Homebrew Does anyone here unbrick 3ds systems?

[Xrisato]

I'm new here so sorry if I'm not posting in the correct thread. I recently bricked my 3ds system due to a blunder on my part, and was wondering if anyone here offers services for bricked 3ds repair in the US?

OH! I actually have a backed up copy of my nand from before my 3ds bricked..I think? EmuNand9 with both the 3dsx/smdh file extensions are the backup files needed?

 

[Xrisato]

ah..no, I don't have it then

I fix bricked systems, a back up of NAND.bin is required though. You would remember backing it up if you did. It takes about 5 mins or so ( fluctuates )

I think instead of backing it up, I dumped my sysNAND into emuNAND using menuhax? I'm not even sure if I'm recalling this correctly or citing it wrong. There was something I had done to format my sd card entirely for the emuNAND. I have checked my files and I don't have NAND.bin, just the emuNAND.

Shot in the dark, but did you try safe mode? Since you made emunand it's quite possible you made sysNAND at some point. You could try sd software recovery and see if the sysNAND appears.

Sadly I can't enter recovery mode. My 3ds is hard bricked. To answer this question in advance if it's possibly brought up, I haven't used any 3rd party hardware on my 3ds.

Edit: WOW! Would you look at that! I was messing around in Citra trying to find a ways to create a NAND from my emuNAND (silly, I know) and I came across my NAND.bin in my rxTools folder.

Edit 2: Solved.
