Thank you so much, Sir! That's what I did, and things are well with my 3ds again. I can now play games, and also install things!
@Quantumcat Thank you so much, Quantumcat! Sorry I was not able to utilize your advice early on. I should've followed your instructions to the dot before looking for other ways to fix it.
To all:
I am not quite done yet, since...
1.) I would like to know how I will be able to access Decrypt9 even when I have Godmode9 on.
I can't seem to access the Decrypt9 even by doing the proper procedure (right_D9WIP.bin = pressing, and holding the right DPAD button before turning the 3DS on)
and when I choose the "Decrypt9" option in Godmode9, I get an error..
2.) How I will be able to 'genuinely' acquire the 'files9' folder. Since I wasn't able to see it in my root, and just created a folder and named it 'files9'.
Maybe that is the source of my problem, but.. I am not sure
Thank you so much for helping a guy out! Cheers!
