Homebrew How can I unbrick a Panda 3ds black screen brick?

[JinHyeon]

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a great day! I have a big issue with my Panda 3ds. I tried installing Majora's Mask 3D but the system shutoff during the install. The game seemed to have install completely when I turned the console on, so I ran the game. It stayed on the 3ds splash screen for several minutes and so I decided to turn off the console. Now the console powers on but the screens don't show up and the wifi led never turns on. I can access the recovery menu but I will not update the firmware. I can also access godmode but I don't have a nand backup. I am stomped on what to do. How can I unbrick a dev console without a nand backup?

try to boot without the SD Card.

If you do this I think you can get an arm11 error

Not sure if CTR Transfer work on dev unit, you can try to find the Majora Mask 3D title ID, and delete that from your SD see if that solve your problem.

You could delete the 32 character folder on the 3DS folder on your sd card (or back it upd if you care about its contents), and boot the system again. If it still doesn't reaxh the home menu, you need to perform a CTRTransfer.
