So, I got this 3dsxl somewhere,
it powers on but has no display - Black Screen, when I press the POWER button, it shows the screen where I can turn of 3DS, when I press home, it shows the loading home screen but will stay there forever.
The recovery mode works (L+R+U+A), I tried updating through this earlier (the update finished after several retries) but issue is still the same,
When I retry the update now, the 3ds says the fw is currently the latest. (the 3ds is JAP so I had someone translate the text for me)
any thoughts what could my next steps be?
I'm guessing this 3ds is already updated to 10.7
so I can't re-run the update (w/c didn't fix the problem)
maybe I will try and wait for the 10.8 update to come out pray that maybe it will fix the problem?
this is a virgin 3ds and I have not done any cfw mod so far,
so far what I've done is dump the nand (10.7), (i sure hoped I tried to dump prior to the update gah so I can retry and retry till it is resolved).
My theory are as follows:
1. Corrupted emmc/bad sectors maybe due to Electro Static Discharge or something / lifted bga?,
2. used up read/write emmc cycles. (I tried re-writing back the nand in hope of fixing it or overwriting the broken sectors but no sugar)
Is there anything I can do to mess up with the nand backup I created on PC to maybe try to make it work? (like unbrick bat on the otp guide, maybe there's nothing I can do to mess it up since I don't have fat16 xorpads to decrypt the nand/*on the contrary, I recall that there are tools available in messing up with emunand before even if they are encrypted when setting up palatine cfw's, so maybe some work can be done on the nand backup even without the xorpads?)
let me know your thoughts.
thanks
