I was on 10.3 the last time it was working.Again, you're sure you're on A9lh and not b9s right? If you had Luma v7.0.5 or lower then it is, otherwise no.

Then you're on b9s (not a9lh). Also, the updating of b9s that you were doing won't help in your situation.I was on 10.3 the last time it was working.
no, the blue light just turns on and fades out every time. I also tried safe mode to no avail.Then you're on b9s (not a9lh). Also, the updating of b9s that you were doing won't help in your situation.
You can't access either Luma3DS menu (holding select on boot), or GodMode9 (holding start) i take it?
So… SafeB9SInstaller as boot file got accepted. That's strange! Having now latest B9S, the color of the notification LED will allow further narrowing down the issue.Something new came up. I followed the steps to install B9S which went well up until the end where the 3ds now does this.
Unlikely the PC hardware is to blame.I used a program to read both sd cards and make absolutely sure that nothing was wrong and they both ended up being fine. I am using an sd card reader since my pc case doesnt come with a slot. That couldnt be the issue could it?
It seems like both sd firm and ctrnand are both corrupt. What would you recommend?So… SafeB9SInstaller as boot file got accepted. That's strange! Having now latest B9S, the color of the notification LED will allow further narrowing down the issue.

Try a different FIRM. Rename GodMode9.firm to boot.firm and try booting it. After all SafeB9SInstaller got loaded as well.It seems like both sd firm and ctrnand are both corrupt. What would you recommend?
I really cant explain it, but its now unbricked. Thanks alot for the helpTry a different FIRM. Rename GodMode9.firm to boot.firm and try booting it. After all SafeB9SInstaller got loaded as well.
I don't understand this. Really strange.
Wait a moment, please.I really cant explain it, but its now unbricked. Thanks alot for the help
Ah, that doesnt sound good. So how would I go about replacing it?Wait a moment, please.
Something seems to be fishy there .
Some FIRM getting accepted and another not isn't normal. There might be an issue with the console SD reader after all, like contact problems. That could also explain the frequent crashes as well. Replacing the reader might become necessary.
Indeed, the fading blue light is most of the time an indication of a failing sd card reader, along with the iffy boot chances..Wait a moment, please.

Read my first reply and click on the link if you have an old 3ds. Also make sure to get one (sd card reader replacement) that is designed for your system. Though first you can just try and unplug/plug it again and see if it makes any difference, otherwise you need to get a new one.Ah, that doesnt sound good. So how would I go about replacing it?
Just for future reference. Never follow video guides. They tend to be incorrect and become outdated within days. For 3ds info I suggest 3ds.hacks.guideI used sthetix's video to install cfw.

thanks for the tip. I've been using videos this whole time.Just for future reference. Never follow video guides. They tend to be incorrect and become outdated within days. For 3ds info I suggest 3ds.hacks.guide
That sounds really bad. Where did you get this from? I've never heard of this before.Fwiw this exact kind of behavior also occurs when the FCRAM is bad since b9s uses FCRAM as buffer to store the FIRM file. This usually causes some FIRMs to work (usually smaller ones) but not others.
That is what I feared. The omnipresent Discord- that isn't publicly visible on the internet.
