i have a 2ds that is on 2.1 and is getting frozen on the Arm9loader page after the URL, All files are in the right place. checked and double checked. I dont know what could be wrong (this isnt my 1st ds ive flashed but the 1st one that caused problems.
Frozen how? Are you sure it's not just the glitched screen? Which means that if you press select and wait ~20 seconds, then power the device off you should find that A9LH is installed.
With the glitched screen you won't see anything happen after you press Select as it is frozen. But it is still doing its thing. If you press Select, wait, then press another button and the 3DS shuts down, then it was successful.
Maybe post pictures of the contents of your SD card so we can see if you've made a mistake. Also, you'll want to test your SD card using H2testw to make sure it's not fake or corrupted.
sd card is fine as its the same card i use in all my flashes, I should have stopped when i noticed i was having issues navigating the Decrypt9 menus... it would go down/left when i just hit down.
I'm sorry but how do you think SD cards become corrupted? Just because it worked before, doesn't mean it can't be corrupted now. Lets say your PC breaks today, and you post about it on a forum .. Are you just gonna say "Well it worked fine yesterday so there's no way it can be broken!". If you're too lazy to check for errors with h2testw then so be it but if all else fails you should at least try it - doesn't hurt. Idk what your second issue with the d-pad is but I doubt it has anything to do with CFW or A9LH, and I'm even more doubtful that the d-pad error has any relation whatsoever to your current problem.
Just because i was at a point where i was ready to turn the 2ds into a 3ds i tried a new sd card, nope, same issue. i had an issued going the ctl transfer where you need to input the left,up,right,up, A section. It wouldnt let me press just left. If i hit LEFT the counter at the bottom would go to 20%, when i let go of LEFT it would drop to 0.
