Hacking Complete console screw up

[McWhiters9511]

alright i may install a9lh sometime to use wit gateway emunand. i would use a format tool im my gateway emunand but im not completely positive it my my emund. i am fairly certain i have one but they are linked because changing themes affects both but the layout is different. would it be safe to use a format tool in gateway mode?

Riddle me this, we are all in agreement that while in emuNAND nothing in sysNAND can be modified.

If we work off this axiom then the only thing that can possibly mess up your sysNAND is a file in the Nintendo 3DS folder since they were linked.

Do you have a backup of the folder? Maybe you can see if you restore a backup the problem is fixed?

I'm at a loss, don't know how gateway works, but at this point my hunch is something happened to your sysNAND. Do u have a backup?

Not totally, it's not fully bricked so at least that's good. You could prob A9LH the console and do a ctrnand transfer which will prob fix the issue, but I would make a backup of your NAND now prior to doing anything at this point. I know it's not ideal but at least you will be able to restore system to working order.

Is it an old 3ds or new?

Before someone Suggest to you an OTPLess install of A9LH think it twice thrice and 4 times over make sure your MicroSD is good isnt Riddles w/ any sort of FS Errors as people are bricking w/ Bad/Fake/Chinsy SD's with this method. if your realy afraid of a brick go w/ the Normal means for now.

safea9lhinstaller 2.5.1 should check SD status before installing, I think this should be OK.

@McWhiters9511 if you still have the Stock MicroSD, that should be good for teh process Just in case

safea9lhinstaller 2.5.1 should check SD status before installing, I think this should be OK.

come to mind yea it should for the Op to be Butt-stabber paranoid, the Stock MicroSD that came w/ the unit should be solid enough (i used the Stock one that came w/ ,my O3DS when i dive dinto the A9LH Isntall before we had the Guide and it was a "Flash n Pray" for the 2.1 Downgrade process.

Can you even do a normal a9lh install on a n3DS with the latest version of the a9lh installer?

Use 2.0.3, but, since we already knowm the cause of OTPless brick, I think we don't need to go back.
