lumaupdate VS faketik

ive replaced with files from this and this idk if there’s something im missing but it still does the same thing

Development on Luma Updater has stopped, according to the beginning of its "Read Me" file. People should uninstall it.

You can manually update it, though there really isn't a reason to.

I don't know, I don't use it. I feel like it could be something to do with the GitHub APIs but I'm not really sure. Maybe try checking out the GitHub for more information, although you should have at least a little bit of experience with 3DS development.

You can also download the app Luma Updater, install the cia with FBI and update Luma from there: https://github.com/KunoichiZ/lumaupdate/releases/latest

I downloaded the zip file from here However after extracting that zip file, there are only 2 files. lumaupdater.3dsx and lumaupdater.smdh. Do I just drag both files into the root of the SD card?

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.
