Hacking Trying to replace the Gateway/rxTools CFW with Luma3DS! Help?

Yes non dev is correct. Dev stands for developer and has exclusive features meant for developing things! And yeah there is something wrong with your luma!

I confirm launching 5.5 instantly starts instead of black screen (on V6.0). WTH?

Ditch V6.0 shouldn't be anything wrong!

OK so it doesn't completely work. Only partially - because it never writes its config file.
Each time I launch it, it asks for settings.
When I press start, it does reboot to the main menu, which is supposed to mean redNAND, but when I go to settings I never get the "emu"... probably because Luma assumes I haven't asked for it (since settings were not saved).

EDIT: scratch that.
When I copy the empty luma/payloads from the installer, the HBL doesn't start anymore.

You can check your SD is OK using h2testw (do a read & write check).
I remember someone else having the same problem as you (the config file never saving) but I don't remember what the solution was
I think it was @blueyy (if this was you can you tell us what the solution was?)

Thanks for the link!
Actually, it turns out I goofed (I guess). With Luma3DS version 5.5 I needed to both:
- create the empty folders /sd/luma/payloads
- copy the firmware.bin into /sd/luma, as proposed by the threads above.

One more step forward. Thanks for your help!

Oh good, glad you solved it

Since I got good support,I'm going to try pushing my luck.
I'm still following the Plailect guide, part 5, section VI, step 20.
It's trying to make me re-inject hs.app (I'm not sure why since FBI has already replaced it?)
Problem:
1 - The guide didn't tell me to put that hs.app back in the SD card, so I doubt it could work. So I'm taking the initiative of copying back "hs.app"and "hs.enc" into the "file9" folder.
Note: I've already noted that, since we're told to use decryp9WIP, we auto-replace "decrypt9" with "file9" when we read the guide. No problem.
2 - When I try to inject as instructed, it doesn't let me choose my file but tries something automatic which fails:

Searching title "Health&Safety"...
Method 1: Search in title.db...
Found title 0004001000021300
TMD0 found at 1271C000, size 2868b
APP0 found at 12724000, size 832kB
No usable file found
Health&Safety Inject: failed!

Should I redo the whole FBI hs app thing? Or should I just ignore this step sinceit's already there anyway?

EDIT: I'm just going to ignore this step. I'm guessing the tutorial wanted to restore a non-FBI Health & Safety message. For my own safety. But I feel risky today!
