Can you check your SD card if you have an OTP.bin? If you do, can you check its filesize?

This is not good... Can you try at least 3 more times to ensure that it isn't working? Perhaps it might have been a mistake... Or perhaps your demo unit doesn't have an OTP at all!
Your 3DS Demo Unit might have its OTP in a different location, doesn't have the information we're trying to find, or is incompatible with the current software we use. We could also try updating it and downgrading it to dump the OTP the method everyone else does, but not only might that not be necessary but I am also worried about bricking your system from a system update...
This is beyond my skill level and you have a couple of options:
- Keep trying to dump your OTP.bin using that code.bin and load.bin
- Report the issue to someone like the creator of OTPHelper: https://gbatemp.net/members/d0k3.29073/ or Plailect: https://gbatemp.net/members/plailect.381978/
- Attempt to update to 4.x, hope it doesn't brick, update to 9.2, hope it doesn't brick, downgrade to 2.1, hope it doesn't brick, and hope you can dump your OTP.bin using the method everyone else does. (Not recommended to try blindly)
Weird, since if you can"t. I thought as said the better would be to contact with someone that can and want to help you, with checking why you can"t get your OTP and if is safe to update to 4.x via cartdrige without risk.
The old OTP dumping method required an empty 0 byte otp.bin already present on the SD card, you should try that and see if it works.

Oh no... I think you shoulda waited for more assistancehi my 3ds update pokemon y versiyon 6.0 browser error system update
help me
A. Did you get your OTP?
B. Listen. @CrispyYoshi, you shouldn't have told him to do that. Demo units are different from standard consoles, as is obvious considering A. The lack of an OTP B. The odd NAND... It's likely that, though the console boots, it won't work properly as the demo hardware expects something different than what it was given... I believe that Nintendo has special update software for demo units, I've actually seen an employee installing one on a Wii U. Can you still access Cubic Ninja, @enes eyibil? If so, we might be able to help you fix your 3DS. You have made a proper NAND dump [I believe] so if you can get into CN we should be able to help you reinstall that NAND, to fix your DS.

First, congrats on the 100th post!
Second, that QR code won't work anymore. This is out of my hands now, I have no idea what you should do. @d0k3 @Aurora Wright @smealum @TuxSH Any ideas? This console is extremely valuable :/

I went to bed! I think with a proper NAND dump it should be possible to restore back to the system, possibly through system settings. What I am unsure is if the current software we use will allow them to do that.
enes eybil, does your System Settings function properly and can you enter Other Settings->Profile->DS Profile and see if it works? If it does, you may be able to get out of your situation without a hardmod, but it might require special/tailored software to work.
With that said, I do not think anything strange happened with that system update: Pokemon has 6.x firmware and it was expected that you would not be able to use your browser: I told you to update to 4.1, not 6.x! Thankfully though, there are still methods to work with 6.x MSET ROP. You'll want to use your Gateway Blue Card to install Decrypt9 6.x or RxTools 6.x to DS Profile.
EDIT: To be specific, I do not think we have lost anything valuable here. Unfortunately, this will mean that you will need to downgrade to 2.1 like everyone else in order to get that OTP.bin, which will take a while to do. However, even if we did have access to reading/writing the NAND again, I would suggest making another NAND.bin backup to check the filesize before we write anything to it. I would also suggest dumping your NAND FAT16 XORPADs if you manage to get in Decrypt9, because those are also very useful to have.
If I had to guess, demo units are just regular 3DSes with a smaller NAND with tailored software installed on them (and we've backed that up already, as NAND.img). However, it is probably very risky to attempt to install any software updates due to the lack of space on the NAND: It may not have enough room to install everything, and it could end up not installing some vital parts of the operating system to function properly (resulting in a brick)

You're just tagging everyone that could help? At least post a complete description of the problem. What tools were used, what lead to it, what doesn't work...
This person has a 3ds Demo Unit from Gamestop which was initially on 1.0.0U [Demo Unit]. They used CN to dump their NAND but wasn't able to use the OTP.bin dumper I used to help someone else a month or two ago. Then, they decided to update to 6.x using Pokemon Y, and, despite how thankful I am they didn't brick, now they're stuck on 6.x without a web browser (as expected)
If I had to guess, they could probably use Decrypt9 via MSET ROP to restore the NAND, but I don't know how easily compatible that will be with their system. It's also worth noting that their NAND.img dump appears to be 792,606,208 bytes. (Someone else happens to have this size too)
They also are in possession of a Gateway Red Card and Blue Card: Perhaps they could install the ROP with the blue card? I'm worried that could be dangerous to try, but I'm not actually sure how that works.
EDIT: We also haven't dumped any Xorpads yet. In addition to the NAND.img, they seem to also have some interesting files: http://imgur.com/TE3jRFE

The NAND dump should be redone, in any case. This looks very fishy. And yes, the GW MSET ROP with D9s Launcher.dat should be the best option to go from there.
what do you suggest ?
how to make the transaction you need ?

gentlemen, what should I do now ?
