Hardware so i bricked during the otp downgrade....

[caseofxtc]

i bricked my 20th anniversary pokemon 3ds during the otp downgrade...
i can fix this with a hardmod and a nand back up right?
would someone contact me to fix this?

 

[Mazamin]

Have you tried removing the sd card?

 

[caseofxtc]

yeah ive tried everything just getting the blackscreen followed the instructions pretty well too

 

[Mazamin]

Strange, I downgraded two times and I never got a brick, anyway, you need an hardmod

 

[caseofxtc]

Yeah contacted both USA hardmodders now it's just the waiting game

 

[GhostLatte]

Do you have a CFW on the root of your SD card?

 

[caseofxtc]

Do you have a CFW on the root of your SD card?

Yeah but the DS doesn't boot with or without the SD card

 

[GhostLatte]

What CFW do you have?

 

[caseofxtc]

I had cakes on it

 

[GhostLatte]

Did you have the firmware file on the root?

 

[caseofxtc]

Which firmware files?

 

[GhostLatte]

Which firmware files?

Slot0x11key96.bin

 

[caseofxtc]

Yeah I had that

 

[GhostLatte]

Yeah I had that

I would try AuReiNAND just to be sure.

 

[caseofxtc]

And how would I do that with a bricked 3ds

When you turn your 3DS on, does it automatically turn off?

Is there an emunand on the Sd card?

if so,

Try reinand since it's easiest.

Put this file in the root of the sd card if your arm9hax doesn't have screen init:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/source-release-reinand-n3ds-cfw.394309/page-193#post-6080515


If you do have screen init:

https://github.com/Reisyukaku/ReiNand/releases/download/v3.3/ReiNandv3.3.a9lh.zip

Finally, you also need these files/folders on the root of sd card with either option above:

https://github.com/Reisyukaku/ReiNand/releases/download/v3.3/ReiNandv3.3.zip


If you boot up then you're good to go- update your emunand if needed!

Also: I live in USA/Chicago and hard modded my 3ds xl twice from bricks. It was a temp hard mod so I removed the wiring when I was done. If you want a perm hard mod access port id suggest working with someone else.

It doesn't turn off but I can't go into recovery or anything it's stuck on a black screen

My 3ds has a bricked 2.1 firmware flashed I need that fixed before anything

Same thing with my N3ds XL FEF Edition, soft bricked on downgrading to fw 2.1.
Used Cakes then AuReiNAND, same results. had to do the hardmod & restore (2x) to got it to boot.
Strange cos i got my O3ds XL & black N3ds XL to A9LH with no problem.
might try one more time and call it a day.

 

[Jawertae]

Same shit happened to me. Flashed the 2.0 image and the screen doesn't cut on. I can get to recovery mode but it never finishes the update and for some reason I can't get the fucking screws out to hardmod. Fml.
