Hacking Luma3DS PIN?

[EthanSolo]

So I Formatted my SD card (without a backup) and now I cant get into my 3ds without my Luma3DS PIN, and nothing is working, including the correct one. I cant boot into recovery mode or do anything. Im pretty sure this thing is long gone, but I dont want to buy a new 3ds. Help?

If you formatted your SD card and put a fresh copy of Luma3DS on there, then it shouldn't ask you for a PIN. You probably reformatted your SD card, didn't put any new files on it, and you are booting from your CTRNAND.

What is your end goal with your 3DS? Restore to original (no-CFW) or start using again with CFW?

Download GM9 and rename the "GodMode9.firm" to "boot.firm" and put that in the root of your SD card.
Boot the system and it should boot directly to GM9. Navigate to the "SYSNAND CTRNAND" and enter it. Then navigate to the "rw" folder, which should hold the "luma" folder. Inside the "luma" folder there should be a file named "pin.bin," press "X" and it will ask if you want to delete the file, hit yes, and follow the promote to unlock the sysNAND. From there, just delete the boot.firm off your SD card.
