Understood... my 2DS was a present. It's possible to proceed with the guide normally then?

Yeah, just make sure it matches one of the sizes listed in the guide, I was a bit confused too but it worked fine.

 

[KaleoOmega]

Right, thanks!

Already did it (@Plailect answered this question on the Reddit sub), now I'm already beginning Part 5 from the guide. Everything running OK so far, hope it stays this way

Im going to start the process again from a 10.6U 2DS, but all I have is OoThax... I hope it will be enough to get started.

Hi,
japanese n3DS here, at the End of Part 4 "Getting the OTP"
-> SysNAND is on 2.1.0-4J -> booting without SD ok, with booted Home-Menu -> reinsert SD-Card
-> but http://dukesrg.github.io/2xrsa.html?arm11.bin gives a >404 File not found<.
I think, the reason is, the SD-Card is invisible through the n3DS?
SD-Card is ok, also a second shows the same problem. arm11.bin is in SD root.
How can I solve this?

Has anyone actually had a successful downgrade with supermysterychunkhax on a N3DS on 10.7? I must have tried 100 times and it is literally having none of it, all i get is Hax Init (with plailect, and black screen with other 10.7 sysupdater) and thats it every single time!

I followed this guide, and all went well until part 5. After installing arm9loaderhax, my New 3DS XL will now only boot to a "Press SELECT to update A9LH" screen (holding select on booting does nothing). If I remove the micro SD card, the system immediately turns off when I power it on (the blue light turns on briefly and then goes off, nothing appears on the screen).

I went through troubleshooting. My Luma firmware.bin is the correct one. Holding start while booting does nothing. And I tried the test payload and it worked as expected, so my device isn't bricked.

What went wrong and how do I fix it?

Thanks.

Take the arm9loaderhax.bin file from luma and put it on the root of ur sd card. Over write the one that's there.

 

[Reynard]

That worked. Thank you so much!

-> but http://dukesrg.github.io/2xrsa.html?arm11.bin gives a >404 File not found<.

It seems, that in the ASCII character set of the japanese n3DS are two >?< (question mark), and I had selected the false.
Now with the right >?< all is going fine.
That's a weight off my mind.

In the meantime the japanese n3DS was transfered with the help of Region Changing Guide in a european n3DS. It works like a charme.
Kudos and many thanks to Plailect and all the involved developers!

Hi, can you please include (v*)hax in the Homebrew section?
Thanks a lot for such a wonderful guide.

This is a secondary exploit that requires an existing entry point to install and is completely worthless for this guide.

Oh yeah, didn't know that sorry. But probably, Installing (v*)hax with smashhax is possible, because, downgrading won't work with smashhax?

Plailect's Guide part 3 step 4

Copy TinyFormat folder from TinyFormat.zip to /3ds/ folder on your SD card

There is no such folder inside.......does he mean the folder TinyFormat_v1.0.0/3ds/TinyFormat to be copied to /3ds/ of sdcard ?

I did this but when i select "Complete Rednand" i get the prompt, but cant press A to continue... The progress percentage will be stuck in 0%

I can click B to cancel though. Any idea whats wrong?
Thank you.

Edit: Its working now

I have a New USA 10.4 with shufflehax and browserhax already installed, with copies of Cubic Ninja and Gateway as backup. How can I backup SysNAND before starting the downgrade? I just want an image for safety.

Hardmod

Great guide, very detailed and thorough.

EDIT: Okay, I'm running into something weird on the final step of part 3. I get an error every time I try to update through System Settings in RedNAND. The update process window appears and then promptly disappears again.

I suppose I could maybe ignore this step (not sure if it is necessary) and just stick 9.2 on my RedNAND for now, or is it essential for the OTP part?

Could I do it with sysupdater? How risky is that, seeing as I don't have a hardmod of any kind?

Trying to update it so you can downgrade it to 2.1? Do you have patched twl/agb on the sysnand you used to make the rednand? If not just downgrade it, if yes get the unpatched twl/agb and reinstall them.
