I have been downgrading, I used the Steelhax and Fieldrunner so my issue is that I have followed this step by step and my device is on 2.51-0 for the Kernel and FIRM. I have no idea what I can do to get this to the lower point. Does anyone have any idea what I am to do?!?

Than you downgraded to 11.0
Use the 11.0 to 10.4 downgrader
I have used the downgrader, the plailect tutorial says that it will still say 11.1.0-34U

I have used the DSiWare hax to get it working.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Hardmod or dsiwarehax with another 3DS that has CFW. Only options as of now

How I did it is that I setup the DSiWare downgrade with steelhax and Fieldrunner. I then did the transfer to the new 3DS and I dumped my n3ds bin and I then went to the steelhax homebrew to check the version and it kept showing that version

Now I did another downgrade to 10.4.0 and now my 2.51-2 and it will go back down to 2.51-0

dump my OTP? I don't think I have done this before I don't think I've done that before.
From what I understand above my post, you were on 11.X and you used the DSiWare Downgrade to get to something (around 10.X), and followed the guide to downgrade to 2.5, yes?
If you are on 2.5, and it reads as 11.1, just dump your OTP.
If you have homebrew access, use 3DSident to verify you are on 2.5

I'm not on 2.5 yet. It says 11.1.0-34U but says that it will downgrade to 10.4. So I'm at that point and I have an entrypoint for Homebrew but I don't know what to do next. The guide says to used 3DSident to see what Kernel and FIRM version is and it says you have to get one of those to 2.50-0 but mine is 2.51-0 and sometimes is 2.51-2 I can't get it to go anylower

Alright, I will try to do my best organize it as much as possible. I have an O3DS which is on a CFW and on 11.1.0-34U. I setup the Fieldrunner and SteelHax to downgrade to 9.2 on my N3DS which is 11.1.0-34U. I transferred the information using the File Transfer. Both of them are working, Fieldrunner and Steelhax is working. I then went into fieldrunner to dump the F0F1_N3DS.BIN to back it up. I then went and downgrade the FIRM to 10.4, it said it was fully successful. I sent into SteelDiver to open the Homebrew and then I went to 3DSident to how that my Kernel and Firm version is 2.51-0 currently. I don't know how I will get it down to 2.5 so that I can downgrade the firmware to 9.2. I have no idea what to do about it at this time. I won't be able to do the downgrade as it shows the am:u failed thing.

I think if you get the am:u failed, you just keep trying until it works. Some of the exploits used in downgrading especially are unstable and may not work the first time.

In the DSiWare Downgrade forum by Plailect it says to check the version of ur Kernel and FIRM to see if you are on 2.5 and if not you have to redo it. Mine isn't so I'm trying some other things to see if I have any luck

    What's the point of "confirming" games you know will get released. Like Nintendo "confirming" a Zelda sequel. "We can't be sure Nintendo is working on a new Zelda game, or if a new Zelda game will ever be released, until they officially confirm it."

    "There is literally no way to know if they will ever release a new Zelda game, it's wild speculation until they officially confirm it."
