Hey guys, I have kind of a unique problem that I can't seem to find an answer to anywhere.
I have an Old USA 3DS that was on 11.3 with A9LH and working fine with a lot of my stuff on it, installed, and categorized/sorted, (Essentially PERFECT) and it got into the hands of a small child who immediately pressed "ok" for the 11.4 update nag that I've been avoiding like the plague for months now, while I had my back turned for literally 45 seconds.
In a foolish panic, I quickly booted up Hourglass9 and used the SysNAND Restore option to revert back to what I thought was a backup of my 11.3 NAND, but as it turns out, it was actually the 9.2.0-20U backup I had from back when I originally used The Guide (for A9LH, that is, not the bootloader one).
So my problem now is absolutely everything has disappeared from my home screen, it's completely stock. It's all still on the SD card tho, because I can see all my games in the "00040000" folder under "title" inside the "Nintendo 3DS" folder, nested inside the two folder with what I'm assuming is the console's unique ID or whatever (it's like a million numbers).
Also, in System Settings>Data Management>Nintendo 3DS>Software I see all the "Saved Software Titles", but I can't do anything with them as they're all grayed out with big gray X's on everything, and with only the option to "Delete" or "Close" when I click on anything.
So now my question is, how can I get everything back to normal, especially without having to re-install everything and categorize/sort it all again?
I'm assuming I can't use any of my software unless I somehow manage to update back to 11.3/11.4 (although for whatever reason, I'd just prefer to stay on 11.3), or at least that's what I've read, but it's still unclear to me whether or not I have to mess with some "Ticket/Title Database" or something along those lines.
I do have the update files for 11.3 in a .zip file which I'm hoping to use with SysUpdater somehow (if possible), but I don't exactly remember the process for that, and I'm not even sure that it'll fix my problem, or make matters worse.
I'm also not sure if I can just update to 11.4 without breaking something, but like I said, I'd still prefer to be on 11.3 and have everything exactly the way I had it before, categorized, sorted, and with all my FBI and other "homebrew" stuff on it.
All my pre-boot payloads still work, like Hourglass9, Decrypt9, Luma3DS and GodMode..but I haven't seen any possible options to solve my issue in any of those programs..
Well, thanks for taking the time to read this long post, and hopefully you don't flame me too much for being a noob lol.
