What is the size of the card that the computer detects?

Is it the full size or are there missing a couple of gigabytes?
Just because that memory should be occupied bij the emunand

Below is a screen capture image of my contents of my sd card got through the test disk logiceil 6.14 , maybeyou find ituseful

What you displayed is the FAT32 boot sector (the Logical partition's first sector, when you select the drive's letter in windows it mount the FAT32 partition), not your SD card's MBR (Sector 0, first physical sector of the device which contains the definition of all partition on the device).

I think what we need is the MBR (sector 0), to check the presence of EmuNAND and the position of the FAT32's fist sector.


If you have HxD or HexWorkshop, you can mount the physical device instead of the logical partition to see the real sector 0 of your card.


EmuNAND is not a "partition".
your SD card still have only one partition (the FAT32), but resized to start at 1GB.
The unpartitioned area at the beginning of your SD is used for the EmuNAND data.

I sent him a debug version. That will tell me what's wrong and if there is anything to recover...

Edit: Looks really bad...

my pc detects the total size of the sd cate: 3.75GO

 

[pietahpoeh]

Assuming you have 4 gb sd-card, this means that there is no emunandpartition or it has been messed up.

For those that have the "3DSCARDNAND" instead of "R4ICARDNAND" SDcard: In order to let the Emunand Tool 1.0 recognise the SD, you have to...
1) Dump the entire SD content with Win32 Disk imager
2) Download an hex editor ( I suggest the freeware HxD from here: http://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php )
3) Hex edit the SD card dump and change on the first line "3DSCARDNAND" in "R4ICARDNAND". Save the file and exit from HxD.
4) Using Win32 disk imager, restore the modified SD image into the SD card.
5) Open emuNAND tool 1.0: it will recognise the emuNAND SD

Tested and working method.
I hope this can help someone

I also used the dump generated to restore the 3DS from Gateway-brick.

ok but how empty the sd card by win32diskimager
how you change "R4ICARDNAND" by 3DSCARDNAND with HXD

n1ghty iscurrently analyzingmyproblem, it isreally nice andcooperative

my big problem if the emunand is damaged! because before the brick made ​​a second before I forced stop in the profile menu beacause my 3ds wastotally blocked

What do you think about this ?

 

[pizzatime]

HAFEDHBY the guide is only for who has a good SD emuNAND dump, of course.

Aaand... without a dump, I can't analize it. but, you know... dumps aren't legally shareable....

 

[HAFEDHBY]

if possible I'll be uploading the image of my SD card (obtained from win32disk imaging) on a few links. it will be 02 days since the internet flow is slow in Tunisia

Has anyone figured out a way to get this to run on Win 7 64-bit? I've tried every compatibility setting within Win 7 and keep getting the "Read failed error =87(The parameter is incorrect)" error message every time I click either button.

The only other idea I can think of is to run it in a virtual machine, but that's a little bit of overkill in terms of setup just to run one program.

 

[gamesquest1]

works fine on 64bit windows 7 for me

have you tried a different SD reader :S

So you are saying that you didn't have a backup of your NAND so you used GW's EmuNAND to restore your 3DS?

 

[gamesquest1]

no i think he means this tool wont work with emunand setups made with clone the 3.x fw, as they changed the emunand header on the SD this program looks for the specific headers from the older clone releases or gateway, simply editing the header on the card directly using hex workshop should also work

I know, but he said that he used the dump generated to restore his 3DS from GW's brick, but I want to confirm if he really meant that.

i read a while back that you can extract the emunand partition into a valid dump to restore onto the 3ds......but it will be whatever FW version was set up for emunand....i.e 7.x

im sure someone with the sd mod could test it out....at least then the unrecoverable bricks could be fixed and sold towards a replacement 4.x console

Yes, actually this tool was designed for this purpose, but another guy said that the generated NAND partition from the "Create EmuNAND" feature was supposedly reencrypted in a way that would be impossible for the 3DS to read it from the real NAND and therefore it wouldn't work as a NAND backup, so I'm not sure what is true about this.

 

[zhdarkstar]

have you tried a different SD reader :S

Tried on 2 different card readers on two completely different computers (Samsung laptop and ASUS desktop) and it did not work on either one. The only thing both computers have in common is Windows 7 Home Premium.

I'm using a 32GB Sandisk Class-10 SDHC card that has given me no problems with installing/loading emuNAND and is only a year old.

 

[n1ghty]

Do you have a R4i? I will upload a new version with some small fixes and new clone header support tomorrow. This version will not have any new features.

I flashed my emuNAND to my 3DS XL and it worked perfectly. But that was in the "early" days of emuNAND.
