Hacking Bricked 3ds?

[weirdolk]

Interesting. The fact that a PIN has been set up may be the cause of your home menu freeze.

I didn't set up the PIN. Any ideas on what I can do to solve this?

It's a shame that the PIN / parental lock wasn't removed prior to the guide being followed, as it will prevent some basic system tasks initialising.

I think a few people have struggled with PIN removal midway through downgrading / installing A9LH, so it might be worth searching older threads for ideas on how to move forward.

These brick posts are getting weirder and weirder. @weirdolk is experiencing a PIN spectre. I wonder how that happened.

It's an used 3ds. The thing is, even if I hit ok to place a PIN number, the screen freezes and I can't do anything.

No, I don't. But even if I try to type something, it doesn't let me.

This site requires an inquiry number for the master key. How can I get this information if I can't access anything on my 3ds?

I'm not sure on the safest way to for you to do this (as you're already on 2.1) but ideally you need to go back to the beginning, remove the PIN and format the console before starting the guide again. In your case unfortunately it might not be possible to do this.

Here's a video to show the behavior of the 3ds when I turn it on.

What if you spam the location of the internet browser button before it even shows the menu?

Tried a blank freshly formatted sdcard?

What you showed doesn't in anyway portray your PIN problem.

maybe try removing the battery for 5 minutes and plug it back ?

Hmm, the top bar on the top screen never appears. Just like what happens with a bad wifi adapter.

Hey, I actually didn't try that. Will try it and see if it changes anything...

Already did that

So, is there something I can do to fix that? (besides buying another one?)

 

[DavidRO99]

What do you mean?

The location of the internet browser button on the homemenu, if you spam it fast enough you might be able to get into it before it freezes.

Doomed from the start then if @weidolk didn't check internet connection before going through the hax.

He can remove the battery

@The Real Jdbye is suggesting that it is a bad wifi adapter from what he saw in the video then there wouldn't have been internet connection from the beggining.
