So, I was following a guide on CFW (because when it comes down to things such as Luma, i'm an utter noob) and I managed to do a ctrtransfer to 2.1.0 successfully.
Then I moved onto this step of the guide, which appeared to be going OKAY. I understand the uTorrent steps and followed the guide, even double checking I had each file correct (to what the guide was telling) and went onto booting my O3DS in 2.1.0. I insterted the SD card AFTER it was booted, which is what the guide says I assume, and proceeded to enter the url as prompted. When armloader9 actually booted, it said something about a payload error and I then gave up at that point because I'd been running into a few errors before hand. I decided to call it a day (and here is where I really think I screwed up) I did back up as it says in the previous step.
"If you do not already have a NAND backup, backup SysNAND to NANDmin.bin when prompted by pressing (A)
'backup' I created in safeHAX before doing the ctrtransfer.
Also, it comes up in FBI as under 'Ext Save Data'.
I honestly wish I'd tried to figure out the payload issue with armloader9, because a lot of the games had progress. Sorry if I sound like a noob lool, I'm honestly not used to payloads or .bin files. I only really know basic homebrew + legit CIA install + save manager in all honestly.
++ Does anyone know a way to skip sig check without a CFW or am I just being a noob again? I can't even install cakeFW without screwing up somehow.

- Having a backup of your device’s NAND is REQUIRED.
- Skipping this backup will result in the LOSS of all installed games and saves!"
