Had this new 3ds for a while but never used it cause it needed a battery replacement. So i recently ordered the battery and got it onto the n3ds, seems to work well, started up normally without issues, still have to test the battery life to see if the battery is any good or not.
Well i tried to change the micro sd card inside for the one i use on my regular 3ds (the 3ds ive been always using), but i got this screen when turning it up, what should i do?

If you're changing sd card you need to move all the files over as well, you can't just switch the card

that is the luma configuration screen. it means your system is modded

Booted from SD via FIRMO
Since your 3ds is hacked you need to move your files following the guide from the link I sent you. Once you are done tell me
safe vessel
Im sorry, im a bit confused, from where to where should i transfer the files?
You mean transfering the files of the original sd card of the n3ds on the sd card i just inserted?
sonic temple

Y...
Just to clarify, you can't switch the sd card you choose to use for your n3ds you need to pick one
If you want to use the sd card you usually use for your other 3ds, you need to transfer the files from the sd card you used to use for your n3ds to the one you now want to use
sonic temple
Im sorry, im a bit confused, from where to where should i transfer the files?
Y...
So transferring files between sd cards
Why do you want to swap sd cards?
safe vessel
Sorry, i get confused quite easily with how we are wording it, lets keep it simple
Sd card from the old 3ds (the one i always used) = sd card 1
Sd card that came with the new 3ds = sd card 2
And the reason i swapped the sd cards was to keep my things from the old 3ds on this new 3ds, if the new 3ds works fine with the new battery ill keep it, and give the old 3ds to my brother
sonic temple

What things do you want to keep?
safe vessel
Mostly Game data if i have any, most of the games i play usually keep the progress on their own cartridge anyways, but just in case

Game data from digital games is encrypted, you won't be able to use it by putting sd card 1 into your n3ds
The game data only works on your o3ds
safe vessel
Oh no, i only have physical copies xd
sonic temple
Oh
safe vessel
But still, just wanted to make sure
sonic temple
Yeah the game data is in the cartridge
If you want to be 100% sure you can check after you sort out the n3ds
So is this your first time using the n3ds
safe vessel
Not really the first, when i got it it had a battery replacement that only lasted like what, 10 minutes?, idk, its been a long while since ive tried using it, but heard that batteries from Cammeron sino are really good so, i just got the one i ordered for the new 3ds
Up to this point only had used the old 3ds and nothing more
safe vessel
Oh yeah, just in case i copied the files of the SD card 1 from my old 3ds on my PC
sonic temple
Is sd card 2 new?
safe vessel
Hmmm, no, its the one that came with the console itself
sonic temple
Can you put sd card 2 into your pc and show me what files there are
Just the files that are immediately visible, not what's inside any of them
safe vessel
Oh sure
Give me a moment
should i give screenshots of everything inside each file or?
sonic temple
Just inside the luma folder
safe vessel
safe vessel
Huh, alright, so just in case to clarify
Cant change sd cards unless i want to go for a full clean one to use, right?
sonic temple
Tell me when you've done step 3
sonic temple
Huh, alright, so just in case to clarify
Cant change sd cards unless i want to ...
Yeah
Stop after step 3
sonic temple
Put the sd card in your 3ds and press the power button while holding start
Are you getting the same screen as before? You should be
safe vessel
just to be sure, the zip file came with the config file, the step doesnt specify it but just in case, should i leave it there?
safe vessel
alright
nop, held the start button and then pressed the power botton, it started up normally
without the screen
sonic temple
Into the home menu?
safe vessel
yep
sonic temple
nop, held the start button and then pressed the power botton, it started up norm...
Were you still holding start as you pressed the power button?
safe vessel
pretty much
sonic temple
Can you turn it off and do it one more time, just to make sure
It should've shown the luma menu
Let go of start after pressing the power button
safe vessel
just holding down select or letting it go after pressing power?
sonic temple
It should've shown the luma menu
It would have shown a different menu but you need to do something first
sonic temple
just holding down select or letting it go after pressing power?
Let go after pressing power
safe vessel
oh, now it appeared
sonic temple
What does the yellow text say
safe vessel
sames as with the SD card 1, Booted from SD via FIRM0
sonic temple
Okay finish the guide you were doing
safe vessel
I assume in this case i should just keep the same sd card that came with the n3ds instead of switching it with the one from the old 3ds right?
sonic temple

Yes
sonic temple
since i only have physical games, not much is lost
If there's anything like photos that you want, you can get those later
safe vessel
nah, not really
now that i think about it tho, since i mostly play with physical copies, in what can i use the extra storage for?
besides photos
sonic temple

Homebrew games, if you want them
Since your 3ds is hacked you can play those
You can also have multiple save files for your games
safe vessel
yeah makes sense, might as well still try to get myself another sd card for the n3ds, since its a 16gb one
safe vessel
You can also have multiple save files for your games
holy shit really :0 thats dope
sonic temple

Cool, you'd still need to finish the guide I sent and do some other stuff with sd card 2 before that
Tell me when you finish it
safe vessel
stumbled upon a small roadblock, guide says
Copy SafeB9SInstaller.firm from the SafeB9SInstaller .zip to the /luma/payloads/ folder on your SD card
i dont have a payloads file in the luma file, should i just make one?
sonic temple
Yes
safe vessel
it only says to leave the SafeB9SInstaller.firm in it, but the zip itself comes with more files, should i just dump them all in there?
sonic temple
One second
safe vessel
for the record this is all that came with the zip
sonic temple
it only says to leave the SafeB9SInstaller.firm in it, but the zip itself comes ...
No just the .firm file
safe vessel
alright, all done, just need to try it out on the console
should i go inmediatly for the luma menu?
oh wait, no, nevermind, just read the rest
alright, it installed the boot9strap, and afterwards, it led me to the luma menu
now the yellow text says Boored from SD via B9S
sonic temple
alright, it installed the boot9strap, and afterwards, it led me to the luma menu
Did you hold start or select
safe vessel
held start to install the boot9strap and did the button sequence it told me to follow
pressed a to reboot the device and it led me to the luma menu
sonic temple
now the yellow text says Boored from SD via B9S
That's good
sonic temple
Go down on the menu using the D pad and press a on "save and exit"
safe vessel
done, led me to the home menu
and turning it on again with only power button leds me to home menu as normal
sonic temple
Yeah it did that because you replaced the battery
safe vessel
wait really?, changing the battery has an effect on the instalation of sorts?
sonic temple
wait really?, changing the battery has an effect on the instalation of sorts?
Not much, it just makes the luma config menu come up when you first turn it back on
It also resets the clock
Follow this guide
safe vessel
alright, going with it
also, thanks for the help my guy, wasnt expecting to be doing this stuff at 3:30 am
sonic temple
You're welcome
safe vessel
crap is asking me for internet connection
sonic temple

safe vessel

ill have to ask tomorrow morning about the password xd
sonic temple
Cool, whenever you finish the guide you should be done
safe vessel

still, thanks my g
just to be sure, at this point, it shouldnt be a problem if i play games on it and change the date and whatnot?
sonic temple

Yeah that's all fine
safe vessel

sonic temple
But I would rather you leave it until after you finish the guide
It should be fine but you haven't made any backups yet
safe vessel

sonic temple
