Hi,

I was trying to follow this guide to the letter
https://3ds.guide/

After the CTRNand steps I boot perfectly into 2.1.0 but when I was copying over the NAND backup to my PC I noticed that the files in the SD:/CTRTransfer/ are listed:
2.1.0-4E_ctrtransfer_o3ds.bin
and
<serialnumber>_nand.bin.sha.

Does this mean that there where no proper NAND backup made in the process?

I went to http://2xrsa.3ds.guid and it seems to have worked.

If I press select while booting I get into LUMA settings but I cannot boot into firmware or mount CTRNAND.
I cannot restore the <serialnumber>_nand.bin cause it's not in the folder.
Any options here?

I have the OTP saved.
I have another hacked identical New 3DS XL of the same region. Any chance I could use that one to save the day?
Make a decrypted NAND backup on my other 3DS and make some magic with the OPT of this problematic one?

Also after restoring the 9.2 CTRNAND image as suggested by proflayton123 i can't see the the actual CRTNAND partition get any larger. The image is about 1gb and the partition is still about 700 something.
I compared this with my other New 3DS XL on the latest firmware, and that CTRNAND partition is 1GB.
So I tried backing up the ctrnand_full.bin from my working 3DS to the non-working one following official instructions:
  • Transfer CTRNAND images between systems: Transfer the file located at S:/ctrnand_full.bin (or E:/ I:). On the receiving system, press A, select CTRNAND Options..., then Transfer to NAND.
(https://github.com/d0k3/GodMode9).

And it's still showing up as 700 something MB and giving me the same error.

Im not sure whats going on here
