Thank you very much for this. I bought a 3DS not long ago (didn't know it had CFW until I was buying it but it is limited Zelda edition so I didn't mind). Getting used to all of this 3DS CFW stuff and it seems I deleted some stuff I shouldn't, I was really worried of perma-bricking my console but your video worked like a charm. Again, thank you very much, excellent step-by-step guide!
This was such a helpful guide. Unfortunately I got sold a totally borked console and after doing this three times step by step as shown I still get the constant crash dumps and freezes.
Ty Ty TY! Have been having this ARM11 issue for a while. Generally I was just erasing files till my console would turn back on. Sucked but worked. This is what I've been waiting for!
Great tutorial!! Thank you so much, I was having this problem and you solved it. I have a suggestion for a video, you could make one on optimizing the 3ds for speed with clockspeed and cool things. Keep up the content!
Hey, you released this on Halloween didn't you? You saved everyone from being scared of a unworking 3DS. I played the Halloween Mod for NSMB2 again. It was fun!
Thanks sthetix your video help me a lot! :D when I started using the ctrnand transfer it crashed during the process, and it showed me a message to turn off the console, what I did to solve it was to make a backup of the nand, reinstall and follow the steps in your tutorial and it already works :D thank you very much for sharing
This happened to me after I ran TWLFix. Performing a normal system update via the Settings menu fixed this error for me. (No additional installing/apps required)
Did twlfix work for you? I still can neither uninstall nor reinstall/ open TWMenu :( but I can use DS apps installed to home with the forwarder (I too had to use the update fix)
Can confirm, this does work as of 21st November 2024 and all the download links are up. Very easy to follow guide, thank you so much! All my games are back and most importantly, all the saves are intact. Now I just have to unpack 100+ titles 😂
Notice: My native language is not English, so I apologize if there is any misspelling (I am using google translate). Thank you! You have no idea how grateful I am to you. As I said I don't speak English but your video helped me a lot. I felt like I was going to die, thank you very much for saving me. Great video.♡
You are TRULY my life saver, super thank you for your instruction.I was just extremely panic before watching this video, and eventually, everything was back on the track.
As of recently, this has only been happening when I try to launch an NDS game, but is fine for every other N3DS function. Every time I try to use TWLFix, everything just fails. I have tried downgrading, and upgrading again, downloading files, everything that I can find that says it will work and nothing has worked. Do you know what I can do to get the NDS functionality back?
Thank you very much. Thank you so much. Thanks to you, my broken Nintendo is fixed. I was in pain for the three days that Nintendo was broken. The second link you provided didn't work, but I solved it after some trouble.
If you have this problem only when try to access the Twilight (or DS forwaders), try to update the console before doing this guide. updating solved my problem
SCREAMING, THIS WORKS. I couldn’t get off the “arm11 core1” screen no matter what files I replaced, even replacing the new Luma update, omg thank you so much ;0;
I used TWLoader fix for using header forwarders with NDS games, and I started getting this when I load up NDS games. I also get the exception error when playing some 3DS games, especially VC. But I can still turn my console on and play games. Will this fix work for me still?
hello. i got this error "Unable to mount CTRNAND" but when i insert the SDcard, the console does not create *Nintendo 3DS* folder and i dont have the backup. is there still way to save it? :C
I had this same error too. I believe it could have been that the sd card is not compatible with your system (however I’m sure you know this now so sorry for the not so new info ;-;)
3:32 That's all we've got. But there's an error window after this. 2:38 Other than this file, my SD card had more files. Should I erase it all? I followed all the steps and the difference is the presence or absence of that file, so I would like to inquire. Sentences can be awkward using a translator.
Can you help me, my old 3ds did nothing using this method. I got this error after region changing and deleting the 000100170 data on SysNAND. Please help me my old 3ds is japanese version. 3:33
done the steps until around 3:02, but it still boots me back to the unable to mount ctrnand or load the ctrnand firm screen still, i dont know if ive genuinely lost my 2ds, been around since maybe 2011 to now, i really dont wanna lose it, please respond
I have an error of ticked.db impossible to open file arch that error occurs at startup comes out another as certs, title,import,tmp_t and tmp_i. Is there a way to fix it?
Hi, when i do this nothing happen. Please help me another method for this error. I got this error after region changing and I have old 3ds japanese version.
So quick questions. Does this still keep the mii character, their items and who they met? And the save data of the games too? I am having this exact issue but want to know what to do. Do I have to replace the old files with new ones? Like a new gm9 or new .firm files?
A couple of questions before I start. 1. Are you able to update your system with the deletion of the 3DS servers? 2. Does this process delete your save data in your games?
I don't know about updating online. afaik only the eshop are down. afaik it doesn't delete the save data. you need to recover it using faketik but better backup the save data with jksm before doing the guide
@@sthetixofficial Thanks for responding so quickly! All online features have been disabled as of April 8th, but apparently there’s a way to update to the latest version with a modded 3DS.
I tried this once and it worked. But then i had the same issue and did the same thing but it didn't work that time. What should i do. The error message only appears when trying to load an NDS game from a cartridge
Can you help me, my old 3ds did nothing using this method. I got this error after region changing and deleting the 000100170 data on SysNAND. Please help me my old 3ds is japanese version.
I have a question, please. I followed your video step by step, but when I pressed start to boot after transferring image to CTRNAND, nothing happened, I can hear a sound, but nothing on the screens 3:29
Whenever I open Minecraft for the new 3ds (I have a New 2ds XL), it always crashes after the MOJANG symbol appears. Then it says "An exception occurred" and "Processor: Arm11 (core 2)" and it says the exception type is "data abort". Do you think you can help with this? I really wanna play minecraft.
pls help me my 3ds is crashed after i activate a cheat from checkpoint evertime i turn it on a arm 9 error code is comming up and when i open godmode there comes a message with an errer has occurred the payload is invalid or corruped. press any button to shutdown what should i do
i manage to fix "An exception occurred: Arm 9, Prefetch Abort (SvcBreak)" on boot. I followed *CTRTransfer (Type D9) Script* method and then, boot up GodMod9, navigate to SDcard, select *gm9* folder then *in* folder, select your ctrtransfer bin file and choose the Transfer image to CTRNAND option. After all that, i press Start and boot up to HOME menu.
I have updated the 3ds-starterpack, so continue with this guide . You can update to 11.14 safely
