I just watch this stuff for fun because you helped me homebrew my console, and some friends, so I’ll help you by supporting the channel.
Same. I even like watching just for entertainment sometime. This channel helped me dumped my games, change themes, twilight menu, and even transfer everything.
This 3ds has been through so much
As NTSC-U units become more and more expensive and hard to find, I think these guides are going to be /very/ useful now, especially since it's much more affordable to get NTSC-J 3DSs. Thanks for these guides!
Your intro is really nice!
I bought a psp and Nintendo 3ds XL from japan for super cheap. These videos will really help me mod them. Thanks 😊
Do u have to mod or can u just play on jpn and change wordd to English
U can region change it
2:13 oooh, a hangnail. Those aren’t easy to get rid of sometimes... Hope your finger gets better :3
thx. its fine now
You CAN uninstall hax and formating after region changing IF you flashed system files by a dump of a console have the same region.
For exemple, have a jpn and usa console, you want to change the region of USA to jpn. You do a ctrtransfert and flash system files with the dump of the jpn console and the USA console is now jpn!
same region means no region changing..
@@sthetixofficial I edited my comment
"Next step is suicide" hahaha love your videos.
😅
I could see this happening to someone who tries to uninstall the hacks in order to sell the 3ds and forgot to region change it back.
Dude you are the best you helped me hack my 3ds my switch and you also helped me unbrick my 3ds you are very reliable
i noticed you said sorry twice because of the skin peeling off from your finger. it's okay, i forgive you
You. Saved. My. Life. Thank you very much!!!
One time, i bricked my original ds. When i clicked power button, it did nothing unless going to uninstall. I made the toturial with twiglight menu and it works! Now my ds works like normal
Nice video! If you’re planning to make this into a series, I think you should also do one on uninstalling and reinstalling CFW repeatedly
i already did the uninstalling hax video and the ntrboothax video
@@sthetixofficial 4:02 I tried this method, but the 3DS does not turn on.
you bricked it? what is the symptoms?
@@sthetixofficial Yes. Only the blue light arrives and the screen is black.
static blue?
Like you red my mind, was just wondering about this yesterday, thanks!
thank you ! in 2023 still working, mine was 2ds and didn't need r4 card to recover anyway my SD card died when I was doing jailbreak and I got brick with blue and white light
? How did you do it without an r4 card
cannot
wow. even i ask help in gbatemp, no one cannnot help. this video really working. thanks
Glad it helped
The magnet positions for different magnet sizes
Small: Next to the X button
Big: On the right side of it
i was bored so i did this.
but what if im on OFW i don't see much information posted anywhere for a device that hasn't be soft/hard modified
U can check it by pressing select + power while turning on the console
Watching this without a 3ds so I know what not to do whenever I'll get one (hopefully)
I got it into gode mode 9 but when i pressed start it just gave a dimly lit screen
Nvm it worked thanks
Yeah "what will happen" is definitely an epic idea
Hello! I planned to completely remove CFW, format the console and rewrite it to a new memory card, in the end I incorrectly deleted CFW from Godmode and formatted the memory card, now the console does not turn on and the blue light is on. Can I somehow fix the problem? (memory card is empty on the console, only CFW HAX is removed from Godmode)
you need to do the ntrboothax to fix it.
@@sthetixofficial thank you very much for your feedback! I already thought that I killed the console)
i bricked my 2ds xl after removing the cfw AND restoring factory settings, it wasnt region changed tho. Can this method work for me?
The DS refuses to go pass the internet-option after you set it up after stock options, it´s a loop since it always reboots after trying to pass the internet set up step.
I have an ace3dsx flashcard
I was dumb and didn´t know better :(
Yes try to follow the guide.
@@sthetixofficial first of all, ty for the response! You brought me onto the right path, wasn´t 100% the solution for my problem but I was able to install the cfw using ntrboot and - turns out, I needed gm9 to perform a CTRTransfer because my data corrupted in the original cfw removing process! It works finally, thank you mate!
you are welcome
I don't want to homebrew anymore because i don't want to brick another 3ds, any ways to get wide-screen ds games without a modded 3ds or homebrew
i think not.
nevermind, i did homebrew another model, and its all going fine, maybe i likeit now.
Unfortunately my little cousin (11) bricked his 2DS by deleting every single file off his SD card (he has no NAND file)
This was years ago though, would there even be a way to fix a problem like that ?
Please do this guide and do the ctrnand transfer method. OR just restore the nand backup if you have
@@sthetixofficial no backup Nand- basically all NAND is completely gone from the SD and pc
Then try doing the Ntrboothax, get into the Godmode9 and do the Ctrnand transfer D9 guide (i dont have the D9 guide), you better google it.
Hey Man, i think i did this on accident, and i don't own a R4, it's there anyway to do this using the SD slot on the console? Thanks in advance, and great vid by the way, i just wish i found it sooner
Yes you need to use an R4 or compatible card to fix the issue.
did this on an old 3ds and after trying everything i just wont boot Godmode9, I just dont know what to do at this point, been trying this for at least two days in a row
Help whenever i press start to get back to menu it just reopens gm9
from home?
does this work with the R4i 3DS B9S flashcard?
it should work.
What’s your R4? And where you bought it?
Dude the trust you have in your own skills 😂
I’m scared to mess ANYTHING up with my 3DS and you do it intentionally for a video.
Mine still hacked but I accidentally formatted it and deleted all the files and now it won't read the sd card at all
Where do you get that Flashcart??
Or can you use any Flashcart?? AceKard?
use this card bit.ly/3KdZ2OD
@sthetixofficial awesome.. thank you..I was just on that site.. wasn't sure it was legit..
@sthetixofficial just ordered one!!
My system is bricked.. and hopefully this works.. black screen.. steady blue light.. have to hold power button to shut off..
You are welcome
it worked?
‼️‼️PLEASE RESPOND!!‼️‼️
I recently purchased a New 3DS that I discovered was Homebrewed. I’m having an error when trying to access the eShop (007-2001) and the error seems to be that the eShop’s region is different from the system region. How do I know if the region is has been changed? The 3DS did not come with a microSD card so I don’t have the contents of what was done to this console. I would like to revert the console’s region back to its original region if it was changed. The serial begins with YJF. From doing research, it seems like it was Japanese, and the 3DS firmware ends with U, indicating it’s region set to North America. Could that be the case? And if so, what can be done?
Please and thank you!
Try to flash the consol with the Japanese ctrnand, please watch my region changing guide
I just got a bricked 2ds xl from France. The blue light turns on,pops and turns off in a minute. I think I'll try this because it's hacked
I think you need to replace the speaker flex ribbon cable. That is the issue.
Please help me! I did follow your instructions. But, after uninstalling CFW hax, I did step by step follow the video, but got stuck at enter godmode9. My 3DS cannot enter godmod9 any more. even cannot enter Luma configurator as well. Please help me.
did you brick the console?
I dont't know why, but when I put magnet on my 3ds xl and X-start-select and power button, It does take long to make blue light but still won't turn on. Did I do something wrong?
Try watching my ntrboothax video.
hello ,its 2023 and i have a problem with my 3DS,
bluew light on.no screen.
trying to use your guide but can find the folder you are refering to in the video on the zip file...help?
u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZEAlYXZax8fvagBu045Br9DR6iqLmCpYWJk
what if in desperation I formatted my sd card?
can I still unbrick by downloading your aio luma?
before I bricked mine I have the latest luma and latest dogmode9
formatting the sdcard wont brick the device ever. if u remove the cfw on a region changed console, u bricked it
@@sthetixofficial I mean after I bricked my 3ds with this method I formatted my sd card
is it game over?
no it doesn't game over. u need the ntrboothax to fix the problem
as long as i have your provided boo9strap folder and renamed dogmode9 to boor.firm and in the root of sd it will all be ok
I accidentally did that is there an easier way to do it
Also can you use a regular r4i SDHC card
i know this is old, but what if you region changed it back to its original region?
So i bricked my 3ds this time its this problem and i have my r4 card and did everything right i use a sdhc lite and i used another 3ds to get it into ntrboothax mode and it dosent boot up.
I need help fonding out why it dosent boot up thanks
maybe you didn't do it correctly?
The same happened to my 3ds cause of my mistake, tried to fix it and found this video, i watched your ntrboot vid, and the one thing i found is that you use your 2ds to flash the card to ntrboot mode(the r4isdhc dual core) , i have the same one and it doesnt have that mode , and the brick happened before i got the flashcard. So with that :
1. Do i need access to my 3ds to flash my flashcard?
2. And if thats the case is there any way for me to flash the card without the 3ds?
Really need your help on this one my 3ds been off for 2 weeks.
you need to access the 3ds to flash the flashcart , no other way.
@@sthetixofficial Does flashing the flashcard through other ds works on my 3ds, i have a DSI xl that works.
i think it does
Is there an updated version for this video. Specifically for the Japanese OLD 3DS LL. That I soft bricked affer installing the US version.
same guide, please do the ntrboothax
This is a video of installing a luma3ds on ntrboothack
Can I do this with with a fresh SD card?
you need files before doing the guide.
@@sthetixofficial only have an ace3ds x cart will that work does it need to be r4
@elchuy6138 I think it does.. try reading the 3ds.hacks.guide/ntrboot
dude, i have not bricked the console, but the magnet thing, what can you doo in case of having a 2ds?
please watch my ntrboothax video
It is true that change the region will break extended memory games, and now i can't play certain games like super smash bros, monster hunter, and pokemon ultra sun, do you have any solution for this?
ya probably. try to format the console and try again.
Greetings, this exact thing happened to me, is there any way to revive it without an R4 or some other method? Thank you so much
Unfortunately no
Is it possible to do it on a different sd card as I lost the other, and do I need to put anything on the r4 card or can I just use it when I get it?
you can
Hey so I have a question. If I accidentally replaced my gm9 on a region changed console, removed the cfw, and bricked it, would I just use this method to get it back?
yes.
For me when i press start it dosent do anything just makes the cobsile dark again
have u tried doing the ctrnand mount guide?
@@sthetixofficial the problem is that i can load into god mode 9 and do everything just fine until i press start then the screen just turns dark. It all started when i accidentally messed up the ctr nand by deleting the rw file directory.
you need to redo the ctrnand mount guide
What do I do to resurrect my 3ds old that was unlocked only by sd card without r4? I didn't change the region just insert the boot.firm in Nand and after uninstalling the boot9strip the same thing happened in the video. I have a R4 Gold 2016 and in desperation I formatted the SD card.
uninstalled just to redo a clean unlock 😭
then? sorry i dont understand what u mean
@@sthetixofficial before the brick in my 3ds old 11.14 the unlock was in the safecerthax method. Can I recover with this method with a R4 gold PRO 2016?
how did u insert the boot.firm to nand? luma3ds ctrnand?
@@sthetixofficial your video was my salvation, thank you very much, I managed to solve it through a DSi.
hi, please help, i already revive my old 3ds xl, but when i try to go home menu, got stuck trying to opening home menu (appears a loading bar) after that nothing happen
have you tried replacing the sd card?
@@sthetixofficial no, i format my sd to fat32 (i had a 64gb sd) and i did the whole process, but when try to launch the home menu keeps forever loading a bar (i let it all night and never pass from there)
Also try to rename the data folder in sys ctr and nothing happen; i reinstall the ctr 11.4 (if im not wrong) but again, nothing happen
Just keep loading the bar forever and say preparing to start home menu, dont turn off the power
Try to use other SD card.
already did that, but im stuck
right now im stuck again in black screens and blue led
i can access to luma and godmode, but not to home menu @@sthetixofficial
In that case, please do the ctrnand transfer guide.
I went to the wrong video to region change my console, and I region changed it but I decided I wanted to change it back, however they did not mention backing up the NAND when changing it, do you know how I could get rid of the region change?
you need to revert it to the original region, use the ctrnand image that matches your console region.
@@sthetixofficial THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU'RE A LIFE SAVERRRRR 😁
Thanksssssssss I finally unbricked it 👍
btw i have this issue right now, i don't really any magnets and that cartridge thing, i was just trying to uninstall the hax because i can't install cia's it had an error so my brain thought it was a good idea to uninstall the haxx pls helpp :((
you are lost bro. uninstalling the hax IS NOT the solution.
can i do this with an r4 that dosent have the n and d switch inside
F for that 2DS XL
Sorry shetix for asking a lot of times this will be the last question. So my console is bricked now when I am unbricked Then can I homebrew My 3ds again to change back the original region? or I thought that before deleting the hax, I would replace it with the original region and then delete the hax.
U can
Hello i have a question i just brick my 3ds because change region and it got brick i just do this method without flash card so if i want to unbrick it i just put the flash card and the SD card inside and turn on the 3ds Will that work?
And btw do i need to ntrboot the flashcard to do this?
Yes u need a flashcart and do the ntrboothax
@@sthetixofficial thanks
hi everything you said before the method you suggested with holding x start select and the power button worked but my console is not loading godmode9 how do I fix that?
is your console modded or not?
@@sthetixofficial i removed the mods
then you need to mod it first to get access to the godmode9
@@sthetixofficial yes the ds was modded when i purchased it off of someone and i wanted to remove the mods so i did and now it is bricked
you need to do the ntrboothax method to unbrick the console
I have 2 question: How Did Your flashcard to bootmode? Any flash card is working ?
You better read the 3ds.hacks.guide/ntrboot
@@sthetixofficial ok thx
How do I flash my flashcart when my console is already dead? I watched the other video and it looks like you need to have a working 3ds to flash the flashcart.
you need either another 3ds, or a nintendo ds to flash the flashcart.
Hey man I have multiple boot.firm on my 3ds and not sure which to delete it’s really annoying please help
there should be one boot.firm
Erm, sthetix, where can i buy a r4 b9s card that ships to the United Kingdom?
nds-card dot com
bro! I have a question. If I changed a region, removed the cfw, format sd card and bricked it, would I just use this method to get it back?
u bricked it. yes u need to do this guide
@@sthetixofficial Where should I move the boot files? Nothing in sd card.
i installed luma succesfully in my 3ds but it was hacked before and had the health and security icon changed with an old version of fbi, can i reinstall the health and security icon again?
u need to open godmode9 and restore the health and safety app. try watching my rosalina guide, i think its there
i watched your video on how to delete cfw and did the tests and it passed, then when i finish my 3ds is just fucked. i dont know what that test was supposed to do but it was useless and didnt work.
did you region change the console?
Hello everyone, i have this problem on my 3ds but i do not have an R4.
Is there any other way i can do this?
you need an R4 to unbrick your console
I did this with the original 2ds, I changed region to Europe and delete the hax, I want to fix it but this video is for the 2ds XL, is there any method for the original 2ds?? Man I'm desperate
same method u need ntrboothax, but u don't need the magnet, use the sleep switch instead
@@sthetixofficial does the R4 has to be an specific one or any will work?
specific one of course
. read 3ds.hacks.guide
How to know if the console’s region is changed in the first place?
you need to be aware of it. did u ever change it?
@@sthetixofficial bought it pre modded on marketplace. I don’t know if region was changed or not
hmm. it is hard to determine it. maybe you need to check for symbols or texts on the console body. maybe you can ask the gbatemp community for that
@@sthetixofficial ok thank you
After you reset the console can you mod it again and region change?
u can
I restored Emunand's data to sysnand with gm9. At that time, I had the choices of (full) and (safe) and I chose (full). Then I bricked.
Does this need to be cured by the method in this video? Or is there another way?
I'm Japanese so I use translation. I'm sorry.
i never use emunand, why do u use it?
I want to play in two regions.
I forgot to say that emumand is the usa version. The main body is the Japanese version.
you better ask at discord.gg/MWxPgEp
I entered the server
What should I do here?
you can ask someone inside their server
quick question how do i revert to the original region?, in case i want to remove cfw
You need to watch the region changing guide then remove the CFW
@@sthetixofficial thanks for the info 🤗
hello sir good day. I've got a question, my system is 11.16.048U so supposed to be its a USA region. but last few years I've changed to another region. If i revert back to USA region. will it still brick the console? kindly help
*note that my previous region is malaysia, which i googled Malaysia is included in U region. is this consider region changed?
It wont brick the console unless you remove the cfw after you region changed it
@@sthetixofficial so its still consider region changed 😭😭😭😭😭😭 so if theres a new cfw version, i cant update anymore sir.
Of course.. U need to revert it to usa
@@sthetixofficial okay sir. i already revert back to USA. thanks for the info
Help, my dad's previously hacked 3ds was bricked, the hax was removed, BTW its on original firmware and it doesn't have a backup, any way to restore it
You need to do the ntrboothax method to revive the console
There is a guide on my yt channel
Can I have the link pls, I can't find it
Can you lease reply
th-cam.com/video/y_blNLLmPxI/w-d-xo.html
Hey I’m getting a compatible flash cart soon, I’ll test it on my dad’s bricked 3DS after.
will this work if my 2ds xl is not region changed? but bricked the same way? thanks
it wont.
@@sthetixofficial alright thanks
Hi! Is this related to bootrom 8046? I have this issue
Maybe you need to do the ntrboot to revive the console with the ctrnand transfer later.
Sometimes I had that issue but it’s not always
What happening when I am rehomebrewing My region changed 3ds?
nothing, it works as usual
Does this work for older original 3ds versions?
it should work.
Do you need the cartridge and the magnet to do this? or is it optional and there's another way to it?
no need to have a magnet, or cartridge. what do you want to do exactly?
@@sthetixofficial Unbrick the 3ds?
Do you need the cartridge and magnet to unlock GM9 after bricking it?
yes you need a flashcart and magnet to unbrick the 3ds
how did you brick your console?
@@sthetixofficial region change on a Japanese 3ds when trying to remove hax
What is the purpose of magnet?
To put console in sleep mode without closing it
If you want to run gm9 in ntrboot mode you need a magnet to trigger the sleep mode
Well by the method you used you could probably use the two system strat
sthetix a region changed console cant install dsiware cia must i return it to the normal region first or is their a other way
its not related. you should able to install any cia on any region.. change the sdcard and try again
Ok I changed the sd card but this page on gbatemp their say dsiware software is install to twin light nand and mine does not have enough space so I go to delete dsiware software but I only got twin light menu++ and is only 3 blocks and don’t know but before I changed my region I got a bunch of dsiwares I think they can’t be read since it is region change and if I install it fbi says failed to install cia and my sd card has only 40.00gb Left because i have a lot of games and is a 128 gb sdcard.that is all I know
Thank you bro !
I just came here to fix my 2ds because i yeeted out my sd to put on my 3ds just so i could homebrew it🤣
There is still no way to remove cfw after region change?
no.
When fixing the console, what is the magnet for??
for. ntrboothax method
my problem is that my sd card is completely empty
Do the 3ds finalizing-setup video
will this work without the flash R4 card?
it doesnt
you need a compatible flashable flashcart for the ntrboothax
does this method work using a R4i B9S ?
yes
you bricked my 3ds
you bricked it yourself.. with your hands with your free will. do not blame me..
I have a r4 sdhc 2015, and I update it, how I change the mode?
Does this r4 works?
go to 3ds.hacks.guide and read about the ntrboothax
But I can’t acces to the r4 without menu
u need the correct kernel
@@sthetixofficial I have the correct kernel updated
Now what?
I might try buying a 3ds and homebrewing it
My brother accidentally deleted the sysnand what do I do
reinstall then apps.
That was a scary experiment. I enjoyed watching this. Btw you sort of pronounced brick wrong, it is break if you want to say it that way.
oh ok thanks for correcting
@@sthetixofficial brick is a term used in the console hacking scene its not break
I bricked my android once...it scared the lollipops out of me.
Hence I have no intention to BRICK my 3ds.
why i cant input combo keys
did you press the right button combination?
the file is not working its rar can u send a new link?
please use winrar.
@@sthetixofficial ok Thx for help now need a r4i sdhc 3ds rts and a magnet is it ok?
yes
