So my original hacked 3DS sd card slot broke today and I can't lock in my sd card into the slot. I bought a new 2ds XL and was wondering how I can transfer everything to the new system when I get it. I do plan to hack the new 2ds xl.
I'm not sure if the official System Transfer app requires a functional SD card slot. It might be okay, especially if you don't have any DSiware installed.
Otherwise, it might be best to start from scratch. You can manually recover your old save data from your SD card using ninfs on a PC if you have your movable.sed, and then restore it to the new system using Checkpoint after you install your games again.
In theory, it is possible to overwrite the movable.sed on your new system and then keep using your SD card as-is, but there are complications to doing that. I'm a little fuzzy on the details.

unless you nand restore that console, the system transfer is going to throw errors since your friend code is going to be on two systems and will only let you use the items on one console. not to mention that the system encryption is going to make things a mess aswell
Does the card spring back out without locking into place? This happened to me before and I was able to stick something in the slot and depress the mechanism after shining a light in there and finding it. You could probably use a small screwdriver or knife. After doing this, the card would stay in the slot, but wouldn't fully lock into place, like I can just pull it out with my fingers now. I continued to use the 3DS like this for several years and it still remains fully functional.
This was exactly my situation after a cheap micro to SD adapter broke apart in there. There's this little spring loaded mechanism that latches into the side of the card. You have to find it in the slot and push down on it with a tool until it releases, then the card will remain in place. I never took the 3DS apart to see exactly what the problem was however.
I assume M. Wiimann means that he used the System Transfer app, which would have wiped the Friend code (and everything else) from the old unit and changed the encryption key on the new unit.
Yeah, I saw you already got it replaced with the transfer sorted out, but just in case you still wanted to salvage the old unit in some capacity for yourself or someone else or if someone with the same issue comes across this thread.
