I'm curious cause a guy on another forums asked this question and he says he bought a 2DS from some store and upon returning home and booting it up he noticed that his 3DS's online functionality seemingly does not work. Basically, he can't update the firmware and he can't go online with it so he checked the firmware and 11.0.0-4U is what showed up.

We told him to check the SD card and he says there's a lot of weird files on the card that wouldn't normally be in a clean SD card.

He pretty much can't do anything about it now but to use the 3DS as an offline only console cause the firmware version he has doesn't even officially exist

Sounds like a creepypasta but it's true lol

Just wondering how the 3DS he bought ended up with that particular firmware version? What do you think did the original owner do with the console.

has he tried safe mode? try setting it up with internet manually, regardless if it fails or works. then shut it off. hold A+R+L+Up(DPad). then follow. there is two firms. safe mode and native firm. native firm is usally touched when downgrading. however safe mode isn't. this could fix the system. Safe mode will update the system and may un Frankenstein his system. And it should force a connection to the system. and may get the files that is missing. P.s WHAT EVER YOU DO DON'T FORMAT THE SYSTEM. It may cause a brick.

He said that the person can't boot into SAFE_MODE.

well I guess he screwed. Unless he manages to aceess hbl from soundhax. and do a ctr transfer to 9.2.0.

The 2ds in question is mine. I originally posted the problem on Gamefaqs. At the time, I could find no one experiencing a firmware of 11.0.0-4U. There is no payload for that version firmware, so basically I have an offline device now. I would simply return the 2ds, because it was a backup to my N3dsXL, but this whole thing interests me. Like stated above, the browser, eshop, download play, youtube, miiverse apps do not work and prompt me for an update. Update through settings gets me about 90 percent there, but restarts my 2ds due to error. Booting up holding all those buttons takes me to an update screen, but it fails too. This is where I'm at until some way to crack a 4U firmware can be made. I screwed up big time and updated through my daughter's Pokemon Sun game, thinking I would be brought back to current firmware, since that game is fairly new. I had no idea it would keep the browser version the same. There were a lot of weird files like Luma and 9 something, and otherapp, and some other files. The SD card was wiped clean and a system format was done. Same issues remain. It cannot update. It is essentially a cartridge only system.

Have you tried Cubic Ninja? Ninjhax 2.x doesn't use the browser.

 

[fortedsx]

What if A9LH was successfully installed but the previous owner attempted to restore it by doing a system update instead of restoring it via NAND dump?
Try booting the 2DS without an SD inside it. See if the Luma config screen comes up.
If it has A9LH, you might be able to restore via 9.2.0 ctrtransfer

Have not tried that yet. I do not have a copy of that game. May have to check into it.

Have you even tried soundhax yet? That seems like the most obvious thing to do and it's free and doesn't depend on the browser.

No ropbin for that firmware.

He probably doesn't know anything about 3DS homebrew scene because he doesn't know about A9LH, Luma3DS and Decrypt9, so don't talk like it should be an obvious thing for him to do.

 

[zoogie]

No ropbin for that firmware.

That 4 value is nver, which is the browser, eshop etc. number, and it's meaningless.
POST5_U_25600_usa_9221.bin is what he needs.
It's also otherapp, not ropbin.
@TheSystemFailed please don't run out and buy cubic ninja, which is like half the cost of a new 2ds, lol.

He said they didn't work in a previous thread iirc.

Where? I don't see him mentioning trying soundhax here or on his gamefaqs thread

Oh, different person.

 

[Quantumcat]

Oh, different person.

Yeah I made the same mistake. I remembered the person in this thread not being able to use SoundHax.

 

[imRed]

IIRC, the last number (for the browser etc) needs to be equal or higher for otherapp to work correctly. Have you tried it with a higher number to get something to work?

Edit: and for use with soundhax rename the file to otherapp.bin (not otherapp.bin.bin ofcourse) and place it in the root of the SD.

I did try loading up higher browser versions. They all just lead to a restart when I run the sound file in the music app

Yep. Tried soundhax. The problem is no payload to download for version 4 browser. 7 is the lowest option.

11.0.0-7U == 11.0.0-33U == 11.0.0-999U

Download all and compare hashes and you'll see.

@TheSystemFailed The browser version DOES NOT MATTER. See above.
