Tutorial NOOB friendly guide to Downgrading your 3DS (From FW <10.7!!)

[Zyrmkel]

Just to make sure, I do not have to update to 10.7 first and then downgrade again? I can just run sysupdater from 9.2?

Yes

 

[Sirence]

Yes

I'm still trying to launch sysupdater :/ This is really weird.
Would using safesystemupdater be safe as well? The owner of the guide seems to be against it.

I'm for it, I have used it in all my downgrades, had my friends use it and use it for all current testing and have never had an issue, if you have a way to run from 10.7 I'd set that up now however just as "insurance"

Hm, I think I'll go for it. Tried to launch sysupdater for the past half hour and never got it to display.
I do not have any way to run from 10.7 so I'll just have to push my luck...

You can try this build if ssu fails continuously. It has a better success rate imo

I used the other safesystem updater, but it worked just fine! Even though I am apparently missing 0004013000001A02 and 0004013000001B02, but they are not even in my update zip so I assume it's fine? Everything seems to work fine now. You are amazing, thank you very much!

A side question, maybe you can answer, what is the safest way to unlink my sysnand and emunand at this point? Both are at 9.2 right now, and completely stock except sysnand has menuhax.

Keep trying, it took about the 4th or 5th restart for sysupdater to boot properly. If you have Cubic Ninja then yeah, a much better option.

I have looked all over and not found an answer to this question...
My N3DS-XL is on 10.3.0-28E but this guide requires 10.4-10.6
How can I easily upgrade to any of these firmwares?

Help is much appreciated

Just downgrade from there

Just downgrade from there

Thanks. So I can follow the guide as if I was on 10.4?
If this is the case why is it only advertised for 10.4 - 10.6 if it works on 10.3? Does it work on 10.2 and lower?
Usually these guides provide precise information so people do not run into any problems so I am slightly worried.
Has anyone confirmed using this guide to downgrade 10.3 and lower firmwares?
