same thing its the second time it has happened and it happened to my friend as well.

It says either is a directory or that the hs.app was not created

Try putting the Universal Inject Generator folder in the root of your hard drive before running it.

first of all, thanks a bunch for taking of your time doing this guide. So my question is really simple, Im at 9.7 (yes this is an old 3ds that has not been used for quite awhile) so I can use this guide to downgrade to 9.2? or I need to update to the latest firmware?

Well, I don't know what to tell you other than 'Try it on Windows instead'.

You could just get a friend that runs Windows or Linux to run the script.
I've tried it in every single possible manner and the script works just fine under Linux and Windows.
It's got to be an OSX-specific problem.
In any case, could you paste the specific output when you try to run go.sh?
Copy and paste it from the terminal so I can tell what's going on.

Exact output.
"hs.app not created" doesn't tell me anything, pretty much anything could've gone wrong between the start and finish.
Select everything between you running the snippet I pasted a page ago and the last line and copy and paste it here.

#!/bin/bash

if [ -e input/hs.app ]
then for x in input/*.cia; do . tools/process.sh $x input/hs.app; done
else printf "ERROR: hs.app not found\nPlease generate hs.app with Decrypt9 and put it into the input folder\n"
fi

That's just the go.sh script.
You're not getting an error, you're opening the script in a text editor.
Rename go.sh to go.command and double-click it. That should make it actually run.
At that point I realized that the Linux build of ctrtool and 3dstool wouldn't make the cut to be run in OSX for obvious reasons and I need to sleep soon.

Well, see the edit above anyway.
Your best bet is to skip over injecting FBI and install FBI.cia directly by running FBI.3dsx through the Homebrew Menu through Browserhax in emuNAND.

how do I know if I am on emuNAND

how do I know if I am on emuNAND

Running CakesFW with all the patches and configuration enabled means that you're in emuNAND.
Otherwise, there's no real way of telling.

first of all, thanks a bunch for taking of your time doing this guide. So my question is really simple, Im at 9.7 (yes this is an old 3ds that has not been used for quite awhile) so I can use this guide to downgrade to 9.2? or I need to update to the latest firmware?

I'm wondering the same.

I've been trying for the past two days to downgrade to o3ds 9.2 from o3ds 9.7 using sysupdater 0.4.2b.

 

[WakingMavUp]

How's the situation for new3ds right now?
Still higher possibility to brick it or not?

Is the cakesFW emunand firmware supposed to just say ver. 9.2.0-20U? How can I tell it's on emunand and not sysnand? I get the cakesFW boot screen, go to select patches, check everything (such as enable emunand, disable signature checks, etc), and then boot the CFW. Then when I go to system settings it still shows the firmware as ver. 9.2.0-20U. There's nothing to indicate it's on emunand as opposed to sysnand. I can't find anything online either showing how to confirm if cakesFW emunand installed correctly or not.

Is there any way I can check? I'm not going to try working with or updating my 'emunand' at all unless I'm 100% sure it's emunand.

This is exactly what happened to me I guess I have to start from scratch and not power down my device until I've noticed I'm in emuNAND and updated another way to check that the emuNAND has booted up is to move over to health and safety and it the image on the top screen changes to FBI then I guess that means it has booted emuNAND up and your clear to update..

But after the update on the emuNAND do you launch it with the L trigger??

It should be okay to downgrade.
I've heard people saying you shouldn't downgrade to 9.2 without first upgrading to 10.3, but that makes no sense.
As for N3DS, it's still a bit hit and miss, but most that seems to happen nowadays is partial downgrades and the occasional softbrick.
Indeed, CakesFW does not have a version string patch, so your best way of knowing whether or not you're in emuNAND is checking out Health & Safety and seeing if it's been replaced with FBI instead. That's the most surefire way of knowing you're in emuNAND and it's safe to run system update.

Our 9.5 O3DS was downgraded to 9.2 so it won't be a problem, though when I tried downgraded a 9.9 N3DS to 9.2, I've got an error after several cias installed. but luckily it still boots normally in 9.2 already.

But as I've said, the whole downgrade process wasn't successful so I upgraded it to 10.3 then tried downgrading again, no issues encountered afterward. Oh by the way we have 3 N3DS, the one that I mentioned was our 3rd unit, my 1st unit and attempt in downgrading was from 9.9 to 9.2 and no errors encountered, the 2nd unit was from 9.6 but it already has the update nag so i proceed with the update to 10.3, successful downgraded as well.
