Seems like you've tried pretty much everything, the only thing left I can think of to try is this: https://github.com/AnalogMan151/Lazarus3DS
What guide exactly did you follow when you first tried hacking and bricked it?

If followed the 3ds.guide soundhax when a9lh was a thing.
Question, where do you find a sighax_hdr.bin? Is it apart of SafeB9SInstaller?

It should be included in the files the guide asks you to download, I don't really remember.


I'm in the same boat but that guide does not have any links (unless I'm missing something?). It says it needs 8 bin files:

  1. Prepared donor ctrnand.bin, nand_hdr.bin, twln.bin, twlp.bin files & SHAs for your console (o3DS / n3DS + USA / EUR / JPN + retail / dev).

  2. A clean sector0x96.bin, boot9strap.bin, sighax_hdr.bin & SHA for your type of console (retail / dev).

  3. A copy of twlmbr.bin & SHA
But no links. I guess it's Google time...

If anyone knows where I can easily aquire those files for n3DSxl PM me! :)

You realize that by no links, that it means both on here and in pms. Right?

Yes I understand it means no linking on here, which is why I asked about PM.

I was under the impression we can PM each other whatever what what.

If I am wrong about that I apologize.


Also, I'm not quite sure if all of those are verboten type files. I seem to remember a couple of them being downloadable in guides before...

A couple years ago, I bricked my 2DS when I tried to install CFW; thankfully, my friend unbricked it with ntrboot. I can access Godmode9 but I cannot access my home menu. What do I do, I can't find any home menus and I don't know how to install it.
Thanks.
It's the boot.firm
delete "boot.firm" and the luma folder off your sdcard, then boot your 2ds. Now it will still be black so now go back to your sdcard and put the latest "boot.firm" on it. Make the luma folder again and then put all your payloads and all that. Now yboot your 3ds. It should work now.

It didn't ):

It might, but a system update would fix it. Try deleting the home menu applet and updating via recovery mode.
how would I delete the home menu applet?

Delete the folder: 1:/title/
00040030/00008F02
Note: this is at your own risk; make a NAND backup first!!

Then use Recovery Mode to do a system update.

It didn't work, but when I tried to turn off the 2ds, I got this.

    @SylverReZ, i was already believing that was the reason it was down
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, The response from the page said it had too many connections. So perhaps, flooded traffic?

    @SylverReZ, it didnt say that for me

    @Xdqwerty, It only shows that if you do 'View Source', right below that it'll tell you the SQL response query. I feel like a nerd lol.
