I hope that they get 11.3 cracked. My GF's son just updated my 3DS to 11.3. I bought it it was 10.6. I left it at the house and went to work, he grabbed it and put in one of his 2DS games and played. While doing that, he thought he'd be nice and upgrade the firmware for me. :ohnoes::cry:

From a previous marriage...Good kid, just doesn't do hacking at all and didn't know that's what I bought it for. He even created a "Mii" that looked like...well....me. I just couldn't get mad at him for trying to be nice and bond.

Hi, I have a backup with Frimware 11.2. Can I downgrade my console?
Yes with a hardmod or DSiWarehax from transferring from another hacked console (assuming you don't have a9lh otherwise you would not need to downgrade).

Edit: the NAND backup has to be from your console. Restoring someone else's will brick your 3DS.

They're on 11.3, which patched both of those methods. They're stuck on 11.3 because they don't have a9lh.

what if we downgrade everything on computer except the 3DS boot loader, like we do in PS3 to downgrade and dump back the Nand (y)

Good luck doing that when everything on the NAND aside from the FIRMs is encrypted. You could do that with xorpads, sure. But without them? If you end up with anything usable, you're either a magitek wizard, or putting Lady Luck to shame.

Not possible due to the hardware encryption/console-specific keys that the 3DS utilizes. The only way to get access to the NAND and the crypto hardware needed to do this is an ARM9 exploit, at which point downgrading is not necessary (except currently to 2.1 to get the OTP).

DSiWarehax gets you access to the NAND, but with no way to decrypt the CTRNAND.

I have a theory, CTRTRANSFER files are like NAND backups compatible for any console.
CTRNAND contains home menu data, so, what if a hardmod was made, and instead of restoring an older NFIRM, we restore a ctrtransfer.

That doesn't work. CTRTransfers aren't magical console-independent NAND backups that can be restored that way. They are encrypted using the 3DS's crypto hardware during the process. You can't do a ctrtransfer with a NAND backup alone.
