I'm thinking getting a Raspberry Pi to offer the service in the US for $15 + return shipping. It looks far easier than some of the 360 mods I've done.
That's pretty much what this thread is...I think we should start a thread for unbricking. Maybe a sticky for countries and location whereby people can possible can a mod performed on their devices or unbricking services.
Kinda like what XDA have for android phones unbricking.
For those who live in Australia, one of Gateway's resellers offers an unbricking service for $40 [ Australian dollars ].. http://www.ozmodchips.com/3ds-and-3ds-xl-blue-screen-unbricking-service-australia-p-523.html
...I was one of the guys offering free unbricks (not to steal your thunder, but you asked a couple posts up). I am unaware of another person (could be wrong). I am pretty much out of free services at the moment as I have gone back to work (just had a baby and now have my 40 hour + baby time obligations lol).
yeah, same connections to unbrick with raspberry pi, as to downgrade, so if you have a raspberry pi you can unbrick using the same setupI know that the mini usb port i just installed is used to downgrade my firmware, but could it also be used to recover from a brick? Not that I might have any hopefully since I intend to stay away from b2.
I may have to adopt your methods.
