How to restore your deleted/broken system apps in 4 steps!
The other day, I dusted off my homebrewed 2DS. I was looking to get ALL of the functionality, so I decided to try the Internet Browser which, sadly, crashed.
Apparently, my Internet Browser was corrupted, so I thought of a fix:
(PSST! THIS ONLY WORKS FOR PREINSTALLED APPS AS FAR AS I KNOW)
Step 1: Get the Title ID
This is pretty easy; just go to this page on the 3dbrew wiki.
You can use CTRL-F to find a certain one.
Step 2: Find it in FBI
Turn on your 3DS, open FBI, and look for the title ID. For me it was marked in red.
Step 3: Delete the title
Press "A" when the title is highlighted, and select "Delete". Then, just press B until you get to the main menu, and close FBI.
Step 4: Update in System Settings
Now, the problem with doing this if you haven't deleted the system app is that it's still on your system technically, so the 3DS will see no need to update. But if you update AFTER deleting the system app, it will think that your 3DS is in need of an update. Wait for the "update" to finish, and then test the system app that wasn't working before. It should probably work.
