Long story short, I was attempting 6.20 TN-E v3 with my Go (aware of the warnings of bricking) and made some stupid choices in the process (so yes, it's my fault).
Here's some documentation about what I was doing up until I was stuck in TN Hen Recovery Menu (if not for any reason other than I would forget if I don't write this down today).
Every solution I Googled either wasn't compatible with the Go, or specifically mentioned that the solution only worked in full CFW mode and wouldn't work in Hen mode.
It was at this point that I learned that my Go was apparently in Semi-brick mode, since I could at least bring it into a Recovery menu. But now I don't really know what to do since most of the solutions I've found aren't compatible in some way to my situation.
Suggestions?
Here's some documentation about what I was doing up until I was stuck in TN Hen Recovery Menu (if not for any reason other than I would forget if I don't write this down today).
- Running signed TN-D so I could start the unsigned TN-E v3 installer. I needed to disable FLASH0 protection before I could start this.
- Ran TN-E v3 installer
- Pressed X (forgot what it asked here)
- Pressed X again to "test out" TN-E before it "installed"
- Played around in this Test mode, enjoyed seeing a new TN menu on the System tab in the XMB, system firmware said 6.20 only (no TN-D or E or anything else); I'm 99% sure I enabled my FLASH0 protection again at this point).
- Shut off my Go complete to see if it indeed was "permanent" (I forgot that was a test mode earlier)
- Back in OFW, I ran the Signed TN-D so I could start up the TN-E v3 again; strangely I don't remember disabling FLASH0 protection this time, but I would've had to in order to continue (I guess lol)
- This time, I pressed X, then O to install (as instructed by most of the community)
- Back in XMB (I assume in TN-E mode), I went to see if the new TN menu was there (it wasn't), and the system firmware said plain 6.20 again, and this was why I ran the TN-E installer again.
- Installer asked if I wanted to uninstall (I said no), then it asked if I wanted to install (I said yes, assuming nothing bad would happen)
- Blank screen. Holding R brought up the TN Hen Recovery menu; I can still connect and look at my file structure using USB.
