Well, as the title says, I installed regular 3ds xl firmware onto a new 3ds xl back when it was necessary to downgrade to hack your 3ds. I did not make a nand copy but I can get my hands on a ntrboot compatible r4 card if that will fix anything. The 3ds used to be able to open recovery mode but then not go further.
One day I was able to open the menu somehow and it was working albeit flicking different colours like crazy. I tried to insert a game to update it but that just made things worse. Now the 3ds doesn't turn on, when you power it on normally it shows "An error has occurred. Hold down the power button......" on the bottom screen with the colours flickering and recovery mode just shows a black screen. Though it does turn the yellow network light on which it doesn't in normal power on.
Can the r4 card somehow help or am I screwed? This brick happened like a year or so ago but I was wondering if I needed to replace the motherboard or not.
