Tutorial Simple Guide to Downgrading your 3DS

[dkabot]

Took me a good chunk of time to get entry points set back up for 10.3, and a bit more to get sysupdater to actually run, but it got through the initial reboot just fine.

Though my 8GB card isn't enough to go anywhere else, so for now I'll just leave it there. This O3DS isn't the important one anyway, and my N3DS is already a 9.5 EmuNAND.

I don't even have a themehax to delete.

Maybe you should try sysUpdater through ThemeHax then.

Is there a way to remove those parts?

Do what Im doing and save your SD card's contents then format it. Then copy what you need to back and try it. Worth a shot.

Yeah, you can use a Save Data Manager to export them, and then delete the CIA with FBI. The use a new SD Card with only the sysUpdater under the 3ds folder.
