Hacking N3dsXL died on new super mario bros 2 and will no longer boot.

[gr3naed]

Title says it all. Last night my N3dsXL died while it was closed with nsmb2 in the backround. This morning i tried to boot it and i got this error

An error occured (ErrDisp)

Error type: generic

Process ID: 6711580

Address: 0x00000cea
Error Code: 0x000000ce


Press any button to reboot.

I heard that nsmb2 has been causing issues, but no one has had my issue on boot. Is there anything i can do?

How did it die? Battery life or did it crashed?

 

[gr3naed]

The battery died. It didnt like die die, it shut down from low battery but the battery didnt die all the way.

Hmm. Try booting it without the sd card.

 

[gr3naed]

It did what it usually does without the SD card. The blue light flashed and then turned off.

What method did you use?

Not sure what you mean, but i used the latest (or atleast latest at the time in like august) 3ds.guide tutorial.

Follow https://3ds.guide/finalizing-setup to make your console work without an SD card

I used seedminer and my 2ds boots without an sd card.

So you would like me to just redo everything in the finalizing-setup guide?

Yes. With it you can boot the sysnand and then insert the sd card.

Redo? From the sounds of things you didn't - otherwise you'd be able to start up the console with no SD card? Did you start and not finish?
Yes - it won't fix your problem but it will allow you to boot up without the SD card and then you can see if there's faulty data that's causing the issue.

(sorry for the late reply.)
Im pretty sure i finished it, but just in case i will redo it now.
Just to be clear, as i am scared to death of breaking this, it was a homebrew cia version of nsmb2
i didnt mention that before
does this change anything before i begin?

@Quantumcat Sorry for the late reply.
I can only do section one of the Finalizing Setup guide, as i still get the error booting up after finishing that.

Ok skip the other sections and go to section VI - ctrnand Luma

Can you boot up without the SD card?

 

[gr3naed]

Can you boot up without the SD card?

Yes. It boots into the error screen just how it does with the sd card without the sd card.

Yes. It boots without the sd card but still just shows the error screen.

Ok, so it isn't bad SD card data. Make a NAND backup (see https://3ds.guide/godmode9-usage if you're not sure how to) and save it on your computer, then do a ctrtransfer (https://3ds.guide/ctrtransfer) to see if that fixes it.

I have had this error too, this is how i managed to fix it (you will lose your progress in game s if you follow my method)
(Btw you need to have CFW installed)

hold start during boot, you will enter godmode9.
Select your SD card.
Press the homemenu button.
Select scripts
Select GM9Megascript
Select restore options
Select SysNAND restore (full)
Press A
Do the arrow code
Wait

now try again, if this doesnt work, i realy dont know.

hope this helped
