Hacking NTRboot BSOD

[AtmaWeapon]

Hello everyone
Sorry for my poor english, I've a Old3DSXL with a BSOD. I wanted to know if with NTRBoot I can fix this brick.
Thanks for help

Why don't you try ?
You can't get more than BSOD XD

It can yes, with a NAND backup or a CTRNAND transfer from GodMode9.

Depends on how it was bricked, but probably.
Even if the NAND is faulty, you can technically boot Luma3DS from ntrboot and have it boot right into an emuNAND, you don't even need a NAND chip installed in the 3DS.
Of course, that's not recommended. You'd have to use the magnet trick every time you turn on the 3DS.
If the NAND chip itself is not faulty you should be able to install B9S on it using ntrboot.

Thanks you for all, I will try

About booting straight into an emuNAND - how would the emuNAND be created? Wouldn't it normally be a copy of sysNAND? But if there's no sysNAND....?

If there's no sysNAND, then you have to ctrtransfer.
But some things would probably have to be obtained from another console to have online access, like LocalFriendCodeSeed_B and SecureInfo_A.

But returning back to the question. How can one do a ctrtransfer in a faulty nand? This question has also bugged me ever since I read one like this.

I've been wondering this too. It doesn't make all too much sense. If it's faulty, why can you fix it by reflashing sysnand? Or same with a removed nand?

I meant ctrtransfer to emuNAND.

 

[Urbanshadow]

One thing I was thinking about: If the nand is completely missing (hardware conection faulty or fried) there's no way to auto launch luma? it has to boot through ntrboot every time?

 

[AtmaWeapon]

It's a brick via Gateway clone so I remember I can't go go sleep mode

 

[gamesquest1]

A gateway brick would probably need a new tool to perform the nand unlock on the system itself, but it should be possible.....if you can find someone willing to make such a tool, Idk if @d0k3 might be interested, he seems to fix everything

But yeah you don't technically need to enter sleep mode to do ntrboothax you just need to trigger the sleep mode sensor/switch

 

[SirAileron]

Installing to a faulty NAND would depend on whether the CPU and NAND check for bad sectors when writing, and have them marked so that they go unused.

 

[AtmaWeapon]

I don't have my 3DS on me so I will try NTRBoot at the end of the week
Thanks

But how can you create the emuNAND partition to begin with, with no working sysNAND?

That's the easy part. Really all you should need is unpartitioned space at the beginning of the card that's of the right size. If that's not enough for GM9 or similar to recognize it, then a new tool might need to be written. One will be written if needed.

So then GM9 creates a NAND partition on the card with a CTRNAND transfer? So is it not a full NAND then?

 

[iAqua]

here's my remedy to this, might work, might not.

• perform ctrtransfer
• use emunand9 to create a emunand
• use your cfw of choice (corbenik masterrace) to boot said emunand
• if the emunand works continue (if not idk)
• copy emunand to sysnand
• profit?

Hmm, I didn't consider that. You probably do need a partition table for GM9 to know where to write the ctrnand backup.
Without a NAND chip or at least parts of the original chip, it might be impossible to create a working emunand, I think there are some things like NAND CTR and NAND CID that are required to encrypt/decrypt the NAND, at least if yellows8's crypto tools are to be trusted.
Those should be obtainable even if the NAND chip is failing/faulty though, as long as it's not completely fried.
