I've got a New 3DS XL here which has been bricked for over a year. I don't recall exactly what I did, but it was when I was much less competent at CFW - I think I updated the OFW accidentally while setting up CFW. In any case, it's stuck with two black screens when I turn it on, and it was suggested that I buy the R4i Gold 3DS Plus and use ntrboot to get it working again.
Well, a year later I finally bought one, and it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. I made sure to switch to the N mode, I put all the files + folders on the micro SD (and put that in the 3DS as well as the cart), I have a magnet which I'm 99.9% sure I'm putting in the right place (right below the ABXY buttons, and I've experimented with moving it around anyway), I'm holding X + Select + Start and then turning it on. It just turns on with the blue light and both screens are blank as if I didn't have the R4i cart.
Is there something I'm probably doing wrong? Or have I been mislead and I'm going to need to hardmod?
