japanese console changed to US/EU firmware

[tranquil steppe]

My 3ds from amazon turned out to have US firmware on a japan console, this was talked about in pretendo chat but i needed to share images here

[supple shoal]

can i see the images

[tranquil steppe]

I put the backups on my C drive but are these correct files for backups?

[supple shoal]

they look right

but was this made by you?

[tranquil steppe]

yes i did

[supple shoal]

so in order to make a Region swap the console has been modded before

[tranquil steppe]

yea i think i have everything (like Luma)

[supple shoal]

just do me a favour

put this in gm9\scripts

and run it

before we attempt putting it back

i want to see what else is messed up in the procees of their region swap

as these sellers take no care in what they do

it's good u have a NAND backup

but i am worried about what horrors these sellers have done to this console

[tranquil steppe]

so i find a way to revert and change it back to jpn?

[supple shoal]

yeah we can do this

[tranquil steppe]

And with the guide thats sent in the pretendo channel

i believe I just mirror the jpn link? i havent used torrents in ages

[supple shoal]

what no no no

utorrent is malware now

use qbittorrent

ah ok

but noted

utorrent was mining crypto from people in 2018 💀

that's not good

and might still be doing it

qbittorrent

i didn't know that

[tranquil steppe]

so my console is back to japanese now, which also changes the language

i guess the guide worked? idk what to do since im not good at reading japanese

[supple shoal]

check if the Eshop opens

[supple shoal]

yeah that's normal

[supple shoal]

google trans

make sure all the functions work too

like DS mode

[tranquil steppe]

Well, I pretty much decided that i should just revert it and return it to amazon

[supple shoal]

yeah do that

[tranquil steppe]

imma just uninstall everything i loaded and reset it

[supple shoal]

be really careful with this

[tranquil steppe]

theres a game store a few minutes away from me, i can just find a new 3ds there if they get any tradeins

[supple shoal]

alright

[tranquil steppe]

or gamestop

[supple shoal]

i am glad i was able to help

at least in reverting it

do u have screen shots of a link to the listing?

[tranquil steppe]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09X23LVRM?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

apparently it said nothing about its region

[supple shoal]

sketchy

[tranquil steppe]

yea weird

[supple shoal]

sorry that happened

[tranquil steppe]

Its alright

when i did revert it my squid sister theme came back

i just lost my animal crossing and tomodachi life data 🙁

[supple shoal]

that's not good

i am really sorry

[tranquil steppe]

its alright

[supple shoal]

i should of asked you to back them up aaaaaaa

[tranquil steppe]

i rather wait for the new tomodachi life

the hair colors were so limited on 3ds

[supple shoal]

yeah no that's my fault

[tranquil steppe]

plus i have new leaf data on azahr

[supple shoal]

alright

that's good at least

you can grab it off that

[tranquil steppe]

i didnt make it that far in tomodachi\

[supple shoal]

the really sketchy thing is you'd never know it was tampared with like that unless you'd go into the Eshop

[tranquil steppe]

ill just grab my azhar data for new leaf somehow maybe

mhm

[supple shoal]

that's easy to grab

https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSM

azahar works with this

[tranquil steppe]

actually half of my apps are gone so like i rather trade it in

[supple shoal]

which apps?

[tranquil steppe]

ill dm

[supple shoal]

hb apps?
