How are you launching the Sysdowngrader? Through Browserhax or did you installed Menuhax?

Browserhax site is down for a few days (and will be for the next couple of weeks) so try some mirrors (search gbatemp for "browserhax mirrors" )

OR try the no-browser version (with a CART entrypoint)

Browserhax. I can get into the Homebrew Channel and start Sysdowngrader from there.

Menuhax doesn't seem to install for me. It freezes at 'downloading config...'

As for OoT3DHax? It crashes with the "home menu ropbin is ready" message to home screen.

Ah, alright.
Yeah, I've shifted to January 1, 2000 and set my time to 0:00 with no avail.
I don't have access to FreakyForms or CubicNinja carts, unfortunately.

Someone did tell me they managed to downgrade via Menuhax since Browserhax gave the same errors for downgrading via SysDowngrader.
But I'm finding it difficult to install menuhax (it's the one from the starter pack Plailect has put up), since it keeps freezing on me.

I do have a thread open, if you'd like to go there to assist me. It'd be greatly appreciated, cravas. :)

Hi all, I've hit a slight snag installing FBI via injecting it into H&S and was wondering if anyone could help.

I've been following this guide here: https://plailect.github.io to install arm9loader and it's been going without a hitch so far, however I got to section V in the guide (injecting FBI) and although every injection would display as successful, it would still only launch the stock Health & Safety app and not FBI.

A friend suggested I follow the godmode troubleshooting which is featured here: https://plailect.github.io/Guide/troubleshooting. I did so, and now upon trying to inject FBI, it displays this error:

Searching title "Health&Safety"...
Method 1: Search in title.db... System version 4.x Found title 0004001000021300
TMD0 found at 15BD8000, size 2868b APP0 not found or fragmented!
Health&Safety Dump: failed!

Can anybody recommend any possible fix for this, or is my best bet to reinstall arm9loaderhax and do the restore again? Any help would be appreciated!

Did you update your System to latest FW? It seems you still have ver4 of the H&S app.

Hi. Yes the firmware update part was smooth sailing, is there any way to get the correct ver of the H&S app?
Can you try to update again to see if it installs correctly?

I have already tried a sysNAND backup restore and system update but to no avail unfortunately, I fear I may have to go as far back as reinstalling arm9holder and restarting the process from there?

There's no need to do that.
Let me edit the old guide process for you and will post in a few moments.

  1. Download The latest version of Universal Inject Generator to your PC. Download the latest FBI.cia from here: https://github.com/Steveice10/FBI/releases/
  2. Open Hourglass9 (keep pressing START while booting the console), then go to "SysNAND Backup/Restore", then select the "Health & Safety Dump" option to dump Health & Safety to hs.app (if not on SD root, it's inside "files9" folder)
  3. Press Select to eject your SD card, then put it in your computer
  4. Extract Universal Inject Generator, then copy both hs.app from your SD card and FBI.cia to the input folder (inside Universal Inject Generator)
  5. Double click go.bat (or execute go.sh with Terminal on Linux, or double click Mac_inject_launcher.app on Mac)
  6. Copy FBI_inject_with_banner.app to the root of your SD card (or "files9" folder if your "hs.app" was there) and reinsert your SD card into your 3DS
  7. Press B on Hourglass9, then go to "SysNAND Backup/Restore", and select the "Health & Safety Inject" option
  8. Press down once to select FBI_inject_with_banner.app, then press A and confirm to inject
  9. Go to the main menu (pressing B), then press Start to reboot
Thank you for your help!

Hi! It all went well up until the point where it asks to press down to select FBI_inject_with_banner.app, as it did not give me the option to do that. My app is in the files9 folder along with my hs.app file, would you recommend putting them in the root instead?

Are you using the latest Hourglass9?

Try to press UP or LEFT. It should recognize it inside files9 folder and appear on screen. Or copy it also to SD root (having it in both places).

I believe so yes, but I have updated it just to be sure!

So far I have tried the following:

- Having both files just in the files9 folder
- Having both files in the root of the SD card
- Having two sets of files, one set in the files9 folder, one set in the root.

So far, I have't had any luck getting the files to show up in the health & safety inject, I've tried pressing all the buttons and nothing seems to be working. Thank you for all the help you guys are offering though, I really appreciate it.

When you get to the Inject part in Hourglass9, didn't it warned you in RED that writing to SysNAND is dangerous, etc.. and you had to enter: <LEFT>, <UP>, <Right>, <Up>, <A>?

OR
Try to use Decrypt9 instead of Hourglass9.
Download the latest Decrypt9 from here: https://github.com/d0k3/Decrypt9WIP/releases/tag/20161021 and put the Decrypt9WIP.bin inside the "/luma/payloads"folder.
Rename Decrypt9WIP to x_D9.bin (if x_ isn't beeing used already).
Delete all copies of hs.app, hs.enc and FBI_Inject_with_banner.app from your SD and from PC (the ones used on Universal Inject Generator).

Boot the console while keeping X pressed. Decrypt9 will launch.
Follow all the steps I told you before but change Hourglass9 with Decrypt9WIP and SysNAND Options-->Miscellaneous... to find the "Health&Safety Dump and Inject".

Hi, unfortunately Decrypt9 is also not giving the option to select what .app I use to dump & inject, and I am getting the exact same errors that I was getting on Hourglass9.

It seems some people are having troubles with the FBI inject part, :/

Can you try this: do a 9.2 CTR Transfer (do this page: https://plailect.github.io/Guide/9.2.0-ctrtransfer but skip Section II) (remember to get the right files for you: type of console and region).
In the end, DO NOT UPDATE.
Do the Section V - Injecting FBI from the Installing arm9loaderhax. If it Works, then update.

Hi guys

After taking some advice from the nice folk here I have started installing a9lh from https://plailect.github.io/Guide
https://plailect.github.io/Guide
Currently on
3. Update your 3DS again by going to System Settings, then “Other Settings”, then going all the way to the right and using “System Update”
of Section IV - Restoring the System

The guide says it's safe but just want to double double check as in setting firmware shows as 4.5.0-6E which is sysnand right and I don't want to update this? Sory guys I am a newbie so just want to make sure.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.
