Hacking Updating Luma3DS? (Question on progressing with the 3DS Hacks Guide)

[blazingwolf]

So, I'm new to the whole 3DS CFW screen, I am using the 3ds hacks guide and have gotten pretty fair, now I'm on the updating Luma portion. My current System Firmware is 7.2.0-17U. It tells me to go into system settings to update but I see the version seems the same, there is no mention of Luma or anything else. When following the guide there was a section that to enable "Show NAND or user string in system settings", which I would assume would show something different to imply the CFW status.

Did I do something wrong? Do I have to do anything to boot into Luma 3DS, like hold a button or something? Since I ran the steps once I haven't gotten the black screen with the white text again, but I'm sure thats intentional. How can I make sure I am set to keep following these steps? 3DS XL Old.

If, when you hold Select on boot, you see the Luma config - you have B9S, and can just update. Go to System Settings -> Other Settings -> System Update and press A on it.

It shows something different, but it is not obvious. Originally, the system version read "Ver. 1.2.3-45U", and after one installs custom firmware correctly, it reads "Sys 1.2.3-45U." Go figure.
