3ds bricked?

[Cheryy]

I was needing to find a save file and to do so tutorials made me downgrade to version 2.1. when I did what the tutorials told me I got a pop up of the exception arm11 dump. When I tried fixing this it said to download luma again then disable arm11 and I don't get the dump pop anymore but when I boot it will instead show a black screen with the solid blue light and no matter how long I wait it just stays black. I can still open luma and gm9 but not the home menu any help is very appreciated

downgrade what? The actual firmware? What guide were you using?

i was downgrading the firmware. I also tried to look at a lot of guides to see if they all had a consensus. It was about a week ago that I started trying to do this so i don't exactly remember which guide it was but it might have been plailects guide that started this rabbit hole

If you can take out the sd card and boot to the home menu, the 3ds is not liking something on the sd card. Make a backup of the data on your computer, delete it all, then put it back in the 3ds. Let the 3ds format the sd card, and if it boots into the home menu successfully then something in the sd card backup is preventing the 3ds from booting.

for one, you can turn arm11 handlers back on. it wont fix a thing beside give you a black screen instead of the code to help debug a issue. Downgrading to 2.1.0 is simply to install a9lh, a very old cfw, which isnt going to help a thing in your case. Which then brings ya to the save file. Was it a .sav on the 3ds, or one that you were trying to extract to somewhere else that you had? Extracting save files is quite easy with JKSM or Checkpoint apps.

if it's a n3ds, it can be dangerous as there's no 2.1 for n3ds firmware. I think it's a modified o3ds firmware that's installable, just don't close the lid, because I think it can brick a n3ds by doing that.
