Hacking Just bought CFW 2dsXL and still has old users profile on it - how to start from fresh

[Chillimonster]

Just bought a used 2dsxl that has CFW on it (Dont know what sort as new to all this and dont know where to start!)

It has quite a lot of stuff preinstalled, some of which will no longer work (Freeshop / CIAngel etc) and some that dues (FBI etc) - Ideally the stuff thats not working need to be removed (If it can be).

I also need to reset the device as it still has the other guys details on it - how can this be done without destroying the CFW.

Finally - it has a 32gb SD card in there that is nearly full (Hence the need / want to remove non working stuff etc) - can i move the stuff over to a larger card (64gb / 128gb) and just carry on as normal

Sorry for all the noob questions - I did have look for answers before posting up.

There are a few on there i wouldnt mind keeping if possible - but if not I can easily find them and re-install i suppose (a few 3ds titles and some snes / gb / gba stuff)

If you want a "full restart" (and don't care about saves):
1. Format/initialize your console.
2. Format your SD.
3. Put latest luma on your SD.
- Also put boot.3dsx on root (homebrew launcher)
4. Follow this to reinstall all important apps (probably just fbi tho).
If your 2ds does not work after this, you might need to update from a9lh to b9s.

So a quick look at that link (At work so had a look while having a brew!)..

I could get a fresh SD (leaving the existing one just in case), and follow the above linked guide to set it up as fresh once formatted.

If it all goes wrong i still have my 'backup'?

Of have i got it wrong....

There is nothing to go wrong. Everything relies on 1 file on your SD. Boot.firm. as long as you have that, your 3ds/2ds will boot and work as it should.

To do this before the "full restart"; after that, it'll be neigh impossible.
