Hi all, been a lurker for a while and finally have a question that I think isn't answered already.
I have a stock n3DS on 11.4 and read that it's practically locked unless I find another 3ds that already has CFW on it. So, I bought a cool, blue n3DS LL on eBay that's already Luma'd up on 11.4 (though being an LL it's in Japanese). I'm wondering if it's possible to safely system transfer from my stock n3DS to this Luma n3DS LL so I can keep my streetpasses, etc., and also to region change the LL based on the Plailect super guide.
Outside of a few threads I've read here on GBATemp, I read in the guide Things that ARE and ARE NOT safe to do with A9LH+CFW that it's safe to: System Transfer to/from a CFW'd 3DS (you will lose illegitimate tickets software and DLC, so use FBI to reinstall the tickets), but it doesn't mention stock 3DS transfers.
But I also saw this Tutorial: system transfer from one 3ds to cfw 3ds. Though it's from Just over a year ago, so I'm not sure if it's outdated b/c for some reason.
Anyone have any experience or thoughts on this? I'm mostly concerned about somehow messing up the n3DS LL that I just bought and whether I should try to region change it first or if performing the system transfer will automatically shift the region from Japan to USA.
I understand that I should probably backup the microSD of each of the devices first. But any other warnings or guidance are totally welcome!
