Hahaha, what a bad luck of a damn day. Jeez.
So I just wanted to play some Moon, which was my original intent here. I had started on N3DS XL, but kept getting GW card removed errors.
So I figured I'd get a CFW.
My N3DS XL bricked as I mentioned in this topic. Tried the test payload as well.
So I decided to play on my O3DS regular. Wouldn't run, so I decided to update emunand. Did it from the settings and everything. Double checked I was on 9.2 Emunand.
Well, it updated the sysnand somehow. It took literally a second to update and now I'm strangely on 11.0 and not 11.2..
So I figured I'd give it one more try with an O3DS XL. Got down to the 2.10 downgrade and now the github link won't load arm11.bin no matter what I troubleshoot. It says it's loading then freezes. Tried clearing everything, different SDs, redoing all the files, pressing select, checking the SD for the OPT, etc.
So I'm extremely exhausted now. Even though I had Moon preordered, I still wanted to play and was really enjoying the hour or so I played.
All I have left is another O3DS XL with a half broken nub and a brand new sealed 9.2 or below N3DSXL.
I also just saw that the N3DS regular will be $100 on Black Friday, so I'll definitely be picking it up since I always hated the XLs. Doubt it can be downgraded but at the end of the day, I don't even play the 3DS really. I have physical copies of OR, FEA and FEF which I've been trying to play for the better part of two years and I beat the rest I wanted to play. Part of the reason I didn't play it is because I hate the XLs lol.
Also, I wanted to send the N3DS to Nintendo because it would be covered under my credit card's extended warranty. I pay the $89, and then my CC would reimburse me. I also don't care about getting banned. I just wanted my N3DS XL working again.
Anyway, sorry for the blog. Just wanted to get it off my chest.
Lol...Literally just updated it to attempt to fix brick issues:
