This is the best DSi NAND repair tool out there, offering features such as:

  • Fixing MBR
  • Formatting FAT partitions
  • Fixing Stage2 (NandFirm)
  • Recovering deleted HWInfo secure
  • Installing minimal firmware titles and unlaunch
  • Lots of useful NAND diagnostic info

Why do these matter? You can create a new working NAND from scratch! No backups needed (but still recommended)!

Notes

  • I am including my own hostile and outdated fork of libfat. This is to block nand_Startup() during fatMount(). Without this having a NAND re-mount would run nand_Startup() more than once and break every NAND R/W function until reboot...
  • I do not use the release NandFirm/stage2/bootloader (v2435-8325). Instead I use newer NandFirms as listed below. These NandFirms are able to run unlaunch, however they will stop the installer from working ("unknown bootcode version"). Unlaunch installs carry a brick risk by sometimes erasing the Launcher TMD, so this will somewhat forcefully encourage users to move to a safer installer. Normally I'm against intentionally breaking things but this will prevent future bricks.
    • v2265-9336 (prod)
