I believe the only way to downgrade the firmware currently is to hardmod the 3DS to allow for NAND dumping/restoring using some separate hardware (apparently, 4 points need to be soldered). And the only way to really downgrade using this method is to restore an earlier firmware version NAND from that console using this separate hardware. I'm pretty sure this is all still in very early stages of development, though.
tl;dr: Not for most of us.
He can't, because the firmware always is encrypted with a key specific to that 3DS and we don't have access to that key. You can only downgrade from a 3DS you already have dumped a previous Firmware version, due to the specific keys you can't just mix Firmwares between 3DSs.seems that the new flashcart can backup NAND (im not a pro at this stuff, since im not a huge fan of nintendo), can't he just, as you said, use another console containing 4.5 and back up it's NAND, then restore it on his console?
Well anything 2012 new will have 4.5 or below as anything above wasnt released unless ur console has a time machine.
I assume thread makers console isnt a new console even if he purchased it as new.
Frankly, I have no idea. Are you saying they could've reboxed new 3ds consoles with an old 2012 box?
Seriously, if all this stuff was possible don't you think we would have done it by now?Thanks for the obvious clarification, but he could've shouted many fucks in the street if there was a way to downgrade, as he expected something else than 5.1, and that he'll have to go through hell to downgrade.
