3DS:Recover movable.sed

If you require a console's  for some purpose but cannot obtain it directly from the NAND for some reason, there are still multiple potential ways to reobtain its.

Instructions
Do you have a backup of the console, either  or a NAND backup (a   file between 0.9GB and 1.3GB that has nand in its name)? These files may be found in  on the console's SD card, or on your PC in a place you keep backups.


 * -|Yes=

Solution:

You will need to use ninfs to mount the backup on a PC and then pull the  out of the mount.

Ensure you have a copy of the file, as ninfs requires it to work. This file can be obtained through fastboot3DS or GodMode9 on any working 3DS that has CFW installed, or from the folder  on the SD card of a console that has previously been modded.

This may not work depending on how and when the backup was created, in which case you will need an alternate method.

Do you have the console's  and know its eShop region?

OTP:  file may be found on the console's SD card in   or , and you may be able to dump it through either GodMode9 or fastboot3DS even if most of the console is unusuable. eShop Region: If your console has never had a SOAP transfer or a motherboard swap before, there are several potential ways to find the serial number to determine it.
 * Serial Label: The serial label can be found on/under the backplate of the 3DS or under the battery, except on a 2DS XL where it will be under the game card/SD card slot cover. Once found, check its serial number against [this page] to determine your region.
 * SecureInfo: This file may be found on the console's SD card in, or on its NAND in the folder   if it can boot into GodMode9. When opened in the hexeditor, the end of this file contains the serial number. Check it against 3dbrew, as above.
 * inspect.log: This file can normally only be found through GodMode9, and is on the NAND in the folder . When opened in either the hexeditor or textviewer, this file contains the serial number. Check it against 3dbrew, as above.
