I decided to mod my 3DS one day because I was bored, so I followed the guide I put below. Well, halfway through, I find out that the guide is outdated because one of the things I was supposed to download said that it was outdated. Well, me being the genius I am, I decided to restart with a different guide, so I deleted the Pokémon Picross file since I downloaded all of the software through that game. Well, after deleting the Pokémon Picross folder called '0017c100', I tried to put the SD card back into my 3DS, and the little light in the bottom-right corner would come on for a second, and then it would just fade out. I realized immediately that I should have deleted the game from the system menu first, but it was too late.
That was about a month ago. Today, however, I decided to stick the SD card back into my laptop and try and recover the file. After a couple of different file recovery applications (one of which was quite sketchy), I finally found the file and tried to recover it... until I realized the deleted file was empty and therefore couldn't be recovered.
I have no clue what to do and it would be quite a disappointment if I can't fix it, seeing that I've had the device for a few years and have a lot of good memories saved on it (not to mention the sheer amount of save data on there as well.)
If anyone has any tips to help me before I bring it into a shop, they would be immensely helpful. And if it truly is unfixable, is it possible to purchase a new 3DS and transfer over all of the files containing my save data?
Also, this is the tutorial I was using. The outdated software, which was sadly the final download, was called 'ctr-no-timeoffset', and the link to the download is in the description of the video.
