Mines an old 3DS LL so it should work.
On the old (2/3)DS(XL/LL) systems, I think there's a certain order of unlinking the NNID on that handheld's native region (ie, you don't simply delete NNID. It has to be unregistered with Nintendo's server), region change the 3DS firmware, perform Format System Memory, and then create a new NNID on that region changed firmware before touching any of the Nintendo services like eShop and theme shop.

Here's an outdated guide detailing this for older A9LH cfw.
I have no way* to verify if this still applies.

* There is a brand new o2DS in my possession, but it's off limits from CFW experiments.

Ya, I deleted the account and formatted on the Japan backup so I'm not sure what the issue is. Only thing I notice now is it doesn't complain about a different region. Do you think I need to do another format on the USA region firmware?

    @realtimesave, It definitely did take a while for the PS4 to be fully hacked, much like the PS Vita.

    @SylverReZ, then the chance of potentially me wanting to have a phat xbox 360 is -1%
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If you have one, then chances are is that it needs a reballing of the chips.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If you can Get a slim, even if few dollars more, do it

    @Xdqwerty, Falcon RGH models are fine, but a slim model is slightly more money apparently.
