StarlitSkies: guide to obtaining a nonfunctional console's movable.sed, including through cleaninty if no backups are available

2023-04-09T00:00:16Z

guide to obtaining a nonfunctional console's movable.sed, including through cleaninty if no backups are available

New page

If you require a console's <code>movable.sed</code> for some purpose but the console is not usable enough to obtain it directly, there are multiple potential methods to obtain the <code>movable.sed</code> in a usable format.

{{warning|Ensure the Yes/No prompts are answered correctly before you read the solution the page returns. The solution changes drastically based on what you have available.}}
----
== Instructions ==
Do you have a backup of the console, either <code>essentials.exefs</code> or a NAND backup (a name in the format of <code><date>_<serialnumber>_sysnand_###.bin</code>)?<br>
These files may be found in <code>sd:gm9/out</code> on the console's SD card, or on your PC in a place you keep backups.

<tabber>

|-|Yes=

----

Do you have access to a 3DS that can launch [[3DS:GodMode9|GodMode9]]?

{{#tag:tabber|
Yes=

<big>Solution:</big>

# Copy your backup onto the 3DS that can access GodMode9, in the folder <code>sd:/gm9/out</code>.
# Boot into GodMode9 (hold START while powering on), go into the <code>SDCARD</code> drive, then into the <code>gm9/out</code> folder.
# Select the backup file and choose <code>_____ image options...</code>, then <code>Mount image to drive</code>. It will ask whether to enter the mount. Press {{B|A}}.
# Select the <code>movable.sed</code> and choose to '''Copy to 0:/gm9/out'''. If it asks to overwrite a file, let it overwrite.
#* For an <code>essentials.exefs</code>, the <code>movable</code> that is immediately visible is the correct file.
#* For a NAND backup, the <code>movable.sed</code> inside the <code>private</code> folder is the correct file.
# Press {{B|B}} until you have returned to the drive list, press {{B|R}}+{{B|X}} to unmount the image, and then power off. <code>movable.sed</code> will be in the folder <code>gm9/out</code> on the SD card.

{{!}}-{{!}}
No=

<big>Solution:</big>

You will need to use [[ninfs]] to mount the backup on a PC and then pull the <code>movable.sed</code> out of the mount.

Ensure you have a copy of the file <code>boot9.bin</code>, as ninfs requires it to work. This file can be obtained through [[3DS:fastboot3DS|fastboot3DS]] or GodMode9 on any working 3DS that has CFW installed, or from the folder <code>sd:/luma/backups</code> on the SD card of a console that has previously been modded.

Do you have the console's <code>otp.bin</code> and know both its serial number & eShop region?

'''OTP''': <code>otp.bin</code> may be found in <code>sd:/luma/backups</code> or <code>sd:/gm9/out</code> on the console's SD card, and can be dumped through GodMode9 or [[3DS:fastboot3DS|fastboot3DS]] even if most of the console is unusuable.<br>
'''Serial Number''': The serial number can be found on the back side of the 3DS, except on a 2DS XL where it will be under the game card/SD card slot's cover. If the serial is not immediately visible, it may be under the backplate or under the battery. However, note that if the console's motherboard has been swapped at any point, this serial is likely to be incorrect.<br>
'''eShop Region''': If you have never done a SOAP transfer before and your serial is accurate to your current motherboard, your console's eShop region will match its serial number. You can check what region this means on [https://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/Serials 3dbrew's serials page.]

{{#tag:tabber|

Yes=

<big>Solution:</big>

You will need to install [[3DS:Cleaninty|cleaninty]]. Once all constants are set up, attempt to run <code>RecoverIVS</code> and/or <code>GetIVS</code>. If the commands work as intended but cleaninty cannot obtain the correct <code>movable.sed</code> for your console, you will need another method.

{{!}}-{{!}}

No=

<big>Solution:</big>

If you have the console on hand and its power LED lights up when you attempt to boot it, join [https://discord.gg/C29hYvh the Nintendo Homebrew Discord] and ask for help - there may be an alternate solution available.

If this is not the case, unfortunately, you cannot recover your <code>movable.sed</code> at this time. If you obtain more of the console's data, revisit this guide.
