Hello everyone !
First of all, please don't mind my crappy english. It's been a while since I posted anything on a forum.

I managed to install Luma3DS on my old 3DS XL 11.43E. It used to work like a charm. But ! I gave my 3DS to my little brother for a month and when I got it back, nothing was working anymore.
Everything was gone from my launch screen : no Homebrew channel, no Save manager...
When I press select when turning on my 3DS, I can acess the Luma3ds menu.

I tried to follow the procedure on 3ds.hackguide again but when I arrive at the step 16 of the section 2 : steelminer,
I get the error steelhax an error occurred (ErrDisp).

I checked my sdcard using h2test and everything was ok !

I have no idea what went wrong !
Any help would be very welcome.
Thank you :)

  1. You don't need to re-hack your 3DS if Luma3DS is still installed.
  2. When you boot your 3DS while holding the Select button, which version of Luma3DS is displayed?
  3. Is it possible your little brother formatted the system?

1. Got it !
2. It says Luma3ds v.10.0.1
3. I can't say for sure but he probably did since I lost everything on the console, even the Mii I created.


EDIT : Just noticed I also have access to GodMode when I hold start when starting my 3ds!

In case your 3DS still boots to HOME Menu
Check if the Nintendo 3DS folder is still intact with all the games, updates, dlcs, saves, etc. still installed.

If he did a Format System Memory, there's a possibility you can restore the movable.sed previous encryption using the CTRTransfer (Type D9) - Fix movable.sed KeyY.
After matching the KeyY to the <ID0> subfolder, you may need to follow-up restoring missing tickets with faketik.

I followed the steps described on a topic on this forum. Since I'm a new member, I can't post link.
In case anyone have the same problem than me, the name of this topic is :
Formatted system via system format on Luma3ds, how to get homebrew and FBI back?
And now everything works fine ! I can't access my saved checkpoint files but I don't mind.
Thank you everyone for your quick reply !

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
