Hacking Faulty CIA

[Rayqu]

So yesterday I was uploading a few new games into my sd card to install them through fbi, but one of the CIAs messed up my sd card and i had to reformat it. This of course deleted everything in the sd card. Now the question is, do I have to reinstall Homebrew? This has happened to me before, and there was a suggestion to follow 3ds hacks guide from a certain step, but I cannot remember where I had posted the question. So what should I do?

Yes. And it would be this:

So during Section 3 this is what happens. What should I do?

Select another 3DS app (in change of "Download Play"), except "Health & Safety" or "Faceraiders", and try again

And check if you have the "boot.3dsx" file from Homebrew Launcher on root of the SD card.

If you don't have that file, then download from here and put it on the root of the SD card:

Did you copy all the files detailed in the "Prep Work" section?

Yes, I just rechecked it and everything is where it should be

Files are unzipped and not in the folders you downloaded them from yes?

Yup, I did unzip them

Do you have the GodMode9.firm file (from GM9 1.9.2 pre-release) on "sd:/luma/payloads/" location on your SD?

If you will, put a copy from that same .firm file on the same location, but with a different name (e.g. Godmode9-1.firm). Although, it shouldn't be necessary

Yup I had the file there. Did do what you suggested, but the same thing occurs. Hmm, what if I reset my 3ds factory settings and just start the guide from the beginning? Or would that brick my 3ds or something?

Then, perharps your SD card is damaged/faulty. The recommended step to check it is this (or just change it for another good one), and later repeat the tutorial:

Edit: Just to confirm... Are you using the very latest version of Luma CFW (10.2) or what are you using?

I dont really know, I hacked my 3ds around 3 years ago, then last year, I think, the same thing happened as now, but I just followed the finishing up part of the tutorial and it went fine. So it might be an old version. As I said, could I factory reset my 3ds and just re-do the tutorial?

Factory restore will never uninstall cfw. its not recommended at all for troubleshooting.

Ok so I went into the luma app and it says that the version is 10.0.1. If I update it, would that fix the problem?

Yes. Try with that, just to see... If doesn't change, then check your SD to discard errors on it

Oh wow, that worked. Thanks for your help. I'll let you know if there will be any other problems.
