Hi there,
A long time ago, after I hacked my 3ds, idk how but the SD card broke into 2 parts. So when I was trying to boot it whitout the SD card I had this error message (I still have it today if I try to boot whitout the SD card):
[PANIC] Could not find config file.
Press any key to shutdown
I didn't know what to do, so I just let it in a cardboard box, thinking it was bricked for ever, since I had no backup of anything.
Today, by copying some files I found on my old PC to a SD card, I somehow (very luckily) managed to boot the 3DS to the home screen (I can play my cartridge games again). However all the programs related to CFW and hacking stuff are gone. When pressing start when booting, I can go to godmode9 v1.4.2, and go to Luma3DS v8.1.1 configuration when pressing select when booting. When I go to the 3DS settings the firmware version I see is 11.7.0-40E.
I say I was really lucky to manage to boot it because I forgot ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING about 3DS hacking stuff and I just put the files I found on the SD card and it worked flawlessly.
I don't know if my 3DS still has a CFW or is still hacked so I don't want to completely brick it by trying to factory reset it in the 3DS settings.
What I want to do is to completely remove all the hacking stuff and rehack my 3DS on a good basis to avoid any problems.
I know it's pretty different but if you compare a 3DS to an android phone, for me a CFW for the 3ds is like a custom ROM for android, and if you have any problem with your android phone all you have to do is to flash the stock ROM and your phone is brand new. So maybe there is something similar to do with the 3DS, like restoring the stock 3DS firmware ...
Any ideas ?
