I tried to install cias (probably wrong idk) to the Nand of the system and now my 3ds wont boot right.
If i boot into menuhax it just says menuhax at the top and the bottom is red.
And if i boot into the normal homescreen all not system icons are white.
I tried booting into the recovery mode and update my n3ds, but it says that it has an Error and that the System Update cant be completed.
Can anyone help me?:/

With MenuHax it sounds like maybe you don't have boot.3dsx on your SD card? Otherwise, I don't know. That's weird.

what cia did you try to install to the nand?
It was the friend module cia so i could play online.
I had rxtools on 9.2, and installed it with the fbi installer and then it gave me an error and after i rebootet it started acting weird.

Why the hell would you install anything like that on sysnand?! And what gave you the idea that installing a friend module cia on sysnand would even work?! If you wanted to play online, all you had to do was just install and use emunand. That 3ds is broken; only way to fix it is maybe with a hard mod and your nand.bin dump.

Facepalm*. You realize that is an outdated post right? And that post says nothing about injecting random cias into sysnand. If you wanted online this all you had to do:

1)install emunand
2)get rxtools 3.0 beta 2 running (recent release)
3)boot into EmuNAND
4)go into system setting and update to 10.5 via wifi

4 easy steps. Also, do you understand the difference between emunand and sysnand?

You could get the correct CIA for your sysNAND version with 3DNUS and reinstall that, but you probably don't have access to a CIA installer to do so. I guess you'll have to rewrite your NAND backup using a hardmod.

That tutorials you showed was for people who had an outdated RXtools that could only have a 9.5 Emunand and the weird people who have 10.3 Sysnand that dont want to update/downgrade but want online with legit cias. However, rxtools just gave a new release which supports 10.5 emunand. 10.5 is the most recent firmware up to date and if you did a system update on your emunand this would not have happened. Also, you could have gotten reinand cfw, since they support ed online like for months now.

Yes, the only way to fix it is, if you had done the nand.bin backup when you installed emunand. Even then, you will have to hard mod it, (involves soldering)

How can i do that?

Hard mod involves taking apart you 3ds and soldering some wires and sd cards to connect to you computer. Dude, get with the times and learn the terms. And also please educate yourself on what is difference between emunand and sysnand.

Use the same Title ID you used to download it from 3DNUS the first time, but use a different version number. If you're on 9.2 system NAND, that would be Title 0004013000003202 and version 8192. Once you get the CIA, you'd need to install it on sysNAND using FBI or BigBlueMenu or DevMenu. Do you have any way to boot those?

If it's still under warranty you could do that. However, if they find out you've been messing around with downgrading and rxtools, the warranty is voided. However, if you decide to send nintendo the 3ds and pay for the repairs, they will 100% update your system to 10.5 sysnand firmware. I gurantee that. With a 10.5 system, only way to downgrade is you have to hard mod it.

I think everything is broken, he can't even get into rxtools menu, homebrew or emunand (assuming he installed correctly or at all).

If i hold the l button it shortly shows the static from the menuhax boot and then it gave me an error. I could try getting another boot.3dsx
