While experiencing this bug, you cannot boot into the HOME menu normally, but you should still be able to access the Rosalina Menu (L + D-PAD DOWN + SELECT) on the black screen, and be able to hold buttons while powering on to boot to GodMode9 (START) and the Luma3DS configuration menu (SELECT).

If your issue has any of the following, it is not lumabug:
If your issue has any of the following, it is not RTC bug:
*If the power LED does not stay on when powering on the console, you are most likely missing <code>boot.firm</code> from the SD root.
*If the power LED does not stay on when powering on the console, you are most likely missing <code>boot.firm</code> from the SD root.
*If you cannot access the Rosalina menu from the black screen, this is not the RTC bug but may be [[3dsguide:troubleshooting#powernotification-light-indicators|one of these related issues]] (the "My console gets stuck on a black screen with blue power light staying on" section).
*If you cannot access the Rosalina menu from the black screen, this is not the RTC bug but may be [[3DS:Black screen unbrick|one of these related issues]]. You can skip Section II of CFW troubleshooting since we know that RTC bug is not the issue.
*If you cannot boot into GodMode9 or the Luma configuration menu, you may have missing CFW files or [[Checking SD card integrity|issues with SD integrity]]. If not, then you likely have a serious issue that will require guided assistance and should ask [https://discord.com/invite/nintendohomebrew the Nintendo Homebrew Discord] for help.

If the console boots successfully in that time, the bug is now fixed and is unlikely to happen again. If the console still fails to boot to home menu, ask [https://discord.com/invite/nintendohomebrew the Nintendo Homebrew Discord] for more help. Mention that you have already tried the luma black screen process.
