Section III - Configuring Luma3DS
STEP 3 says:

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
then i have to
  1. Boot your device while holding (Start) to launch the Luma3DS chainloader menu
This step doesn't work!
i'm always getting Failed to mount CTRNAND when i try to start when pressing start and power button.

How do i fix this :s , all files should be in correct folders!
Should i try to install hourglass9 and restore my SYSnand from a backup?

Make sure you copied arm9loaderhax.bin from the latest version of Luma3DS, which is currently v7.0.1: https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases/download/v7.0.1/Luma3DSv7.0.1.7z

You should also have the GodMode9 payload in sd:/luma/payloads : https://github.com/d0k3/GodMode9/releases/download/v1.0.7/GodMode9-20170324-202632.zip

Then, with the 3DS off, hold the Start button, and power on. If you still get the CTRNAND error, then for some reason Luma doesn't want to show the chainload menu, in which case you can proceed to Option B.

Option B: Rename GodMode9's payload to arm9loaderhax.bin and put that at the root of the SD card. This will start GodMode9 when you turn the 3DS on instead of Luma3DS. You'll need to restore the Luma3DS arm9loaderhax.bin once you're done.

EDIT: You may need to name it arm9loaderhax_si.bin for screen init if you get a blank screen using Option B.

Continue from where you left off in the guide, Section IV. It says to use GodMode9 to restore the ctrtransfer image that you saved previously.

If you saved a full NAND dump, you can use Hourglass9 instead. You'll need to make Hourglass9 the arm9loaderhax.bin file.

I would like to thank you for your support, i finaly managed to get a cfw on my 3ds :yay3ds:.
It really was a pain in the ass because the https://3ds.guide/ misses some important parts where things can go wrong. So for me it was a pain in the ass.
Anyway, glad i did it. Up to the next 3ds from my daugter :unsure:

What parts did it miss? It looks to me like you failed to copy the correct files to your SD.

I got the same error as darky2003.

@Quantumcat, we didn't make a mistake, there really was something wrong. I checked all steps thrice and still got black screen.

@GerbilSoft thank you very much for your support! I had to rename it to arm9loaderhax_si.bin and it worked!

But didn't you fix it after correcting the wrong files? You say it "left out important parts" what parts?

    I'm 52 years old and one of my jobs in life was marketing research. Im well aware. I've been online for around 30 years. Everyone and their grandmother already has my personal information. One more having my email address isn't ruining my life or even effecting me in any way whatsoever.

    Other windows stuff people complain about hypocritically too. Like "But but but Windows bundle junk apps!!!!" Yeah?? So do many Linux distributions. Dont like it? Use one without them. Same with windows. Either find a pre-made version without the bundled stuff, or very easily make your own installer with what you want and do not want.
