So, this is going to be a long explanation.

So I tried turned on my 3ds today, and it won't turn on. I tried everything to fix it, but it wouldn't work. Since I thought it was dead I wiped the SD card completely of all its contents so I could reuse it. And when I was laying in bed, I tried to turn it on, and guess what? IT WORKS. I don't know how or why but it does.

Now I have CFW with Luma3ds and I want to get into the homebrew launcher, to get FBI, so I can get all my things back. But I don't know how. Any Ideas?

  1. Do not add or write stuff to your SD card at this moment. This can damage or corrupt your hidden data.
  2. Scan your card with a recovery program. Check this post for several options.
    • Try to get a full edition of one those somehow. I recommend EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard.
  3. If you're lucky, copy all your lost 3DS setup back to your computer.
  4. If you have a spare SD card, reformat that as FAT32 + 32 KB cluster size. Use guiformat for a card larger than 32 GB.
    • Try not to use your original card in case you forgot to retrieve something.
  5. While the card's empty, do a Full Write + Verify Test with H2testw.
  6. If the card passes without error, delete the *.h2w test files and copy all your stuff back.
  7. Try booting your 3DS with that 2nd card. Check if all your titles are intact.
    • It is advised you go ahead and try backing up all your saves and extdata with Checkpoint or JKSM.
If you need essential custom firmware files, use the archive and instructions to help you get started found here.

    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:

    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign

    Sweet found my Wii u PSU right after I ordered a new one :tpi:
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
