System Transfer Old 3ds to New 3ds Gateway Emunand

System Transfer Old 3ds to New 3ds Gateway Emunand

I have been meaning to write this guide for a while. I held off on it for a long time due to the overwhelming amount of steps it use to take to spoof and downgrade emunand. Now that I am able to make it brick and idiot proof I feel as if everyone should have the chance to system transfer the easy way. Please try to keep questions to the guide and I will do my best to help

Requirements

O3ds 4.x-9.2
N3ds 9.0-9.2 (If on 8.1 you're sol at the moment)
This file pack
9.2 Cia update

Note to official 9.3+ firmware people, the only way I have found to transfer to n3ds emunand is to first transfer to another o3ds with emunand or custom firmware then use that to transfer to n3ds emunand.

Pre-requirements

You need to have emunand setup on both o3ds and n3ds and make sure you access the eshop at least once on both units. Make sure to make a backup of both emunands using emunand tool. Your n3ds and o3ds emunand must be between 9.0 and 9.5. If your 3ds has a higher emunand then 9.6 we will need to downgrade to transfer. If you have an emunand lower than 9.0 acquire 9.2.0-20 USA/EUR/JPN cia files and install using BBM title manager

To downgrade first acquire 9.2.0-20 USA/EUR/JPN for the old 3ds. Once done put all the cia files in the folder named "updates" that is in the file you download from me. Once all the cia files are in the folder copy all the files to the root of the sd card of the o3ds. Use a cia installer to install sysupdater and run the program. Once loaded click Y to downgrade. Once done emunand should be either 9.0-9.2. Now with a acceptable emunand version we can continue

System Transfer

Once both n3ds and o3ds have acceptable firmwares between 9.0 and 9.5 install FreemultiPatcher.cia to emunand. Once installed run it and click start to boot back to the home screen. Make sure you're connected to the internet and goto settings and click system transfer. I know people will not like this part but you MUST do an over the air transfer; it's the only option that keeps emunand intact and doesn't make you restart your device. Yes it will take a while depending on how much stuff you have so just let it run overnight or something. Once complete you should now have everything on your n3ds. If once done the transfer you find yourself in a post transfer loop that it asks you to update emunand simply shut down your wireless router and cancel the transfer. Once you access eshop for the first time everything should automatically finish and appear as transferred. Thanks guza98 for the tip on fixing this

If you run into an error on the new 3ds saying you need to update then you have a downgraded system settings. All you need to do is download the correct cia file, install it and try again

USA = 0004001000021000 v8203 MD5: 5077D839633EC80E7A9D3CA98B794D4B
EUR = 0004001000022000 v8202 MD5: 7D9E073A6349DDEF77E67B2102B4EEA5
JPN = 0004001000020000 v9224 MD5: 375EDB36DA62AE44D4D8C91DAB854573

-Enjoy

Hi there. I have a NA o3ds on sysNAND 4.5 and emuNAND on 9.5. I also have a EUR n3ds on both sys and emu NAND on 9.0. I wanted to ask something. If i switch my n3ds emuNAND to a NA 9.5, will i be able to transfer my o3ds emuNAND, NNID, and mh4u save to my n3ds without issue?

Sorry for the double post, but does anyone know? I would really appreciate it.

Just want to confirm that sysupdater is to be run whilst in gateway mode emunand correct? Just a big warning when I enter the sysupdater app about bricking and I'd rather avoid that.

I've some noobish questions about system transfer.. (Its was not answered in the other tread)

I've a original Ambassador 3DS fw 8.1 without NNID and a New 3DS fw 10.1 with NNID.
The two without any custom firmware.
And I saw a spanish video showing a working 10.1 emunand, using the rxTools.

1. If I install that rxTools emunand in the Ambassadored 3DS, the emunand retains the ambassador games?
2. If yes, can I do a system transfer the ambassadored emunand to to my New 3DS sysnand and keep the ambassador games in the old 3DS sysnand?
3. If before the system transfer I install an unsigned cia in sysnand of the ambassadored, can I keep it in the old and the New 3DS after the transfer?
4. Can I uninstall the emunand and keep my ambasador games and unsigned cia in the sysnand of my old?
5. And can I do a System format in my New 3DS to unlink the NNID, do a system transfer (Ambassador to New) and relink my NNID to the New one?
6. If yes, the relinked NNID will retain my ambassador games and unsigned cia in the sysnand of the New?

Sorry about my engrish, I'm not a native speaker..

Don't want to post the same thing twice but would anyone be willing to answer the question? Fairly simple just want to know of sysupdater is to be run on gateway mode emunand, or if I need to setup something else to run it with.

I currently have an O3DS with CFW on it as well as an N3DS XL (my main 3DS) without CFW on it, and updated to near-latest. I'm soon going to buy an N3DS (non-xl) and would like to get the data from the N3DS XL to the N3DS. Due to the 9.5 emunand limitation on the N3DS, I thought this might not be possible, but after seeing this thread I have regained hope. Here is how I think I would do it:

Transfer N3DS XL data to N3DS
1. backup emunand on O3DS (I want it back how it was after this is done)
2. transfer N3DS XL sysnand to O3DS emunand
3. downgrade O3DS emunand to 9.5
4. install CFW on N3DS
5. install freemultipatcher on both O3DS and N3DS
6. system transfer from O3DS to N3DS

Would this work okay?

edit: just realized I can't transfer from N3DS XL to O3DS.. guess I'm fucked

Yes it works fine

Hello i have a little problem : all works fine with my new 3ds(RX-E9.0.0-20) but i have the error 022-2511 on my 3ds (asking me to update) just after i log my NNID .
Before i have already downgrade it (RX10.3 to RX9.2.0-20E). I have used the 9.2.0-20E(full) on a iso site.
I tried to install 9.0mset on the same site but didn't work.
Where did i made a mistake?
My 3ds is unlinked so as my new 3ds.

Edit : done i have found the solution : install the latest NVER for my old 3ds

So I've gone through the steps listed and unfortunately every time I boot up emunand on my N3DS it just gives an error when connecting to the internet and then shuts down. Any idea how I could get around this?

I ran the multifreepatch, but when I connect to the servers on the source system to authorize my NNID transfer, it tells me I need to update still. any ideas?

Now that reinand supports 10.3 for the emunand is it possible to do a system transfer from an O3DS XL running 10.3 OFW to a N3DS XL emunand running 10.3?

Last night, I did a 10.5.0-30U o3DS XL emuNAND to 10.5.0-30U n3DS emuNAND system transfer, the full type where all of the SD data was migrated via wireless from system to system and it worked fine with a minor hiccup on at the end when it went to verify the NNID on the new system. For whatever reason, it was throwing up an error 028-3220. This post from a different thread had a solution to the issue and that allowed me to proceed with the setup. All of my *.cia files survived the transfer, but it took going into FBI and attempting a reinstall (it'll fail out with an error immediately) for the Home Menu to recognize that the software is there. After that, everything was good to go; as far as I could tell, everything survived the system transfer.
