Hi, I've got a European 3DS XL I want to region change from EU region to US region. (Please do not argue with me about why I don't need to & tell me I can play any region game I want, etc. I just want to do this.)
The first time through, I followed this guide:
https://3ds.hacks.guide/region-changing.html
After completing, I launch eShop. This is what happens next:
(In case the images don't show: I get asked to confirm a "IMPORTANT: New Country Setting: The country setting for your system has been changed since Nintendo eShop was last accessed." & click "Next." || "Use Nintendo eShop in the new country? Previous Country: Anguilla, Balance: £0.00, New Country: Anugilla, New Balance: $0.00" & click "Confirm." || "Error Code: 005-5958")
BTW, My selected region in my profile is the United States and I never set it to Anguilla. I think it's just choosing it because it's the region at the top of the list of regions in the settings.
Anyway, I did some Googling and stumbled upon this guide ( https://github.com/Plailect/Guide_RedNAND/wiki/Region-Changing ) which says you're supposed to delete your account on your original region first before doing the region change?? The first tutorial said no such thing.
So I region-changed BACK to EU and was able to access the eShop just fine. I deleted the eShop account from the eShop settings.
Then I repeated the original guide's tutorial again ( https://3ds.hacks.guide/region-changing.html ) to change BACK to US region once again, but still ended up with the same error.
What's the secret? Has anyone successfully accessed the eShop after switching from EU to US region? Should I try the github tutorial instead?
P.S. BTW, there is one step in both guides I don't understand. The guides are holding my hand through the whole process up 'til this point (Section V of the 3ds.hacks.guide)
5. Update your region changed CFW SysNAND to the latest version
I have no idea how to do that. Is there a step-by-step somehwere? I assumed it wasn't that important. Could it be preventing me from accessing the eShop after region-changing to US?
