Well that's definitely a possibility but I don't think there's anyway that'll just happen right?
People who aren't into this type of stuff are dumber than you'd like to think.
Looks like that exactly happened
I was mostly wondering if there was anything I had to worry about with bricking and such but this threads completely irrelevant now because I messed up
Oh I see. Do you have a sysnand backup?
I don't think so but is there any backups floating around the internet or is that just not possible to use even if there was one
No you have to use a backup from your own device. But see my post above - you need to do option 2.
I actually think I do have a back up I was reading other threads and apperantly I did while setting this stuff up and just did it without thinking
A hard mod means soldering wires onto the 3ds PCB so you can reflash the NAND. If you have a 9.2 sysnand backup from your console you can reflash that to get back to 9.2. If you don't, there is a way of modifying a 11.0 NAND image to allow downgrading to 9.2, but you'll need a hardmod to flash this too.
Well that clears things up a bit but thank you I still feel like a complete idiot I was only a few things away from never having to mod my 3ds again
Don't worry, it's easily done. I bricked my 3ds too but fortunately I already had a hard mod installed so was able to recover quickly. You won't regret the hard mod if you have it done as you can also then install a9lh with absolutely zero risk and then boot directly into CFW with no emunand or menuhax.
Better to pay someone to do it: by the time you buy a soldering iron, adapter, wires, solder, dremel, etc it will cost about the same, plus if you pay someone you can guarantee it working and not breaking your console. Your flag says you're in the US, hundshamer is an approved hardmodder there.
Proof that ARM9loaderhax is better than all other exploits because all other exploits are temporary and vulnerable to removal.
