Hacking Problem installing arm9loaderhax on N3DSXL

[sk8er000]

Hello everyone,

I'm sorry to write this for my first post but I'm really desperate, so please excuse me in advance.

I was following this guide: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Get-Started.
I've created arm9loaderhax.3dsx with the otp file taken from the 2.1 fw, restored the emunand and sysnand, renamed the EmuNAND_original.bin dump in NAND.bin, launched the HBL from the restored sysnand (9.2.0) and launched arm9loaderhax.
After a while the N3DSXL turns off like it was written on the guide, then I've prepared my microSD with cackes CFW following the same guide. The problem is that:
if I put my micro sd (formatted FAT32 with only one partition) and turn on the console, the blue led blinks and nothing else (if I try tu turn on the N3DSXL without microSD the led stays with black sreens).
I've done the same on a 2ds before and everything went good...

Any ideas to solve my problem?

Thank you very much in advance for any help

Check if arm9loaderhax installed correctly. Hold any one of the L, R, A, B, X, Y buttons while booting and check if anything happens.

You have the Arm9loaderhax.bin on your sdcard?

 

[sk8er000]

yes the Arm9loaderhax.bin is on the root of the sd card and if I try to press any of the suggested buttons at the boot nothing happens, the led still flash one time. I've also tried a different microsd but same behaviour

Put the microSD back in your computer and double check all the files are in the correct folders.

I've checked a hundred of times unfortunately , this is the content of my sd card

Did you format your SD card with Emunand9?
EDIT. whoops obviously...

Try to use ctrbootmanager9. You could just have cakes not set up right. See if that boots up.

Edit- It seems like you have everything setup on your sd card correctly. But i still suggest to see if your 3ds boots up with the arm9loaderhax.bin from ctrbootmananger9

just tried the one at this link : https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-ctrbootmanager9.417159/

but same behaviour

You have the .bin and the a9lh.cfg on your sd card? It its not responding to that, then you either had a bad compiled arm9loaderhax.3dsx or some how it bricked...

I could be wrong about the brick, but if it isnt bricked, im not sure what happened to it.

 

[sk8er000]

yes I've put the .bin and a9lh.cfg from the link below.. I'm beginning to think that the console is brickerd

Seems to be a brick then. Either the emunand dump wasn't clean or the installer didn't patch it properly (very unlikely)

If your compiled version of arm9loaderhax has not the right otp.bin you bricked anyway. Maybe you forgot to recompile it and you used the armloaderhax.3dsx from the other console.

Well theres always hardmods. You have the emunand backups from the beginning of the amr9 tut right?

 

[sk8er000]

yes I've got several nand backups

 

[Lumince]

yes I've got several nand backups

Thats good. If nothing works at all, then I would look into a hardmod.

use the test first to check if your 3ds still works if it does you just have something set up wrong

Sorry for the late answer but I was out this weekend, I'm going to send the console to a friend that has the reader for the hard mod..I'll let you know if the console comes back to life

 

[sk8er000]

My friend (@zeruel85 in this forum) has done the hw mod and rewrited one of the nand dump, the console is back to life!
