Tutorial Simple Guide to Downgrading your 3DS

[trsoares]

No problem.

Are you going to downgrade?

Yes, just need a little more courage before.

Yes, just need a little more courage before.

Courage for what? Are you afraid it's going to brick? As long as you follow the steps correctly (pretty easy) it's practically impossible to get a brick on an O3DS. No one has so far anyway. If you do get a brick, it will be a "soft brick" which can be fixed easily.

Dunno why but my 2ds doesn't want to execute browserhax, is there something special I have to do? On my N3ds executes right away after entering the theme menu and all that. I just don't get what am I doing wrong. It gets the qr code the lower screen changes color two times and then it fails and send me to home menu. Thanks in advance for the help. It's a 2ds on the latest fw btw (10.3-28E).
PD: For downgrading purposes I should be using the 9.2.0E cias for the O3ds right?

Using an Old 3ds 10.3-28E. I've just had my 3rd softbrick, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've tried both menuhax and Oothax. I don't want to format the system, at least not until I have to to install emunand. It's getting annoying having my homescreen jumbled up and getting notifications about Play Coins or Sleep mode or whatever.

A 2DS is a 3DS without 3D.
A New 3DS is a new console with more buttons and is more powerful.

Take a guess, O3DS or N3DS?

Spoiler

O3DS

Yeah that's what I thought of course, but one can never be too sure of anything, better ask someone more realiable on the matter. Ty for the reply

Can you explain the steps you have taken prior to and when downgrading? Maybe then I can figure out what's wrong.

Sometimes it's a bit random, usually doing a shutdown and then powering on the console again works, try again if still. Also I have heard that spamming the zoom button maked it run more times but seems the same for me

EDIT: Yes, 2DS is an old3DS

Well, I had previously installed a Mario Kart 7 legit cia using the leaked FBI...What information are you looking for?

 

[Av448]

right, 3DS default SD card with 2048kb cluster size crashs often when oppening sysUpdater, this DIDN'T happen with my previous SD card

i'm too afraid to downgrade with this

The card default as I think cluster size varies depending on card size.

just wait a while then. You don't wanna mess it up.

 

[Linkoh]

Seems like I'm not able to downgrade again, been trying for almost two hours at this point and all I've got were "Failed to get CIA file info" errors.

Have you followed the steps in the tutorial correctly?

Have you followed the steps in the tutorial correctly?

Yep, except for the first time where I accidentally forgot to turn Tubehax DNS off.

My friend is using a o3ds XL with firmware 10.3. I followed the tutorial exactly but my friend said nothing happens after pressing Y for downgrading. He tried it more than 10 times. He got installed browserhax because he don't own CN or OOT.

Can someone help why its not working?
