This thread kind of smells like a trap to me, kind of like how Nintendo put lawyers in the Yuzu Discord to talk about pirating games in order to levy a case against the developers. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but the cascade of events that leads to needing a link on this forum to a CTRNAND copy just seems a bit over the top.
HELP!!

@anotherthing Since linking to copyrighted content is prohibited on this forum I don't see any risk here.
Restoring a software damaged device is a good thing and current copyright laws are plain bad in this regard.
That said, everybody is on their own searching up stuff. Nintendo shall sue Google for indexing sites and helping piracy. Only good things could come from such a case.
Somebody should upload a file of the correct size named ctrtransfer.zip for the lawyers -- but containing Trollface images instead of Nintendo content.

You don't even need a Citra installation if you plan on restoring the save data to another 3DS.

And if you're restoring the save data to the same 3DS without doing a System Format first, you don't even need threeSD, really; the encryption isn't changing in that case, and threeSD is only necessary for decryption.
You know more about this than I do, but can you tell me how you can just go through and delete stuff blindly from the Home Screen which results in a screwed up the NAND? I think the story is fairly fishy, but if there is a way to do it, I'd like to know so that I don't make that mistake in the future.
Ohh, man; that bites. I feel your pain. I lost my original Wii U's data by using an improperly-powered USB hub (it was a cheap hub I got from Goodwill... should've known better, I guess), so yeah, I know about data loss. From what it sounds like, your stuff is just gone forever. I'm sorry for you.
You might want to take a moment to mourn over your loss before continuing.
...There. Feel better? Let's continue.
While I don't think anybody can recover your lost data for you (saves, etc.), the good news is that you can probably still recover your 3DS if you've taken the appropriate measures to have it boot into something else. I don't know how FBI works, as I've never modded my 3DS, but I can't imagine there isn't some kind of recovery software that wouldn't recover your hard-bricked 3DS. Make sure to do plenty of research; also, I think some folks here have already offered some solutions to your problem.
Don't you think the Nintendo lawyers can come up with a consistent story?
=========
You are right about the normal Data Management – It can just remove stuff from Home Menu. It doesn't show or even delete system titles. The OS may not commit suicide on unmodified consoles since there is no (intended) way of reinstalling the OS
FBI on the other hand allows deleting all titles. This includes Home Menu. Guess what happens when you remove it.
I would go as far as saying FBI is a bit dangerous and careless in this regard: It doesn't give explicit, red warnings like GodMode9 does before doing potentially bad things. Well. System titles are marked in red; many don't have a name (and some people concluded these were broken titles and removed them just because of that).
More or less everything you can mess up can be repaired by NAND restoration; so keep a known good backup on multiple media.
Biggest mistake is no backup.
Next thing to avoid is modfiying NSCD header and/or FIRM partitions with the hexeditor

Wow. That is pretty crazy. I mainly just use the 3DS Data Management in the system settings to remove titles. I didn't know FBI allowed you to remove the Home Menu. That's pretty crazy.
I have backups of all my xDS consoles. Some of them have multiple backups in folders named with the date of the backup. All my system SD cards are backed up. All the SD cards from my flash cartridges are backed up regularly. Everything is sorted by folders named with the data of backup. I'm pretty paranoid when it comes to backing stuff up.
I give up. There is no hope to be found and there wont be any
I got a question can you use JUST the CTRTransfer D90 .TXT by itself or do you need both CTRTransfer and CTRTransfer D90 for in order for it to work because I only got the CTRTransfer D90 .TXT and I don't have the regular file

You're not the first person who's ever done something like this. There's only no hope if you can't follow instructions and clearly describe your problem and what you are doing. Maybe you should consider asking someone with slightly more experience to fix your unit.
See, I have no idea what you're referring to and what you expect those files to do.
Wouldn't it be better to post it here so the next person that has this issue knows what to do?
