I was under the impression it would be unbootable but you could read out files from it. I did this once with a NAND not unique to another 3DS and it did work.
If it was a ctrnand (single partition) backup it was most likely decrypted

If it was a full nand backup, xorpads (or bootrom+source console otp) would have been required to even see the contents

The next step is, uh, wait for it...

finding another Old XL (bricked or not), removing the NAND+CPU+MCU, and replacing them with the ones from your broken console...

...this means professional BGA rework, not something that can be done without proper tools even by people who have hardmodded 50 DSis without ever breaking one

Its an Original Small one no xl one and yeah but try to find somebody who even does this has the stancils for it and the tools with the luck of not braking it and then in the end doesnt run with the system ? ( And on top that doesnt get payed a fortune for it )

So as it seems nobody can give me any help anymore to fix it / I ran out of options and I have been feeling horrible for the last few weeks I will put this thing to rest put it back together and just store it away somewhere

Only glanced at the first page of the thread and in case nobody else went there: @SirKelly how can you afford to buy a box of broken 3DS systems when you can't even afford some punctuation? Jebus....

You could also say it is pretty foolish and childish to obsess over somebody's punctuation. Or do you have a sever allergic reaction to bad punctuation?
Sure, and also people who make spelling errors on forums that underline bad spelling in red. You'll just see how foolish and childish it is when you pull that crap on a Resume.

My browser underlines most words I write in red. Maybe not everyone wants to use a foreign locale just to "fool" the spell checker?

Well, in Firefox I can choose the language by right clicking on the text box, but I don't think many people even know about it.
