wait... or do a hard-mod and you will have no fear of bricking
a 3DS XL it's ultra-easy to hard-mod
any questions you have about hard-mod a console, just ask me
 
To be honest there aren't too many bricks so far, check for yourself

p.s.: there's always that one guy "1/4/2016 18:20:49 ! niggerkiller69 ! New piss on my face cunt | Ninjhax | KTM | fuck you | Successful | Used CIAs from KTM .TPP package| im gay fuck shit ass"
No, there are more bricks than what is listed there, take a look at that "Brick Thread" and there are many people that did follow the instructions but it still resulted in a brick.

From what I read, KTM is supposed to be safer than the actual downgrade.
Also, it is specific to n3DS so we should not have any issue...

If you can wait a bit and you've got a <10.1 n3DS, just wait for it.

EDIT: Seems that you're 3DS is an old one, right? (I think the Pikachu is an old one but I may be wrong. If it is the case, you should just downgrade because I think that KTM uses SNSHax that is working on n3DS only)

Not anymore check his profile. I asked him about it and he'll use memchunckhax2 too
 
Well julian20 released a new sysupdater that goes into safe firm first then normal firm. If something goes wrong it just crashes and you can try again.
I think it's a brick safe but don't quote me on that one! Thing is, people report an error
"titleException:
main.cpp:150: Result: 0xD900182F
Failed to get CIA file info !"
I got the same one. Kind of stuck here. Also I can't think of any safer way that julian20 implemented.
 
So, I'm seeing all these success posts of people downgrading but I'm still nervous about doing the downgrade. I could mess something up and I have a limited edition Pikachu 3DS XL and I don't want to brick it so is it safer to wait for JustPingo's app to be released?
Yes, definitely.
 
Yeah so this guy https://gbatemp.net/threads/wip-lis...-downgrade-to-9-2.407920/page-15#post-5923135 is either using a incomplete version or lying... What a nice idea to use somthing not even a alpha release
"using KTM" "sysUpdater installed"

Bricksafe because it doesn't really gets kernel access lol, he is working on it

I don't understand why people are even trying to downgrade now. It's better to wait for a safer alternative. Piracy, emuNAAD, CFW, etc isn't going anywhere. :)


I think for users on 9.3+ it's kinda a must right now, as N may drop 10.4 that might patch shit out again, so people on higher firmwares that want CFW or Gateway access now may want to downgrade asap.
 
follow everything perfectly still end up with a brick somehow.
i find it hard to believe . . . personally i skimmed the instructions and everything went as smooth as possible . . . yolo! . . . so i cant see how someone can actually pay attention and still brick

of course i may have just been lucky so my advice is wait for what is/should be safe(ish) solution (if it somehow never comes to be only then consider the current downgrade method)
