You can Format System Memory at any time, but I don't think that'll solve the 007-2001 error code of being locked out of EUR eShop. Was your n3DSLL a special edition with preinstalled demos or bundled game titles? If it was, yours might have been already locked in to JPN eShop when those were preinstalled at factory.Thank you for replying (you're gold)....
It was brand new never connected to anything, used ntr card hax to applt b9s, used gm9 to do eur ctr transfer and only then did I connect to internet and update to latest
I guess I'm wanting to system format to see if I can get shot of the Japanese notifications and now it's kinda 100% euro it will only display english ones after a format.
Edit... I've just tried to access the European eshop and I get the below error message
-snip-
Does this mean I'm f*cked then ?
Can I still system format safely ?
TIA

Some have reported successfully region changing their [ n3DS / n3DSXL ] with access to that adopted region's eShop. The process involves System Transfer between two n3DS(XL) systems {not sure if one has to be legit or native to the target region}, unlinking + relinking + creating new NNID, system reformat, and sysnand restores.

I believe this might be a way to gain EUR eShop access on your JPN n3DSLL by spoofing or injecting its ITCM at boot with a (real), unbanned EUR n3DSXL's OTP.

- ITCM - instructions tightly coupled memory
- OTP - 'One time protection' containing console unique identifiers permanently flashed or burnt to the ARM SoC/CPU.
