Probably should have waited for the all clear or denial from someone who knows before trying to do thatBad news:
Somebody cut the F0F1.bak into firm0.bin + firm1.bin and directly restored them with GM9, then blue-screen bricked.
gm9 probably assumed those files were decrypted, so it encrypted them and wrote junk to firm0 and firm1.Bad news:

firm0firm1.bak is a raw dump that is encrypted with a console-specific keystream.is the firm0firm1.bak file console specific like otp.bin? or same as other peoples firm0firm1.bak?
so firm0firm1.bak is same as others firm0firm1.bak dump... and the way to unlock/dump it is via key which is different on each other console...firm0firm1.bak is a raw dump that is encrypted with a console-specific keystream.
It even did this on copying firm0.bin to SYSNAND VIRTUAL?gm9 probably assumed those files were decrypted, so it encrypted them and wrote junk to firm0 and firm1.
It's always sensible to keep backups, it's impossible to say whether you will or won't need it in the future.i already deleted my firm0firm1.bak after upgrading to b9s
did u check if each firm0firm1.bak are different checksums?It's always sensible to keep backups, it's impossible to say whether you will or won't need it in the future.
It blows my mind that people don't make/keep backups, I mean these are potentially permanent changes being made to expensive hardware.
I have like half a dozen 3DSes, I still keep a backup of each one I've modded. Just in case.

im just afraid that someday firm0firm1.bak will be a requirement on future hacks, cuz i already deleted my firm0firm1.bak after upgrading to b9s
Note that firm0firm1.bak and sector0x96.bak in the /boot9strap/ folder on your SD card are only needed in the event of a failed boot9strap install. Once you have installed successfully, you can delete the entire boot9strap folder.
There are no NAND backup methods during the B9S installation with the guide(tm)'s provided steps and softwares except either B9STool for DSiWare exploiting or hardmod.Why wouldn't you just restore a backup without safe options using GodMode9/D9/etc? It works the same way A9LH did in the sense you can remove it by restoring a backup, unless you installed sighax.
There are no NAND backup methods during the B9S installation with the guide(tm)'s provided steps and softwares except either B9STool for DSiWare exploiting or hardmod.
So restoring F0F1 backup is the only general software method to uninstall B9S in this system.
Also, since the guy wants to uninstall B9S so a NAND backup with B9S is useless (only useful for hardmod-restoring bricked console).
If someone wants Nintendo's help, he/she must uninstall any exploit to avoid the console's repairment to be rejected by Nintendo.why would you want to uninstall b9s though? doesn't make much sense to me

We can't know what professional users are thinking about.and then you'll get it back on latest fw with no option to go back... (yet)
if your 3ds is beyond the currently available homebrew tools then it's better to get a new 3ds in my opinion. then maybe get it fixed later on.
Yes there are. If you have A9LH and you're updating to bootstrap, dump a backup first.There are no NAND backup methods during the B9S installation with the guide(tm)'s provided steps and softwares except either B9STool for DSiWare exploiting or hardmod.

Yeah you can fix with a hardmod as long as you know what has been written to the firm sectors, but as always a nand backup is always betterDo we really care about those firm and sector dumps in case of Something Bad happening or can we fix any brick with a b9s hardmod?
