Really the only reason we can downgrade native_firm like this in the first place without bricking the console is because the kernel/firm check only checks major/minor versions, not the revision. So we can go from 2.50-11 (10.4) all the way down to 2.50-1 (9.6), but not to 2.49-0 (9.5).

lol. I'm flattered that you would say I came up with this idea. I'm probably just the first to fully explain the process here. I didn't come up with the idea. As 3DBrew has said. It was discovered by "everyone". 
Yeah but "everyone" are asshole's unlike youlol. I'm flattered that you would say I came up with this idea. I'm probably just the first to fully explain the process here. I didn't come up with the idea. As 3DBrew has said. It was discovered by "everyone".
This is because if we downgrade the firm to 2.49-0, suddenly all of the system titles that are checking for a 2.50 firm will not load.
No, we do not need a kernel exploit to use this. You need a physical modification made to the circuit board of your 3ds, and access to a 3ds on 9.2 or lower to decrypt some files.
Another kernel exploit would make this entire process useless. An arm11 exploit would allow downgrading just like we had ith mch2 and an arm9 exploit would allow cfw without downgrading.
Gotta have it on every page...
Can I do this without a hard mod?

I became the mod Nazi like Seinfeld's soup Nazi. "NO MOD FOR YOU!"Get to work slave monkey I wanna have a go at this
Can you acheive this without a hardmod?
jk. I'll read your instructions when they're done being under revision and then make a video tutorial (after i get enough money to buy another 3ds).
So, after we get to 10.2 from 10.4/10.5, we can use sysUpdater to downgrade to 9.2?[/spoiler

No, I already know that this needs a hardmod. I sacrified my ds to find out if this would work, as in a previous thread I was the one who instigated all this madness. What I'm saying is that we would need to find an exploit to write to the nand so the general mass could use this, or a variation of it.
yeah, arm11 exploit. sorry for my wording ;P I'm new to the software scheme of things.
A video tutorial would help a lot of people, even if they have a proper understanding and/or have a general idea. Most guides are interpreted in an odd way for most people, including me. A video would display the steps in a way that is universal.

A software exploit that could allow writing/reading from nand will always need Arm11 Kernel access as a minimum requirement (and most likely Arm9 access too). If Am11 exploit is found again, we wouldn't need to do this anyway cause then you can just downgrade with sysupdater straight away. A hardmod will always be needed for this kind of update for a firmware that has no Arm11 access.
ah, okay. Didn't understand how sysupdater worked with directly downgrading. Thanks.
When would someone gain direct arm9 or arm11 access? Would certain 3ds games need direct access? If so, couldn't we inject said games and hijack from there, just like the good old ps2 days with elfloader and such?

Jayro:
Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1
