Ds mode cards weren't blocked since 7.x

oh, so I guess it'll work. I have just now updated it since 4.2 (accidental update and no dsi) and wasn't sure. Thanks

Now PlaiSysUpdater gets stuck at "HAX INIT..."

Use a different sysupdater if it keeps failing and see if that makes a difference.

just to add to this don't use Safesysupdater
Edit : it has a much higher failure rate than the others and many reported bricks at that

Which alternative do you recommend? I'm downgrading from 9.8.

I'm sending this from my phone so I apologize if the link is awkward or doesn't work properly but this is the guide that I used to just two weeks ago on my 9.9 n3DSxl . . .https://gbatemp.net/threads/simple-guide-to-downgrading-your-3ds.407888/
And yes I soft bricked and had just started over but only once

That failed as well. Perhaps it's because I'm using browserhax? Would I have better luck with another entrypoint?

Menuhax.

Ok! So, I managed to get it to work. It only had one additional file to patch apparently. It said "downgrade success", So I'm guessing I'm good to go.

Just dumped my Secure_InfoA bin, what do now? :v

Just a quick question for anybody that might know. I can't seem to find my original, unmodded "hs.app" file. Is having the original "hs.app" file necessary for anything or do I not really need the original?

Nope unless you want the hs menu again.

I've been looking at getting A9LH on my N3DS XL but I have a few questions regarding it.
1. If I follow the main guide step by step is there a large chance of bricking? (I know there's always a chance I just want to know how big of one I'll face)
2. Is there any hope of Nintendo patching it out in 10.8? I've thought about waiting until it's released to see if it does.
3. Is a redNAND required? I've already got an emuNAND set up with reiNAND so I don't feel like having to redo another NAND thingy.
4. What are the main precautions I should take before touching the guide?
5. Is setting up A9LH on a N3DS different from setting it up on a O3DS? (I tried with my 2DS but that things had so much done to it that I didn't even bother)

1. If you follow it step by step and check every single troubleshoot whenever(if) you get stuck, the chances of bricking are almost null
2. A9LH has one of the lowest chances of getting patched as it runs from a very early boot stage.
3. You can just replace every "RedNAND" in the guide with your "ReiNAND". I did the same with AuReiNAND.
4. Most, if not all precautions are already set up in the guide. Every backup and restore will be there if you follow the guide step by step.
5. I'm not sure as I don't have a N3DS but I guess it's the same (except some parts mentioned in the guide)

I've done it on a n3ds and an o3ds and the only real difference is for the n3ds you have to do the unbrick step on the 2.1 dump before you flash it.

Would you recommend switching to AuReiNAND before following the guide?

 

[pbanj]

Would you recommend switching to AuReiNAND before following the guide?

The cfw you use doesn't really matter for the guide. I did it with cakes on mine.

 

[FTRBND]

Would you recommend switching to AuReiNAND before following the guide?

I recommend switching to AuRei DURING the guide. There are steps to install AuRei in it.

Now I'm having issues with another section of this tutorial. On this page, step 34. "Reboot back into RedNAND". I formatted RedNAND, rebooted, entered the homebrew launcher with menuhax. When I go to launch Cakes to boot RedNAND, I get a flash of a red screen and then only a black screen.

Try again, sometimes it fails to boot.

I don't miss that lol
