Yes, they are different but pretty similar at the end about their job. SYSUPDATER is used to update your console in certain case like yours. SAFESYSUPDATER is used only to downgrade (then you should even delete it).

Good stuff. I'll run the upgrade to 10.3 now and report back.

You have to press A to proceed with the update. Then just WAIT.

So I pressed A and it said it had failed. I exited and now when I go back into sysupdater it just hangs on a black screen? I can still reboot the console and access HBL.

Yes, I read just now that you can update via sysupdater only using the cia version of it, nvm. So at this point you have to place safesysupdater into "3ds" folder, delete all the content of the updates folder placed into the root of your sd and place here the contet of the 9.2 fw. This time everything will work fine.

Ok, so we'll actually just be downgrading from 9.9 straight to 9.2 correct? And no longer dealing with 10.3

Ok so it seems to have downgraded fine. I'm at the part where it is trying to reboot in 10 secs nad to power off the device if it fails to do so, which I think it has. I'll give it another minute and power off myself if its still there.

So I powered it off and switched back on and it just sticks at a black screen?

Yes, it always better wait maybe even 10 mins before decide to turn off manually the console.

Success! We have 9.2.0-20E on the console. I'm gonna take a short break and continue after that. RxTools is the next step you say? Once I get Menuhax back of course.

Actually, the console hangs on a black screen on startup when the SD Card is inserted. I'll delete the files I no longer need to see if that helps. Any ideas?

Congratulation and welcome to the 9.2 master race B-). Now you have just to follow the tutorial about setting up rxtools. It's extremely clear and complete. Remember that you want to install reinand before update your EMUNAND to 10.5.

Try to reboot, insert the sd and then change the theme.

I have rebooted, inserted SD Card and can now change the theme. Do I need to change theme to get rid of Themehax to be able to reinstall it again? Can I just select any theme?

Nvm, changed theme and now loads perfectly with SD Card inserted. Am I back to trying to reinstall Menuhax all over again? :rofl2:

Exactly. I like keep the default one (white) set into sysnand and a different one into emunand in order to recognize them. Also, into the folder called nintendo 3ds you shoud find 2 folders called with random letters and numbers. One of them it's from your previous nand and you should consider to delete it 'cause it's useless now.

EDiT: it's better wait and set up emunand before cause this process will format your sd. You should consider to use the gateway launcher in order to set up emunand. Here the link: http://www.gateway-3ds.com/downloads/

Yep.

Awesome stuff dude.

You literally have no idea how grateful I am for the help. Because of it I'm provided some hlep to another trying to do what I've just done.

I'll take a break and report back once I have menuhax back.

Again, thank you a ton.
