Fun times ahead. I followed the guide to the best of my abilities but ran into this error. The guide says to proceed if you get this error but i'm not able to load any payloads.

I've tried to launch Hourglass9 and Decrypt9 by holding down buttons while powering on but they don't load and i just receive the "Failed to mount CTRNAND" error. The only thing i can launch by holding buttons down is the Luma configuration menu itself by holding select. All i can access on the New 3DS is this menu, that error, or a black screen if i have no SD card plugged in. I've also tried renaming Hourglass9 and Decrypt9 to arm9loaderhax.bin and placing it in the root of the card but that just gives a black screen too.

Here's a list of all the files on my SD card: http://pastebin.com/qeDF4F7Q

I feel like I've tried everything I can think of. I've tried assigning them to different buttons, using an older versions of luma and basically anything I don't think runs the risk of bricking. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

The "Failed to mount CTRNAND" error is from Luma3DS, if you get that error, that also means Luma doesn't try to load your payloads but instead booting to SysNAND. Are you sure your payloads are installed correctly ?
If you can't get it to work, then just rename the payload you need (probably Decrypt9) to "arm9loaderhax.bin" and put that in the root of your SD card. It'll replace Luma3DS and you'll be able to restore your backup.

Then just restore Luma3DS and proceed with the guide.

Sorry but as I mentioned in the original post, renaming either Decrypt9 or Hourglass9 to arm9loaderhax.bin and putting it in the root just shows a black screen.

Right. They probably don't init the screen so it's probably actually running but you can't see it.
You need to get Luma3DS payloads working. Check that your path is correct, that you renamed the payloads properly as mentioned in the guide. Screen it if you can because if Luma can boot, there's no reason to not be able to chainload payloads.

Sounds like a bad download then. Try redownloading. You're currently on 2.1 right; ie you haven't restored your backup yet?

I've redownloaded both hourglass9 and godmode and put them into the payloads folder exactly as the guide says. Here's how it looks: http://i.imgur.com/98ogT6d.png

It still won't boot into either payload whatever I do. I'm assuming I'm on 2.1. The first part of the guide I found an issue with is when you have to visit
Code:
http://dukesrg.github.io/2xrsa.html?arm11.bin
via the browser and i got the glitched screen. I followed the mini troubleshooting guide for that and just pressed select as it said. it didnt restart itself so I just powered off the console as it said to in the guide too. I copied the OTP file onto my PC and then began the Luma configuration. Then i hit this roadblock. I just can't get it to chainload anything but I'm not certain why.

Rename it arm9loaderhax_si.bin instead. The _si indicates to A9LH to initialize the screen.

Any chance you've doubled on the extensions?

*.bin.bin ?

Edit. no they're fine; try the above with _si then try replacing the /arm9loaderhax.bin with the hourglass9 one

I love you. Although it involved a lot of taking the SD card in and out to go back between arm9loaderhax and hourglass, I've finally finished the guide. Thank you so much!

    I would like a Predator game "Kill Team" it takes place in the Jungle of the first movie, your team is sent to hunt the predator, using current tech drones and a trained team. Set traps use strategy to hunt and trap or kill the predator.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Sounds like it would be an exciting ride....
