Tutorial Simple Guide to Downgrading your 3DS

[Av448]

Yes, I'm Sure. I think that the problem was that when the message "Getting CIA file informations..." appeared on the screen. I left the console alone for 5-6 minutes thinking that the process will be done when I come back and when I see the console 'Frozen' in that screen I think that was a problem of the entrypoint but really it was installing the cias and when I turned off the console I bricked it. I'm not sure but it's the only theory that I have.

if not wrong, the old version ( the one you used ) erases ALL the cia on the 3DS before installing those on the SD

but i remember i read that there was a new version that only erased a CIA before installing the new one, and so on with every CIA

does the build with SAFEMODE being installed first do that?

Hello, how do I determine my CIA bundle is correct? The zip I have is named "9.2.0-20E(Full)_n3DS" and is 141mb compressed. Is this correct? Thank you

Compare md5 values. I used one that was named pretty much exactly like yours except mine has a U where yours has an E.

Didn't work.

an error occurred while loading the payload. Make sure your launcher is located at: /rxTools/sys/code.bin

Apparently I do not have a /sys/ folder.

Let me link a tutorial...

Using FTBrony got me to red text within 5 tries on N3DSXL.

I use the 9.2.0 CIA file so should I press the home button like the sysupdater tells me to? I feel like I should just hit Y to downgrade now...

No, I used the build without Safemode that was in the first page of this post, or at least that's what I think because I can't enter in safemode with A+L+R+UP Pressed

can someone answer? this is something important because it determines whether it's safe yet to use sysUpdater

What did you use to downgrade the new one?

They were correct expect for the ? at the end of the "SHA-1" checksum. Do you know if that matters? Thanks

compare the MD5 with the one listed in this thread - http://gbatemp.net/threads/md5-checksums-crc-for-all-9-2-update-packs.408114/

what build of sysupdater did you use?

 

[digiw0rx]

N3DS EU Successfully downgraded

N3DS EU Successfully downgraded

Did you reformated the N3DS?

 

[digiw0rx]

No i didn't. I just kept loading sysupdater until it ran, once it ran properly it downgraded first time.

what build of sysupdater did you use?

Used the sysupdater that supposedly had safe mode. I was on 10.3 on a O3DSXL

please answer, if it doesn't then there is still a decent chance it can permabrick even with the lastest build

 

[Nzash]

Alright it worked.

European N3DSXL from 10.3 to 9.2.0-20E
