I don't want to restore my crappy NAND Backup :(
any Workaround ?
Boot into Hourglass9. How were you planning to restore a NAND backup using FBI?
Edit: oops misread the question! If your home menu doesn't work then there's not a lot you can do. You can try updating it, if not on 11.3 yet. If that doesn't work then you'll have to restore your backup.
Also, remember that your games and saves are in the Nintendo 3DS folder. The only thing you'll lose by restoring an old NAND backup is Activity Log, Mii Plaza etc.

My Goal was to reinstall the .cia File of the Homemenu
There's no such thing? The home menu is made of many, many cias. You usually don't want to mess with that, or you'll get a brick or have your home menu stop working. If you want FBI back then inject it again following section IV (I think) of the "Installing a9lh" page.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Are you being for real, cause that's hard to believe, DK is Nintendo and made in japan, Sea of thieves was from Microsoft, in America. I'm not calling you a liar, just didn't know.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Ok yes they were both made by Rare, but DK was from Rare back then, Rare now is owned by MS. So makes since.
