Legends say NTRBootHax can be used to restore any bricked 3DS, due to it booting before anything else (and probably a myriad other reasons, whatever). I decided to do so with my New3DS that got bricked after - if I'm even remembering it right - I stupidly updated the firmware while on 2.1, something that New3DS doesn't handle well.
I have a brand new R4i RTS Gold 3DS flashcart from our lovely sponsor and as far as the NTRBootHax goes, it went swimmingly. I've flashed it onto the cart, installed boot9strap on my little brick, even installed Luma... But here's where problems began.
The almighty guide instructed me well up to this point, but after doing the initial config for Luma and pressing Start, I got an error: "Failed to mount CTRNAND". Can't do anything but shut the console down. The guide tells me "if you get an error, just continue to the next page". But the stuff on the next page consists half of things I can't do because my console won't boot (System Update and installing the CIAs and stuff) and half of things that don't help (writing Luma to CTRNAND - it claims to be successful, but taking out the SD card results in the console not turning on, meaning it failed).
I'm not sure what to do at this point. Oddly enough, the one thing I can do is boot into GodMode and other firms. However:
a) choosing "build support files" in GodMode allows me to build encTitleKeys.bin and decTitleKeys.bin, but not seeddb.bin (failed).
b) attempting to launch Decrypt9WIP.firm is a failure - "0x05 KeyY: not found" (it skips this one) and 0x24 KeyY: not found (this freezes Decrypt9WIP and I can't do anything)
Anyone has any idea what the problem might be and, more importantly, how to fix it?
