@Aurora Wright After doing the low level format and copying luma again, it still hangs on black screens after pressing star to save the config :/

Any clue? :(
Just download the latest stable release and make sure to place that arm9loaderhax.bin on your root, backup your old luma folder and delete it. Create a new luma folder with nothing in it and try and boot

I know this seems simple but it's either something in your luma folder or your arm9loaderhax.bin 100%

I already did that like 10 times.

If it worked before I have no clue... that's sysnand, right? can you do a backup and restore an earlier backup?

Yeah it is, I'll try to change my SD Card adapter and if it doesn't work then I'll have to do that, but the only backup that I have is one with 9.2 firm before installing A9LH

Yeah so something weird is going on then, just made you take those specific steps since it would remove literally every shred of user error possibility

Could you try the build below, checking "Enable dev. features"?

I also updated master from git and getting only blue led on my N3DS with config removed.
O3DS boots fine.

Edit: Nope. Copied the files to SD again and it works now. ;)

I don't see any new release for Luma? I'm on 5.4 and that is the latest one posted 13 days ago. I didn't update yet to 11.0 even though people have been saying it's safe. I don't have technical skills I have no idea what firmware.bin does or dynarac support. I just managed to follow the guide and that's it!
Luma pulls firmware file from NAND now, no need to provide it yourself.

Just put new Luma files on your sd, update your emunand in system settings and you're done.

More than 2 seconds?

It just hangs, It doesn't do anything more than crash and I can't move or modify anything until I keep the power button at least 10 secs to shut off the console.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I don't get what caused this, the only thing that I did was power off my console after playing, ejecting my SD card and replacing the arm9loaderhax.bin and the Luma folder, then I did put the SD again in my 3ds and here we are :/

Tbh it looks like your SD card is failing or write protected. Just try a different SD card
