I'm done wasting my time trying.

I'll try again when something better comes up.

Wait for KTM. It'll be much, much safer.

IT WORKED!

I think a good next step to take would be to see if there's anything that significantly increases the chance of success, like formatting the system prior to downgrading.

On another note, which guide should I follow to set up an emunand and CFW on my n3DS?

I keep getting titleExeption:
main.cpp:100: Result: 0xD8E08067
failed to get CIA file info!

does anyone know what to do?

I had this problem, and I was trying to send those files to the SD card via OSX/Mac.

Turns out that the sysUpdate has a lazy method of looking for CIA files, one which essentially takes everything in the entire /updates directory. When you have OSX, and you look at files in your finder, it adds a bunch of hidden files that are pre-pended with _ characters... to rid yourself of these files within the SD card, type the following command:

find ./ -name '._*' -exec rm -v {} \;

Hope this helps!

Actually, I see people, specifically American users, having a lot more luck with the N3DSXL models than the non-XL ones. Although, you probably should wait anyway.

You only need to delete that file if you're downgrading a JN3DS.

Well doin a simple test based on curiousity with menuhax stuck at #5, im out boys. Is it safe to upgrade from 9.8 to 10.3 for consistency purpose or should i stay on 9.8?

N3ds XL 10.1u []===> 9.2 success, work with menuhax lol, if you have a black screen after reboot , remove the menuhax after downgrading since now there different versions

you're not using menuhax 2.1 are you? I'm in the same model and fw as you and about to downgrade, and I haven't updated my menuhax since the latest menuhax version

By 2.1 you mean 10.2+ support, then no

N3DS XL 10.3E down to 9.2E Success!

Now to try get some CFW going.

Never want to do that again, my heart could barely take watching it slowly downgrade.

Also succeeded getting a N3DSXL downgraded. Bought it today at 9.9U, upgraded to 10.3 to get browserhax, and then completed the downgrade in only a few minutes using menuhax as the entrypoint, so now I'm on 9.2!

Froze a few times at #5 but just hard reset every time and it was fine.

 

[Baccabechoppin]

The furthest I've gotten is step 8, gotta keep trying I guess, dear god this could take a while.
Mainly freezes at step 7 and rarely freezes at step 5

 

[Blackzeta]

Worked. At first it would only advance to step 5 or 7, but after opening FTB, it worked flawlessly.

New 3DS XL 10.3-28U downgraded successfully. EDIT: Using MenuHax. All my eShop games including ambassador games are still there.

 

[bbcali89]

why cant i run gateway now? i have launcher in my root n go to website but nothing?

 

[Baccabechoppin]

Considering updating from 9.9 to 10.3 as that's where most people seem to be downgrading from, the only hax I have access to though are menuhax and OoT3dhax, would I lose any of these when I update?

you will lose menuhax

 

[Baccabechoppin]

I can just install shufflehax then right?

 

[gazzoose]

N3DS EU reporting in, Successfully went from 10.3.0-28E to 9.2.0-20E. Haven't tried anything further, but Browserhax worked so I'm working my way towards a more fully featured installation. I'll edit this post as I progress. I got lucky and SysUpdater loaded on my 3rd try.

I'd really like to figure out how to make this work with my SD (it doesn't know where to look). I don't know the command line yet :-/
Is there an easier way to view hidden files so I can just delete that shit?
