Hey guys,

i got a broken 3DS, which can't read games and is on version 2.1.0-4E. Is there any way to install CFW on it? The browser exploits just crash :(

Is it then actually possible to use another 3DS, which I downgrade to do a system transfer and then use a game, which is transfered?

I think you have to be completely updated to do that. But I'm not entirely sure. I say give it a shot and hope for success.

yes you are right, i didn't think about it correctly :/

I can only think of one way and I am not 100% sure it will work and that's download play
i tried it, but it sadly just asks to update and then tells me that the connection is lost

Download play never transfer firmwares.
It pops up the nag but when you click OK it tells you to upgrade it on your own.

All TC need to do is to repair his 2.1.0-4E's cartridge slot.

Sadly I am not good and doing such things and letting somebody do it is probably too expensive, so I guess I will have to let it be like this

That's not true, With a cartridge version of the game (no digital version) the update is transferred and update the console.

How do you know that? Did you try it? I used an eshop game to do that so your theory might be (hopefully) right.

Yes, I updated one 3DS to 9.2 using the Download Play of Cooking Mama Bon Appetit
Sounds really promising I will try it ASAP. Thank you for your advice.
Edit: Do I need to update to a firmware like 4.x? Because the browser does not get updated so I can't use browserhax... Or is it possible to update to 9.2 to use themehax?

Upgrade first to 4.x-6.x (Mario Kart Rev02 has 4.3 and Download Play) then install rxtools and use dev mode with sysupdater to update to 9.2

Prior to performing download play, it is checked whether or not it is necessary to update firmware of a slave apparatus. When it is necessary to update the firmware of the slave apparatus, a firmware update program is transmitted from a master apparatus to the slave apparatus, and the firmware of the slave apparatus is updated in accordance with the firmware update program. Thus, it is possible to update basic software by a novel method.

Further, according to the above embodiment, the slave apparatus program that is downloaded from the master apparatus to the slave apparatus in download play is stored in the nonvolatile memory of the slave apparatus. Thus, when download play of the same game is performed again after the slave apparatus is powered off, it is not necessary to download the slave apparatus program from the master apparatus again, and the waiting time until download play is started can be shortened. In addition, time and effort for an operation of the user can be omitted.

Source Nintendo, I have always assumed it would have worked but have not had a chance to try it

download play includes updates if the people sharing the game is using the gamecart, just be sure to update to 4.x

With which game did you try it? I asked a friend for his copy of Luigi's Mansion 2, he will bring it to me tomorrow so I will test it and tell you if it worked, I really hope so

if LM2 haves download play then it's perfect because it's exactly 4.5
This web haves a list of all *dumped* carts with his update, take a look:
http://www.3dsdb.com/
Just arrange the games by firmware and done
You shou

IIRC it doesn't matter what the cart is as long as the system running it is greater than or equal to the cart update. So remember the update is going to be taken from the target system and not the cart so make sure whoever is hosting the DLP is on system nand 4.5.
