5. Press (Up) once to change the name to `10000000`
## <a name="gw_fbi" />Cannot inject H&S on Gateway downgraded device
This is caused by Gateway implementing a very shoddy downgrade method, which leaves two versions of each app on the system. One of them is unused, but it confuses Decrypt9, causing it to inject into the wrong one.
1. Copy `GodMode9.bin` from the GodMode9 `.zip` to the `/luma/payloads/` folder on your SD card and rename `GodMode9.bin` in `/luma/payloads/` to `up_GodMode9.bin`
2. Reinsert your SD card into your 3DS
3. Open GodMode9 from arm9loaderhax by holding (Up) during boot
4. Navigate to `SYSNAND CTRNAND` -> `title` -> `00040010`
5. Navigate to the folder for your device and region:
+ **Old 3DS EUR**: `00022300` -> `content`
+ **Old 3DS JPN**: `00020300` -> `content`
+ **Old 3DS EUA**: `00021300` -> `content`
+ **New 3DS EUR**: `20022300` -> `content`
+ **New 3DS JPN**: `20020300` -> `content`
+ **New 3DS EUA**: `20021300` -> `content`
6. Notice that there are two sets of app and tmd files, one set with uppercase extensions (`.TMD` and `.APP`), and one set with lowercase extensions (`.tmd` and `.app`)
7. While holding the (R) trigger, press (Y) to create a new directory
8. Press (A) to confirm the name `newdir` (it doesn't matter what it's called)
10. Press the (L) trigger on each of the uppercase extension files (`.TMD` and `.APP`) to mark them
11. Press (Y) to copy the files
12. Navigate to `newdir`
13. Press (Y) to paste the files
14. Select "Move path(s)"
15. The uppercase extension files will have been moved to the `newdir` directory
16. Press (Start) to reboot
17. Retorne para [Instalando arm9loaderhax](installing-arm9loaderhax) e tente novamente a injeção do FBI
18. Se ainda assim não funcionar, mova os arquivos de extensão em maiúsculo de volta para a pasta `content`, então mova os arquivos de extensão em minúsculo para a pasta `newdir`, retorne para [Instalando arm9loaderhax](installing-arm9loaderhax) e tente novamente a injeção do FBI
## <a name="ts_browser" />A browser based exploit is not working
Browser based exploits (such as browserhax or 2xrsa) are often unstable and crash frequently, but they can sometimes be fixed by doing the following steps
1. Open the browser, then open the browser settings
2. Desça até o final e use o `Deletar dados salvos`
You copied the wrong `arm9loaderhax.bin` file to your SD card (you were only supposed to copy the `3ds` folder and `SafeA9LHInstaller.dat` file from the SafeA9LHInstaller zip)
1. Use the correct `arm9loaderhax.bin`
2. Copy `arm9loaderhax.bin` from the Luma3DS `.zip` to the root of your SD card
3. Reboot holding (Select) and continue
## <a name="ts_safe_a9lh_screen" />SafeA9LHInstaller shows a glitched screen
This happens occasionally, but the reason is unknown. The buttons will still work, but the screen will be glitched looking
1. Follow instructions as normal
2. Press (Select) and arm9loaderhax will be installed
3. Wait a few seconds
4. Shut down your console by pressing any button
## <a name="ts_d9_backup" />Decrypt9 or Hourglass9 won't restore / can't find my NAND backup
1. Make sure you do not have any folder named "Decrypt9" on **the root** of your SD card
2. Tente verificar se seu cartão SD possui erros utilizando [H2testw (Windows)](h2testw-(windows)), [F3 (Linux)](f3-(linux)), ou [F3X (Mac)](f3x-(mac))
3. Try backing up your SD card files, then formatting it and copying them back
4. Try a different SD card
## <a name="ts_sys_down" />Black screen on SysNAND boot
1. Try booting with your SD card out, and then reinserting it after booting.
1. Power off your 3DS by holding down the power button.
2. Take out the SD card.
3. Power on the 3DS.
4. When the home menu appears, reinsert your SD card.
5. Se isso funcionou, você deve apagar os dados externos do Menu HOME navegando para a seguinte pasta no seu cartão SD: `/Nintendo 3DS/(ID de 32 Caracteres)/(ID de 32 Caracteres)/extdata/00000000/`
+ Região EUR: apague `00000098`
+ Região JPN: apague `00000082`
+ Região EUA: apague `0000008f`
+ Região KOR: apague `000000A9`
2. Try booting without any cartridges inserted (including flashcarts)
3. If you have a hardmod and a NAND backup, flash the backup back to SysNAND.
4. Try booting into recovery mode and updating your system.
*This probably will not work for an Old 3DS downgraded to 2.1.0*
**This will BRICK a New 3DS downgraded to 2.1.0**
1. Power off your 3DS by holding down the power button.
2. Hold (L)+(R)+(A)+(Up).
3. Power on the 3DS.
4. If you enter safe mode, update your 3DS *only if you have an entrypoint for the latest FW version and it is possible to downgrade from it* and attempt the downgrade again.
5. Your 3DS may be bricked. For support, ask for help at [#3dshacks on Rizon IRC](https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/wiki/irc) or [3DS Hacking on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp).
## <a name="ts_sys_a9lh" />Black screen on SysNAND boot after installing arm9loaderhax
1. Ensure you have a working payload.
1. Check for the existence of `arm9loaderhax.bin` in the root of your SD card.
2. Try resetting Luma's config and fix options
1. Apague o arquivo `/luma/config.bin` do seu cartão SD
2. Set your options when it boots
3. Test booting Hourglass9
1. On Luma3DS, hold (Start) on boot
4. Tente apagar o extdata do Menu HOME
1. Clear Home Menu's extdata by navigating to the following folder on your SD card: `/Nintendo 3DS/(32 Character ID)/(32 Character ID)/extdata/00000000/`

6. If you previously downgraded with Gateway, ensure that you are using the latest Luma3DS version (v6.2.3 or higher, at the least)
7. If your NAND is of a version between 3.0.0 and 4.5.0, do the following:
+ Ensure that you are using the latest Luma3DS version (v6.6 or higher, at the least)
+ Download [this file](http://nus.cdn.c.shop.nintendowifi.net/ccs/download/0004013800000002/00000056) and rename it to `firmware.bin`
