Hacking Lost everything on my 3ds when moving sd cards

[RocksRule21]

I formatted my new micro sd card to fat 32, I made a backup for my files, but when I actually transferred all the files over and insert it to my 3ds, all my software was gone, but I can still boot in gm9 and luma. Help?

every game you have on there is signed to be console unique
basically you would have to do a system transfer or ctrtransfer

So is there anything I can do now?

What you did sounds the same as what I always did when buying a larger card. It was never a problem either.

I don't understand why this happened. It was the same console and everything but for whatever reason, everything is gone. It's not like i switched my 3ds or anything. I even did these upgrades before.

can you put the sd back into the other 3d and see if all the games reappear

Is it possible Luma is booting from CTRNAND instead of the card so none of the contents are showing up?

oh im an idiot it was the same system, do you have a backup, if not then there is nothing we can do

Reformat and check your SD card like this:

How would I do that?

I did backup the files, but whenever I try putting it on the new sd card, nothing happens. I'm gonna try putting it back on the old SD card

 

[Glyptofane]

How would I do that?

It was an optional step in the setup process and will boot into Luma from system memory if no card is inserted and maybe if Luma is simply not present on the card, but I'm unsure about that last part. I do know that when it boots this way, none of your digital games will show up.

EDIT: I got it to work again, I just had to put my backup back on my old SD card. I think the problem started b/c my new sd card was a sdxc and not a sdhc.

okay wow its not your fault but you should have told us it was an sdxc card
you have to format the sdxc card as fat32 because thats what the 3ds understands
for that you have to use guiformat

just a note, formatting erases everything, so make sure your backup is in a safe place

sdxc should work. I just checked and have one in my 3DS. Did you format it with gm9?

As stated above by @98otiss, guiformat is a great option as well.

@RocksRule21, you would be wise to check your newly purchased SD card with H2testw like the post I linked.

Sorry I didn't say that before, but I did say I formated it in fat32.
