Homebrew NANDmin.bin and NANDmin.bin.sha deleted on O3DS!

[Zekamon]

So I deleted the NANDmin backups from an old 3DS. What can I do now?

I know updating a New 3DS is not possible but what about O3DS? What can I do?

 

[rikumax25!]

Do a 9.2 ctrtransfer

Do a 9.2 ctrtransfer

I downgraded a min ago. Can I just do a 9.2 directly? Isn't it possible to just update the 3DS?

 

[rikumax25!]

Do you want to brick?

Do you want to brick?

I mean the guide says that you shouldn't update an New 3DS since 2.1 is an Old 3DS firm but wouldn't it be safe to update on an Old 3DS

Also if I can't where can I find the 9.1 ctrnand transfer?

if it is an o3ds you can safely update

Wait I found it.

Keep reading the guide

So I just continue the guide until the 9.2 Transfer?

The OP won't brick, they have an O3DS. You CAN update an O3DS from 2.1.0 via System Update but not on a N3DS. This is because firmware 2.1.0 is an official firmware released for the O3DS and the N3DS firmware started at 8.X.X-XX. So basically the N3DS can't check for a firmware that old as it was never an officially released firmware for the N3DS.

OP should update directly to 11.2 via system settings once you have a9lh, you'll be fine.

new 3ds started on 8.x.x-xx if you count the Japanese launch version.

Ah, I see. Google only pulled up the USA launch info. Thanks for correcting me. Although my point still stands.

Only after installing A9LH or does it work directly after the downgrade to 2.1?

 

[BL4Z3D247]

Yes, after you install A9LH just update system from the system settings.

 

[Zekamon]

Yes, after you install A9LH just update system from the system settings.

But what if it fails to boot after installing Luma like "Failed to mount CTRNAND" or just a plain black screen?

 

[Zekamon]

Also why would you need to restore the system if updating is just fine?

Section IV - Restoring the System
If, before following this guide, you already had an EmuNAND setup and would like to move the contents of your previous EmuNAND to your new SysNAND CFW, now is the time to follow Move EmuNAND instead of doing the first four steps in this section.

1. Open Hourglass9 from arm9loaderhax by holding (Start) on boot
2. Go to “SysNAND Backup/Restore”
3. Go to “SysNAND Restore (keep a9lh)” and restore from NANDmin.bin
4. Press (Start) to reboot
   • If you get a black screen, follow 9.2.0 ctrtransfer
5. If your backup was of a version between 3.0.0 and 4.5.0, your console will not boot until you manually download the required firmware:
   • Download this file and rename it to firmware.bin
   • Download this file
   • Copy firmware.bin and cetk to the /luma/ folder on your SD card
   • Delete both of these files after updating your 3DS
6. Update your 3DS by going to System Settings, then “Other Settings”, then going all the way to the right and using “System Update”
   • Updates while using A9LH + Luma (what you have) are safe, stop asking about it
   • The warning about never updating a New 3DS from 2.1.0 does not apply after restoring your NAND backup.
   • If this gives you an error, set your DNS settings to “auto”
   • If this still gives you an error and your NAND is below 9.2.0, follow 9.2.0 ctrtransfer

My point was you can't brick from updating an "O3DS" from 2.1.0 from updating. If you follow the guide it tells you to restore your NAND with Hourglass9 and use the "Restore (keep a9lh)". If you started from 11.2 OFW then you won't need to do a System Update, however not all people update to the latest firmware before installing A9LH so they have to do a System update. If you said you lost your NAND backups, how are you going to restore your system, the only way is to update the system like most of us have been saying.
