    Hacking Bricked N3DSXL won't boot ntrboot

    Thank you my friends!!! You have no idea how good it feels to see the menu screen a year after giving up on this 3DS! :wub::wub::wub:

    Just gave it a go, I'm getting the same error screen. I'm guessing it's the latter? I do have backups of my NAND.

    Hacking Bricked N3DSXL won't boot ntrboot

    Oops, thank you! That worked successfully. Now I just need to figure out why I'm getting this data abort error and why deleting the extdata doesn't work.

    Hacking Bricked N3DSXL won't boot ntrboot

    I've given remove_extdata.gm9 a try - in the guide it says to try booting up without the SD card and then insterting it once it's booted up, but my 3DS just shuts off after a second when I do that. I tried doing it with the SD card in first, which lets me successfully get all the way through...

    Hacking Bricked N3DSXL won't boot ntrboot

    It was the magnet! The one I was using was strong enough for my 3DS XL, but not the New 3DS XL. I can now boot into the GodMode 9 and Luma menus. I've followed the steps on 3ds.guide all the way up to the Finalizing Setup section, but I'm getting an error when trying to boot up. I've attached a...

    I can't think of any time I've dropped it, and the most I've opened it is the back panel to get to the SD card slot. I guess it could be an mcr brick, but wouldn't it just not turn on at all in that case?

    No noises at all.

    Hacking Bricked N3DSXL won't boot ntrboot

    Yep, I've tested it on my regular 3DS XL which is running the latest Luma. Screen turns straight off. Unfortunately, since my New 3DS XL doesn't boot into anything, I can't really test if the magnet is working aside from having it boot what I'm doing using 3ds.guide. I've tried holding them and...

    Hacking Bricked N3DSXL won't boot ntrboot

    Okay, because I'm a little confused with all the terminology, I'll recap what I'm doing so I can make sure I do this right: I'm got my New 3DS XL which is bricked. It does turn on - the blue light appears - but both screens stay black. I don't recall exactly how I bricked it because it's been...

    Hacking Bricked N3DSXL won't boot ntrboot

    I just tried it again on my working 3DS, and it's booting up GodMode9 every time. Last time I tried, it booted up the SafeB9SInstaller screen. It does still show up on the main 3DS menu screen as a cart when I switch it to cart mode. The 3DS I'm trying to fix had arm9loaderhax installed, I...

    Bumping in case anyone has any ideas, I might try to pick up a different MicroSD today to see if maybe it's a brand/model issue

    I'm afraid so :( This is the card I'm using, for reference:

    Hacking Bricked N3DSXL won't boot ntrboot

    I just tested the R4i on my working 3DS (regular 3DS XL). It works in flashcart mode (comes up in the main menu as a Konami game), and then I tested it in NTRboot mode and it got to the NTRboot screen without me even having to do the magnet + button combo. So it looks like there's nothing wrong...

    Hacking Bricked N3DSXL won't boot ntrboot

    The files are on the SD card put into the SD slot in the 3DS itself :) is there some way I can make sure it's not corrupt? I formatted it fresh before I went through with this. I guess I could give that a try! It's a brand new flashcart that arrived only hours ago, but I guess there's a chance...

    Hacking Bricked N3DSXL won't boot ntrboot

    Yep, that's right! Here's a picture of the board itself to show that it's in the left (N) position. And here's the front of the cart. That's the guide I followed, what's on my SD card is from the links they provided :) sorry for not phrasing it clearer, I have been holding Power +...
