Edit: Rewritten to (hopefully) be more clear.
have a NAND-modded, small New 3DS. The mod was installed by hundshammer, who has a lot of experience. I am relatively confident that he did a good job, especially since I did not begin having problems until a couple days after the mod was installed.
I had successfully performed an EU -> US region change, and was flashing back and forth between different NAND images. For a while, this worked fine.
At one point, however, I went from a 9.6 US NAND to a 9.6 EU NAND. I had successfully done this at least once before, but this time, something went wrong. Upon trying to open certain applications, the system would crash to a black screen with the standard "an error has occurred" message.
No problem, I figured—I had tons of NAND backups. I first tried flashing my 9.6 US NAND image, which had been working fine less than an hour ago. Same issue. I have since tried flashing other images, including a "vanilla" one that has never been touched by homebrew. All of these images used to work perfectly, but the problem refuses to go away.
Firmwares 9.0–9.2 run perfectly, but the problem returns as soon as I run a system update. I have not tested 9.3, but firmwares 9.4, 9.5, and 9.6 all experience the issue.
Does anyone know what could be happening here? What could cause an issue to persist across different NAND images? And lastly, is there any place other than the NAND and SD Card where rewritable data is stored? Thank you so much!
Things I have tried:
-Removing/replacing the SD card.
-Verifying that images are being written properly.
-Disabling Wifi.
-Updating via a Xenoblade game cart.
-Performing a system format before updating.
-Updating within emuNAND (this causes the problems to occur inside emuNAND)
Broken Software:
-NNID Settings
-Camera Applet
-Face Raiders
-Notifications
-Xenoblade
-eShop
-Amiibo settings
-MiiVerse, but only when an NNID is linked
