Hacking Nintendo 2ds xl CFW / SD card formatted.

[Tbkguru]

Hello all!

I am unfortunate to come across a problem i wish i never caused!

I recently formatted the sd card that i used to cfw my 2ds xl, not knowing that this would affect it.

i boot up my 2ds xl to get the arm11 error on boot, usually i would just update luma 3ds because my sd card was setup for it , however because the sd card is formatted and i have to reset the cfw to re install it i don't kknow how to get it back to a working state, modded or vanilla i just want to get my device working again. thanks!

Put the latest Luma boot files on the SD card: https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases

If you want to have the system working without an SD card as well, install godmode9 on the SD card: https://3ds.hacks.guide/godmode9-usage (section Updating Godmode9)
Then follow this guide: https://3ds.hacks.guide/finalizing-setup#section-vi---ctrnand-luma3ds (Section VI - CTRNAND Luma3DS)

Hello Hello! Thank you for replying to my thread so quickly, is it only the 2 Luma 3ds files i require on my sd card in order to boot to the home menu?

 

[IC]

Yes, it should work with just those two files.

Hello sorry to bother again! it appears that method you provided is still providing me with an error on boot, any other possible fixes?

Could you show a picture of the error? What do you see if you turn on the system while holding Select?

Unfortunately i cant send an image cause I'm a new member.

here is a 'lookalike of my screen'

An exception occurred

Processor: Arm11 (core 1)
Exception type: undefined instruction
Current process: pm (000000000000000)

then the normal crash dump and that

on boot i get the standard luma 3ds 10.2 config.

It seems like the 3DS is not actually booting Luma from the SD card (it should say that at the bottom of the Luma config screen), is your SD card formatted in FAT32?
