So I bought this o3ds from a friend today, and turning it on and checking the FW raised some red flags. My friend knows absolutely nothing about 3ds exploits. He never exploited this or anything. Completely stock. And well... here are some pictures, what should I do?

Is it a franken-firmware? If so, I think the only thing to do is update it and then DsiWare downgrade it.
has to be because it has theme menu on <9.0.

Do a downgrade/ctrnand transfer if you can and it'll be normal again, not a huge problem.

I guess, but this system was 100% stock. No mods.
Is your friend the original owner?

I thought if you tried downgrading a frankenfirmware, that only worsened the problem. I'm probably wrong though.

I think so.
There's no real explanation, it has to have been downgraded to have the theme menu on anything less than 9.0. the browser version is wrong too, it should be -17 not -10. My bet is it has a downgraded browser (and presumably settings) for MSET (4.5.0-10), but that doesn't explain the theme menu (9.0.0-20) being there, or the amiibo options (9.6.0-24), or even why the system settings is showing 7.x.x because as far as I know there's nothing interesting that goes on there. Whoever's that was really did it up for you.

if you downgrade again, it'll only change the titles it missed the first time around. Either way, it cleans up the rest of it. Frankenfirmwares just make it a little weird to get into the browser sometimes if I recall.

depends on how screwed up the frankenfirm is. I mean, I've used a frankenfirmware as a daily driver before I had CFW so that I could continue to go online on purpose. Back then, my /r/3dshacks flair was "Proud FrankenFirmware User". Some frankenfirmwares can make the system unable to boot, some screw one app, some screw the browser.... frankenfirmware is any firmware with a mix of titles from different versions, I suppose. Anything can be wrong if you don't know which titles are wrong.

Most probably is a Franken-firmware made by a half update. He can try to run Decrypt9, if it does not boot, then try Browserhax :)

Better yet. On the Browser go to the settings and try to find the Browser version. Post it in here to see what browser does it have!

So I tried browser has with no luck. Connects to WiFi fine outside of browser. opening browser greets me with the, "You must accept user agreement"-blah blah blah screen twice, once the browser opens it tries to connect to the last page I opened, and fails because it disconnected from WiFi. I've tried re-configuring my WiFi, clearing browser save data, and other stuff. But nothing works.
BTW:Agreement screen shows up twice EVERY time i open the browser.

Uh, maybe its trying to open 2 browsers? This is really weird now. Only way i can see out from this is trying to install Ninjhax 1 since it does not need a browser(Hoping that the update wasnt pass 9.2)...

since they have a -10 browser they might have downgraded settings too, and then they should be able to use MSET to load decrypt9 and do an update that way. Worth a shot, at least.

do you have cubic ninja or a DS flash cart?

7.2 one and the one with a -10 browser both crash.
maybe you could try ocarina of time 3D, but I'm not entirely convinced you can open the homebrew launcher at all. I think the best bet is a DS flash cart for right now, but I'm beginning to see why this was up for sale :toot:

I actually do have a Ds flashcart. What do I do with it, does it have to be a specific kind? it's some kind of of r4 clone.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
