So I bought a cheap 3DS XL as I needed the NTSC motherboard from it. The seller didn't say it was running CFW, but said "the console will play UK games when the SD card is inserted" so I assumed as much, but figured removing the CFW would be pretty straightforward, having done it before. However, the SD card appears to be missing some necessary files (pic below) for full functionality. Although the 3DS does boot (when the SD card is present) and is region free, there are no third party apps installed, the console has been updated to Sys 11.5 and I cannot access Luma payloads on boot, so I can't think of any way of cleaning it up.
I've backed up the original contents of the SD card and the NAND with a hardmod, so I can mess about with it while trying to find a solution, if you've any suggestions....
Edit: So far I've tried brute forcing B9S over whatever the existing CFW by either browser, soundhax or hardmod method, but none of them work. Soundhax won't because there's no otherapp for 11.5, browser will go to the page but won't boot into B9SInstaller and the hardmod method gives me a blue screen.
I've tried playing around with the SD card file structure, but whatever I'd tried so far, I haven't been able to boot into Luma payloads.
