Homebrew Having trouble downgrading my 10.4 NATIVE_FIRM o3ds.

[nyaadono]

So I used fieldrunners to downgrade my 3ds, and I'm stuck on the part where you must downgrade to 9.2. I've tried multiple fixes, different versions of sysUpgrader/Downgrader, ran ftpBrony, all that. I've also tried well over 100 times to no avail. I tried doing as much research as I could posting here, because I don't want to be a hassle to anyone. May I have help?

Try to reflash the Native Firm again, it could be caused of that :3

I've done it twice now. I can try again though.

Try Plaisysdowngrader too, that always works for me :3

plaisysupdater also has the same effect, no am:u handle. i've switched between that, and a few other builds of sysupgrader/downgrader

Okay, I've downgraded again. Hope this works.

No luck, any other ideas?

ok, you must not be getting a downgrade, are you starting from 11.0 or 11.1?

11.0, didn't update when 11.1 came out.

Double check what dgTool version you have, you want the v1.0 build for 11.0, and double check you have the right firm files while you're at it as well... links are on here ... https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/DSiWare-Downgrade

After you're sure the files are right, redo the firm backup, then do the downgrade to 10.4 again and hopefully it will work... Does the system say anything while it's doing either of these things? if so, what?

well, i guess i was using some archaic strange version of dgtool. that addressed it as "dsi downgrade" or something of the sort, let me see if this works now.

It worked perfectly! Thank you so much. I was using a wrong version of
dgTool. Downgrade is starting. <3

Awesome, glad you got it working! Good luck!

before you downgrade also make sure to format. it improves the chances of it being successful

This is good advice, also, make sure you're following the current version of the guide /exactly/ step by step, don't jump around or skip anything or you might end up bricked.
If you have any problems or questions, stop where you are and ask the forum, and please try to inform us which chapter/section/number you're on as well when it happens.
