Hey
Sorry for the long post but I'm in a bit of a pickle!
I have been following a youtube guide for the A9LH process.
Was also reading the github thread.
https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-4-(Getting-the-OTP)
I used tinyformat to format emunand, i did this twice.
Then created a backup called emunand_formatted.bin.
Backed this up to the computer and copied over the updated folder in "2.1.0E(Full)"
Then successful downgraded to 2.1
Selected the Unbrick FW 2.1 EmuNAND option.
At this point I forgot to validate the emunand downgrade as it was not in the video I was following.
I backed up this emunand and called it emunand.bin and flashed this over the sysnand.
During the sysnand flashing process I of remembered that I had neglected to validate the emunand that I was restoring to the sysnand.
No worries I thought, as i could just validate it after the flashing process and if it fails i can just restore my sysnand back.
But this is where the problem is!
The validation failed, for both emunand and sysnand. (They both the same at this point)
I tried to restore the sysnand.bin file that i originally created at the start of this process but it just states this error, "This is a slot0x5 (N3DS) type NAND image! Sorry you cant inject that..."
Long story short, im still in the OTP Helper menu right now, dont want to restart as it may likely brick the system.
Is there anything I can do to restore my old sysnand from here?
I have other backups of my sysnand from using cubic ninja and the gateway launcher.
Any help will be much appreciated, thanks in advance!
