A couple of questions

Gregoryxl · Apr 24, 2024

Hi, I have a couple of questions about the hacked 3ds.

Is it possible to format the internal memory of the 3ds and leave it to the factory state? Is the hack lost? Does it break the 3ds, or nothing happens?

Can a CIA file bricks the 3ds or corrupt the NAND by writing data on it either during the installation process or running the CIA?

yes, no and don't try to "remove hacks", it is a stupid and dangerous idea. no, no.

If you have CFW installed on SysNAND then follow these steps: https://3ds.hacks.guide/uninstall-cfw.html

Can a CIA file bricks the 3ds or corrupt the NAND by writing data on it either during the installation process or running the CIA?

Only if you're installing critical system modules.

You can do a factory reset it doesn't remove CFW.

No to that if he region changed, wouldn't recommend people to uninstall CFW anyway.

I do NOT intend to uninstall the CFW. I ask because in the future I might be interested in cleaning the memory of the console from junk and unnecessary files.

The problem I have is that I do not fully understand how LUMA 3DS works. I have been using the PSP for years with CFW ME and it is practically impossible to cause a brick because of an application or a homebrew, as the CFW behaves like an original firmware. In the same way that you can't run unsigned code on a legal 3DS (unless you use an exploit to hack it), the luma 3ds should be shielded against any attempt to modify the NAND. So the luma 3ds looks more like a temporary CFW than a permanent CFW. If formatting the console is a tool that is part of the 3ds system, it should be able to be used without any risk to the console. I repeat, I do not fully understand this CFW.

That's not right. There have been downgraders and fake apps floating around that can and WILL brick your PSP if used improper.
