Hi there,
first of all, yes, I'm using THE guide (https://3ds.guide/a9lh-to-b9s).
Unfortunately I'm having some weird trouble... I completely followed "Section I" and I double-, triple- and quadruple-checked that I got all my files right. Still the chainloader just won't work causing me to get stuck at the very first step of "Section II".
My Luma version is 6.6 and despite having "start_SafeB9SInstaller.bin" in "/luma/payloads/" it will simply boot straightforward into my SysNAND.
I tried different buttons like "x_..." but it didn't change anything. I downloaded a A9LH compatible .bin version of Godmode9 but even that wouldn't boot.
I even renamed "start_SafeB9SInstaller.bin" into "arm9loaderhax.bin" and placed it on root but my 3DS still booted the home menu like it didn't care.
I updated Luma 6.6 to 7.05 (manually swapping "arm9loaderhax.bin") and held Select while booting... it still showed version 6.6! (And would still boot the home menu without caring for payloads)
So, I'm wondering... Back in the day I used 3ds.guide to install A9LH. Didn't the guide tell us to copy the Luma files into NAND? Does that mean that I have to place the SafeB9SInstaller payload in NAND as well? Or that I have to delete Luma from NAND?
I tried to boot GodMode9 v1.2.1 via Homebrew Launcher (1.2.1 was the last HBL compatible version) but instead of booting GodMode it just reloaded the Homebrew Launcher. Maybe I should try an even older version...
However, before I continue I decided to post my progress and ask if anyone else has an idea what I got wrong? I followed the guide very carefully but it seems my Luma installation is acting weird and preventing any progress.
(Phew..., it was easier to update my other 3DS from MenuHax to B9S!)
