Hacking My old 3ds won't turn on

[Robertoh]

So, this was my first 3DS with a CFW, but it won't turn on. Only the blue light comes on but the screen remains off and the sounds too, i don't remember what i did on it lol, and everytime i turn it off appears a ARM11 with An exception occurred.

And without the SD Card it says "Failed to mount CTRNAND."

How long ago did you hack it? Try putting the latest Luma boot.firm on your SD card and see if that helps.

Maybe 2 years ago? I don't remember, i will try to update Luma thx

2 Years ago? you probably have A9LH.
put the boot.firm from release 7.1 on your SD Card
https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases
hold select while booting.
Or if you have not modified the boot.firm yet, just hold select then boot. upload a picture of what you see.

it doesn't work :C @PurplePuffin

"Failed to mount CTRNAND" means your SYSNAND containing your 3DS firmware is incomplete or damaged. To determine if repairs with CTRTransfer, SysNAND restore, and updates with Recovery Mode or System Settings is possible, check the presence of these files with GodMode9:

• 1:/dbs/ticket.db * (This one is optional, depending if you have legit purchases from Nintendo eShop)
  
• 1:/private/movable.sed
• 1/ro/sys/HWCAL0.DAt
• 1/ro/sys/HWCAL1.DAt
  
• 1:/rw/sys/LocalFriendCodeSeed_B
• 1:/rw/sys/SecureInfo_B (or SecureInfo_A)

release 7.1

This Release is for b9s. He needs the 7.0.5 release for a9lh.

Like the Others said you have probably a9lh. If yes and you can power on your 3ds, follow this guide here.

Tried but nothing

Would it be possible at this point to repair it with a DS flashcart to install B9S and do a CTR transfer?

 

[BaamAlex]

You can do a ctrtransfer without b9s or a9lh

Hey guys, i resolved with a CTRTransfer!
But my flashcart will not work, infinite black screen and doesn't say "Press power button", only black screen :c
