You updated a N3DS in safemode from 2.10, you're lucky you didn't brick. How in the hell did you even manage to fuck up?

enjoy getting a hardmod

Why? Not sure how updating from 2.1 would not brick his system on N3DS when it's known to be a guaranteed brick, so I somehow doubt he even did that while on 2.1 but instead at some other part. If his console works and if he can boot into D9 to restore a backup, then doing that would do exactly the same thing that a hardmod would.

@B451CW11M0DD3R

What guide did you use? What part did you get black screens on? What FW are you on right now? Just because it's like that right now is irrelevant, because judging from your picture the console actually works. If it works, you should be able to start over. If you can get back to 2.1 and install A9LH, then restore your backup that weird problem should disappear as well. Keyword is: should

I guess, because of he said he booted with black acreen, he probably didnt even install a9lh

I encountered this when I was installing AL9H on my n3ds xl. Top screen flickers green and bottom screen was blue. It was quite difficult to read but I went ahead and followed the 3ds guide and once I reinstalled on NAND, the colours went back to normal.

You must have not read the guide.
From the guide:
(Screen distortions or discolorations are normal for some devices while on 2.1.0, they will go away once you restore your backup)
Also from teh guide:
Never update a New 3DS running 2.1.0 (an Old 3DS firmware) or you will BRICK! You MUST restore a NAND backup or ctrtransfer back to standard New 3DS firmware first!

but how its stuck on the updating and i dont how to restore
Tell us the last step you did on the guide. Did you remember to remove the SD card when booting 2.1?
From the guide:
  • While on 2.1.0, the device will black screen on boot if your SD card is inserted before the home menu loads
  • Every time the device is rebooted on 2.1.0, you will need to take out your SD card before boot and put it back in after the home menu loads

... yes it will.... this is directly from the guide
(Screen distortions or discolorations are normal for some devices while on 2.1.0, they will go away once you restore your backup)
Do yourself a favor and read ever word on every page of the guide. EVERY WORD. EVERY WORD. EVERY DAMN WORD.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    run h2testw on it
