Hacking Bricked 3ds?

[The Real Jdbye]

@The Real Jdbye is suggesting that it is a bad wifi adapter from what he saw in the video then there wouldn't have been internet connection from the beggining.

That's what it looks like, but it would be a huge coincidence if the wifi adapter broke during him following the A9LH tutorial, so I don't know

Most like he didn't care to check internet connection before starting the hax.

That's not what I'm talking about. Anyway, wifi is enabled (the wifi LED is lit)

What do you mean?

Hey, I actually didn't try that. Will try it and see if it changes anything...

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------


Already did that

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------


So, is there something I can do to fix that? (besides buying another one?)

Are you able to turn wifi off at all?

The internet connection was fine before I started the hax.

Most like he didn't care to check internet connection before starting the hax.

Or checking if he has access to basic system settings

Yes, I can turn it off.

I think I'll just look for someone with technical knowledge to look at my 3ds for me. The problem seems a lot more complicated than I'll probably be able to solve on my own. Thanks everyone for the help anyway.

Like someone who can look at it in person, and if needed, do a hardmod for me to restore the system.

Prevention is always better than the cure. Callout to all noobs. Asking around should precede doing the hax not after. There is not much we can do for you once you have bricked because it usually requires a hardmod to do that. A hardmod would require more skill than the softmod that you just botched rushing into hacking your 3ds without thorough research.

Doing a hardmod on a Old 3DS XL is the easiest. You can research it here at GBAtemp.

I don't have knowledge in soldering, don't want to risk it (and making it worse than it is).

@weirdolk , what console do you have exactly ? n3ds, o3ds, 2ds ?

@weirdolk , what console do you have exactly ? n3ds, o3ds, 2ds ?

O3DS XL. The firmware was 11.0.0.33-U

It says in the OP... Guys, please read.
I've noticed at least 4 times where someone in this thread has suggested something which the OP has already tried. Please read the post before posting.

O3DS XL. The firmware was 11.0.0.33-U

ok, do you have really old game cartridges ? (by that, i mean cartridges that have firmware updates lower than 2.1, you can look here and sort by "firmware")

Hmm, no. But I know someone who might have. Can I recover my console with it?

not sure, but i know there is a key combo that is supposed to make you boot straight into a game cartridge, so if you don't need to update to run the game, you could boot straight into it, and with a bit of luck, be able to go back to home menu, but i'm really not sure if it will work

Do you know what "key combo" is that?

but saddly, it apparently only works if you use a factory state 3ds :/

I see... Thanks anyway.

And it still freezes if you turn on the 3DS with wifi disabled?
