I used the installer to update A9LH. Not to install it.Do you have all the necessary files on your SD card? You need more than just arm9loaderhax.bin.
I used the installer to update A9LH. Not to install it.
I already had A9LH before using the installer to update.The fact that it powers off without the SD card inserted means that the hack is probably still working in some capacity and thus you aren't bricked.
I think what he means by that is did you put your existing cfw files back in place, including the arm9loaderhax.bin for your cfw or boot manager?
"Recovery mode" won't work. The arm9loaderhax.bin never gets executed in the boot.Send your Nintendo without your SD
- Also, did you tried accessing the recovery mode? Or tried launching decrypt9 (hold l+r button at boot)
If recovery doesn't work you might be hard bricked, not really sure with A9LH. You should be able to get a replacement as long as CFW and *hax stuff isn't on the SD. I didn't bother trying to get Nintendo to replace my bricked N3DS because I bought one pretty quickly and didn't really want to wait (and when I called in for a NNID I said dropped the old one and it broke, so I can't really get them to do anything now). Why did you install Devmenu or w/e to NAND? If you mean the actual NAND destination I don't think it would be able to read it anyway."Recovery mode" won't work.

The devtools are sitting right on my little ctrnand partition.If recovery doesn't work you might be hard bricked, not really sure with A9LH.

You already voided you warranty.My 3ds is still under 12 month warranty with nintendo. Can somebody point me in the right direction? I'd like to get it repaired asap before nintendo patches the current downgrading methods.
When you call in say something that could actually happen, like it froze (or died?) during an update. I rememberThe devtools are sitting right on my little ctrnand partition.
Actually now that I think of it, most people that bricked their 3ds and had gotten it repaired probably had fbi injected into h&s (their nand).
Even just using *hax voids the warranty because it's technically a modification. CFW stuff also voids the warranty, and is the one you should be worried about, because *hax is easily removable (but with CFW your SysNAND is still 9.2.0-20U>)How so?
Because you altered the system in a way it was not intended. I'm quite sure they have a section on that in the warranty paragraph.How so?

I don't think this is going to stop him from trying to get a replacement. Hasn't there been a few people who have had theirs replaced because of similar hard bricks?Because you altered the system in a way it was not intended. I'm quite sure they have a section on that in the warranty paragraph.
