Homebrew Any way to launch Homebrew without OoT3D/Cubic Ninja?

[smb3master]

So I recently did a failed 9.2 downgrade, and had to update back to 10.3, but now I'm kinda stuck, as BrowserHax doesn't(?) work now.
So although I probably know the answer, is there any alternative to buying OoT3D or Cubic Ninja?

I'm using a n3DS by the way.

What do you mean by failed downgrade? Does it still boot to home menu?

Browserhax works fine.

 

[smb3master]

But it gives me the update warning when I launch the web browser, and I thought the bypass was patched?

Yeah, I meant that the System Menu said 9.2.0-20U, but the console itself acted like it wasn't downgraded (such as FBI and CFW's not working properly)

Patched if you update your system to 11.0.

 

[smb3master]

But that will mean no downgrading without another 3DS, right?

DO NOT UPDATE!

Set your time and date to 1/1/2000

Just open the browser and click on "settings", scroll down to "clear save data"and click it.

You'll return to home menu.

Activate your camera and launch the QR code for the browserhax, it'll open the browser and ask you to set things anew, after it'll launch the homebrew,

Instructions

1. Copy the contents of the starter folder in starter.zip to the root of your SD card, then put the SD card back into your 3DS
2. Open the theme menu, change your theme to any other theme, then switch back. This will initialize the theme data and is required
3. Launch the Settings application
4. Change the date to January 1, 2000
5. Change the time to 00:00
6. Launch the browser, then open the browser settings as fast as possible
7. Scroll to the bottom and Initialize Savedata (it also may be called Clear All Save Data) as fast as possible
8. Navigate to http://yls8.mtheall.com/3dsbrowserhax_auto.php or scan the QR code on your 3DS (if you get a slider, zoom all the way in on it, then tap the very right edge of it; this can take quite a few tries)
   
   
   • If you get an error, follow this troubleshooting guide
9. Your console should load the homebrew menu
10. Open the menuhax_manager application
11. Press A to install, it may show some errors but that's fine as long as it shows "Success" towards the end

Homebrew access is available for all verions right now, but 11.0 has no downgrading available.

He wasn't suggesting you update, merely telling you the bypass was only patched if you updated to the current system firm.

Do I need to use a freshly formatted SD card?
I tried using my existing one and it still gives me the update error after doing this.

 

[cravas]

I found that it's better to start the Guide (and any other I might follow) with the console stocked (system settings formatted and clean formatted SD Card)

Less errors.

 

[smb3master]

I just formatted my 3DS and SD card, and still get the same error after setting the date. :\
I guess I'm probably better off purchasing OoT at this point.

You'll also need a Powersaves device if you don't have one already.
