Hey guys, I just brought this N3ds and I was downgrading it to 2.1.0 for al9h.

I successfully follow https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-4-(2.1.0-Downgrade) and completed all the way to "press x and let plaisupdater downgrade to 2.1.0"

The error I am getting is this : 0004013800000002 (NFIRM) : v.00000 -----> v 03553 ----->

after this line the screen go black and the bottom screen states: An error has occurred Hold down the power button, blah blah.

My Rednand is updated/formatted to version 11.0
I am using LUMA 3ds as the CFW.
I am literally following the guide words for words.

Any help toward solving this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks!

P.s, yes I have search with the search function on the forum. People are saying put firmware.bin into luma.. but Idk where to obtain this firmware.bin or where to put it.

In the guide it gives you a link to the firmware.bin and you have to put the said file in the luma folder and then erase the config.bin

Make sure you formatted the rednand twice with tinyformat, as it's known to cause issues if not.

Also it's worth noting this too.

If you are using ReiNand, you MUST be using the latest version (v4.1 or above) or you will be unable to downgrade NATIVE_FIRM on EmuNAND/RedNAND and PlaiSysUpdater will fail 100% of the time.

Actually I don't think the guide does link it anymore. However getting the correct firmware.bin for your device into your /luma/ folder is correct. Being on the latest version of luma should work as well.

Hmm let me ask you to make sure, you downgraded RedNAND, not SysNAND directly, right? :o If so just restore the formatted RedNAND backup and try again!

Sorry for hijacking your topic.

Today I did a9lh on my old 3ds and 2ds. They both previously downgraded from 11 with an hardmod to 9.2J by a friend (I found it a bit strange because I downgraded my new 3ds before from 10.7 and it only downgrade to 9.1J, maybe it's old 3ds only).

The 2DS went smoothly and now fully a9lhed, but my old 3DS always failed at One Click Setup. I tried doing what Plailect's guide said about Stage 1&2 failed (restored sysnand_original and emunand_formatted and continue part 4 Section IV Step 9) a few times already but the error just keep occurred. Does anyone know how to fix it?

So, you still didn't find the firmware.bin file?

You could also use Luma 5.5, I bet you are using an older version.

I'm using Luma 5.5 and both my 2DS and o3DS using same files for the process.

10.xx downgrades used to show 9.1j, due to title mismatch or the 9.2 cias were actually 9.1, yet it wouldnt matter anyway as both versions are merely identical. Was the jp console you are having probs with now hard modded ? Did you check for frankenfirmware too, if not using a hard mod? Then again I don't think you would have got this far in the process if it was.

How many tries you done the 1 click setup? It's one of those problems you might have to keep trying and eventually it should work. Even if it's worked in the past on first tries on other consoles, some consoles can be awkward and just need patience.

Simple things like having the charger plugged in can make a difference too.

Haha can you tell me which part shows this? I'm looking but I just don't see it.
Also I'm trying to get it off my console, should I get firmware.bin from sys or emunand?

USA console, I'll keep trying once I get home. I did the one click 4 times now.
Thanks for your reply!

Download the file and put it in your /luma/ folder.
