(HELP) The infamous blue screen (brick) after CTRNAND fix.
So... this 3DS was having CTRNAND issues.
I’ve been following the Sthetix guide to fix it, and everything seemed to be going well until one specific file failed to copy/install.
Against my better judgment, I rebooted after it finished, and now I’m stuck here (see video/image).
Is it even worth trying ntrboot at this point?
Here’s the catch:
• I have no NAND backup.
• I’m suspicious of the hardware because of that failed copy/install.
• Tracking down a compatible flashcart will be a massive hassle. (Some say cheap knockoff are the one that’s available).
I’m worried that if the file failed to copy because the physical NAND chip is actually dying, then ntrboot is just going to be a waste of time and money.
Has anyone dealt with a failed CTRNAND transfer? Is this a sign of a permanent hardware "failing NAND," or is there a chance ntrboot can force a fix despite the previous error?
