ROM Hack Help my 3ds boots with black screens

[LogicIsHansom]

Hey so I'm having a problem where out of nowhere my 3ds is booting with both screens black.It seems to boot up fine and I can hear the home menu sounds but the screens are still black.My 3ds does have cfw installed.
Is there anyhing I can do?

*update* I can boot into luma.

Take out the battery, take out the SD card, and reseat them, see if that works.

Also my 3ds is already up to date and boots into recovery mode successfully but still has black screens when I boot it up normally, so I know my screens are not damaged.

What version of B9S and Luma are you using?

It should be the latest one, though I have no way of checking.

U can try 9.0 Luma and B9S 1.3 see if it work, it would a good idea to post what content is on your SD card.

I have a lot of stuff nothing that'd do this, this only happened randomly after I was using microsd manager.Afterwards it just had blackscreens and I turned it off then back on.

The reason for content of the root of your SD card is for people to check to see if you are missing any key files, not sure if you messed up your nand.

I have all the normal files and never deleted anything so I have no idea why it would.

Anyway what do you want me to show you?

It happens to me too sometimes but the screen will turn on after a few seconds, try leaving it on for a few minutes and see if anything happens

Btw when I move the circlepad or dpad I hear the menu music play for a bit then stop.

Oh no. You're victim #6 of this BSoD soft brick.

Black Screens, Everything works in system update mode, Error when camera disconnected

N3DS XL Black Screen of Death

3ds bricked itself, can't figure out why or how to fix.

Big Problem with a possible Brick on New 3ds XL

Black screens on n3ds xl

Prognosis: really bad. Not fixable/no known work around.

On August 22, 2018, gisel213 solved and provided the solution in fixing this BSoD brick.

• New 3DS XL Screens only display recovery mode

We could tell you try sysNAND (Full & safe) restore, CTRtransfer, and Lazarus3DS... but I haven't yet seen one person recover from this specific brick.

I'm gonna try to update luma and see what happens

Yeah still nothing.

Yeah still nothing.

I have a far fetched idea that I've been meaning to ask those in your spot to try, but only if they agree to the procedure and feel their 3DS is in purgatory at this point with no other options. I'm afraid to ask of this as this may make matters worse.

Before I consider sharing what it entails if you feel comfortable doing so, I would like to know if you've already tried:

- restoring in GodMode9 your sysNAND when you first installed CFW
- attempted CTRtransfer
- attempted Lazarus3DS

nvm ask away I'll go through with it I guess, if it helps somebody else get theirs' fixed.

When you first installed CFW using the 3ds.guide, you should have been instructed in dumping and backing up your sysNAND. The file should look like this:
######_QW########_sysnand_000.bin , with a size of about 1.20 GB. That file should have been kept in safe place on your computer, flash drive, or hard drive.

If you have that sysNAND file, you would place a copy on your SD card at /gm9/out/ folder. In GodMode9, there is script called Restore SysNAND (Full) you run by pressing Home button > Scripts... This would roll back the sysNAND on your 3DS to a good, working copy.

CTRtransfer, in case you don't have your sysNAND

Lazarus3DS, in case CTRtransfer and sysNAND restore fails.

All three methods utilize GodMode9 scripts. If those scripts are not already on your SD card, you can find them here:

You mean the NANDmin.bin?

Check the Creating a NAND Backup and Restoring a NAND Backup. If you have your sysNAND backed up when the 3DS was freshly hacked, then you can attempt sysNAND restore. It won't do you good if you try creating a backup now in the current corrupted state the sysNAND on the 3DS is right now.
