If you are experiencing the "System Settings loading infinitely after reinserting the SD card" error when trying to install MSET9 using the PC (cli) or Play Store guide, this page will help you resolve that issue by using a blank SD card to perform a fresh install with either a spare SD card, or your original SD card which has been backed up and formatted to avoid issues caused by your current install.
It also works if you aren't getting the Mii Maker entry at the Extra Data screen.
All of your original games and saves will be intact as long as you follow the steps properly.
Before continuing please ensure you are choosing the right model (old 3DS, old 3DS XL, old 2DS vs New 3DS, New 3DS XL, New 2DS XL) and correct system version.
Also please make sure you are injecting AFTER ejecting from the extra data screen and not before.
NOTE: If your Extra Data has crashed at Section II Step 5 and you never saw the mii maker icon, you injected early. Follow the steps below to remove MSET9 and try Section II again.

- Power off your console (if your 3DS is stuck at the extra data screen with a spinning circle, force power off your console by holding the power button down for 15 seconds)
- Insert your SD card into your phone/tablet/computer
- Run the MSET9 Installer application
- If
Remove MSET9

, then navigate to your <code<Nintendo 3DS folder on your SD card - Once inside the

- Eject the original SD card from your PC
- PUT YOUR ORIGINAL SD CARD AWAY
- Insert your spare SD card into your PC
- Make sure this is your spare SD card and not the original SD card
- Format the spare SD card as FAT32 (Do not copy your data back to the card yet)
- Insert the formatted, blank SD card into your console
- Return to Section I Step 1 of the MSET9 CLI Guide
- After Luma3DS installs and your console boots to the homescreen, power it off and switch to your original SD card for Finalizing
- Backup your SD card to a folder to your PC (especially the Nintendo 3DS and DCIM folders)
- Double check that you properly backed up your data
- Format the SD card as FAT32 (Do not copy your data back to the card yet)
- Insert the formatted, blank SD card into your console
- Return to Section I Step 1 of the MSET9 CLI Guide
- After Luma3DS installs and your console boots to the homescreen, power off your console

- Restore your backed up folders to the SD card and continue on to Restoring / Updating CFW to ensure you have Luma on your SD card, and then continue onto Finalizing.
SD Formatting does not work properly on Android phones or Chromebooks so this guide only allows for the use of a spare SD card already formatted with FAT32 if using the Play Store Method. Tip: 32GB SD cards or smaller are FAT32 by default. If you do not have a spare SD card in the FAT32 format you will need to use a PC and use one of the other tabs in this section |
