Ho crap ? It's the first soft brick report i think. Was there an error on screen or what ?just soft bricked there but was able to restore using safemode....i knew there was trouble when it installed the last file in about 14th position....i think its nver????
EDIT.... Was using Browserhax on N3DS 9.6.....when i held down power button to switch off after 5 mins or so the CONTACT NINTENDO screen flashed up.i was watching the files install and in about 14th slot or thereabouts it installed NVER. Now NVER is supposed to be the last file to install. it then installed more files, says its gonna reboot in 10sec then just froze?....i checked all files pressing A it reported back all GOOD in green....pressed Y it checked everything again then done as i say.....its an N3DS it was on 9.6E now on 10.3E
It's said in first post to update to 10.3 before downgrading. I guess it was your problem ... (even if i didn't understand all what you said , also your explanation is vague)i was watching the files install and in about 14th slot or thereabouts it installed NVER. Now NVER is supposed to be the last file to install. it then installed more files, says its gonna reboot in 10sec then just froze?....i checked all files pressing A it reported back all GOOD in green....pressed Y it checked everything again then done as i say.....its an N3DS it was on 9.6E now on 10.3E

Yes, EUR O3DSIt's an old 3DS?, here (https://3dbrew.org/wiki/Internet_Browser) shows 1.7567 as fw 7.1.0-16 , the next is 1.7585 and appears on 9.5.0-23

i was using Browserhax, and yes i removed sd card. when i clicked on the spanner (system settings) the loading 3ds screen was stuck in a loop and i could not enter system settings. So yes softbrick for definate.....but hey!!!! alls good...In my case, NVER has been updated midway just like you, but the downgrade went ok nonetheless.
Are you sure it was softbricked ? Did you try to remove your SD card after the downgrade ? Mine was showing a black screen because of menuhax installed. After removing the SD Card it boot correctly.
EDIT.....I am POSITIVE I have seen NVER was held back to be installed as the last file. Thats why I posted what had happened...Maybe the op is not aware that NVER is installing other than WHEN it should....No big deal....Im happy....thanks to the dev for all his good work. i am most appreciative.....honestlyi was using Browserhax, and yes i removed sd card. when i clicked on the spanner (system settings) the loading 3ds screen was stuck in a loop and i could not enter system settings.

i think the icon shows as a question mark (?) if no smdh file is placed in sysUpdater folder.
