Homebrew uh, I'm stuck on the ctrtransfer section.... I'm trying to follow the 3DS guide

https://3ds.guide/2.1.0-ctrtransfer

I'm stuck on that guide. Particularly the part that talks about what I will need for that particular guide. The three download links for the 2.1.0 ctrtransfers are down.

Uh, no, they're not down. You need a torrent program to download them. The guide mentioned this on the very first page.

i see... i've never used a torrent before...

I'm in the process of trying to hack my 2ds... I'll keep this thread bumped with my progress...

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

also, I'm a little confused, the guide seems to say I need to be connected to the internet while doing this step, but won't the 2DS force an automatic update? How can i prevent that?

When i did no auto update was force and nintendo can't do that xD
Also
"Never format a 2DS while on a version <6.0.0 or you will be unable to complete initial setup and will BRICK!"

where did I go wrong?

The FBI stuff won't load up...

It all seemed to be going smoothly,up until around Section III - Configuring Luma3DS of here: https://3ds.guide/installing-arm9loaderhax

1. Boot your device while holding (Select) to enter the Luma3DS configuration menu
   • Make sure to start holding the button before pressing power
   • If you get a black screen, follow this troubleshooting guide
   • If you boot to SafeA9LHInstaller, follow this troubleshooting guide
2. Use the (A) button and the D-Pad to turn on the following:
   • “Autoboot SysNAND”
   • “Use SysNAND FIRM if booting with R”
   • “Show NAND or user string in System Settings”
3. If you are using a New 3DS, you can also enable the following:
   • “New 3DS CPU” to “Clock+L2(x)”
   • This will increase the framerate of many games, but may cause instability in others
   • If some games do not work properly, disable this option and try again
   • This breaks the Homebrew Launcher on 11.3!
4. Press (Start) to save and reboot
   • If you get a black screen, just continue to the next section
   • If you get a “Failed to mount CTRNAND” error, just continue to the next section

After finishing this section, I pressed start to have it save and reboot. It didn't reboot though. It just stayed in a grayish dark screen until I had to turn it off.

Earlier in the guide, it kind of scared me into creating a nand backup before I followed a part of the guide that stressed repeatedly the importance of nand backups.
