    Hacking Old 3DS seems soft-bricked, Arm11 Error on Boot

    Thanks for the clarification! It sounds like you saved me some reading You might think so, but I am a fool :rofl: Actually CFW has me more interested in these consoles than I ever was when they were current-gen. I wouldn't be here if I didn't have the bug! Unlike a lot of other modding...

    Hacking Old 3DS seems soft-bricked, Arm11 Error on Boot

    Hey, no problem :) At this point I'm willing to try anything, especially anything with magnets. Thanks for trying! Thanks for the tip! I've actually been doing a little research and while it definitely doesn't sound EASY it doesn't sound all that HARD either...I'll probably be back with a...

    Hacking Old 3DS seems soft-bricked, Arm11 Error on Boot

    Well this just intrigued the hell out of me, I'll give you that. Here's my results after a few minutes of fiddling, unfortunately no fixed O3DS here... I'm sure that this tip is legit for others, and my magnet is in the right place! I can boot into this error screen, move the magnet to under...

    Hacking Old 3DS seems soft-bricked, Arm11 Error on Boot

    Oh that's a shame, I don't think I actually backed up my saves with Checkpoint.... Maybe I'm screwed :/ As far as Daddy Nintendo goes, I'm sure they'd be willing to transfer a NNID from an old 3ds to a new one? I don't imagine that I'd tell them it was bricked by CFW ;) "I lost my O3DS and I...

    Hacking Old 3DS seems soft-bricked, Arm11 Error on Boot

    Now that's an interesting theory to try out! I have also heard this rumor, but as far as I know I can't make it work on an O3DS. I'd love to be proven wrong! Oh yeah for sure, I've been doing a little research and it definitely doesn't sound like a hassle...I'd have to consult a guide...

    Hacking Old 3DS seems soft-bricked, Arm11 Error on Boot

    Thank you very much for your help and advice for next steps! I really don't mind getting down and dirty with fixing hardware issues ... eventually ... but I think I'm going to try and do a system transfer to my new 3DS so I can play Pokemon Shuffle in the meantime. I wonder if I should post...

    Hacking Old 3DS seems soft-bricked, Arm11 Error on Boot

    Thanks for the tip, I can confirm this button combo sends me to the same Arm11 error screen as before (I would love to take a pic to prove it but I just don't have the dexterity) (EDIT: Photo added more to prove it to myself than anything haha.) (EDIT 2: Proof that Luma 10.2.1 is indeed sitting...

    Hacking Old 3DS seems soft-bricked, Arm11 Error on Boot

    Hey thanks for the suggestion, I actually meant to do this but it did slip my mind! (I followed the guide @ (https://3ds.hacks.guide/godmode9-usage.html#Restoring) and got the screen in photo #1. YAY! Unfortunately, when I hit restart, I got the screen in photo #2. BOO! Maybe I just did it...

    Hacking Old 3DS seems soft-bricked, Arm11 Error on Boot

    Hey all, I've been watching this topic with some growing anxiety over the holiday. While I'm holding out hope that there is someone out there who can help me bring this 3DS back from the dead (I can only hope they were just having a nice Xmas and not checking GBATemp :)), I'm changing my plans...

    Hacking Old 3DS seems soft-bricked, Arm11 Error on Boot

    You got it. Here's the familiar error code I get on startup (pic #1) and the Luma3DS Configuration menu that is showing it's v10.2.1 (booted from CTRNAND)

    Hacking Old 3DS seems soft-bricked, Arm11 Error on Boot

    I believe that it is 10.2.1, but I don't know how to check for sure. My belief that it is the current version stems from running the "Setup Luma3DS to CTRNAND" script in the GM9 Megascript, though. AFAIK, this installs the same version "boot.firm" on the root of my SD card to the CTRNAND? If...

    Hacking Old 3DS seems soft-bricked, Arm11 Error on Boot

    Hello, I posted my problems in the Homebrew Discord and wasn't able to get a response. I am hoping that I can find someone here who can help, or at least tell me what is going on with my Old 3DS! Every time I boot, I get this error message: (see screenshot 1). I am running the newest versions...
