Hi, sorry if this thread is a little bit confusing/vague, it's because it's been like 8 months I hacked my O3DS and I haven't started it up since I ran into these problems.
So I hacked my O3DS using Luma and B9S and it worked like a charm, I never had issues with it until one day, I used ftp on my android phone to transfer the backup of a game (which was Mario&Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser Minion) but when I transfered the Cia, an error popped saying, "there's an unsupported character in the file" (or something like so) "would you like to rename it" I clicked on yes and didn't get any prompt to rename, so I tried to boot on the 3DS but the blue led just flashed and turned back off, I heard that this is caused by the file boot.firm missing but it's not in my 3DS so when renaming, it probably deleted/replaced/renamed something it shouldn't, the only 2 ways I found to boot back on the 3DS is either to remove the SD card or to boot using GodMode9/3ds Recovery Mode. And I also experienced random crashes while playing games (ex: playing metroid samus returns, closing the 3DS for like 5 mins and when I open it up I see an error meaning it had crashed) and when it restarts, same issue again, the led blinks and nothing. What should I do? Delete everything except the Nintendo 3DS folder (which I suppose store games) and replace it with a fresh copy of Luma3DS/GodMode9? Since the issue is only coming from my SD card, is it safe to make a NAND backup now (like it's not going to be corrupted or something like that)? Oh yeah and I already deleted the Cia that caused the issue...
Thanks in advance for helping me out with this!
