Originally I was using the latest nightly to get past the error code when trying to go online but then I noticed that my DS flash cart (R4i Gold Clone - Deep Labyrinth) and other legit DS games won't boot.

So I saw that a new version was released today (v5.5) and thought that would fix it but it didn't. They worked just great with v5.4 so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Haven't touched the TWL or AGB firms and GBA VC works perfectly. I did downgrade the DS white list.

My system has A9LH with latest updated sysNAND.

Thank you for your time.

?!
I'am not sure what version you had and use now.....(thats why there are a ?! at the begining)
I have a M3 card and it works perfectly with all Luma3DS versions out there!
(tried my DS games and they are working with Luma3DS 5.5)
Actual we are at Luma3DS 5.5 : https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases
Before there was a 5.4 (take a look at the above url)

So what did you use before (as it was working) ... and what do you use now? (i mean your CFW)

P.S. there are no 5.5.7 version AFAIK!

Sorry I mistyped originally, I am using the latest (5.5) as in the title and it was working on 5.4.

Just rolled back to 5.4 and it's not booting on that version either. Weird.

Ok got it :)
Is there something else that has changed?
Because i dont have any problem with it (i'am on FW 11 with my sysNAND and if i read it right you are too)!
Maybe it has something to do with your DG of the DS whitelist (but i dont have experience with that .... sorry)

Hope someone who did read you thread!

I don't think so, seeing as it was working with the Downgraded white list when I first installed A9LH, modifying TWL_Firm is the only thing that should affect booting DS titles.

You're doing this whole "hacking" thing wrong. And you're doing the "helping" thing wrong too.

Try reinstalling the correct TWL FIRM, to do this, download 3DNUS and use it to download the title that corresponds to the type of 3DS you have.

0004013800000102 v8817 if you have an Old 3DS or 2DS
0004013820000102 v9936 if you have a New 3DS


Install it with the latest FBI, not BBM/DevMenu.

The reason you are likely encountering this issue is because you "downgraded the DS whitelist." so to speak.

Is Luma's own arm9loaderhax.bin file the one on the root of your 3DS' SD-Card?
Correct, that's the only one I'm using.

You made a rollback with the file on your 3DS (the one with the *.bak ending)?
Or did you DL the 5.4 version from the above URL?
The nightly version is that the one from here: http://astronautlevel2.github.io/Luma3DS/ or another?
Do you use an updater HB or CIA for Luma3DS?
I just tried 5.4 and 5.5 from the official Luma github.

I installed the bluecardfix.cia way back when I was using Menuhax on 9.2 sysNAND and it worked when I originally switched over to A9LH.
