New 3DS Region change final stage issues

[GalaxyCraft007]

Okay, so I followed this tutorial on how to change regions:
The first time round, it went perfectly. I decided to change the region back (went from European to US and wanted to change it back to European) but I ran into a problem. Everything up until the 09:09 mark went well, however when it came to the part where the "Opening the HOME Menu...Do not turn off the power." message popped up the first time, I only got a black screen. I need help trying to figure this out.


Edit: Everything is sorted out now. Huge thanks to Neptunexz for telling me to go to 3ds.hacks.guide to get the solution.

Video guides are often inaccurate and outdated. Try using safe mode to update the system. (this can be done by holding down L + R + D-Pad Up + A, and then powering on the system.

Tried this, I'm still met with a black screen.

A missing file from the ctrnand could result in a black screen (i’ve had that happen myself). Go to 3ds.hacks.guide and follow their region changing tutorial (if there is a file missing, this should fix that)

Probably can try a ctr transfer if you got a blank screen.

I'll try it later.

Doing the ctrtransfer is part of the problem I think.

So yeah, very, very out of date.

Do you have a nandbackup from before you changed regions?

And are you able to boot into gm9 or lumas with holding select and b before boot?

I don't believe I have a nandbackup. I will look though. If I don't then I'll try booting into gm9 or Luma

Okay I'm able to do this. Don't know where the nandbackups would be saved if I do have them.

 

[Neptunexz]

If you don’t have a nand backup, a ctrnand transfer should be able to fix it.

I assume that's done through godmode9?

Go to 3ds.hacks.guide and follow the region changing section.

Yes. Follow the ctrtransfer guide here carefully and don't skip any steps.

/gm9/out/

That's the default location on your system's SD card for NAND back ups. If you followed the hacks.guide for the 3DS when you homebrewed it, one of the steps is backing up your NAND.
