Hacking Upgrade DSTWO firmware problem

[TinyRick]

I have a 3DS-XL running 7.0.0-13U firmware and I have accidentally upgraded to this firmware before upgrading the DSTWO that I have. I have tried renaming the update file "dstwoupdate.dat" to "dstwoupdateb.dat" and then leaving it on the error message for 20 minutes a few times, but no such luck. Any ideas?

Update with a ds or a lower firmware 3ds. Pretty much all you can do

I was hoping that I could do it without finding a lower firmware ds though.

The SuperCard DSTWO Beginner's Guide: How to Set Up the DSTWO and More By Terminator02

Good news for those of you who accidentally updated before updating your DSTWO, it is possible to update from your 3DS, however this method is risky, and not recommended if you can use the normal method in the above spoiler.

In order for this method to work, your 3DS must already recognize the DSTwo and show this icon (if it doesn't show up you're gonna have to use the normal upgrade method in the above spoiler).

This icon simply tells you that the DSTWO is already on a firmware that supports this upgrade method, if you already had firmware 1.13 or above on your DSTWO, this method should work.


1. Download the latest firmware from the top of this post.

2. Extract "dstwoupdate.dat" to the root of your microsd card and rename it to "dstwoupdateb.dat".

3. Put your microsd card into your DSTwo and insert it into your 3DS.

4. Turn on the 3DS and launch the DSTwo, you will see this screen.

Stay on this screen, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING, and just wait and wait for 3 minutes,IF YOU TOUCH ANYTHING YOU MAY BRICK YOUR DSTWO.

5. After the 3 minutes is up, turn off the 3DS, then put the microsd card back into your computer and delete "dstwoupdateb.dat".

6. You can now put your microsd card back into your DSTwo, and back into your 3DS, and now your DSTwo should be on the latest firmware, and it should work normally on your 3DS on the latest firmware.

It's risky if not followed you may have bricked your DStwo
step 5 is there so it dose not start step 4 again

I've tried that, but no luck. Tried formatting the card as well with windows as well as using software.
