NEVER MIND! Got it to work everyone! SD card was not writable. Now it is.

Hi all,

I'm updating my B9S on my 3DS (was previously on version EMU 11.4 and LUMA 8). I'm on this step where I turn on my 3DS into LUMA 9.1 and enable "Show NAND or user string in System Settings."

After pressing start and enabling that setting, it shows up an error as follows:

"An error has occurred:

Error writing the configuration file"

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks!

what does it mean? was not writable? you switch it on sd card? or how?
I suppose that the write protection slider of the SD card (or the SD adapter) was activated. I mean, this:

Your microSD card works normally on a PC or another computing device? That is, you can write and read any file into the card without problems?

Did you use H2TestW to verify/test the microSD card status?

yes i verify micro sd by 3ds.eiphax.tech/sderrors.html
And you used another microSD card (on FAT32 format, 32kB cluster size, primary partition, MBR table) with only the boot.firm from latest Luma version on its root? Only for discard and verify if the same problem is present

Get another and try, please (ask to borrow one, if you will).

It's important, because if the same problem persists after all, then possibly is a hardware failure (SD card reader/slot from your console could be damaged/faulty/dirty...)

Technically, yes. There's an option (not recommend, by the way) to uninstall the hack/CFW, but with the actual problem on your console is hard to get it on (because it needs access to the microSD, anyway)
