Hacking 3ds bricked (corrupted boot.firm in sysnand ctrnand please help!)

[JT3ds]

My 3ds is bricked because th boot.firm was corrupted in sysnand and ctrnand

Is there any way to fix this?

Thx

Edit: My 3ds is working again thx!

If boot.firm is the only thing corrupted then your 3DS isnt bricked at all... Just replace the boot.firm on your NAND with a working one with GodMode9? Using boot.firm from SD should still be possible after all.

How can you brick your device with boot.firm file? Just put latest boot.firm to root of your SD and you should be booting again.

How would I make it boot from the sd card?

That's how it normally boots. Puting boot.firm to your SYSNAND CTRNAND is just additional step. Normally it boots from SD.

Did you not follow 3ds.guide??? You just copy boot.firm from the Luma zip to the root of your SD Card. Then you can use godmode9 to replace the corrupt boot.firm on NAND.

I’m unable to do this because as soon as I turn it on it turns right back off

when having boot.firm on SD root?

Did you try it with the proper files on your SD card?

Just copy the boot.firm from latest luma release to the root of your sd card

Follow these steps:

1. Copy the Luma3DS 8.1.1 boot.firm to the root of your SD card and attempt to power on your 3DS.
2. If that doesn't work, copy the Luma3DS 7.1 boot.firm to the root of your SD card and attempt to power on your 3DS.
3. If that doesn't work, copy the Luma3DS 7.0.5 arm9loaderhax.bin to the root of your SD card and attempt to power on your 3DS.

I’m fairly sure... I’ll send you a folder with a copy of all my contents of the SD card

See my suggested steps above. Following those steps in order should allow you to solve your problem.

A boot.firm on the sd card has a higher priority than a boot.firm on the NAND
