Reboot into recovery, update, and try again

It's fake, it has nothing to do with this exploit

I know haha. But, still. Makes me nervous.

When I did a format, I checked the card to see if everything was erased. Homebrew launcher and everything including the updates folder was present. So all I had to do was reinstall themehax and everything worked from there. I don't know about actual saves, those will probably be lost, along with your linked ID, so you would need to relink it. I hope this answers your question.

Why exactly did you have to format? I haven't seen anyone else here who needed to do that.

Wait, so a format is required to downgrade 10.1? Then what's the point if I have to lose my stuff? And why only 10.1?

I don't know why, but that's how it works. You might want to ask the people that made it. I just know that I tried several times to downgrade without the format and it just would not work. As soon as I formatted, it worked the first time.

Probably themehax. Eject your SD card and try it.

There's a number of people on this topic that formatted to downgrade.

any successfull new 3ds xl downgrade with latest sysupdater ?

 

[JacerX]

Also, I want to point out that this could only be a n3ds thing. You might not need to format to downgrade an o3ds.

Update back to 10.3, format your console, and downgrade, it should work
Or it's related to themehax
