Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Rodrigo Mafra]

Hold select whole turning it back on. Of that doesn't work just delete the config file in the luma folder. Also get off the dev build, download the normal version from the github.

Boot with the select button pressed doesn't open the Luma configuration, the respective payloads are in the right places, none of them works....(before check the Developer features all was working fine, I was already playing The Minish Cap) Thanks for the help, tonight I'll try to delete the files you mention...
Thanks for the help....

Do you use a bootloader or bootanim9 or anything?

no nothing like that even installed agb twil cia that is describd here
have issues with GBA/DS/DSiWare games and I have installed a patched AGB/TWL FIRM cia in the past

There have been some reports of pre-patched AGB/TWL FIRMs interfering with Luma3DS' built-in patching. Follow these steps to restore the unpatched Nintendo FIRMs:

1. Get the NAND FIRMs package from here
2. From the package, copy O3DS AGB.cia and O3DS TWL.cia (if you have an Old 3DS), or N3DS AGB.cia and N3DS TWL.cia (if you have a New 3DS) to the SD card
3. Open your favorite cia installer (the guide has been tested successfully with FBI 2.1). If you don't have one, it's outside the scope of this guide, look on GBATemp to check how to get your first cia installed
4. Install the .cia files you copied in step 2
5. Luma3DS should now be functioning normally

has someone a clue how it can be fixed?

OK, as I said before I am with menuhax and have trouble loading my DS flashcard with Luma3DS. The flashcard is Supercard DSTWO (not the plus version), latest firmware.

The flashcard plays without problem with Reinand. With Luma3DS it gives black screen and freezes.

What I did up to now:

- Before Luma3DS : Playing DS Flashcard with Reinand and Cakes
- Installed Luma3DS: Luma3DS gives black screen and freezes, Reinand/Cakes play just Fine
- Updated Flashcard Firmware: Luma3DS black Screen and freezes, Reinand plays just Fine
- Changed the path of Luma3DS.dat (with and without "/"): Luma3DS black Screen and freezes, Reinand plays just Fine
- Downloaded and installed unpatched AGB and TWL Firmwares: Luma3DS black screen and freezes, Reinand plays just Fine
- Installed patched TWL firmware: Luma 3DS black screen and freezes, Reinand plays just Fine
- Installed TWL Slot-1 Launcher: Luma3DS gives black screen and freezes when I load the launcher, Reinand loads the launcher just fine
- Installed Whitelist v11264, Luma 3DS black screen and freezes, Reinand plays just Fine

- Installed again the unpatched TWL firmware, verified by getting error message on TWL Slot1 launcher: Luma3DS gives black screen and freezes when I try to load the DS flashcard, Reinand still plays it just Fine.

well i guess i can always restore my a9lh nand

 

[Aurora Wright]

If GBA/DSi fails it's one of three things
- FIRM is pre-patched
- It's an Old 3DS which was downgraded by GW at some point in time (and you forgot, maybe)
- "arm9loaderhax.bin" isn't Luma3DS.
Enough said

 

[LennartL]

ok i get that but when i did install N3DS AGB.cia and N3DS TWL.cia using fbi doesnt that affect my system nand even when using luma ?

I don't understand what you're saying. If you installed the unpatched FIRM cias on New 3DS and it fails, arm9loaderhax.bin on the root isn't Luma3DS.

Aurora Wright, do you have any hint regarding my case?

How can i fix black screen on GBA games downloaded from eshop ambassador games in this case the game start up can play a little while and then turn off console or back to home menu cames up with no reason and i installed N3DS AGB.cia and N3DS TWL.cia as you suggested on my n3ds.
do you have any clue how to fix this.

If the game starts Luma did its job. If you get crashes and reboots it's the game you're using, or you have hardware issues

Same "hints" as for the user above, please read the troubleshooting part of the wiki... Ah, and you can't change the path for the .dat. The .dat must be Luma3DS.dat on the root

 

[LennartL]

well the game in this case is wario land 4. that i have dowloaded from eshop as part of amassador program i have.

ok will try to remove it and redownload and is that has any effect

I would format the SD card as you might have a corrupted filesystem

 

[LennartL]

ok and then just copy back the files right ?

Yes

Well, I have followed all applicable instructions in the wiki and from what people suggested here. I posted a list a few posts above.

No matter what I did, always Luma3DS gives a black screen and freezes the system, and always Reinand or Cakes will play the DS flashcard.

From what I see it freezes exactly at the point were the 3DS loads the DS firmware (the point were the screens go off and then starts at DS mode).
