Okay, I'll buy a new micro sd card (this time a sd hc card, instead of sd xc) from a store I trust.

Do I have to start all over again (from the beginning) with a new sd card ?
You just need the files from your old card, that's all. Everything you have already done is there (you moved files to SysNAND since it loads Luma without the card), so don't worry, just backup all the files from the SD card for now.

Btw, if you are using a micro SD card, did you only try with one adapter? It could just be the one you used is busted and the micro SD itself is fine...

Cool, I took your advice and backed up all the files.

Secondly, how can I boot into Luma with sd card only ?

The 3dsguide is great, I'd just love to know how to get into Luma solely with an sd card.

Oh and you also told me to try another adapter for my micro sd card.

I'll look for another adapter when I get home from work (night shifts sure are exhausting).

Luma default boots from the SD card, reason it's not working for you while it works without the SD card (in which case it boots from SysNAND). To boot Luma with an SD card, simply have the required files on it and it should work.

Okay, which required files do I need to enter Luma cfw solely with a micro sd card ?

What do you mean solely? There is literally no difference between having it on the SD card and SD card+SysNAND besides being able to use it without the SD card, nothing else. It's not worth it trying to undo the SysNAND modification now since you already have done it.

Okay, let's forget about trying to undo the SysNAND modification.

How can I boot into Luma cfw with my sd card again ?

Which required files are you talking about ?

I apologize for these numerous questions, I'd just love to boot into Luma again and use those apps, CIA's with a sd card.

If it turns out that my sd card or adapter is damaged/faulty, then I should just use a new one and copy/paste the back-up files, right ?

The required files are the ones listed in the guide. It tells you what to keep and what not to keep once done with all steps, so do it when you finish the guide. For now, leave all files as is.
