So.

(step 1) - Take out the SD card and put it into your computer.

(step 2) - Go into the luma folder

(step 3) - Delete config.bin

And your complete! put the SD card back into your 3ds and your finished!

Maybe it would be better if you include full steps with pictures, but that's my two cents.

It's not complicated enough to warrant pictures. Come on, all you have to do is remove SD:/Luma/config.bin

I have luma 9.0 and I don't have this option when I old select

It's in the top row of options. Not the yes/no options, but the options that have multiple options.

Try deleting the entire Luma folder. Also try booting without the SD inserted. Do you have luma boot.firm in CTRNAND?

ok i deleted luma dir from root, when i tried rebooting luma came back without the password prompt, when i deleted it again without sd card, the system powered on for about a sec and went off

i didnt have any boot.firm in luma dirs , only bin files

[...]without sd card, the system powered on for about a sec and went off

Then your system isn't booting from nand for some reason, maybe you didn't copy Luma's boot.firm in the right place on the nand, maybe you're using a bootloader that doesn't support booting a payload from nand in the first place (don't think such a bootloader compatible with current Luma exists, but it certainly could be made)

Perhaps he's using fastboot3DS and forgot to setup CTRNAND booting?

ok got it working now, so i managed to setup ctrnand booting, this was skipped cos i wanted the system intentionally not to boot without sd card inserted for security reason. Copied luma's boot.firm [one from root of sd] to luma dir in ctrnand and along with the rest of the .bin files/folders from sd luma. After that, i just deleted the luma folder and boot.firm from root of sd card.

Tested, password prompt now pops up without sd card inserted and checked that the folder of luma and boot.firm are indeed removed from root of sd.

thx for advices here, much appreciated!

quick question after the above process is complete - when i need to update b9s/luma/3ds fw etc, is there anything i need to do differently as luma is in ctrnand now? thx

Replace the boot.firm in CTRNAND rather than the one in SD. Nothing else should be different.

Won't this harm luma ?

Huh? No.

As I said in the other thread: Luma3DS pin is just good enough for preventing a small child from doing nonsense with GodMode9. The other use is providing contact information on the "lock" screen in case the console gets lost.

Getting to the point that only ntrboot will bypass the pin requires a small adjustment to the B9S source code and recompiling it. I don't recommend doing this though as it is not particularly safe for the console.

 

[JackoTC]

yeah its pretty handy for that
