Hardware Restore bricked 3DS? [Tricky situation]

[ArviDroid]

Hi.
I bricked my 3DS. I was trying to downgrade to 2.1.0. but I accidentaly downgraded on SysNAND instead of RedNAND. So now my 3DS is bricked... I tried updating my 3DS through recovery mode. But it only loads to 1% and after a while says there was an error. Earlier on when I updated RedNAND I had the same issue, but it worked after a few attempts. In this case it doesn´t seem to work. Are there any other ways to unbrick my 3DS? Help would be much appriciated. Thanks in advance.

you will have to get a hardmod and flash an old backup

Do you have any nand backups made before you bricked?

Thought this was the other only solution and it is, right? I can´t do this, so I guess my 3DS is as good as dead. R.I.P 3DS 2011-2016.

Yes.

I mean you don't have to get a full hardmod. You can send it to @hundshamer and send your backup nand file to him and he can fix your bricked 3ds. It's cheaper than an actual hardmod.

Edit: it's like $20 for a restore.

He is in Sweden, or at least that's what his flag indicates. If he is, he his better off sending it to gamesquest1[/.USER].

Thanks for the tip. But I´ll have to pass.

It´s alright. I´m not doing it anyway. Although your help was much appriciated.

Seems like a waste if the console is able to be repaired.

Well there are a few complications since I need to tell my parents and be granted their permission (they'll be very skeptic) and then I'll have to pay I guess. Of course I want my 3DS back but am I able to do it? Pardon for the late answer. I haven't been active since.

EDIT: Ok, I miss my 3DS a lot. I have regrets for what I did. I crave it everyday.

well if you have some good friends, have them send it up and recieve it back
That way, your parents never know

Ok, it's isn't the most clean solution, doing things at the back of your parents, but if it's that and around €25 for fixing it or buying a new one, i sure knew what i would be doing

and @gamesquest1 is the best and most trusty one to send it to! he does an awesome job!

I'll consider it.

@hundshamer Aside from hardmodding, do you also restore bricked N3DS?

Yes, you can fix a brick via hardmod.
