A few weeks ago the original MicroSD used for my 3DS ended up dying, it was pretty old for a micro so I just went about getting a new one. I had backed up the SD, so that wasn't a problem. I've gotten a new MicroSD and moved all of the original files to it but my 3DS won't boot; the blue light slowly pulses on and off once. Any known solutions to this or have I hard bricked my console?

[EDIT]
Problem is solved, I had simply forgotten to format my new MicroSD to FAT32 prior to using it.

I have ensured that the arm9loaderhax.bin file is there, as is Luma.
That's strange tbh. It might be a long shot, but maybe try giving the sd card a cleaning with some rubbing alcohol on the contacts. Basically if your 3ds was working fine before you swapped the sd cards, you shouldn't have a brick.
I wish I could be more helpful, but I haven't used a9lh in quite some time.

I will make sure to do so. Thank you for at least trying to help me out, I appreciate it.

It sounds like the card isn't FAT32 formatted.

    did you always have a ps4 you never updated
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    or were you able to get new ps4 tracking it \
    as soon as the hack was announced
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    or did you have to find a used one with the lower firm ware that was not updated
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I got this ps4 at launch and never updated since 9.0
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You got a good chance of buying a used one and asking the seller how often they used or even ask for a Pic of fw and telling them not to update
