After about 5 hour or so of research I've figured out that I can't do piss without a flashcart or an entry point.

Browserhax is patched ( on o3ds ), so that leaves that out.

So basically my only options I have found are, CubicNinja,smashbros, or OoT?

Is all the above correct or did I miss something? I'll go get OoT considering Best Buy has it for 35$ compared to the rip off fleabay cubic ninja sellers.
 
@Ronhero I can't get it to boot via browserhax. Everything I've read says it's patched, which makes no since at all considering it's not updated. I get a yellow screen, than it sits at a gray screen and I have to power down to get out of it. Using the latest starter pack from smealum.

In order to downgrade don't I need an entry point or flashcart?

You're trying to get *hax working with < 9.0 which won't work without cubic ninja.
Install rxtools or cakes with their appropriate browser exploit.

@zoogie I've already tried this method as well. When I put the link in I get a communication error. Tried several times. No luck, internet works fine.
That's normal actually.

Go to your browser settings and delete cookies and history and try again.
Make sure to wait a few seconds after the communication error.

you didn't research hard enough, but i suggest looking up rxtools.
 
@kennyhi123 already been there. Trust me I did plenty of research.

However, I found out the issue I was running into with Gateway, all the taking the www. out of go.blahblah-3ds.com solved the issue. I'm making a NAND back up now.

Thanks to the ones that helped and had suggestions.

awesome and good luck.
 
I forgot about this!

You can always downgrade to 4.x and use mset to sys updater
Remember GWDG 4.X makes FBI injection fail (see this for the reason).
If TC performed a downgrade, he should take a bricking risk on decrypting and modifying SysNAND for manually injecting FBI.

Update:
3DS FBI CIA Manager NAND Inject Generator's link is down now.
That means manually injecting FBI is currently inconvenient.
So TC should keep 8.1.0-19U undowngrade and use another method to boot CFW.

I got GW to finally work, sysNand is still on 8.1, emunand is on 10.3 now via rxtools.

8.1 > 4.x > mset > sys updater?

No injection needed....
 
OK you're right.
TC can use GW to directly install Sysupdater to SysNAND to bypass FBI injection.


So your saying I need to use GW to install Sysupdater to SysNAND instead of using FBI in devmode to install sysupdater and update?

Why do I need to DG to 4.x first?

1. Use GW to install Sysupdater to SysNAND.
2. SWITCH to rxTools Devmode to upgrade 9.2.0-20 by using Sysupdater.

You don't need to DG to 4.X by using this method because actually the DG does nothing but increasing a boot method.

I don't see anywhere in GW, where I can install sysupdater. I have the CIA on root of SD, just don't see any option or do I have to downgrade to 4.x first?
