Thanks for the hint, but this is not my 2DS and I want to spend the minimum amount of time to get it working again and then be done with it.
It should be, but some people have reported issues with cheap "generic" brand mSD adapters and readers.
Thanks, I'll just try it out.
Do I HAVE to downgrade the system again? What if my roommate is happy with 10.5 and plans on not hacking it again? If I manage to restore my backed up NAND, the system should be on 8.1 without any modifications, so we could also just leave it at that.
in the german forum.wii-forum.com is a guy named ciapa that offers hardmod downgrade service for 35€ - you can send the 2ds with a copy of your nand and he will flash it. or pay 15€ and he will include a micro usb connector into the case of your console.
The link also says: "You will not have an internet connection or be able to use StreetPass". Now it's obvious why ninjhax won't work...
Another idea (maybe really stupid, but IDK): What about if you install NinjHax for the 2DS actual FW version (loading the appropriate QR code) but using another console and then try again?
Ninjhax would still require the web browser to exploit the system, even if the QR code was parsed previously. If I'm not wrong, only ninjhax 2.X can boot without the browser. This was a problem for users who had no browser and wanted homebrew (As the browser didn't come with cartridge updates and updating would put the user on non-desired FW).
Oh, that's a pity!... And then, if only OP's 2DS console have some FW between 9.0 - 9.2 maybe using CN or OoT3D (for any *hax 2.x) could be a good and enough option, but... then no. Sorry!
Maybe the write protection slider of your SD adapter is set to LOCK.
I just noticed that I lost the write protection slider, damn. Maybe I have to sacrifice another adapter.
Awesome! Now upgrade that thing to 9.2 and install homemenuhax + ctrbootmanager and RxToolsGuys, thank you so much! Mission complete!
I only burnt two of my fingers and it took like 4 or 5 hours, but everything is working perfectly. You can't imagine how good this feels.
I actually don't use a Gateway, I just had the Gateway emuNAND and used RxTools to boot into it. But I won't spend any more time on that thing, my roommate (it's her 2DS) doesn't want the hacks anymore and she already bought the game she wants to play.Awesome!

Edit: just realised you're using Gateway, so better to stick with that
In that case just update normally, it will be fine. Glad everything worked out ok.I actually don't use a Gateway, I just had the Gateway emuNAND and used RxTools to boot into it.
