Hello
I own a 2ds XL that has been hacked, I dont really know how to specify it, it has Luma installed on it and a custom firmware. About 1 year ago it stopped working, when I turned it on both screen stayed black, no sound and only the blue light was on. I tried combinations of inserting or ejecting the sd card and game card and I tried to boot into recovery and configuration or safe mode but nothing.
Fast forward to this month, my friend who owns another hacked console took a look at it and messed around with trying to update the files on the sd card and replacing it with his own and things like that but he didnt achieve anything, and at that point I just gave up hope on it ever working. But today just out of boredom I tried holding down select while it booted again and this time the screens flashed, the top screen had a white line and the bottom screen had this text "Enable loading FIRMs and system modules. This isn't needed in most cases. Refer to wiki for instructions. Booted from CTRNAND via B9S." This flashes for half a second then turns off instantly. I have hacked my normal 3ds a few weeks ago and the guide I followed tells you to backup certain files. I used this guide (I assume an older version) to hack the 2ds xl and on my old computer I found two of those files that I suspect belong to the 2ds XL, a sysnand.bin and a sysnand.bin.sha but nothing else (with the 3ds I have 5 files backed up so I dont know if those two are even worth anything). Currently I dont have an adapter to check what files are on the SD card so for now Im only curious if someone who is known with 3ds hacking thinks this system is able to function again or not, and if it is what should I do.
I will also note that I dont remember if the 2ds xl crashed and stopped working while I was using it or just when I tried to boot it up one day, and before my friend tried messing with it the system started turning off on its own seconds after we turned it on.
Thank you for reading and sorry if this text is a bit messy.
