Hacking How to re-enter RXTools after an accidental update to 11.2.0-37J?

[Sworly]

So, long story short, in a sleepy stupor, I accidentally accepted the prompts on SysNAND to update it's native firmware to 11.2.0-37, basically preventing me from being able to enter the boot entry screen (by holding down the "L" button on startup). I'm not certain what to do, as I can't seem to access HBL through BrowserHax...
Is there anyway that I can fix this, or will I need to restart from scratch with a different CFW (I prefer RXTools, and if it means keeping the progress/save data and games I installed on it, I'd like to stick with that)? And if this is an easy fix, will it keep all of my data before I updated SysNAND, or will it be all be lost? =/

In short: you've screwed yourself and will now need to get a hardmod or do the DSiware downgrade with another system with CFW to unscrew youself.

Once your past 9.2 on sysnand you can't use any cfw at all! So if you have a nand back up then you should have a Hardmod installed to use it and your 3ds should be back to a hackable fw
Edit: why were you on sysnand in the first place? Emunand is almost mandatory unless you have a9lh which is the best thing to have

Ur screwed. Also why don't you have A9LH installed? That could have saved you.

I believe it's because my girlie had started up my system, and likely didn't boot into the CFW (and it was just left on SysNAND). And I actually am not sure if I have A9LH (but I'll check to see; sorry to be a pain, I'm still really new to the 3DS modding community, and had actually gotten my system online already pre-modded).

EDIT: I should also mention I have an older N3DS LL (the Japanese MH3U black 3DS).

you were using rxtools. you only had emunand and not a9lh. get a hard mod done or get a whole new 3ds and do it again

Yeah, I'm seriously irritated with myself for the whole thing. I ought to have known better, but I must have been seriously out of it or something. Even fucking worse, is that this happened a week before the S/M leak, so I won't get to join in on that now.

The good news: if you are able to downgrade your SysNAND back to 9.2, you can install A9LH, move your current EmuNAND to your SysNAND, and keep all your games and saves while using Luma CFW. You'd no longer have to worry about updating SysNAND again, because your SysNAND would be updated already. Forget about rxTools; it is outdated and you can switch to any other CFW without losing data. Bookmark this: https://plailect.github.io/Guide/get-started

The bad news: getting back to 9.2 requires either a hardmod or another hacked 3DS that is capable of transferring to your current 3DS and a $5 DSiWare purchase. See: https://plailect.github.io/Guide/nfirm-downgrade

I can't say I didn't warn everyone
Your only choices now are DSi Downgrade or Hardmod

I can help read my signature.

Might as well sell the thing and use the money to buy a 10.7 or below 3ds.

Or just get someone to downgrade it to a haxable firmware, like me.

He has a Japanese console - no DSiWare downgrade for him. Hardmod only.

@Everyone Thank you guys so much for the responses. What I'll likely end up doing is utilizing the device as a general NTSC-J handheld for any Japanese games I might be interested in (such as Taiko no Tatsujin, Project Diva, etc.) and saving up for a pre-modded NN3DS XL. As saavy as I was with modding my PSP-1000, I can't say I'm as skilled with doing so with the 3DS, so I'll just bite the bullet, and pay the extra.
Again, I appreciate the help that everybody provided, and here's hoping I'm a bit smarter with modded devices in the future. Lol.

Next 3ds you mod make sure you installed a proper hack + cfw and not a outdated and broken one. https://plailect.github.io/Guide/get-started Best guide.

Installing a9lh is now much easier than rxTools by the way. If you managed rxTools then you can manage a9lh & Luma. So don't spend extra on a "pre-modded" console.
