I know that title immediately makes me sound like a noob, but I've recently got an xl system and want to know if I can transfer my nand from my n3ds to my new n3ds xl.

I'm sure I saw the option for a nand transfer in one of the homebrew firms I used a while ago but not sure which one.
So is this a possibility now? Cos i know it used to be that nand is console specific and trying to restore a nand from another system would brick, but is that still the case?

I basically just want to transfer everything to the xl system without reinstalling all my games. I plan to system transfer to get my nnid moved over.

But if I'm moving the sd card to the new system, do I still have to delete the games and reinstall them all or is there a better way now?

Don't quote me on this, but I think that you can do system transfer without reinstalling everything. So you just simply do a system transfer, and then it asks you to insert SD from old system to the new one, so you don't have to reinstall everything. At least I think that there is an option for this kind of transfer.
Really don't quote me on this :D

I'll give that a try. It looks like the kinda thing I mentioned.

Will this transfer my nnid too? Since it's the ctrnand. Cos not sure how I would do a system transfer afterwards tbh
not sure if it transfer nnid. you can ask the author of the video in the comments section or maybe it's already been answered there.

  1. On the n3DS use GodMode9 to export all the tickets from ticket.db to your SD card.
  2. Perform a System Transfer from the n3DS to the n3DS XL. This moves over your NAND saves, friend code, moveable.sed and NNID. When prompted, just choose to move the original SD card over to the new console.
  3. Once system transfer is done, hack the the n3DS XL and use FBI to import all the tickets you previously exported using GodMode9
  4. Profit

OK so my 64gb card went full corrupt while following that video, so that didn't work.

I managed to restore my original system and install most games back onto it with a 32gb card instead. Did system transfer and it went well.

Only problem now though is that I can't inject my source ticket.db with decrypt9. It won't even find a ticket.db on my target system to dump. Don't want to but should I maybe open another thread about this issue, can't seem to find a solution anywhere. I tried a fresh copy of the payload but no dice.

That's why I didn't recommend doing that. You can try using GodMode9 to dump the individual tickets, other than that, not sure what you could do more.

I know but I'd already tried it before your post, I just spend time trying to recover what I could.

I did dump the tickets individually so I could do that, obviously it's just a bit more time consuming. But any idea why decrypt9 can't find my ticket.db, either to dump from console or to inject to console. It's the only option that doesn't work, I can dump and inject everything else if I wanted to.
