Hello,

I have new 3ds xl on firmware 11.6.0-39e it is running luma3ds payload version 9.0-2a840f2. I havent updated anything since I softmoded it 2 or 3 years ago...

first of all I cant update luma3ds. running updater gives error: fatal error failed to obtain required data code -660561850

also when starting 3ds if I dont hold L button it starts OFW. i tried to mess around with luma boot menu but nothing changes...

but most frustrating is that now I cant use internet browser.

so can anyone point me to a safe guide to update CFW so this issues could be fixed, I dont care having latest luma3ds but i want to make internet browser usable again and fix this "boot with holding L button" and make it automatic to boot into CFW

Thank you. Already did it. Luma updater as always wasnt working and updating so had to manually update to stable version and then did the firmware update.

  1. Which system version are you on now?
  2. Which version of Luma3DS is displayed when booting the 3DS while holding Select?
  3. Is the 3DS connected to the internet?
  4. Have you tried clearing the DNS settings in your 3DS internet settings?

You might have some bad DNS settings from a long time ago that are blocking updates. Either remove those DNS settings or, better yet, remove your internet settings from your 3DS completely and reconnect to the internet anew.
