Hacking Question about nand falshing

[ottarkurwa]

Hey, I followed the instructions here https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Hardmod-Downgrade and I dumped the nand named nand.bin using win32diskimager , then I used autofirm to get the patched nand. But now, win32diskimager will not detect the file and allow me to select it for writing back to the nand (it can select images). How do I flash a .bin file to my nand?

I manually changed the file extension from ".img" to ".bin" as far as I can remember

rename to .img and win32diskimager will recognize it

That guide links to this thread https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-noob-friendly-nand-dumping-2ds-3ds-3ds-xl-n3ds-n3ds-xl.414498/

which advises you to save your nand as .img instead of .bin

Right, but you need a .bin to use autofirm, which gives you a .bin not an .img in return. But I guess i can just rename it. Thank you for the fast responses.
