Hacking Soft Bricked N3DS XL

[TwistedBlizzard]

Hi All,

I'm sure I'm being a noob here but I cannot get my New 3DS XL to boot, no matter what I've tried.
This happened after using the Luma to CTRNand script in GM9.

When I press the power button, the blue power light comes on and fades out.

I have tried to boot the 3DS with and without the SD in but with no luck.

As always, any and all help is appreciated!

Edit: The 3DS is on B9S 1.0 (maybe 1.1, I honestly can't remember)

ok. Try luma 7.0.5, 7.1, 8.0, 8.1. If none of those works, you 3DS is not reading your SD correctly.

I shall give it a go. What are the absolute minimum files that I need on the SD to get the 3DS to boot?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I noticed that B9S version 1.2 or above was required for Luma 8 so I put Luma 7.1 on the SD and now the 3DS boots. I shall now update B9S and Luma to the latest versions, followed by the system version.

Absolute minimum is boot.firm

Sweet! Thanks very much for your help! I'm now copying all the files back across to the SD. There's some corruption to the game file directory names which I reckon I can fix manually.
