Hacking Bricked my New 3ds XL

[taygomi]

Hi,

i briked my New 3ds XL some time ago. Now im trying to repair it somehow, but i have no clue what to do.
The 3ds boots into the message that "Failed to mount CTRNAND". I can access the Luma3ds v8.1 configuration and godmode.

Any suggestions what neccessary to get this device working again?

"Failed to mount ctrnand" is lumas way of saying "Your firmware is too damn old!"

Update your b9s version and your luma version. And then update. This should do the trick.

How did you brick it? Did you restore your NAND backup? Did you try performing a CTRTransfer?

You should also be using Luma3DS v10.1.3 (the latest version as of this post).

i forgot to set up a Wi-Fi connection during the process. i performed a reboot in order to connect it to my Wi-Fi; i guess that destroyed it.
i already bought a 3ds gold card a performed the hack with the magnet...and i tried a ctrtransfer before without success.

Luma boots with pretty much every version of the official firmware (on very old versions with reduced functionality).

Failed to mount CTRNAND or CTRNAND FIRM is not a "firmware too old" error. It is what you get if the firmware is damaged, CTRNAND empty (or even missing when opening GodMode9).

Make sure you have the latest GodMode9 version and give CTRTransfer Type D9 a try. Read the instructions carefully and don't skip the SD card check.

Good luck!
