Hacking Can't unbrick 3ds blue screen

[sebamendoza201x]

Hi i have a 3ds xl with bluescreen brick so i tried with ntrboothax but godmode9 doesn't do anything and decrypt9wip shows "sysnand read fail", the previous owner tried to swap nand for a brick..

NAND chip looks to be fried. Your SOL I think.

 

[Hayato213]

Look like you got a hard brick,

Maybe you can load your NAND backup on another chip and replace it. Might work!

i don't have a backup.. its shows 0 bytes

Sorry to say but then your screwed. You should think about getting a new 3DS

Do you mean he tried to physically swap the NAND chip?
That's not possible, as the console unique encryption keys for NAND are stored on the CPU. He would have to swap both (and that's a near impossible task although one person has been able to do so, he did have to resort to paying professionals)

Anyway, theoretically it should be possible to boot without a working sysNAND by using ntrboot, just booting an emuNAND, in fact you don't even need a NAND chip at all. It isn't possible to create an emuNAND right now without having a working sysNAND or a NAND backup though.

i have a 3ds xl but the screen is broken, i can swap the motherboard?

he restored another nand.bin

you could create an emunand with that one technically, but I am pretty sure you can swap the motherboard if you don't try to swap the nand from motherboard to motherboard

Oh, well that should be fixable. When you say "godmode9 doesn't do anything" what exactly do you mean? That the menu doesn't show up?

Normally when a 3DS is bricked because of bad data on the NAND, you would use a ctrtransfer to unbrick it.
However, that might not work with a NAND that is from a different 3DS, because a ctrtransfer only changes the CTRNAND partition, but in your case the entire NAND might need to be reflashed.
If that is the case, then I don't think tools for that exist yet.
We can get all the keys now thanks to boot9strap, but new tools to take advantage of them haven't been made yet.
There exist some old tools by yellows8 that can use them, among them ctr-nandcrypt, which could possibly be useful, the only problem is, it's not very user friendly and I haven't been able to figure out how to use it, or any of the other 3DS crypto tools he made. And I have no idea if this tool is for a full NAND.bin backup, or just for the CTRNAND partition, if it's the latter it's not useful to you.

when i put restore to ctrnand its just get back on the menu, and safeb9s shows "no sighaxed firm found" what is fake because i put boot9strap.firm and .sha in the boot9strap folder

You can always use EmuNAND, but then you'd have to use the ntrboot button combo + flashcart + magnet everytime you power off the console.

If his nand si fried he can't use emunand, because it is made from you nand which have to be working.

You can create an EmuNAND from scratch but you won't be able to use online functions because the lack of SecureInfo, local, friend code files etc.

without a working nand?

you can ctrtransfer to emunand

Can you point tutorial for that? I never heard building it from scratch.

Hi i blue screen bricked my 2ds trying to hardmod it but I did get a successful nand read so I have a copy of the nand along with b9s patched version is there any way of fixing this without hard mod like ntrboothax?
Thanks

 

[NicknameGoesHere]

Don't you already have a hard mod?

 

[Callum1235]

Sort of it didn't work when I tried reflashing the nand so I redid it and the got blue screen brick
Tried multiple times to flash got an io error
