## Seedminer

{% capture compat %}
<summary><u>Multiple long folder names in Nintendo 3DS folder</u></summary>

![]({{ "/images/screenshots/multiple-id0.png" | absolute_url }})
{: .notice--info}

This occurs when you use your SD card in multiple 3DS devices and is intended to prevent inadvertently merging data that would not be valid on other devices. To figure out which long folder name is correct for your 3DS, follow these instructions:

1. Rename the `Nintendo 3DS` folder to `BACKUP_Nintendo 3DS`
1. Reinsert your SD card into your device and power on your device
1. Wait for the device to generate the SD card data
	+ Your applications will have disappeared. This is normal and will be resolved shortly
1. Power off your device and reinsert your SD card into your computer
1. Ve a la carpeta `Nintendo 3DS` en tu tarjeta SD
1. Copy the 32 character long name of the folder you see
	+ This is your true ID0 that you will use in [Section II of Seedminer](seedminer#section-ii---seedminer)
1. Delete the `Nintendo 3DS` folder
1. Rename the `BACKUP_Nintendo 3DS` folder to `Nintendo 3DS`

## BannerBomb3

{% capture compat %}
<summary><u>Multiple ID1 folders inside of ID0</u></summary>

![]({{ "/images/screenshots/multiple-id1.png" | absolute_url }})

This can occur if you've used multiple SD cards on a 3DS and then merged the contents of the SD cards together. This is done to prevent conflicting, valid data from being merged together.

To fix this, you will need to determine which folder contains your data. Usually, this will be the larger (or largest) of the folders. Backup and delete the smaller one(s), then create a `Nintendo DSiWare` folder in the one that remains and move `F00D43D5.bin` to that location.

{% endcapture %}
<details>{{ compat | markdownify }}</details>

{% capture compat %}
<summary><u>DSiWare Management menu crashes without showing BB3 multihax menu</u></summary>
Ensure that `F00D43D5.bin` is the only file in `Nintendo 3DS` -> `<ID0>` -> `<ID1>` -> `Nintendo DSiWare`. If it is, then re-create it with the [Bannerbomb3 Injector](http://3dstools.nhnarwhal.com/#/bb3gen). 

Also, ensure that `bb3.bin` is on the root of the SD card. If it is missing, then download the latest release of [Bannerbomb3](https://github.com/lifehackerhansol/Bannerbomb3/releases/download/v3.0-lhs1/bb3.bin) (direct download), and copy the `bb3.bin` file to the root of your SD card.

If neither of these solutions fixes this problem, then custom firmware may have been uninstalled on this device in a way that makes this method impossible to perform. If this is the case, join [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp) and ask, in English, for help.

<summary><u>DSiWare Management shows a question mark</u></summary>

Follow these steps in order:

1. Launch the System Settings application
1. Navigate to `Internet Settings` -> `Connection Settings`
1. Click on your network connection slot and navigate to `Change Settings` -> `Next Page (right arrow)` -> `Proxy Settings`
1. Set "Proxy Settings" to "No"
1. Click OK, then click Save
1. When prompted, click "Test" to perform the connection test
  + The test should succeed
1. Click "OK" to continue
1. Press "Back" twice, then "Close" to go back to the HOME Menu
1. Open the Internet Browser once
1. If prompted about a system update, press OK
  + This won't actually update the system
1. Start again from [Section II](installing-boot9strap-(ssloth-browser).html#section-ii---ssloth)
{% endcapture %}
<details>{{ compat | markdownify }}</details>

{% capture compat %}
<summary><u>"To use the Internet Browser, please update your system using the System Update option in the System Settings."</u></summary>

First, make sure you entered the correct proxy for the connection you're using. If not, go back to [Section II](installing-boot9strap-(ssloth-browser).html#section-ii---ssloth). If the proxy is correct, then your device has been cart-updated, which means an alternate exploit will need to be used.

<u>Method 1</u><br>
If the two numbers before the region in the system version string is equal to or less than 36 (e.g. Ver. 11.14.0-**36**U), you can follow [Soundhax](installing-boot9strap-(soundhax)). When prompted to select a firmware to generate the sound file, use:

* 1.x - 2.1 if the number is between 0 and 2
* 2.1 - 2.2 if the number is between 3 and 4
* 3.x - 4.x if the number is between 5 and 10
* 5.x - 11.3 if the number is between 11 and 36

<u>Method 2 (Old 3DS only)</u><br>
If you have an Old 3DS / Old 3DS XL / 2DS, you can try a Safe Mode update, which will trigger an alternate exploit:

1. Ensure that the proxy that you used for SSLoth is still actively applied to your internet connection
1. With your device powered off, hold the following buttons: (Left Shoulder) + (Right Shoulder) + (D-Pad Up) + (A), and while holding these buttons together, power on your device
  + Keep holding the buttons until the device boots into Safe Mode (a "system update" menu)
1. Press "OK" to accept the update
1. If everything worked correctly, the update will fail and the 3DS will boot into SafeB9SInstaller. If it did, then continue from [Section IV](installing-boot9strap-(ssloth-browser)#section-iv---installing-boot9strap).

---

If these methods didn't work (or do not apply to you), update your device to the latest version and follow [Seedminer](seedminer).

## Boot issues on devices with custom firmware

Los pasos detallados a continuación asumen que tu consola tiene un setup moderno de custom firmware (boot9strap + Luma3DS 8.0 o superior). Si tu consola tiene una configuración antigua (por ejemplo, algo basado en arm9loaderhax o menuhax), deberías actualizar dicha configuración antes de seguir estas instrucciones.

### Power/notification light indicators

{% capture compat %}
<summary><u>My device powers off when I try to turn it on, and/or the notification LED shows a color on boot</u></summary>

There is an issue with your `boot.firm` file. If you're running [boot9strap 1.4](https://github.com/SciresM/boot9strap/releases/tag/1.4), your 3DS notification LED may flash a certain color. This color is used to diagnose issues involving your `boot.firm` file on SD card or internal memory. On older versions of boot9strap, the blue light will power off almost immediately when trying to turn on the device.

If the notification LED flashes:

- **White**: Your 3DS was not able to find `boot.firm` on your SD card or on internal memory.
- **Magenta**: Your 3DS was not able to find `boot.firm` on your SD card. It was able to find `boot.firm` on internal memory, but the file is corrupted.
- **Red**: Your 3DS was able to find `boot.firm` on both your SD card and on internal memory, but both files are corrupted.

You can get a new `boot.firm` file by downloading the [latest release of Luma3DS](https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest), extracting it, and placing `boot.firm` on the root of your SD card. If your `boot.firm` file is consistently being detected as corrupted, you may want to check your SD card for errors ([Windows](h2testw-(windows)), [Linux](f3-(linux)), or [macOS](f3xswift-(mac))). Also, note that the 3DS tends to have issues with files extracted using WinRAR.

Si escuchas un "pop", potencialmente acompañado de la luz de la pantalla parpadeando un segundo, hay un problema en el hardware de tu consola (cable de luz de fondo desconectado, por ejemplo). Es posible que tu consola encienda sosteniéndola en distintas orientaciones.

<summary><u>My device gets stuck on a black screen with blue power light staying on</u></summary>

Los pasos siguientes se pueden intentar en cualquier orden, pero están ordenados por cantidad de tiempo que toma realizar.

1. Power off your device, remove the SD card, re-insert it, then power on your device.
1. Apaga tu consola, saca el cartucho si tiene uno puesto, enciende la consola y luego espera hasta diez minutos. Si la consola enciende en los siguientes diez minutos, el problema fue resuelto y es muy improbable que vuelva a ocurrir
1. Cambia el nombre de la carpeta `Nintendo 3DS` de tu tarjeta SD a `Nintendo 3DS_BACKUP`, luego intenta encenderla. Si la consola enciende sin problemas, hay un problema con tu carpeta `Nintendo 3DS`. Try clearing HOME Menu extdata:
	+ Ve a `/Nintendo 3DS/<ID0>/<ID1>/extdata/00000000/`
  + Delete the corresponding folder for your 3DS region: 
		+ **Región EUR**: `00000098`
		+ **Región JPN**: `00000082`
		+ **Región USA**: `0000008f`
		+ **Región CHN**: `000000A1`
		+ **Región KOR**: `000000A9`
		+ **Región TWN**: `000000B1`
1. Intenta iniciar en modo de recuperación y actualizar tu consola:
	+ Apaga tu consola
	+ Mantén presionado (L) + (R) + (D-Pad Arriba) + (A)
	+ Enciende tu consola
	+ Si lo has hecho correctamente, la consola mostrará una pantalla para "actualizar tu sistema"
1. Sigue la guía de [CTRTransfer](ctrtransfer)

### Error message on boot

{% capture compat %}
<summary><u>"An error has occurred: Failed to apply 1 FIRM patch(es)" or "An exception has occurred -- Current process: pm"</u></summary>

Tu versión de Luma3DS está desactualizada. Descarga la última versión de [Luma3DS](https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest) y coloca `boot.firm` en la raíz de tu tarjeta SD, reemplazando cualquier archivo existente. Asegúrate de extraer el archivo ZIP con cualquier herramienta que no sea WinRAR, ya que se sabe que causa problemas con los archivos relacionados con 3DS.
{% endcapture %}
<details>{{ compat | markdownify }}</details>

{% capture compat %}
<summary><u>"Unable to mount CTRNAND or load the CTRNAND FIRM. Please use an external one."</u></summary>
There are a number of reasons as to why this could be happening. In any case, this error can usually be fixed by following the [CTRTransfer](ctrtransfer) guide.
{% endcapture %}
<details>{{ compat | markdownify }}</details>

{% capture compat %}
<summary><u>"An error has occurred. Hold down the POWER button to turn off the power..."</u></summary>

Tienes activada la opción "Disable ARM11 exception handlers", o directamente no tienes custom firmware instalado. Intenta activar las excepciones de ARM11:
  + Apaga tu consola
  + Mantén presionado (Select)
  + Enciende la consola mientras mantienes presionado (Select)
  + Si la opción "Disable ARM11 exception handlers" está marcada, desmárcala
{% endcapture %}
<details>{{ compat | markdownify }}</details>

{% capture compat %}
<summary><u>HOME Menu is missing installed applications</u></summary>

This could be caused by various reasons, but most likely because your SD card is not being read by the system.
You can check if your SD is being read by holding SELECT on boot and checking the yellow text on the bottom screen; if it says "Booted from CTRNAND via B9S", then your device is booting from the internal memory and not from the SD card.
If this is the case, attempt the steps below, which are listed from easiest to hardest:
1. Power off your device, remove the SD card, re-insert it, then power on your device
1. Power off your device, remove the SD card, insert it on your PC, download the latest release of [Luma3DS](https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest), extract `boot.firm` from the `Luma3DS.zip` and place it on the root of your SD card (replacing any existing file)
1. Power off your device, remove the SD card, insert it on your PC and reformat your SD card according to your computer's operating system: [Windows](formatting-sd-(windows)), [macOS](formatting-sd-(mac)), [Linux](formatting-sd-(linux)) *(this will wipe your SD card data)*
1. Test your SD card for errors by following the guide according to your computer's operating system: [Windows](h2testw-(windows)), [Linux](f3-(linux)), [macOS](f3xswift-(mac)). If your SD card is marked as faulty, then you will have to replace your SD card
1. Your SD card slot may be broken. Join [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp) for further assistance
