. There are more than one arm9loaderhax.bin. Every program you chainload from Luma has one. (Basically any program that ends in "9", hourglass9, decrypt9, godmode9, etc.) Try loading those instead of Luma.

I think I may have figured out where you went wrong.

After installing the cia's the guide has you copy the arm9loaderhax.bin from your sd card to your CTR nand. I think you may have fat fingered it and accidentally deleted all contents instead. As far as I know this should not affect the arm9loaderhax installation and you should still be able to load an arm9loaderhax.bin from the sd card. However, I have never nuked my ctr nand so I can not say for sure.

that the big problem.. i cant get to hourglass.. what is hardmod? and how can i do that?

edit: wtf soldering? i cant do that.. is there another option? how to make arm9loaderhax.bin works?
Ok try this download this zip and take the arm9loaderhax.bin and put it on the root of your sd and try boot your 3ds with your sd without holding anything. it should boot hour glass 9.

Hold down start while booting then restore a nand backup from hourglass.

I have no qualms with cussing but try not to... Why the hell did it take you 2 years to come back here and revisit fixing your 3DS?

Probably because ntrboothax didnt exsist yet and he probably needed to hardmod if i had to take a educated guess.

Aaand, he signed off. :/

His 2nd to last reply was on Jan 20, 2017 while the thread trails off in March. NTRboot was *officially* released May 30, 2017 [1], but news of its practicality must have been rumored earlier. Okay, so people don't catch onto something until it's well established and becomes a done deal: lets add 6 months tops. That gives an entire 2018 year he could have heard of 3DS homebrew, hacks, and custom firmware developments.

This is unless of course bricking his 3DS devastated his well being so much that he ignored anything 3DS related altogether.

If @ponching27 does not reply back in the next 2 days, I'll send him a PM with repair info pertaining to whatever softbrick he has.

Will this work guys
https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/...4l.searchlist.list.37.5ed71bbeDBVnae&search=1

Thanks for all your help.. i really appriciate it..
it could . . . or it may not. see its not pre-flashed so you will need a console that can load it . . . a working ds or dsi or 3ds (or any variant of these consoles) will be needed to set up the exploit on the sd card

the card i linked comes with ntrboot (literally) on it . . . not just the ability to use it

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
