Homebrew Ways to highten svchax success rate?

[Khangaroo]

Trying to unfrankinfirmware my new 3ds xl. Any ways to make svchax more reliable? Exiting FTBrony wont even let PlaiSysUpdater start.

Did exiting ftp work before? What firmware was your 3ds on before downgrade? If it was 10.3 you could set up menuhax and boot sysupdater from that until it boots?

Actually, on downgrade attempt 1 on 10.3, hax worked first time! There was no need for ftp.

You should run the checker in my sig to see what you're missing with the botched downgrade.

So, did you downgrade or update with sysUpdater when you were still on 10.3?

Downgrade to 9.2. I was using PlaiSysUpdater, btw.

Do you already have menuhax installed? I would atleast try that. That way you could just boot sysupdater immidietly

Well, to my understanding, svchax is for 10.4 through 10.7, so I wouldn't bother with it. You can try out:
Here on the 'temp: https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-r...mware-w-o-upgrading-to-10-3-or-higher.413368/
On reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/comments/42obiw/psa_if_youre_on_frankenfirmware_from_sysupdater/? (Disregard the whole "< 9.9", you can downgrade from 10.7 so it really doesn't matter if you update to that point).

Dont take my word for it but im 99% sure i read that plaisysupdater was less stable than the regular one and causes more bricks and stuff like that. then again i could be completly wrong but just thought i would post. sorry if im incorrect

Holy Christ don't, and I mean don't use PlaiSysUpdater! PLEASE! Use the latest official build. Although, that may not work because of your frankenfirmware situation, in which case, you should grab one version back.

Plaisysupter bricked my friend's o3ds. I've downgraded at least 10 3ds systems on different firmwares and models and this is the first time it happened. Luckily I was able to get a nand backup before it bricked.

This is exactly what i had read about when doing my n3ds. a lot of people seem to use it though becaause his guide is good. apart from it tells you to use his version of sysupdater.

This sysupdater can't even function on >=9.2 vanilla firmware.

I don't know what's wrong with PlaiSysUpdater, AFAIK is an enhanced fork of SafeSysUpdater, which is pretty decent but lacks of update support (on Github).

My problem is I've tried to use this build several times, and I've bricked every time. I don't think it's user error. Thank the Lord I have proper brick protection....

Semibrick or true brick? What version did you start the downgrade on and which version were you trying to downgrade to?

 

[Khangaroo]

So am I supposed to redowngrade using sysUpdater 0.4.1?

No brick. Just frankenfirmware.

Frankenfirmware tells us nothing. Run the app in my sig so we know how to help you. Post results. (.txt file)

Here are the results!

The only important thing that didn't install was
0004013820000002 17120 22313 New3DS NATIVE_FIRM

But that one title is your firmware and it didn't downgrade.
I guess, try to run the 3dsx version of sysupdater and downgrade again. Not sure it will even boot.
Use 9.2 *hax.
