Hacking Blue screen after hardmod?

[Alex4U]

right, sorry for the delay.
so i reinstall the original nand turn it on and it goes to luna3ds v7.1
i tried my patched-nand again and same issue? i assume my patched nand is not set up properly?

What are you trying to do? Also, what's the version of your 3DS?

 

[Kubas_inko]

but you don't need hardmod for luma and b9s update right?
Make sure, you have correct "patches" for your nintendo

Nope. For Luma3DS or B9S just use Luma3DSUpdater.

Yeah and performing the hardmod method on a system with a9lh already installed would only lead to a blue screen of death.....case closed

*momentarily opened again......follow this guide https://3ds.guide/a9lh-to-b9s and, closed again

if you plug it in the laptop and it shows, then the hardmod works. You should really read the whole post

i am trying to hardmod to install custom firmware. i am on 11.4
it wasnt running custom firmware so now i am confused.
if you are saying it has custom firmware already what do i need to do now so it boots to the 3ds home screen and not to luma.
sorry for the basic questions im new to the hardmod party

When you put your backup NAND (via hardmod) back to your nintendo, what does it do? (hold select while booting)

If it's goes to luma on your original FW your either on a9lh or b9s already, if your on a9lh follow the guide to update it to b9s.....if your on b9s....idk what your trying to do

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Did they take out the sd from the SD adapter (the one used for the hardmod) before booting?

The hardmod is totally un-needed seeing as he said he boots into luma when he restored his original nand....so he already has cfw and should just follow the update guide I linked....the hardmod method is only any use for people on stock 11.4

Right too many cooks spoil the broth, I will leave others to help as there is too much back and forth going on, you did suggest you seen the luma configure screen though which would mean your already on cfw

 

[HugaTheFox]

But OP already has cfw (and b9s or a9lh) and with cfwed nand op is doing hardmod, which cant work

Ah okay

thanks for all the input and feedback, i have made progress.. right so i followed the guide, now i turn on my 3ds and it boots up as normal.
however when i hold start and turn on it does nothing, just boots normal, no godmode?
if i hold select and turn on it takes me to the luma3ds menu.
so stumped again on why there is no godmode when pressing start?

If you follow the guide I linked above it guides you through the process including getting godmode9 setup, just stick to the guide, don't skip any steps

thanks for your help, i followed the guide,didnt miss anything and got to this problem.
i am thinking starting a fresh might be the easy option now especially as i am all wired up for a hard mod.
if i go to format system memory will this take me back to a fresh start so i can re-hardmod?
thanks again for everyones patience! if it was a pi issue i would be ok but just learning on 3ds at the moment.

 

[gamesquest1]

in the guide it does mention downloading godemode9 and renaming it to start_godmode9.firm and putting it in the /luma/payloads/ folder, just make sure that its there

 

[lpoolm]

yer, did it all like that! its Bloody annoying me now

 

[gamesquest1]

and did you definitely get b9s installed or are you still on a9lh, if your on a9lg you will need the start_godmode9.bin but if your on b9s its the start_godmode9.firm (in the god mode release file you will see the .firm or .bin versions for each respective method

 

[lpoolm]

just tried the different godmode files with start_ at the beginning still no joy.

Is your folder structure definitely luma/payloads not luma/payload or anything?

 

[lpoolm]

Yep, just like that.

 

[HugaTheFox]

Yep, just like that.

Can you take a picture if it?
