Hello all,
Through a lack of forward planning I may have met with a terrible fate. Hopefully someone here can suggest what I can do next, or if not, feel free to use me as a case study of "how to be a nublet".
Long story short, I recently sold my old 3DSXL and put the money toward a pre-owned "new" 3DS. It was on stock firmware 10.3. I wanted to have A9LH / CFW functionality, so I followed through all of Plailect's tutorial, taking all the suggested backups along the way. No errors, great guide - all went smooth. This has left me with a sysNAND-only Luma CFW at 11.0, with FBI, the Homebrew Launcher, and emuNAND9 (plus a couple other tools).
First question - should I be able to reach Gateway mode in Luma 11.0 CFW (mine doesn't - black screen after the dragon logo)?
Second question - Assuming Gateway doesn't work in this setup, any reason I can't use emuNAND9 to flash my sysNAND back to the first backup I took at the start of Plailect's guide, and start from scratch with a new plan?
Thanks in advance for your patience, and so sorry for asking obvious questions. I've tried searching and reading various threads here to find answers for myself, but at this point, I thought it'd be better to ask before making guesses and possibly screwing myself even harder than I might already have done...
