    Hardware N2DS LL charges but doesn't turn on

    For sure. I’ve ordered an OEM battery and will replace as soon as it arrives. Thanks again!

    Hardware N2DS LL charges but doesn't turn on

    Hey y'all, thanks for the input! The 2DS is working. After the screwdrivers arrived, I checked the battery and the contacts were really gross (also looks like it's not OEM). I cleaned it a bit and reinserted it and the 2DS turned on. I haven't encountered any issues so far, so I'm considering...

    Hardware N2DS LL charges but doesn't turn on

    Hi! I just received a N2DS LL that I bought used on eBay. When I plug the console in, the orange charging light comes on, but the console will not turn on when I press the power button. The blue power light does not turn on at all. The images on the eBay listing showed the console powered on, so...

    Hacking [Question] Restoring save backup from before CFW

    Thanks again to both of you. For posterity, here's the method that actually worked: Use the steelminer exploit on friend's 3DS, which had my old friend code (my N3DS's friend code before I used system transfer to hack it) Once I had access to homebrew menu on my friend's 3DS, add...

    I can't believe we actually managed this. I thought this data was just gone. Thank you both so much!

    Hacking [Question] Restoring save backup from before CFW

    My god. Thank you for being so patient. Okay. I looked in the title folder and located my Animal Crossing DQVII folder and the .sav within. I used 3ds-save-tool and it successfully extracted the .sav! I now have four files: cardinfo.bin, save000.bin, save001.bin, and system.bin. What do I need...

    Hacking [Question] Restoring save backup from before CFW

    Yes, I generated a movable_part1.sed, where "movable" in the filename was initially my old friend code. When I open this file in a hex editor, it is almost entirely blank except for the first four bytes. Now this is interesting--my backups are nested in a "backup" folder my 3DS made. The...

    Hacking [Question] Restoring save backup from before CFW

    Ugh. No, they look like this: It looks like they're still encrypted, which I don't understand. Fuse-3ds successfully mounts the SD card backup. When I open my movable.sed in a hex editor, it's mostly zeroed out, except at 0x110~0x11F. I don't think that reflects the structure of a normal...

    Hacking [Question] Restoring save backup from before CFW

    I had to add an xml file to the same directory as the seedstarter .3dsx that enabled app targeting, basically. I've copied the folder structure containing the .sav files to my hard drive, yes. To be clear, the .sav files I copied are from the "backup" folder that my 3DS made when I backed the...

    Hacking [Question] Restoring save backup from before CFW

    OKAY. Man I wish I had just read up on steelminer. Sorry for wasting so much of y'all's time trying to get oot3dhax working. I now have my movable.sed. I can mount the SD card backup using fuse-3ds. However, I have no idea to get 3ds-save-tool working. I assume that, since I can mount the SD...

    Hacking [Question] Restoring save backup from before CFW

    I'm such an idiot. This whole time, I assumed steelminer required a paid game. I didn't realize Steel Diver received a freemium sequel. I'm downloading it on my friend's 3DS now. I blame ADHD for my singleminded pursuit of the most labyrinthine exploit method when a much easier one was mentioned...

    Hacking [Question] Restoring save backup from before CFW

    Real quick update before I go to sleep: The error I get in HBL Loader is documented here, and it doesn't look like there's a fix. Yellows8 closed the issue and told people to use Luma's built-in HBL, which doesn't help much for someone trying to use Rei-Six in order to launch an out of date and...

    Hacking [Question] Restoring save backup from before CFW

    I'm at work right now, but I'll do my best to address your post. I'm fairly certain the sploit-installer itself doesn't work with Luma. See here: When I try to run sploit-installer under Luma, I get the same error that the OP in that topic got: "00000002 The title this sploit_installer is...

    Hacking [Question] Restoring save backup from before CFW

    @TurdPooCharger Yes, that's an accurate summary of my situation. Though I'm still not sure what I can do with the movable.sed files I currently have access to. This is such a mess. Here's where I'm at right now: According to this and this, I can retrieve my movable.sed by running seedminer. I...

    Hacking [Question] Restoring save backup from before CFW

    @TurdPooCharger My understanding is that the movable.sed files for both my current N3DS and the O3DS are the same. I'll wait for your instructions though. Thanks! EDIT: Update: I've fumbled my way through seedminer and found a post on reddit (here) that says I should be able to retrieve my...
