Hacking Black screen of death on a N2DS with CFW

[JohnIsBroken]

Hiii I actually have a problem that I need help with, so I was playing a game on my new 2ds and paused it. When I returned the game had frozen and so I turned off the console, when booting it back up im greeted by just a black screen, and the lights at the bottom still light up. I can access the Luma3ds menu with the L,R, D-pad down, A, and select. I tried rebooting the console but I just get jumbled text. Any help??

Do you have a NAND backup you can restore?

 

[JohnIsBroken]

A NAND backup should have been the very first thing you did once B9S was installed.

I recommend performing a CTRTransfer instead.

I know, but the sd card i used didnt have enough space required but i thought it had enough and i was wrong. So, I was going to buy one with a bigger size this weekend to do that. Also, the guide says version 11.5.0 but mine is on 11.13.0, and I used the browserhax method if that’s important.

If you don't have the ability to make a NAND backup, for whatever reason, you should not hack your 3DS until that changes.

Please follow the CTRTransfer guide above and see if that fixes your problem.

Alternatively, what happens when you boot your system without an SD card?

It is still the same thing, but now that I thought about it. I remember my O3ds was homebrewed and I believe i made a NAND Backup for it. Is there any way to use files from that NAND to fix it?

No, you need to perform a CTRTransfer. Your NAND backup from your other system is system-specific. Do not restore it to a different system.

Ok I will, and it will work with an N2ds on 11.13.0 right? Cause I read the guide and it specified 11.5.0 version.

The current system version does not matter when performing a CTRTransfer.

Oh ok, I’ll try it right now and reply with results

You must use a bittorrent client, such as qbittorrent. It says this under the required reading.

So, I got the thing and downloaded it and the .bin file isn’t in the zip folder. What now??

If you downloaded it properly, you have what you need.

Please be specific. What is the name of the file? Are you sure it finished downloading?

Yes, it said completed on the torrent. Also, the folder was called CTRTransfer.Type.D9.v1.9, with a file called CTRTransfer (Type D9).gm9
