Hacking DSTT with MICRON MT28F160A3-T Flashchip and NTRBootHax

[Burorī]

This site lists my flashcart as "Supported but untested" but I just can't get it to inject NTRBootHax on it.

Any type of help would be appreciated.

Sure it is not a fake card?

DSTT is a VERY cloned card. you may want to make sure yours is an original and not a clone.

It is but some clones are supported

I'm just desperate, man. All I wanted to do was unbrick my old New 3DS by using my working New 2DS

Well. I think you got all the answers you need in previous threads:

If your DSTT can't be flashed with ntrboot, you'll have to get an ntrboot compatible cheap R4 clone. A N3DS is worth paying a bit for a flashcart. By the way: What happened to that console that it requires ntrboot? Softbricks generally don't affect the B9S (or the older A9LH) installation -- unless you uninstalled it on purpose.

This was back NTRBoot wasn't a thing, I tried installing CFW the old way by downgrading but I accidentally installed FW for the O3DS instead of the N3DS. I tried fixing everything by performing a System Update using recovery mode and now I'm left with a black screen and blue LED

Ah. Okay. A9LH installation. It involved downgrading to 2.1 (which is always O3DS firmware as the new model didn't exist when 2.1 was released). Updating 2.1 is a big no-no. It was safe NAND restore (to original firmware version) after A9LH was installed.
I assume there is no A9LH installed. If there was fixing wouldn't require ntrboot at all (only upgrading to B9S).

CTRTransfer Type D9 should repair the damage. If there is no A9LH, you will definitely have to find a compatible flashcart for installation B9S.

Good luck!

Any of those fake multi-game DS carts on Ali Express should work, they're just r4i 3DS Gold clones. Basically Gateway blue cards.

How do I know if my console has A9LH installed? It only shows a black screen like I said

The old way. by downgrading. Was ever only A9LH. It required a specific way of restoring the fw after it was done. Or the cosole would brick as it has with your case

Do I need to put something in my SD Card to launch CTRTransfer? Holding Start doesn't do anything

 

[Burorī]

Meh whatever, it's dead and I can't recover it

 

[KleinesSinchen]

If there was A9LH, it would load Luma3DS setting when holding (Select) on power on.

There are a lot of compatible flashcarts and a N3DS is worth buying one.
