I have fieldrunners preped to run dsiwarehax and can successfully downgraded nfirm. I only have steelhax as an entry point and I am unable to by meself or soemone else have it hafdmoded. For some reason sys downgrader gets through the whole process acting as if successful but softbricks the system. What options do I have of possibly a different program then sysdowngrader or something I change to help it be successful?

When you say it "softbricks," are you referring to the error message that says to power your 3ds off and on again?

So you're saying that you already downgraded your NFIRM I'm guessing?
Why are you using sysdowngrader after downgrading your NFIRM?

You should be on downgrading to 9.2.0? (with CTR transfer?)

You use Dsiwarehax to downgrade to 10.4, and sysdowngrader to downgrade to 9.2.

Hmm, you're not wrong, looks like the guide has changed ALOT since I've last checked it.
You would usually just do CTR Transfer but I guess you're supposed to use sysdowngrader now.

Here's the instructions I received.

"you need to format to get rid of the softbrick

update to 11.2 -> downgrade nfirm -> tinyformat -> downgrade to 9.2

you better be having a cart entrypoint for that though

and maybe backup your nand if you don't want to lose stuff"
