Homebrew Got a 6.0. How do I update it to 9.2?

If you're able to boot to the Luma config menu by holding Select when turning on, but not able to boot Hourglass9 when holding Start, my best guess would be that you have a typo somewhere.

Can you double check that the file is called "start_Hourglass9.bin" and that it is in the "/luma/payloads/" folder. If you've misspelled "start_" or "payloads" then that would explain the issue.

Hourglass9 works fine. So does Luma3DS and Descypt9WIP. It's just that when it boot the system, nothing happens.

Gotcha. Ok now we're on the same page.

Did you use Hourglass9 to restore NANDmin.bin?
Did you delete the folder /Nintendo 3DS/(32 Character ID)/(32 Character ID)/extdata/00000000/0000008f ?
Do you have firmware.bin in the luma folder?

Yes
Yes
And doesn't that only work if the firmware's 4.0-4.5?

And you are correct. You aren't supposed to have a firmware.bin. I was checking to make sure you didn't have one.

Here's what I would try next:

• Go to the region changing section of the guide: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Region-Changing
• Download the 9.2.0 ctrtransfer for your console (I'm assuming USA, but I don't know whether you have New or Old).
• Put the .bin and .sha from that download in the files9 folder.
• Run Decrypt9, "SysNAND Options" -> "CTRNAND Transfer" -> "Auto CTRNAND Transfer"
• Select the 9.2.0 ctr image
• When it asks about a backup, name it NANDmin1.bin so you don't overwrite your existing backup.

That should update you to 9.2.0 and fix any corrupt system files you might have. The nice thing is if that doesn't work you can always use Hourglass9 to restore your NANDmin.bin and get back to where you are now, so you can't hurt anything.

Thank you. I'll try this again.

EDIT: Wait, what's the first step for?

I'm just telling you where to go to get the 9.2.0 ctr image. This is different from the 2.1.0 ctr image you downloaded earlier in the guide.

I see the diffrence. Thanks, pal.

EDIT: First step and already a black screen. I can't get into Descypt9 now.

 

[LuxerWap]

Yeah. I'm still running into that black screen.

EDIT: Never mind. I got it working, but when I try to transfer, it fails.

Never mind. After the transfer, it booted up 9.2!
