Homebrew [WIP] SafeSysUpdater

[N64]

Thanks a lot for the advice, although I'd rather use it as a last resort. My problem with it is that I'm not even sure Cubic Ninja or OoT would work at all, I bought the console just for the occasion, so I don't have any games to test if at least those are still running.

I also heard some games come with an update to 10.1, and prompt you to update before getting to the splash screen (where everything seems to get stuck). Do you think that would be another option?

cubic ninja would work 100%
ocarina of time... only if you have the correct save file for your version (you're partially 9.2, so you'll need to try that and if it doesn't work then the one that applies to your original firmware)

i don't have experience updating the console from a gamepak so I'll let someone else chime in on that, on the surface it seems like a viable option

I'm not sure they would work because I'm not sure they would even start. I've seen conflicting reports on the matter from people in my same situation: some had their games working, some didn't, depending on where the downgrade failed. From what I've seen both Ninjhax and OoTHax require you to actually get in-game, so if they also got stuck on the initial splash screen I wouldn't be able to do much.

Is it possible to downgrade from 9.2 (bad downgrade) to 4.5 using either SafeSysUpdater or SysUpdater?
System Information shows 9.2.0-20U but I believe this was a bad downgrade because all CFW I try to use either reboots the console or gives me black screen. Also the Gateway Downgrade feature does not allow me to downgrade.

So my thought was to either flash it back to 10.3 and then retry the downgrade or try to downgrade all way back to 4.5 using (Safe)SysUpdater.
is it possible? DO I have any other option?

Thx!

anyone downgraded a JP n3DS with this? i used the package from that iso site for the 9.2 (which is actually 9.1) and it keeps erroring out on 000400100020900.cia.

pretty sure i used the same package file to upgrade my n3DS from 8.1.0-0J to 9.1.0-20J, and i didn't get a brick.

I must've attempted this at least 70+ times by now, I'm still getting the am:u service message.
If I do the check in safesysupdater, and everything passes, should everything go right, eventually?

I tried This in 10.0 soft Brick so i had to update my 3ds to 10.4 I installed browserhax and homemenuhax and i went to safesysupdater and i hit Y to check the files and it said all good should i try to downgrade in 10.4

you cant downgrade in 10.4. the exploit will never succeed, since it was patched

 

[emmaxd97]

i see... but in the future is there gonna be a downgrade for 10.4 ?

No one knows

 

[tvall]

maybe. maybe not. a new vulerability would have to be found and exploited.

 

[emmaxd97]

so i have another question why was i unable to downgrade my O3ds on 10.0.0.27U ?

Didn't try enough times.

I just hope that one day that this'll work for 10.5 users someday

I hope so too, I updated to 10.5 like an idiot to relink my NNID

Hi,

This is interesting and strange. Maybe they do update the package on that iso site ? I'll take a look as sson as possible.

 

[Petoboy]

Worked flawlessly on my European N3DSXL.
Merci cpasjuste
Edit : from 10.3.0-28E to 9.2.0-20E using ninjhax as entrypoint

 

[TheReturningVoid]

Just downgraded a N3DS XL from 10.3.0-27E to 9.2.0-20E first try with no problems at all.

EDIT: Ha, just realised me and poster above just did the same downgrade process
