So this is a POC I've been lobbying since the Announcement of Sighax
the POC was strengthened in concept now with the release of sighax & Boot9strap
Since the days of 3DS, there have been reports of what we call a "Black screen of death" that even the recovery mode can't fix.
Signs:
Back screen upon boot, freezing on HM, even after updating via Recovery. (these are OFW Virgin 3DS')
perhaps it has something to do with the system prereq's that might have gone bad (bad flashchip/blocks etc)
Theory is as Follows
1. Dump Nand of BSOD 3DS
2. Patch the Nand
3. Flash to NAND
4. Launch the Godmode9 Payload
5. do a CTRnand Transfer to 9x
6. decide to if you wish to CFW or remain Virgin XD
7. ?????
8. Profit
I have not tested this, but in Theory is should.
I have a N3ds with this exact issue and will probably do the procedure this week after work lol
Let me know your thoughts.

So just an Update
Strange as it seems, the 3DS is now OK
My theory is it is as fckd up as i hoped it would be.
1. The FFC slot was ok, the FFC Cable had corrosion
I've confirmed it by my visual inspection, I thought it is almost likely since the Home button had corrosion as well.
I unplugged it and now the HM shows up.
2. Not exactly sure if my initial fiddling helped at all, the 3DS is now in US region coming from Jap.
3. the title.db is now dumping as it should.
anyway, I would like to thanks everyone for their Inputs!
I hope my venture can help out other users in the future.
