I'm in need of some minor assistance. I've downgraded a few 3DS before but they were all under 10.7. I'm having trouble trying to downgrade a 10.7 cause every time I do the check in the safesysupdater there's a failure. I assume it's not safe to just delete that file. So, any help on how to downgrade?

You probably got corrupted or wrong files. Try looking for the files online (they should say .ttp at the end of them, change them to .rar and use somthing like WinRAR or 7-ZIP). Open the files and move them to the folder on your SD (forgot the name of it because I haven't used this in a long time when downgrading although I downgraded O3DS 11.2.0-35U and N3DS 11.0.0 (Some number here) U. When I downgraded I managed to downgrade to a firmware low enough to install A9LH and Luma CFW and updated back up to 11.0.0 and finally updated to the latest version). After that try again.

If you mean the numbered file inside the downgrade zip they're .cia files. But I even downloaded the ones I had before when I downgraded the other systems and still get the same failure.

Did you make sure to get the correct files for the correct system (EX. O3DS - O3DS CIA Files, N3DS CIA Files, 2DS - O3DS CIA Files)?

Yup yup. I'm rather paranoid about a lot of things so I'll check that stuff multiple times before I even click download.

There is currently a tutorial that let's you downgrade, install A9LH + Luma CFW and update back to the version you are on. It works on versions 11.0-11.2 (Yes, up to the latest version.). The only thing is that the tutorial is in Spanish, but I think you can do it if you follow along slowly and carefully. If anyone wants the link to the video then ask me. It also works on any type of 3DS (Either O3DS or N3DS as I was successful on both. Including my friends O3DS XL). BTW, I can translate it for you if you want on what to do and follow as I know the steps on how to do it and know Spanish as well. :P

Well, never heard of it, but the tutorial is quite simple. All you really have to do is have a trustworthy SD card that is not likely to corrupt during a process or something (don't worry if this happens as I know there is a tutorial on how to fix this) and also just look for any errors encountered as we do not want any of those. There is a small possibility of a soft-brick during the process, but it is rather very low to happen (also there is a tutorial of fixing this as well if it does happen by any means).

3ds.guide is the guide that most people trusts and everyone recommends. Also its easier to troubleshoot for us who helps on the Temp
