Hi,
I am having issues with an O3DS XL. It is a friend's console which he has asked if I can have a look and see if it is fixable.
The story that I have been given is "I did something to it to delete a past user but can't remember anything about it. I have no sd card and no information about it", and then it has BSOD. The SD Card which was in the console when he gave it to me was corrupt. He has no NAND Backup, and as far as I am aware he has not performed any CFW Mod on it.
So I have installed a Hardmod to dump the NAND, with the idea of trying to fix the BSOD using this guide:
How to unbrick your 3DS without a sysNAND Backup with a hardmod and Boot9Hax - Hackinformer
I have successfully dumped the NAND a number of times and compared them. The dumps all match and when opened in a Hex Editior, look to be complete. I have used the B9S Hardmod exe to create a patched NAND image, no issue.
The problem starts when trying to write the NAND image back to the console. I repeatedly get an error of 1117 I/O error on win32diskimager. I have tried to write back to the NAND using etcher on Ubuntu and still not able to write to the NAND. The SD Lock switch is present and in the correct orientation on my adapter. I know that the card readers I have tried are compatible as I have used the same readers for reading and writing the NAND on my n3DS console. They were actually bought for this reason. I have made a couple of adapters with varying wire lengths, just incase this is an issue.
If anybody may be able to assist or recommend a solution for this, I would be very grateful, as I am at a loss now. I don't believe that the console is beyond repair, but if somebody knows otherwise, please let me know. XD
The Error code on the BSOD is as follows:
BOOTROM 8046
ERRCODE: 00F800FF
F8F8FFFF FFFFFFFF
00000000 00000000
The Console does not boot to system and never has done for the time that I have had it. According to the owner, it was fine until what happened above.
Thank you in advance for any help anybody is able to offer.
I can upload any pics later if required.
