Hacking Possible brick?

[damingraham]

So my son accidentally did an update because a game refused to play not it just boots to this screen.

I put the most recent luma 3ds files on the root of the micro sd card but it doesnt load it


I am sure its something small but what am i missing or is the sd card slot in the 3dsxl not working?

Not a brick. Make sure sd card is formatted correctly. FAT32 32kb clusters. make sure to backup your data before. and put the boot.firm on sd root. if it still dont work and says booted from ctrnand. then get another sd card if ya got one and use that.

If this would be the case, you wouldn't see the luma config menu
Download the latest luma release, and put the boot.firm to the root of your sd card.

Not true, it's loaded from CTRNAND, which is an indication the SD card is not working.

It could load fine in your PC, but not on your 3DS. It's not the problem of card itself either so You don't have to change the card.

Various details in how you formatted your SD card could affect the compatibility with your 3DS, and there were some guides which formats the SD card 3 times using different tools to ensure that it works with 3DS. I'll try to find it.

also, If it worked well previously but stopped working after the update, maybe problem could've been caused by another reason?

Yea it was working fine for years before this. All i know is he updated a game (or system fw) because a game didnt wanna play or something now all i get is those screens with or without a card inserted

ive seen problems with one card to another. Its suggested to try another one to see if its a bad card or the 3ds slot reader.

And don't forget the adequate format for any 3DS console SD card.
