Hacking List of possible ways to brick your 3DS/2DS/N3DS.

[dankzegriefer]

From my personal expierence just today, I hit my console because I was playing Tomodachi Life and it bricked for about a minute then it ran as normal again *no savedata lost*

If it's temporary, it's not a brick.

yay

Add to the list if you perform a system format on a N3DS while on 2.1 you will brick.

That would only require an edit on Update on 2.1, because the base error is the same: N3DS acting as an O3DS in disguise.

Acting as a O3DS will update as an O3DS; Acting as an O3DS will format the system as an O3DS. And so on...

EDIT: Done.

hello guys!

i have a issue i have done this with my n3ds xl i don't know what to do now?!
what are my options what kan i do?
-----------------------------------
Updating/Formatting a New 3DS via System Settings on 2.1


Since there's no New console that officially supports versions lower than 4.x, updating via System Setting after the 2.1 downgrade will brick your console for sure. Why this bricks is because you're running a Old3DS-exclusive version, and if you try to update or format the system
------------------------------------
can i unbrick my n3ds xl with a hardmod?...i have the nand backed up for this console

If you have a nand backup from the actual console you can always unbrick with hardmod.

I got a little pissed installing a controller mod and may or may not have melted the nand chip on my old 2ds with the soldering iron.

I think you forgot about "holding a magnet to the NAND chip"

I think you forgot about "holding a magnet to the NAND chip"

NAND flash isn't affected by magnets for the most part. "Busting the Biggest PC Myths"

"A magnet powerful enough to disturb the electrons in flash would be powerful enough to suck the iron out of your blood cells"

Well I'll be... I guess you learn something new everyday, but wouldn't that only apply to a static magnetic field (holding the magnet) and not a changing field (magnets on tip of super fast disc/fidget spinner)?

add this to your list: deleting several files from your sysnand without checking what files they are
