I updated my 4.5 o3ds sysnand using gw with 2.2 launcher and a rom with 9.2.
It got me to 9.2.0-10, then I made a new emunand, used the 3dnus 9.2.0-20 cias on it and I got to 9.2.0-20 which I then flashed to sysnand using gw.

Easy and no brick.

I'm doing this guide because a lot of peoples asked how to do that recently.
I won't talk about the n3ds because ninjhax (which is required for the pasta cfw) doesn't work on 8.1J, and there's is no point in upgrading a 9.0 n3ds.

1. Download and launch 3DNUS
2. Type 9.2.0-20 in title id, and your region in version (EUR, USA or JPN)
3. It will create a 9.2.0-20 folder and download a bunch of cias in it, while it's downloading, download sysupdater and put the cia version on your sd card, then create a 'updates' folder in your sdcard root.
4. After the download finished, copy all the cias files from the 9.2.0-20 folder to the updates folder
5. Start Pasta, install sysupdater.
6. Launch sysupdater then follow the instructions


PS : If you're on 4.X, you can also use PBT instead of Pasta, but never upgrade while in gateway mode or you'll likely brick your console.

you missed an important point:

7. You can eat some Pasta during the installation process.

So I just tried this. Atempted to install 9.2.0-20 USA and the 3DS ended up in 9.0.0-20.
Plus 2 CIA files could not be installed (not even with DevMenu). 0004001000021300 (Health and Safety Information ) and 0004001B00018202.

I have accidentaly a wrong version wroted in 3Nus.
I wrot 9.2.0-20 E instead 9.2.0-20 EUR.
And now i have updated my 3ds to 9.0.0-20E.
But i have backed up my NAND in GW launcher mode (4.5.0-10e) before i updated the system.

Can i restoring the NAND via GW launcher and start the update process from the begining?

Now Pasta has a bootable Launcher.dat for 4.x.
It uses GW Bluecard installer to boot.
If using this to boot Pasta, will the sysupdater brick the 4.x console?
