okay yeah they're there but what DO I DO WITH THEM. the games data is in the emuNAND folder. Then what.
and to inject emunand you use emunand tool, then copy the corasponding folder from sd/nintendo 3ds folder
the folder belongs to the emunand backup you (should have) created earlier when you reinject emunand that folder needs to be present on the sd card (no folder no getting your games back)
Hey wormdood, I did it, I downgraded my 3ds! :D
Now I got a quick question tho: What is the latest firmware supported by Gateway for emunand?
n3ds 9.5
o3ds 10.3

So, I have THE NAND.bin file dumped from sysNAND according to this guide. After I've done a few things, everything is kinda messed up right now, and I would like to start over from the beginning. Seeing how I've had my emuNAND and sysNAND unlinked from one another prior to this, how can I inject this NAND.bin into my sysNAND? Currently, the only thing I can do in emuNAND9 is to inject the NAND.bin into emuNAND, but NOT sysNAND itself. I'm also unable to access all my old digital games and save files on it, as well, so if anyone could help me I'd appreciate it.

oh, dont worry. I've been asking this for days but no one seems to be able to grasp the concept of "...not having CFW...? But then how will you run pirated games." and then decide "Better tell you how to install emuNAND again"

Is there any reason to have apps on both the SD card to launch through HBC & also installed as cia's? After following a couple guides to get downgraded, emunand, rxTools, etc. all set up.... I am left with duplicates of a few things. Namely FBI, sysupdater, and a couple more I can't remember off hand. Can I just delete one or the other? And why do tutorials have you install things as a cia if they are already in the starter pack and can be run from the HBC?

Just tried clearing Cubic Ninja Save Data -- figured I needed to redo Ninjhax since the firmware changed to 9.2 -- but the QR code just errored out and booted back to Home.

So, no BrowserHax or Ninjhax... What now? Gateway? I need to get to HBL somehow.

slow down dude just because you are a noob and there is obviously a language problem does not mean no one gets help if you want to uninstall cfw simply format your card using any program that lets you manage partitions and leave people alone

elaborate please
Before the whole thing messed up, I've gotten to the point where my emuNAND and sysNAND were unlinked. sysNAND then created a new encrypted "profile" (the random number folder thing) in my /Nintendo 3DS, while emuNAND was carrying my old "profile," which had all my digital games and NNID associated with it. Now, I have to start over and have already formatted the emuNAND via the Complete emuNAND Setup option in emuNAND9, and thus it wipes out the whole SD (I still have backups of my SD card prior to this format, including the old "profile" folder as well).

Edit: So my question is, how can I make my N3DS recognizes this old "profile" again? Also, how can I hop back into sysNAND now that my rxTools is gone (can't hold L to bypass to sysNAND now)?

"a language problem" is not what i'd call having asked the same question for multiple days with no one even replying.

so if i reformat my SD card, what do I do then? Put the stuff back on it? Then how would I restore my NAND, since the console ID on the 3DS would differ from the SD backup, preventing me from actually accessing anything under the /Nintendo 3DS folder.

I think I did get an incomplete downgrade. Now what do I do about it? Browserhax and Ninjhax don't work anymore.

Should I update to 10.3 then downgrade to 9.2 again? Or should I try using Gateway to run something to fix this?
yup. . . up then down . . . lol

if you have no rxtools folder on your sd card then you are in sysnand not emunand
copy all files you backed up on to the sd card then try to boot emunand and. . . then if the games are still not visible use Emunand Tool to reinject your emunand backup

Nope, I don't have the rxtools folder on the sd card.

When I click on my NAND.bin, it just keep saying invalid NAND size. How come? Both my NAND.bin and emuNAND.bin that I backed up prior to setting up new emuNAND on my SD card have the same size.

like i was saying without that folder you are on sysnand and as you said everything now exist on on emunand that is why you cant access your games because you cant access your emunand . . . set up rxtools

also google emunand tool 1.0.1 that version has compatibility with your nand chips size

Ahhhh okay, I gotcha now.

Can I do the normal system update to get it back to 10.3 then try to downgrade back to 9.2 again? If I do that, would it affect my ability to access my old games and its saves?

I did the injection method for my DevMenu and (stupidly) forgot to keep the original hs.app copy.
