Hacking HOW TO USE A BACKUP NAND

[BenjaminStark88]

Hello, i am a newbie in CFW, i want to install LUMA on my OLD 3DS. In case of problem during the process
I want to know how backing up my NAND before could help me fix a possible Brick (soft/hard)?

if you follow https://3ds.guide
one of the very first steps is creating a nand backup.
which can be achieved by godmod9

Thanks a lot mingles. i read the guide since i am on a 5.1.0-9U, it's directly by installing boot9strap instead of getting Homebrew first.
In case of problem is there a process using a backup NAND for fixing the bricks?
sorry for my english form

For GodMode9, Simply navigate your SD to the nand.bin and select it, select the Nand Image Options selection, then select Restore (Safe). Keep in mind I recommend backing up your ticket.db so that all your games show up if you downloaded some after the time of the backup.

One last thing, do i mandatory need to put 3DS CARTRIDGE during (heard it on youtube videos) ?
it's an old 3DS on 5.1.0-9 Version.

If the guide says to. But I don't think it's necessary if the guide doesn't explicitly say it needs a cart.

Looks good, you'll be able to setup homebrew after installing B9S IIRC

THANKS YOU GUYS FOR YOUR HELP & GUIDANCE.
I FOLLOWED STRICTLY THE INTRUCTIONS

If you brick BEFORE a successful installation of B9S, then you need a hardmod to unbrick.

No you don't, unless your dumping a cartridge rom you don't need a cartridge inserted.
