Hacking So....I bricked my 3ds

[Fou-Lu]

When trying to update my emunand with a legit copy of smash brothers I somehow bricked my 3ds. How screwed am I?

Depends. Did you do a NAND backup?

Yes, I did.

Good Job. If you don't have a orginal NAND Backup, you can't repair your 3DS.
You can restore your NANDBackup with the HardMod (if you have a NAND Backup)

Does updating emunand with legit cards always lead to a brick? I once updated my emunand with a rom, everything went fine.

When you try to update your EmuNAND with a retail Cartridge, it will update your SysNAND

Are you 100% positive that you had set up EmuNand before updating with the Smash Cartridge?

Good to know. And in his case it also has caused a brick?! Has he done anything wrong?​

I'm not really sure about why it bricks, but everytime when someone tried to do this, their console bricked.
In the Tutorial Thread, there was a Warning to not update EmuNAND with retail Cartridges.

Yeah, I did.

I should have read that first, haha.

 

[ChrisX930]

Yeah, I did.

You have to HardMod your 3DS to restore your backupped nand.

 

[ewin00]

so you got BSOD or what?

Updating with a ROM works perfectly. Sad that you used a Retail Cartridge.

But even if it updated my sysnand, why would it get bricked then? Wouldn't it just update normally?

Like I said already. I'm not sure why it bricks, but it happen.

so you got BSOD or what?

Just the blue power light turning on. Nothing else.

Like I already said: HardMod ftw.
