Restore O3DS Bootrom:8046

[EnzSchumer]

00F800EE FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF 00000000 00000000

NCSD header in sector 0 is corrupt (failed signature check).

I was wondering if it were possible to unbrick the console. I have already tried several methods one including from this tutorial posted below.
I managed to boot into the home menu but to no avail.
In order for me to successfully update the system (6:49 in the video posted below) , I needed to enter a long forgotten parental control code. I've already tried salthax.org but the generated code did not work.
Could anyone help ?!

(PS: whenever I reboot the 3ds I'll end up getting the bootrom error code again, making me have to do the magnet trick again to access home menu)

First and foremost, please do not use video guides in the future as they are often outdated and the creators do not fix their mistake.

Since I cannot see the video, do you mean that you're using ntrboot to install Luma3DS? This error code can definitely be fixed that way because the code refers to a software issue.

In any case, first perform a SysNAND backup: https://3ds.hacks.guide/godmode9-usage#creating-a-nand-backup, as we will have to rebuild the NAND header and this can be catastrophic without a backup.

Use ntrboot for starting GodMode9.
I agree with NAND backup before modification.

Then try rebuilding NSCD header with GodMode9.

Once the console starts normally you can more easily try to get rid of the PIN. Master key generator usually does the trick, but you can also run CTRTransfer Type D9 script – not for CTRTransfer. The script has more functions. One of them is reading out the current parental pin.

CTRTransfer reminds me of one more thing: I hope you didn't follow that video yet. There is no reason to run the transfer before knowing it is actually needed. This won't fix the broken header and a broken header doesn't say there is something else broken as well.

Not sure exactly what you're doing or what the parental code will do for you, but if that's what you need, the offline version should work.

Also would it be safe to update my console afterwards?

If your Luma3DS is latest version and everything is normally again, feel free to try an update.

Thanks alot for the help btw ;D but unfortunately i've run into another problem...

I forgot the password to my NNID and cannot access the email associated with it >.>
This may seem like a dumb question but would it be possible to bypass the NNID password?

I had bought many games on it (.

Start by calling Nintendo and checking to see if they can do anything for you.
