Homebrew Sorry to Pester, Have a Few Questions.

[Luglige]

I've been out of the 3ds scene for a long time after I bricked my 2ds trying to install a9lh. I've already wiped my sd card and backed up all the files, my question is how do I uninstall all the stuff I've installed without bricking my 2ds again? Can i just delete all the stuff on my root and just go about reinstalling everything? As I had a SysNAND & an EmuNAND RxTools settup but I wanna use Luma. Can i just delete everything? Then flash my 9.2 backup using Magnethax/ntrboothax whenever it gets released? After that should I then install Luma3ds, boot9, Godmode like 3ds.guide said? Can someone give an easier route or is everything just fine and dandy for me?

 

[Luglige]

btw thanks for any help.

Backtrack for a second. What kind of brick are we talking about here? Does it even boot?

It'll show a bootrom error. Generic a9lh brick.

Well actually that's not a generic A9LH, the normal brick that I've mostly encountered would just be a solid black screen. So it shows the blue bootrom screen? So you can't boot into any kinds of payloads? No recovery mode?
So long as it's not an MCU brick, it can be fixed. You can either restore it with a hardmod or wait until magnet hax is released.

Hm, I did get a solid black screen before. Now it shows Blue Screen, whats the recovery mode button combination and if I do it will I still be able to hack it?

You can boot into recovery mode by holding A+R+L+Up(DPad), while booting the system. It will allow you to update and recover any issues that way. The catch being that even though you can hack every single OFW with B9S, you still need an entrypoint. So doing it this way can be hacked, but you will still need either a hardmod or a second system that is already hacked to do a DSiWare hack.

So I'll have to wait for ntrboothax?

Yeah, basically or buy a new system.
I mean, it's pretty cool knowing it is fixable, but not without a hardmod and or magnethax.

So, second thing, as for the SD card stuff, can I just delete all of it and get a fresh start on the system? As I don't need emunand when i get boot9 and luma working. Right? Am i safe?

I really won't suggest that unless you literally want to start fresh and also reformat the system (it will still hold the information registered to the system.) I suggest holding onto everything until we know 100% what is needed to recover with magnethax.

okl thanks. I have all the SD stuff backed up anyway

Or do that too.

If I do decide to wipe everything, wouldn't my backup work? I know the emuNAND wouldn't, I do have backup of it, but I know my SD card couldn't fix it, so for everything but EmuNAND I would be fine right?
