Hacking New 3DS XL Hard Brick Error Please Help Fix!

[proflayton123]

You've learnt your lesson not to do it again, let this be a reminder to follow steps compulsory from a god given guide.

Anything below 9.5 is o3ds firmware.
O3ds is fine.
2ds is also fine, but if you format at any point you won't be able to get passed initial setup
N3ds bricks if updated directly.

So The Old 3DS Is More Compatible At Updating Then?

Ok

Just stop fooling that guy, we all made mistakes more than once.

Anyway since you don't have backup, there is NO way to restore it. Unless you download some tool and search for deleted nand backup (if I got you right that you accidentally deleted it.). Other way to fix your is to buy broken N3DS which has working motherboard or just used motherboard from sites like ebay. Few months ago, I ordered replacement motherboard for my 3DS from aliexpress. It was around $50 and replaced it, not really hard job.

I wish there was some sort of disclaimer on these guides that said not to update a N3DS on 2.1; oh wait........

I'm sorry but it's not just a simple mistake. When you go to hack, you either know the risks or you just don't care to know. If it's the latter, like the OP he doesn't deserve sympathy. The directions are right there in black and white with it written very very clearly the risks of being on 2.1, especially on a N3DS. A mistake would be something like forgetting the arm9loaderhax.bin and thinking you bricked (even that I can't forgive because it tells you to).

Sorry this guy is getting some burnt for it but I think a lot of people are over seeing someone start a new thread because they bricked by not following directions. IMHO they deserve it. If you're going to hack a $200 console knowing there is a chance to brick, wouldn't you do whatever you could to avoid it? Especially if it's as simple as reading directions and warnings. If they don't they obviously don't care too much.

The N3DS minimum version is 8.1.0-XXJ, not 9.5...

Yes I Did Accidentally Delete It And Are You Sure It's Not Hard? I Don't Want To Break It Accidentally Like I Did When I Updated The O3DS 2.1.0-4E Firmware At Least Someone Understands This

To OP, you know what would help you GREATLY next time you try to hack something? Ask for opinions BEFORE doing anything. People are kind here and will guide you through if you find 3ds.guide a little too complex (even though is made step by step, hand holding you every single second)

For backups, make them online. On file sharing sites like mega or whatever. Keep your backup safe and you wouldn't have to get a new motherboard.

Well, lesson learned.. the hard way sadly.
As people stated many times:

• Dont Update when you are on 2.1 using a n3ds.
• Dont close the LID on the N3DS on 2.1
• Dont ever delete your nand backups "By Accident"
• Plug the AC adapter while doing any NAND write.
• Follow Directions correctly.
• Ask questions before trying anything or when in doubt before taking actions.
• Dont follow Youtube Guides.

And yes sadly, your N3DS its a brick now. no way to recover, not even hardmod afaik.

Wait Don't Close The Lid? Does It Brick It Or Something?

Yes, closing the lid while in 2.1 hard bricks the console.
