Hacking System Transfer from and to A9LH/Luma3DS fw11.0 (Plailect Setup)

[esmith13]

Hi all,

I could use some help with system transfers and an A9LH/Luma3DS setup...

I have a fw11.0 o3DS with A9LH/Luma3DS sysNAND (No EmuNAND/RedNAND) and a brand new, fw 11.0 n3DS with the same A9LH/Luma3DS sysNAND setup.

I stupidly started a system transfer before researching and after 8hrs it's about 40% complete step 1 of 6. the o3DS has a 64GB SD card with about 45GB used (ton of .cia installs). and the n3DS has a 64GB microSD. I told the system transfer utility to do the "low-capacity SD transfer" so it wasn't supposed to copy anything but saves and licenses to my understanding.

My questions are:

1) did it figure out it could do a full transfer and ignore my choice to do low-capacity transfer? (hence the 8+hrs wait so far)
2) is this transfer going to screw up the files on the n3DS SD card's root needed to boot A9LH/Luma3DS or the sysNAND itself? (I have a backup of them)
3) if the transfer completes and I tell it NOT to delete the SD card on the o3DS can I just pull the card, put in my PC and wipe the "Nintendo 3DS folder", leaving the root level files needed to keep A9LH/Luma3DS working?
4) if I HAVE to format the o3DS I should be OK since I injected FBI to Health and Safety as part of Plailect's Guide, right? Or is only TinyFormat OK and a system format as part of the transfer will screw me over?
5) If #4 is bad news can I not OK the format by forcing power off and just chainload into hourglass9 to restore sysNAND to the formatted/hacked/fw11.0 .bin backup I have?

I'm seriously feeling stupid here for starting this transfer and hope at least thru hourglass9 I can fix all this...

P.S.: At which of the 6 stages is the NNID unlinked from the old console? I'm so wishing I could just get out of this million-hour BS even if I lose all my data on both devices (I have .cia's and JKSV backups of my save games in a safe place)

As I read on a Reddit post about system transfers today, this mess takes forever since Nintendo's servers are just two potatoes and a crying IT guy...


Thanks in advance for any help. Sorry for the crazy long post...

I did a transfer from an A9LH system and all went well.

1. Don't know, Do you have a lot of other stuff on your SD card, like the cia files? It should be transferring everything except installed games.
2. It'll transfer everything, including Luma/A9LH/homebrew files, just put them back.
3. Yes
4. Yes, FBI will stay.
5. This won't be necessary.

You, sir - are my hero!
Thank you for the reply. I started this transfer at my job at 6:30am and I'm about to leave work now at 3:30pm and it's about 50% done. Since internet is required and I can now rest easy with your answer I will just leave them both on, plugged in and locked in my office until tomorrow morning to do their thing.

As for your answer to #1, I do not have any .cia files on my SD card. The .cia's were installed so my "Nintendo 3DS" folder is around 45GB but outside of that folder I have under 1GB of data... This is why i think it's doing a full transfer even though I told it not to... 9hrs in already and only about half way done...

Thanks again!

Pretty sure the transfer is done locally, it only connects to the internet at certain points to verify if it can do a system transfer, then the icon on the left changes to the local wireless one, which is orange-ish.

But yeah, keep them hooked up, and hopefully it's done by tomorrow morning.

wait a sec... would a system transfer between 2 A9LH systems not work or break something? Luma 3DS has firm0/firm1 write protection, so I am a bit unclear whether or not this will affect anything during an A9LH transfer with both parties being on A9LH CFW like I said a bit before.
