Hacking old3DS Luma 6.6 to Luma 8.1

[Kubas_inko]

Yes I replaced them all. I also tried once to delete everything from my SD card (except Nintendo 3DS, DCIM) and following the guide.

Hmm. How the f*ck is that possible. That looks like it is loading from sysnand and your sd is not being recognised, but I think that there isnt way of installing a9lh to sysnand.
Try boot to luma config without sd card.

I have absolutely no idea. I'm trying to get my old3DS to 7.0.5 for over a week and I found nothing about it.
So do you have any ideas what I should do next ?

Try to boot to luma config without sd inserted.

 

[xehanort12]

It booted. So what now ?

 

[Kubas_inko]

( into luma config?)
And what version does luma have?

 

[xehanort12]

It booted to luma config?

Yes, like before it shows me Luma 6.6 Configuration

 

[Kubas_inko]

Ok then. Your 3ds does not recognise your sd. Problem solved sir. Try different sd and format it to fat32

 

[xehanort12]

Hmm thats strange. The SD should be alright because I can launch games from it and the homebrew always update the new applications when I put something new in the 3ds folder.

Then idk how a9lh works when saved on sysnand. Normaly it should boot from sd and if there is no sd, it should boot from sysnand. But here it boots from sysnand no matter what you put on SD.

Do you have an idea what I can do ?

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

Also I seriously dont know if A9LH is installed or not. How can I figure it out ?

Not yet. I had a9lh for only a month and I never know it could be saved to NAND chip.
now what we need, is acces godmode9
Actually, you can always update via supported flashcart.

EDIT:
Well, you can boot to godmode9 (then somehow update A9LH from you NAND, which I have no idea how to do it BTW) via homebrew launcher (at least some old builds). Try them

Okay I'll give it try

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

So I placed the GodMode.3dsx into my 3ds folder and launched GodMode9 via homebrew. The only thing what happens is that I got a red screen and send to homebrew again. So I think that didnt worked either

If you can boot to luma config/payloads, you have A9LH or B9S. Because you can boot to luma 6.6 (only supported by A9LH) config, without having SD card inserted (which I never know it is possible). So you have to have installed A9LH.

Okay good to know,

Well, that is the latest one that has .3dsx version. You can still try older versions (1.2.8 =>).

Here's something you can do. Go into FBI then SD and copy arm9loaderhax.bin, then into CTR-NAND and paste it over the one that is there. Also copy the luma folder and paste it inside CTR-NAND/rw

This will update the A9LH on the CTR NAND and also give you access to payloads.

 

[Kubas_inko]

@Quantumcat I totally forgot about FBI

 

[xehanort12]

@Quantumcat Ok I did it. What now ?

 

[Kubas_inko]

@Quantumcat Ok I did it. What now ?

boot to luma config and confirm, that you 3ds is on 7.0.5

 

[Quantumcat]

@Quantumcat Ok I did it. What now ?

Now you should be able to access the payloads that were in the luma folder you moved. You can do https://3ds.guide/a9lh-to-b9s

You may have to use FBI a few times to move the right files into the folder in CTR-NAND because of your faulty SD.
