If you are unable to boot your 3DS, please look for the section relevant to you, and follow the instructions. Once a solution works for you, you can proceed on with the main guide
(The section is fairly long, try using Ctrl+F to search for your issue.)
{: .notice--primary}
**If you still cannot solve your issue and need to reach out for help, please paste the contents of all relevant .log files from the root of your SD card into a [Gist](https://gist.github.com/), then come for help prepared with a detailed description of your problem and what you've tried.**

## <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.

## <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
1. Scroll to the bottom and Initialize Savedata (it also may be called Clear All Save Data)
2. Try the exploit again
## <a name="ts_safe_a9lh" />System boots directly SafeA9LHInstaller
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`
1. Copy `arm9loaderhax.bin` from the Luma3DS zip to the root of your SD card
2. Reboot holding select and continue
## <a name="ts_safe_a9lh_screen" />SafeA9LHInstaller shows a glitched screen

1. Press (Select) and arm9loaderhax will be installed
2. The console will reboot
+ If the console does not reboot, wait 10 seconds, then power off your 3DS by holding down the power button

This is because you selected the wrong version in the steelhax installer.
1. Download the [otherapp payload](https://smealum.github.io/3ds/#otherapp) corresponding to **3DS #2's** version
+ Ignore the NFIRM being downgraded
+ Use the version displayed in settings
2. Rename the otherapp payload to `steelhax_payload.bin`
3. Copy it `steelhax_payload.bin` to the root of **3DS #2's** SD Card
+ Overwrite any existing files
4. Launch **Steel Diver: Sub Wars**
## <a name="ts_dsiware" />After doing the DSiWare Downgrade, my hacked save is gone
3. Reboot **3DS #1** while holding Start to launch Hourglass9
4. Go to SysNAND Backup/Restore and restore SysNAND from `NANDmin.bin` (the one made before the system transfer)
1. If you don't have the game at all, link the NNID you bought the game with to **3DS #2** and download it on **3DS #2**
2. On **3DS #1**, do [DSiWare Downgrade - Section II - Installing the save](dsiware-downgrade#section-ii---installing-the-save)
3. On **3DS #1**, go to System Settings, "Data Management", "DSiWare", then copy your DSiWare game to your SD card
4. Either put **3DS #1**'s SD card in **3DS #2**, or rename the `Nintendo 3DS` on **3DS #2**'s SD card and copy the `Nintendo 3DS` folder from **3DS #1**'s SD card to **3DS #2**'s SD card
5. On **3DS #2**, go to System Settings, "Data Management", "DSiWare", then copy your DSiWare game to the system

1. Make sure you do not have any folder named "Decrypt9" on **the root** of your SD card
3. Try checking your SD card file system with something like `fsck.vfat <sd partition path>` (on *nix) or `CHKDSK <sd drive letter> /F` (on Windows)
4. Try backing up your SD card files, then formatting it and copying them back
5. Try a different SD card
## <a name="ts_sys_down" />Black screen on SysNAND boot

2. Take out the SD card.
3. Power on the 3DS.
4. When the home menu appears, reinsert your SD card.
5. If this worked, you should 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/`
+ EUR Region: Delete `00000098`
+ JPN Region: Delete `00000082`
+ USA Region: Delete `0000008f`
+ CHN Region: Delete `000000A1`
+ KOR Region: Delete `000000A9`
+ TWN Region: Delete `000000B1`
1. Try booting without any cartridges inserted (including flashcarts)
2. If you have a hardmod and a NAND backup, flash the backup back to SysNAND.
3. 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.

2. Place the `arm9loaderhax.bin` from the archive linked above in your SD root.
3. Insert your SD card into your 3DS and power on.
4. Press (A). Your 3DS should power off; this means arm9loaderhax is working and something else is broken; your device is **not** bricked.
8. If you previously downgraded with Gateway, ensure that you are using the latest Luma3DS version (v6.2.3 or higher, at the least)
9. If your NAND is of a version between 3.0.0 and 4.5.0, do the following:
+ Download [Luma 3DS v6.3.1](https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases/tag/v6.3.1)
+ Copy `arm9loaderhax.bin` from the Luma3DS v6.3.1 zip to the root of your SD card, overwrite existing files
