Homebrew Help! My 3DS won't load homebrew!

It seems like 8.0 causes some problems, maybe downgrading Luma helps.

This is the last 7.1 hourly before 8.0, it's compatible with 1.2

So just replace the boot.firm?

Ok replaced and running 7.1, but now I can't open the Rosalina menu cause it's an older release. How do I get into homebrew?

Deleting hbl in FBI and then redownloading it from TitleDB (also in FBI) worked for me

Can't access FBI or anything. I didn't have any installed apps via FBI on my 3DS.

What exactly do you mean? After finishing the guide you should have FBI which should work regardless of what you installed or not.
What happens if you start FBI?

I couldn't launch FBI via the homebrew channel in the guide. So I didin't get it installed by the CIA

If you are on Luma3ds 8.0, then you cant use soundhax.

Yeah I tried... When I replace Luma 7.1 with with 8.0, I can get into the homebrew channel, just none of my apps boot

Ah, the guide got changed again, good to know. Wonderful how Plailect and Aurora kinda fucked this up.

Anyway, you can try either re-downloading Luma 8.0 here, replace the boot.firm again and hope that it works or try downloading a luma hourly here, replace the boot.firm and hope that it works.
Replace the boot.3dsx on the root of your SD card with this one after reupdating to Luma 8.0, seems to be a fix for not working *hax payloads, maybe it'll help. This won't fix the exception handlers though.

If it still doesn't work then, you can try asking on the homebrew discord for more support.

Your current setup only allows Luma 8.0 to work.
Regardless of it may causing a ban, I really recommend installing HBL and FBI as cias, just so stuff like this doesn't happen/ is easier to fix, then downgrading to Luma 7.1, because of these annoying exception handlers we are forced to see, you will be missing Rosalina though.
It's your choice.

I don't mind installing them as CIA's, or missing the Rosalina menu. I will try using the 3dsx and firm file
