Hacking CFW noob needs advice

[justdylan]

Hello, so i updated my N3ds XL from arm9 to b9s a while back and recently my 3ds when booted says "no SD card detected" and nothing on the home menu appears aside from the usual stock apps like settings and all that. There is also FBI installed. The firmware says Sys 11.0.5-38U. I can hold start when booting and it opens Godmode9 but it doesnt detect the sd which makes me believe that the sd is just busted now. How can i use a new SD card or whatever to get back to my normal CFW life. I have the old bins and files from arm9 backed up on my computer. Any help is very much appreciated. Thank You!

First, you should connect your SD card to your computer. If your computer recognizes the SD card, then you might be able to reformat it using SD Formatter after backing up the contents of the SD card to your computer. After reformatting the SD card, put the contents you backed up back onto the SD card and try it again.

If you end up losing the contents of your SD card or end up getting a new SD card, you should put the Luma3DS 8.1.1 boot.firm onto the root of the new SD card.
