Luma3DS VS faketik

This looks like an error with Luma3DS. You’ll need to manually update Luma again. Make sure you’re following this tutorial: Luma3DS GitHub. I’ve had this error before and it was fairly easy to fix :)

Replace Luma files on your sd card, boot.firm and boot.3dsx. You can download them here.

I have an old 3DS XL thats has been modified, and i was about to start the process of updating the console to firmware 11.17.0, by updating Luma first so it does not brick. But the first thing i've seen when getting to the Luma github page is a reported issue saying that last release of Luma (Luma 13.0) makes their 3DSXL console not even starting the HOME menu. Is it save to upgrade to Luma 13 having an old XL? I only have GodMode9 and i was about to upgrade it to last version (v2.1.1) as well. Thanks!

First step, download the latest version of Luma 3DS ( just click on the .zip file, should be the top one when you scroll down ) , then extract it to the root of your SD card as explained by the guide

You could make sure you have sysnand by enabling "show NAND or user string in system settings" in luma settings. (Hold select on startup). More info here https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/wiki/Optional-features

Solution? Get any compatible, temporary SD card and put the latest Luma3DS files on it -- it's just two files! boot.3dsx and boot.firm

Download the latest version of luma3ds from here, extract the zip and copy boot.firm to your microsd card and see what happens. You should have version 12.1.

Faketik restores deleted tickets if they were somehow removed. https://github.com/ihaveamac/faketik/releases/tag/v1.1.2

https://3ds.hacks.guide/troubleshooting if you scroll down on this list it will tell you what to do. Replacing boot.firm file from freshly installed luma zip from that guide may fix it. If not, use 3ds.hacks.guide to try ctr transfer and don't forget to install faketik so you can restore your games and save data. https://github.com/ihaveamac/faketik

no, you just have to generate the missing tickets. I usually use faketik

Have ye tried running faketik yet?

Also, next time your apps go missing, youre supposed to run Faketik

1. If NONE of your games are showing up, first back up the contents of your SD card to your computer, then…Download, install, & run [Faketik](https://github.com/ihaveamac/faketik) 2. If you can’t launch the Homebrew app because it too is missing, open the “Health and Safety” app, from there press L+Down+Select to pop up the luma3ds menu, “Miscellaneous Options” → “Switch the hb. title to hblauncher_loader”, Return to home, close the “Health and Safety” app, then open it again. 3. If that doesn’t work, your SD card is likely corrupted. Copy everything off the card (if on Windows or Linux, use [Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier](https://www.roadkil.net/program.php?ProgramID=29)), format the card, test the empty card with [h2testw](https://3ds.hacks.guide/h2testw-(windows).html), and copy everything back if the test is okay. Sometimes that is enough to solve issues like this. 4. If that doesn’t work, setup a new card and put your backup onto it. 5. If that doens’t work, the contents of your backup are no good. Try an older backup if you have one. If not, [Follow the “Finalizing Setup” portion of the guide](https://3ds.hacks.guide/finalizing-setup.html)

put old SD card in new system & use faketik to get your games back.
