Hi,

I think my kids might have bricked our n3ds. It was setup with luma3ds to boot gateway on start and after pressing l+r and select you would be able to run games with gateway etc.

However I noticed that a system update was downloaded a few days ago and before I was able to handle that I think the kids might have installed the update.

11.0.0-33 system update was released on May 9, 2016
11.1.0-34 system update was released on September 13, 2016. I think its this upgrade that the kids did.

Anyways the screen is completely black when I start it and I can not boot luma or emunand9. I have tried to delete luma\config.bin but the screen is still black. I followed Plailects guide to a teeth when it was setup and all backups are saved.

Will i be able to revive my n3ds without a hard mod?

actually I would wait as their is a PoC for what is called magnet hax. If you have a nds flashcard that is rewritable (its a PoC Proof of concept. So Give it some time) But essentailly if the flashcard is supported when its released. you can unbrick with a magnet and a flashcard. (its because at bootrom, the 3ds does a check for start select and x if those buttons are pressed it will boot from a ntr (ds) cartridge. Or try to. (and the magnet is needed to put the system immediately into sleep mode as that was nintendo's way of preventing people from discovering it.) So in theory you could recover from there. And Must I say its at bootrom. So that essentially means it can fix all bricks. But due to being a proof of concept you may have to wait.

If you wait a short time you will be able to fix it with a particular DS flashcart. If you don't have another modded 3DS to flash the flashcart then you might have to buy a PowerSaves device. But wait for the release.
Did you try booting into safe mode and updating from there? L+R+Up+A held before and during power up. You'd end up on 11.4 but you can still mod it with a second modded console (or DS flashcart + PowerSaves when the release happens).

OK, thanks. I will wait a while and see what happens. I have a gateway 3ds and an old Ace card 2.

Safe mode doesn't work. Still just a black screen.

    @Xdqwerty, People who create revival services for the Wii end up in disaster, same goes for Pretendo lol.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
