Hello
I'm one of the "lucky" ones with bricked 3ds XL from R4i card.
For three days I'm trying to restore my NAND without success. I have tried with three different cable types, with different SD adapters also. Also i have tried about 6 different card readers and several PCs. The best result i have so far is - on the two of the card readers Windows sees unformatted drive but when try to read or write it says "device not ready". I'm trying with win32diskimager and usb image tool.
The error on 3ds screen when i'm powering with card reader attached to PC is
errcode 00F800FE
00000000 00000000
00000400 00000000
but i'm sure that cmd is not connected to clk
Actually, I'm attaching photo of my current cable with numbers of SD pins that each cable is attached to.
I'm starting to think that you can't restore NAND if the 3ds is bricked from flash card.
Any ideas?
