Morning all, full disclosure: I broke my N3DS trying to hardmod it (destroyed a ZIF connector and another cable socket, now won't power up). I'm an idiot. So, moving on...
I've bought another New 3DS, brand new in box (got a real good deal on it) so it should come with a FW <10.7 and I'll be able to softmod it. I understand that if I ask Nintendo support nicely they'll allow me to redownload my old eShop purchases to the new device if I give them the old and new serial numbers. Obviously I can't do a system transfer as a) the old device is fubar and b) I don't want to take the new one up to the latest FW.
So, my question is what is the best order to set things up? Should I set up the new device without a NNID and softmod it, then once it's got emunand/CFW sorted on it set it up with my NNID and redownload my eShop purchases?
Any advice gratefully accepted...
