Hi I was given a 2DS XL that shows this error when starting up. Appears it was hacked but the person attempted to erase the hack by reflashing to stock fw.
But this person wasn’t aware you need to follow a procedure to uninstall CFW.

Is there a procedure I can use to re hack it again and reload CFW?

thanks

Ok I put the 9.1 boot.firm on the root of the SD, and now it boots into a Luma3DS v.91 Configuration Screen.

Says Press A to select, Start to Save.
With various options

luma will boot the config screen if you don't have the config save. yeah, it's a luma issue that you have. you just needed to update.

you want to enable sys in NAND option at the minimum. that way you'll know you're on cfw. it will says sys next to version; official shows ver.

I would. it's suggested in the 3ds tutorial I believe. you'll at least have piece of mind knowing that everything is working.

Ok I enabled the show Nand string thing, and booted again, it shows Sys 11.10.0-43E

Can I update firmware via normal procedure, and update to Luma 10.2 now?

After that I take it that's it, or do I need to load a CFW, or is Luma the CFW?

thanks

you may need to update luma first or you could get that error again. it's an easy fix as just putting the boot.firm on the sd card. godmode can put it in the ctrnand or you can use a luma updater. you can then update sysnand. you can really do either, but it's easier this way.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

btw, before you update, backup up the sysnand as @TurdPooCharger suggested. you'll be able to rollback easily and in case something happens when you update, you'll have a lifeline.

of course, but tell that to the man who now has a boot loop on his wii u after using a youtube tutorial. it may be fixable, but he has no nand backup, if it's not.
