Hacking 2DSaver (Beta) - Fix your 2DS format brick - Testers needed

[daxtsu]

I don't have a Japanese 2DS to test this, but I do have a Japanese OoT cart (with 9000FEC2 cart ID). Anyway, here's the file I got from Powerdumps3DS after running 2DSaver_installer.

Thanks very much. You can tell the chip id from decrypt9's gamecart dumper options-> dump private header option. The rightmost byte on the 2nd line should tell you, ex.
Selected: [Dump Private Header]
Cartridge ID: 9000FEC2

The "45" ones seem to be more rare.

My dump came from a 9000FEC2 chip/card, then. Will update the post above.

I just looked at my euro Zelda and it is 9000FE45.

I will install and dump it in a few minutes.

I've attached two new apps to the OP to assist with 2DSaver:

2DSaver_installer:
This .3dsx app will install 2DSaver to Zelda OOT very conveniently. It can be installed alongside oot3dhax and gameplay saves.
It displays the contents of all 3 slots so you know where best to put it. (wish the oot3dhax installer had this)

Powerdumps3DS:
This .cia will dump your 2DSaver injected OOT cart save to a powersaves3DS compatible save for other people to install 2DSaver without a second 3ds. Please help me out and do this people you only need an OOT cart and cfw. EUR and JPN are lacking right now for both the 2C****** and 45****** chip IDs. I considered making a new thread for this app, but I don't see it getting much use outside of OOT. I could be wrong, heh. Thanks to @Myria for the powersaves header RE that I ported for this app.

Still working on Cubic Ninja JPN support and maybe 9.2 support.

Quoting this for a new page. Keep those powersaves coming people
We still need powersaves from all regions, check the bottom of the OP for what's missing.

And I have some cool news: this works with freakyforms cart too. : )
Only caveat is it's a 4.x game so it will only work on a 3x-6x system (no dice for 2.1). I don't know what the actual minimum firm for FF is so I'll have to check that later. Directions: rename the payload.bin/2dsaver.bin to otherapp.bin and do everything else normally for freakyforms and 2dsaver.
edit: (this may also work with stickerhax lol, will have to test later).

I may have a "45" USA OoT cart, I'll check later for you if you need one for USA

I have test with 2.1.0-4U semi-bricked 2DS with OoT3D.
OoT3D has 4.2.0 cartridge firmware, but it's still bypass to launching from 2.1.0.
So to conclusion, It works on 2.1.0 by using a OoT3D. I unbricked my friend's 2DS.


BUT I had a another problem. After the recover from semi-brick. I can't update this console system.

https://gbatemp.net/threads/stuck-on-2-1-0-after-ctrtransfer-a9lh-weirdo-brick.460351/

I don't know why, but maybe it could be conflict between 2DSaver and a9lh cause this situation?

I'm not sure if this is a 2dsaver related issue even, but go to your system settings / other settings / profile and make sure your profile name, birthday, and region are all set then try to update again.

Here is the save from my euro zelda cart id 9000FE45.

Hello my card id is 9000FEC2 and it's EU. So anytime I try to use your save It says my save is corrupted and deletes it. Help?

 

[kirugiru]

to all if you are impatient like me you will brick your conpsole to a black screen if you stupidly upgrade your system. this is still possible with the update i did with the oot updater. its now on a black screen. guess i bricked my 2ds fully lmfao. luckily i got a second one but...................

Someone with EUR cart with chipID c2*** needs to dump their 2dsaver injected save. Sorry, I can't help here.

When on firm 2.1, always restore a backup nand from a higher firmware that you should have made before you downgraded (if you were following the plailect guide). ctrtransfer 2.1 images are known to be unstable and really only intended to get your OTP, not for everyday use. When you update from a cart or internet, you're trying to normalize it as an 'everyday use' firmware. Don't do that. I'll add this warning to the OP in a little while.

So guys, i have a New Nintendo 3DS on 2.1.0, i accidantly formatted it on 2.1.0 and now have a Brick. I read the instructions and didn't get it.

I have:

- A second full functioning N3DS @ Luma CFW
- A Sky3DS (+) Cartridge

Now, what should I do?

I am in Germany. get the Boot failure screen. Can't access recovery mode (Keep staying in Blackscreen), and can't access any game cartridges. But didn't tried the Sky3DS Cartridge. Tell me just for the first, is it generally POSSIBLE to unbrick with this method with no need of a Hardmod?

Many thanks for any answers! U guys are very nice ppl.

This thread isn't for you. It's for 2DS owners who can't get past the initial setup because it asks them to lift the 3D slider, and the 2DS does not have one. You'll need a hardmod (only if you have a NAND backup though, if you don't, there's nothing you can do).

i heard that i can start decrypt nine with this.

You didn't have a9lh installed when you bricked so there's no way you can use Decrypt9. You'd need either a9lh or to have an unbricked console on the right firmware.

 

[Tugi1990]

I have an working n3ds @ luma cfw..

You can use Decrypt9 on it then, but that doesn't help your bricked console

If you have a NAND backup, you can still restore it with a hardmod.

 

[Tugi1990]

ok now my question: Can I either boot Cubic Ninja on the bricked one?
