Homebrew I just format my SD card but the system won't boot

[Verixon1905]

I need a help, yesterday I format my FAT32 SD card and copy everything back to the SD card but my system won't boot. It just run a blue light for 1 sec and gone. I spent lots of hour on fixing this but still no hope. I don't really good at doing this thing please help.

Ps. Already try to reinstall the arm9loader but luma also didn't boot for me

You're a magician if you can reinstall the arm9loader lol.


Just put the arm9loaderhax.bin from luma on the root of the sd and boot. Or clean your sd card slot.

 

[Verixon1905]

I already try that but nothing boot for me

Questions:
- Was your system hacked with A9LH?
- Do you use emunand or sysnand?
- How did you format? (program you used/settings)
- Did you copy ALL files to your computer as backup and did you copy ALL files back?
- Does you system boot when you hold SELECT and then power it on?
- Does you system boot when you hold START and then power it on (must go to Luma payloads)?
-

Are you sure you formatted it to FAT32? If it's bigger than 32GB you can't use Windows' format tool.

You can't use NTFS on the 3DS, nor ExFAT. Only FAT32 will work.

Yes I hold SELECT and no response and also was START.

Like posted a few posts above, you need to format to FAT32 Not NTFS

I just know this...
If I format it into FAT32 and put Arm9loaderhax.bin in my SD card root again will it work???

Just knowing this so If I want to copy a game which have a larger file than 4gb what should I do with it?

 

[DjoeN]

there aren't any bigger then 4GB games as far as i know

 

[Verixon1905]

there aren't any bigger then 4GB games as far as i know

There is Monster Hunter that is exactly 4gb lol

 

[V0ltr0n]

Monster hunter isn't even 4gb iirc. There are some that are close, 3.5gb etc, but none at a solid 4.

Your sd MUST be fat32 to work like everyone said. Also, attempting to install a9lh over a system with a9lh already installed will result in a brick if i remember right. So let's hope you didn't actually do that.

 

[Verixon1905]

Hey guys everything works normally now thanks for helping me

 

[V0ltr0n]

Good to hear.

Well I'd be insterested in how he would have removed the arm9loader. getting it back shouldn't be that hard iirc its just a layer of security Applied to the nand and not a SoC but I can also be completely wrong on that. haven't read into the 3ds hardware in a while
