Hacking Bricked N2DS XL by replacing tickets.db

[Silent Hell]

Okay, first off, I thought I had a NAND backup. Turns out, I forgot that part. I basically wanted to transfer all my games/content from my N3DSXL to my N2DSXL and thought that simply copy pasting the tickets.db would work. Turns out it doesn't. I DO have access to godmode9 but I don't know what to do besides that. I do have a F0F1_NEW3DS.bin from when I installed b9s with DSIware but I'm not sure if it'll help/nor do I know what to do with it.

Any ideas?

Couldn't you just have waited a week and done a normal system transfer?

How do you think I hacked it to begin with? I DID a system transfer but the content I wanted was GBA VC injects and fan translations.

I guess you can try a ctrnand transfer from your old system to the new one. decrypt9 or godmode9(I think).
The goal now is to get it unbricked.

Make sure you do a nand backup on your new2ds before you ctrtransfer.

It worked. Thank god. I'll make sure to triple check if I have my damn nand backup every time now.

One last question. This won't have any side effects now will it? My N2DS doesn't think it's a N3DS now does it?

No, 11.5 synced up the new3ds/2ds firmwares so they're running the same titles. They run in a context sensitive manner based on the system they're on so it should work right.

Hi guys,
Srry this is off topic but didn't want to start new one.

I looked everywhere for a N2DSXL NAND pinouts with no luck.

Trying to hardmod the new console, any clue?

Can I DSiware hack my JP N2DSLL with hacked US O2DS? I read they have to be the same region, but is there a way yo change the region of the hacked o2ds?

Region changed systems can't system transfer. Or at least, no one has reported being successful doing a system transfer with a region changed console.

Thanks, I'll wait for the hardmod information then. Need to know the pinouts.

I'll apologize in advance for not being particularly on topic.

I read this the last few days as "N3DS XL," but now knowing I was wrong, dude, what the hell?

Disassemble console, trace from emmc to pads...find the pads...

Guessing you've found them and not gonna share them? x'P

Haven't bought one yet. Images online are non existent as well.

Here is a good photo, i just don't know which trace/pad is which

There's this guy:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/new-2ds-xl-motherboard-pictures.475285/

He claims there are no NAND test points on the system.

I doubt there isn't, they just might not be directly near the chip.

In worst scenario, we would still be able to scrape the trace to expose copper and solder there.

I just need to know which is which, or any hints how to identify cmd, clk, data then I'll find them.

My guess is the resistors are the test points

At the same time, I said a long time ago, the only way to stop a hard modder is to remove the test points.

As for NTRhax, N probably is not aware of it's existence. They may think it's hocus pokus...



@zoogie I was indeed correct, the resistors are the test points alt points can be found on the backside of the board as well.

Just curious, is anyone shipping a new2dsXL to you for science or otherwise?
It'd be nice to have a second opinion aside from the guy in that link I posted.
