I'm having some issues with CFW. On my O3DS, CFW is fine, but with my N3DS, I can't boot any of them. I thought they fixed this issue?

Homemenuhax is where I got your issue, I get the error "Can't create allocating thread." with OoTHax

Where'd you get your 9.2 CIAs? "That site" or 3DNus? I got mine from "That site" for KTM and have failed twice.

Ya that site, but i grabbed them from the large thread, not extracted from KTM.

Sheesh, I tried to use this program like 9 times so far. It either gets stuck at step 8, or the text is messed up, not allowing me to do anything.

Can someone PM me the link to download the N3DS 9.2.0-20U files?

 

[ImInsane]

Someone can send me this CIA packages ?

For some of the newer people who are having trouble: This release is basically shit in terms of stability or reliability. I've tried well over 50 times, from browserhax to IronFall to Menuhax. I've been stuck on 5, 7 and 8 in a mad cycle. I've been stuck with distorted red text. I've been stuck with red text, press y text. I've recently been stuck with "Failed to get CIA file info!".

For me, it's pretty hopeless, but @ least it hasn't bricked. So if it's just not working for you, YOU'RE NOT ALONE lol

Literally been trying for hours to get SysUpdater to work correctly. Farthest I've gotten is to step 7 before it freezes. This thing feels like it was just thrown together.

I NEED HELP PLS IM SCARED

I own (starting to think i used to own...) a N3DS 10.3.0-28U, since everyone was reporting their N3DS 10.3 working i decided to join them as well...
It was everything ok, i pressed Y for Downgrading and the process finished successfully (aparently) and was going to reboot, after 5 minutes and still black screen, i decided to forced shut it down and restarting but only power led is on, and recovery mode doesnt boot, theres anything i could do? I guess i wont have any other 3DS besides of this, since it was imported, in my country was so expensive

I downloaded the USA

First, that link can get you banned.

Second, welcome to Bricktown. There's no escape.

You downloaded the wrong file, I'm pretty sure.

'Nother one bytes The N. xD

O3DSXL 10.3 U down to 9.2 U with a clean separate card
with just the starter, firmware, and downgrader using OoTH4x.
A cache clear wasn't even needed and I was greeted as if
I had just bought from the store. Kind of nice... Since
I bought this 3DS used on craigslist a year ago. xD

Spoiler

Big thanks to Smea and TuxSH, Jason Dellaluce, Steveice10 the guys that made this possible. What a way to end the weekend.

where did you get the "Failed to get CIA file info!" is it below the red text (i'm trying to visualise it, as i did not reach that far though)

for others who did not reach yet the red text.. try to run a game close and run HBL>sysupdater that made me go through the option, but im thinking it freeze me since nothing happens after i pres (Y)downgrade
