Hacking Hardware NAND Extraction

[Hyura]

Good news! A friend offered me an old NAND extraction! So I'll be fine if I need to use the Raspberry Pi method.

In the meantime, I still haven't had time to update my 3DS, is that still a good idea? And would that affect my 3DS, or should it be fine?

Afaik, you can't use another system's NAND on yours. They are unique. There would be no hard bricks if we could do that.

And what do you mean by update? Don't you have BlackSOD?

But I'm interested in the Raspberry Pi part. Are you following a tutorial to do that?

 

[grubgrub]

There's emuNAND, if that's what you mean. (Sorry, never really delved into CFW's)

Do you mean you have emunand set up before your brick?
If so you can extract the emunand from the microsd card/ sd card and use that as your sysnand.

hm... when my cia's created a brick i removed the sd card and my 3ds worked...

to clarify nand backupless unbricks only applies to the old gateway blue screen bootrom error bricks, that is the only use of a raspberry pi for unbricking, for normal blackscreen/CFW bricks the raspberry pi is useless and serves no purpose, without a nand backup your pretty much up shit creek without a paddle, which is why pretty much every guide ever instructs people to make a nand dump (read paddle) incase you ever end up down shit creek

I'm glad your friend was willing to help out, but unfortunately you cannot restore your 3DS with his backup. NAND backups are unique to each device, and restoring with his could potentially ruin your 3DS. My suggestion is still to update via recovery.

no NAND is console generated. meaning you can't use a different consoles nand.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

If you made an emunand you can flash that over, otherwise I know one very very complicated way but It's something I know a little about and can only do a little. That is live edit your nand in a hex editor. I'm okay at it but good luck.

wtf are you talking about can you please stop posting here. Your giving this kid false hope first you say "oh you dont need a nand backup just use a rpb to flash firm1 to firm0" which i dont even know what your talking about. Now your saying to use a hex editor to mess with the nand backup which the nand is encrypted so please elaborate how you decrypted the nand then after you fucked around with the hex editor you re-encrypted the dump then flashed it to your 3ds??! Your talking out your ass

 

[fmhugo]

install correct .cia on nand.bin using PC. maybe is possible. (Theory)

 

[Xenon Hacks]

Well, you can send it to Nintendo and they can fix it
It's better then a console that can't even turned on.

They will deny the repair and send it back to him

This will not work Nand's are console unique and cannot be swapped

or update via recovery sell the 3ds and buy one with lower fw

You can flash emunand to sysnand you know.

He's using NASA he doesn't have an Emunand partition on his SD card.

 

[Quantumcat]

Previously he said he had an emuNAND. Using NASA doesn;t mean he's not using emuNAND.

yes i do know that but what he is telling this kid doesnt make any sense. Read his previous postings

The post that you quoted where you told him off, he was saying you can use an emuNAND backup, which is true. It looked like you were exploding at him for saying something true. Perhaps a poor choice of quote

ok your right. Yes you can flash emunand to sysnand ive done it before but he said yesterday that he can just use a rbp to flash firm1 to firm0 which is incorrect. Rbp can only unlock locked nands

 

[Ninje]

The only solution is the recovery mode, has nand restoration without having your own backup of the nand if the nand for your friend or the recovery mode will work!

Man, I'm just talking about what i know... I use a hex editor to edit my nand everyday practically. I know a little more than what you think there buddy. But hey, i'll stop helping. I mean I won't loose any sleep over it

You didn't seem to know the difference between a hard brick and a locked NAND though.

you havent helped this guy at all. You havent shown any proof in any statement you have made besides flashing his emunand to sysnand. Your basically saying look what i can do and you guys cant your full of it. I will admit I'm not not great at software side of stuff but I'm very good with hardware and soldering. Mostly Gcvideo-lite and gcvideo-dvi for gamecube which ive built for people apon request. Anyway you havent pointed him anywhere to some kind of guide to help him
