Tutorial Simple Guide to Downgrading your 3DS

[genericmelancholy]

That usually only happens on a N3DS, not an O3DS. Make sure you are using the correct .cias and the correct region.

It happens on my O3DS too. I can guarantee I have the right files.

I have downloaded 2 or 3 times and the error was (in the first pack of CIAs itself that gave me an error when extracted, but others do not. Then try again to make the downgrade (I formatted the SD card case ), but It seems very strange.

Moreover, as I have understood if I had installed the other region would have a good brick beyond repair.

What entry point are you using?

Yes, that's what I meant.
If formatting the SD card doesn't work, try formatting the 3DS.

Yes ... what I have said several times, but being the only 3DS that I have do not want to format. If a second console úsase just because I would not care. I'll stay without CFW...

Thanks anyway for answer.

Yes, a few people have.

The 2DS is stupid anyway. 3DS MASTER RACE

I tried verifying the checksum of my .zip file using the online MD5 website, the first one was correct, but and SHA1 string didn't have the ? mark at the end. Should I find another .zip file?

Nope, that's normal.

Probably. It's not as small as the 3DS, which is quite small.

So is there any possibility of fixing a brick after this? Error after most of the way through downgrading. Black screen, no recovery/safe mode.

If it's a soft brick, yes.

Definitely a different experience from doing 2x 2DS's and then a N3DSXL. Sometimes sysupdater just black or get error. I think this is my 20th attempt and its replacing CIA's finally.

Just tried to downgrade on New 3DS LL japan on 10.3 and got title exception: main.cpp:100: result 0xc9e08001 failed to get cia file info. Any ideas whats going on ?

If it's a soft brick, yes.

Isn't a soft brick when you can still get into the recovery mode? As I said, no recovery mode. I can make the power light come on, that is all.

After 400+ tries on my O3DS I have come to the conclusion that everyone in here is playing a joke on me. :l Then I tried it on my friends 2DS and it worked first try.


Wtf?

 

[phalk]

Worked flawlessly for me on the first try.

Info:

System: Old 3DS XL
Version: 10.1
Entry Point used: Menuhax

I used the sysUpdater app, it sent me back to the home menu. But I checked System Settings, and it's still at 10.3. Wait, how many CIA files are there supposed to be? I only found three.
