I bought a used N2DS, and apparently it was a Japanese model (serial number starts with NJE) but it had already previously been flashed w/ CFW (Luma 10 iirc), and is running the latest 3DS firmware for the US.

I went through the paces to update CFW according to the guide, but when I tried to access EShop to do a system transfer, I got the 007-2001 error, which after some googling, appears to be an error related to region locking.

Am I kinda SOL on doing a system transfer from my old system to my new system? I am not planning on playing any online games so I don't really need NNID or the EShop, but I would like to at least transfer my save files, which appears to not be possible due to system-level encryption. Short of somehow obtaining a US Motherboard (dont even know where I could go about getting one), how can I transfer my save files? I don't mind re-downloading titles.

Thanks!

Flash it back to JPN then do a system transfer to another JPN 3ds to make it work again on the region changed 3ds other JPN 3ds has to be of a "New" system as u can't transfer to an "old" system

So I'd need to buy (or otherwise procure, perhaps from a friend) another system? Dang. Why'd they make this so complicated? (rhetorical)

I know it's region locked but it's a pretty convoluted workaround to have to use a third system in order to get around it.

Is there a way to transfer save data w/o the system transfer?

Use jksm or checkpoint to backup your saves and use them on any another system.

    @K3Nv2 I got some cheapies at wallys, that are pretty good, already have lost a few expensive ones (one falls out and gone, can't find) while cutting grass so bought some cheap ones, and of course never lose these cheap ones. (Cheap meaning only $35, compared to air buds which I only have 1 of 2 now)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    Click on your profile pic in the top right corner, and you'll get the profile menu popup, with the profile icon highlighted at the top, and the "bookmarks" banner next to it in gray. Click on that icon and you'll get a list of your bookmarks.
