When it's released:hi guys, im sorry for reviving this old thread of mine, but im just wondering if theres a new method regarding unbricking 3ds without nand back up now? thanks in advance
yes bro, i know,, im really happy though there is still hope
@GizmoTheGreen but i dont have a back up of the nand, is still applicable? thanks
yes, you use the hardmod to take a backup of your current nand, then apply the b9s to that backup, then flash it back to your 3ds. now you can boot .firm payloads from SD indepedantly of your nand FW. use that to load Luma and chainload Godmode9 to CTR transfer, to fix your FW.
edit: or if you want to wait, you can wait for ntrboothax that will allow you to boot .firm payload from a NDS flashcart (which ones will work has not been announced yet) but you will need a CFW 3ds to install it to the cart. then your 3ds will boot immediately from that cart, load godmode9 and you can CTR transfer and fix your FW
Of course people have tested it. Otherwise it wouldn't be a method on the guide™.i have a friend who is good at soldering might as well try the hard mod of having to back up my current nand on my brick old 3ds xl, then apply the b9s to my backup, then flash it back to my 3ds,
ahmm did someone already tried this and successfully unbrick there 3ds?
