Today, I was trying to get Custom Firmware on my 3DS using this guide https://3ds.guide/ Everything was going fine until while trying to do the CTRNAND Transfer, my console turned off. Ever since then, my 3DS stays on a black screen whenever it's turned on. I've been trying for hours and hours to see if there's anything I could do to fix it but nothing has worked yet. I don't know if there's any way I could fix this but I'm begging for help. I need this 3DS to work.

If you were unable to perform this most crucial step, then it sounds like you had it coming...
Yeah it pretty much is my fault and I didn't have enough space on my sd card to make the NAND backup. I'm just hoping for a miracle fix or something that would make my 3DS work normally again.

i found a nandmin.bin file in my files9 folder.... would that be able to help with anything at all?
did you follow the guide to the T, if yes you would have made a backup before flashing 2.1 ...what 3ds do you have and what's the size of the nandmin file?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

it has 0 kb lmao... im fcked..

it just turned off out of nowhere.. maybe i pressed a button or maybe it just gave up, i don't even know anymore
oops ..was it charged?

1. i followed the guide to a T but the backup was never made... i have the old 3ds xl and the size of the nandmin file is 0 kb. pretty sure i cant do anything with that :O
2. yeah it was charged, probably pressed a button on accident and it costed me my life.

probably not going to work, but as a last resort try booting recovery mode and updating, hopefully the ctrtransfer was far enough along to boot into recovery mode....but I kinda doubt it will have been, in fact iirc it doesn't do the native_firm until last so it's probably in a terribly broken state

there is a tiny ray of hope in the form of sighax with a hard mod, but unfortunately I don't think anyone willing to share it is close to cracking it yet

stick it in a draw and wait for news or sell.it for parts and buy a new one

then you did not follow to the T.

If you do not already have a NAND backup, backup SysNAND to NANDmin.bin when prompted by pressing (A)
  • Having a backup of your device’s NAND is REQUIRED.
  • Skipping this backup will result in the LOSS of all installed games and saves!
