Homebrew Can't boot into the Luma chainloader menu

[Seliph]

I'm trying to go into the luma chainloader menu but when I press power button + start it just launches godmode9. I'm not sure why it's doing this, any help would be appreciated.
Edit: Solved the problem. For some reason Luma will only boot payloads stored on the CTR-nand which is really odd but a non-issue.

It's because you only have one payload. It doesn't need to load the chainloader if you only have one payload.

Luma automatically will boot the payload if it is the only one available, instead of showing the menu.

Yeah, but I also have SafeB9Sinstaller in the payloads folder as well which is the payload I want to launch

Luma can no longer boot .bin payloads only .firm

can you post a screenshot of the payloads folder?

 

[Seliph]

Luma can no longer boot .bin payloads only .firm

I know, they're all .firms

 

[TheLegendofMario]

I know, they're all .firms

Ok Is godmode9 named "start_Godmode9.firm"?

 

[Seliph]

can you post a screenshot of the payloads folder?

There's the folder. What's even weirder is that I deleted the godmode9 payload at one point and it still launched godmode9. I have since reinstalled godmode9 on my sd card...
Maybe I have godmode9 installed on the nand for some reason?

Nope. It's up_godmode9.firm

Does the 3DS boot normally when you don't press Start?

try holding up on the d-pad on boot.

Yup

Okay, I figured out that I have godmode9 stored on the ctr-nand as well as my SD card. I deleted it from the nand and now nothing happens when I press start.
It's really odd. It's only booting .firms stored on the nand apparently because I put my payloads in my luma folder on the nand and now it works.

N3DS or O3DS?

 

[Seliph]

N3DS or O3DS?

N3DS. I figured out the problem though. It seems that my 3DS only wants to boot payloads that I've stored on the CTR-nand for some reason.

Thats odd and another problem.

so what do I have to replace on ctrnand in order to make it work?

 

[naddel81]

I did it using another SD card. now my old card (64gb) will not boot anymore. it just shows a blue blink once and thats it. how to fix this? was working fine on a9lh.

Sd card might have died. Backup what you can and test with h2testw (windows) or F3 (Linux)

test came out without errors. works fine after installing the B9S with another card. very strange.

Did you test the 64 GB card in H2testw while it was empty?

Also, the 3DS doesn't read or write to a card unless it's formatted FAT32 + 32 KB cluster size. For cards bigger than 32 GB, you'll need to use a program like guiformat.
If you have a 128 GB or larger, you can elect to format in FAT32 + 64 KB cluster size. Just don't use 64 KB cluster size for 64 GB or smaller.

If you're card still doesn't work after reformatting in guiformat, you'll need to switch on over to MiniTool Partition Wizard (free edition) .

• Format: FAT32
• Cluster Size: 32 KB
• Partition: Primary
• Disk: MBR

MiniTool Partition Wizard Software Tutorial Guide

1. Delete Partition (for both partitions)
2. Initialize to MBR Disk -or- Convert GPT to MBR Disk (if it's in GPT Disk)
3. Rebuild MBR
4. Create a New Partition [ Create as: Primary | File System: FAT32 | Cluster Size: 32 KB ]
