Is it possible to install b9s+luma and then use ctrtransfer? Its an interesting question (for me).


You can't do this iirc. Correct me if i'm wrong, but it is system specific. Thats the reason why people use ctrtransfer.
cant install b9s

You need an compatible ntrboot flashcard, a magnet and godmode9. And an image from the guide for your region.


Btw. This here ;)
Searching for Gateway bricks leads to numerous partially conflicting results on the web – concerning what this actually did:
Erase or lock(encrypt) the NAND, reprogram the NAND controller, set the NAND to read only. [This thread was about unbricking with hardmod and NAND-programmer]

I myself are not long enough into 3DS hacking and have never read in much about Gateway as it was already obsolete by then…

But whatever it did, as far as I know, it’s more than just deleting some files which can be cured with normal CTRTransfer in GodMode9. This leads to:
and with ctr transfer cant use beacuse console get firmware partition error
