ROM Hack help with backup plz

[p4rsona]

hello. So i had my 2ds hacked from version 9.2. or something with soundhax, but unfortunately i removed it and updated the console to ver. 11.7, however i still have the backup from godmode or something from the instalation guide.
Can i use it to restore the console to original hacked state?

If you don't have CFW set up you can't restore that nand without a hard mod. Just get a NTRBoot compatible flash cart and install B9S.

I have one of those R4 cards to play DS games, can i use it?

Check if your card is on this list.

its on the list, but what's with this time bomb thing? 1.87: September 3, 2019

On 11.7, you only have three options to re-hack your system:

1. ntrboot method, which requires a compatible DS flashcart that will cost around $15
2. DSiWare/seedminer method, which requires a compatible DSiWare game that costs $2
3. Hardmod method, which requires taking apart and soldering the system

Out of curiosity, are you sure you removed your hacks? How did you remove everything? What happens if you hold Select while powering on the system?

It mean the card would stop working when that date arrive, by that time the 3ds probably be not supported anyway so doesn't matter too much. Since your card is on the list you can use it to install Boot9strap to install Luma3DS.

It is what it says. a time bomb. on that day/time, your card will become un-usable. its how they get you to buy their updated versions.

Do what Lacius said by the way first, check if Luma Configuration menu show up when you hold down select while powering on.

I had issues with the console, i needed to take off the hacks and re-do the process of instalation, since i was not able to booth games (it's in my previous thread), so i just followed some guide to take them off and ended up with an updated system

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

no it just boots on the menu, and on system menu i have writen ver.11.7 and not the other thing that indicates that im on hacked version

The system firmware a clean firmware like 11.7.0-40u?

 

[p4rsona]

yup, ver. 11.7.0-40E

 

[Hayato213]

yup, ver. 11.7.0-40E

Before installing you should do a clean wipe of the system and the SD card file, so erase everything off the SD, and do a format system memory after inserting the SD card, it give you a clean "Nintendo 3DS" folder.

For anybody else reading this thread, there is no reason to remove B9S. It will not fix one's problems.

got it, just a quick question as you havent left yet, i have other 2ds console, i was about to hack it the other day, i followed the guide and put the files it asked on the flash card, but deleted the old ones, after inserting the card and booting the system the console light stays on for 2 seconds and then fades away, wasnt able to launch the system since. is it the indication of and bricked console?

A blue light for a second before powering off means you have B9S or A9LH successfully installed, but it cannot for whatever reason read a proper payload on the SD card (boot.firm or arm9loaderhax.bin respectfully). Re-download the Luma3DS boot.firm and put it onto the root of your SD card. You should also follow the finalizing setup guide so this kind of thing doesn't happen.

but what could i do besides re-do the all process, i finished the guide and still had an error showing every time i ran a game

You might be able to fix it with NTRboot, secondary function of NTRboot is to fix brick, but there are certain bricks you can't fix.

On A9LH/B9S if the system SD card is missing files the file it need it would just shut down.

 

[p4rsona]

turned on, thank you sir

There were lots of things you could have done that could have fixed the problem, and removing B9S did not and could not have fixed your problem.
