Hardware reviving a N3DS

[daketi]

hi everyone, i have bricked N3DS while downgrading to 9.2(from 10.3 or 10.5 i dont remember exactly since it was like 4 months ago). I have no NAND backup. The exact error while downgrading was something to do with NATIVE_FIRM, I just read in a Spanish forum that it would be possible to save a bricked 3ds injecting a NATIVEFIRM with a hardmod. I have looked for more information and I didn't find anything. Any ideas??

Have you tried accesing the recovery mode updatescreen?

Yes and nothing happens, black screen.

Does the bottom screen say something like "An error has occurred" on boot?

Huh. My 3DS XL's NATIVE_FIRM had been randomly corrupted while launching the 9.2 browser exploit, I have the exact same thing that you have with the black screen in recovery mode. This had been so since March. I had never hardmodded it just because I knew I was banned from NNID services.
But for me, I had both NAND fat16 xorpads and backups. It's a very good chance that you're stuck here, but that's just what I think.

You were probably using an ancient version of sysupdater. You will need to get a hardmod to replace the native_firm.

Or at least I think that's what happened, it randomly went into sleep mode and after a hard reset it never turned back on with the same error.
