This article may be outdated due to a new Nintendo 3DS system firmware release. It was written for system version 11.16.0-49, but 11.17.0-50 is the latest. |
If a custom keyboard is installed and custom firmware is removed from the console, System Settings will be inaccessible and you will not be able to launch the keyboard. This is obviously detrimental to the overall functioning of your 3DS and should be fixed as soon as possible.
There are other ways to reinstall custom firmware on such a console, but they may require additional hardware. This guide aims to reinstall custom firmware without any additional hardware, but if you have the means, ntrboot will probably be less of a pain.
Unbricking a 3DS with a custom keyboard installed
| Info icon | If you have a copy of any of the following:
YOU DO NOT NEED TO MINE YOUR SEED AGAIN. For instructions on extracting yourmovable.sed from your NAND backup or from essentials.exefs, see this page. |
| Info icon | If Internet access isn't currently set up, you can set up an Internet connection from Safe Mode as the keyboard will still work there (hold L+R+↑+A on boot, then follow its prompts). |
| Critical icon | Do not uninstall custom firmware again without guidance. You've now seen first-hand how it can go wrong. |
 |
If you can't install Steel Diver: Sub Wars, (NOT Steel diver) there's no point following the rest of this guide and you should choose another method. you can also check if its in your reinstall list. |
Section I: Mii mining
| Info icon | If you already have your movable.sed, you can skip this section. |
Because you can't enter a friend code due to the broken keyboard, you'll need to get your console's encryption key a different way. We can accomplish this by Mii mining.
Follow Mii mining to extract the movable.sed from your console, but do not continue onto the main guide as it suggests. Come back to this page once you have the movable.
Section II: steelhax
Now that you have your movable.sed, continue to Homebrew Launcher (steelhax).
If everything went well, you should end up with boot9strap installed and the keyboard / System Settings should work again.
