Hacking Help Restoring Nand Backup

[Dave_Chad]

I need some help with my little situation...

Trying to CFW a friends 2DS and at the SafeA9LHInstaller stage realised the start and select buttons do not work at all... I can't progress forward so wanted to restore the nand backup so he can return the 2DS for a refund.

So... Downgraded to 2.1.0 using CTRTransfer. Can't install A9LH. Want to restore NAND.

Starting to panic as i'm trying to figure out a way to restore now... I would have never thought to check the select button actually works before starting the process..

Very funny but not helpful.

What's so funny about that?

You do realize that you can change the "start_gm9.bin" to "y_gm9.bin" or something like that and just boot it using the assigned button, right?

Or does the key combo you have to put in when restoring the nand include start and/or select? (I really don't know tbh)

He doesn't actually have a9lh installed yet so he can't use payloads.

Oh yeah, true, just goes to show that i shouldn't think about stuff like that at 8am.

But if he managed to get it downgraded to 2.1 he should be able to restore the backup through GM9 too.
