Homebrew 3DS Homebrew 9.8

[Jimbo_Slim]

So I got a O3DS on firmware 9.8.0-25U and I want to homebrew and get CFW on it. Do I use the 3DS downgrade tool or what to downgrade it to 9.2?

I have 1 slight problem. The site I normally use keeps crashing and because the L button is broken, I can't use QR codes. If I go to the camera app, the QR code option isn't even there.

You don't have to scan the QR. Go to the browser and put the URL in yourself. Make a bookmark for easier access next time.

Bookmark it and keep trying. There's no difference between typing it manually, using a bookmark or using QR code.

The problem is that every time I enter the URL, the 3DS loads for a second and then freezes and crashes the browser. I have no clue to why as this 3DS is practically fresh apart from a little physical damage.

You should keep retrying. Also:

Open the browser, then open the browser settings

1. Scroll to the bottom and Initialize Savedata (it also may be called Clear All Save Data)
2. Try the exploit again

Nothing seems to work so I'll have to wait until I can borrow a game for a secondary exploit. Thanks for the help though.

Did you prime the theme first by changing your theme and then changing it back to no theme?

I ran into this problem and has to do two things.

1. Make sure I primed the theme each try.
2. I saved the link as a bookmark (actually replaced yahoo with it) and rushed it open before it could freeze.

 

[Jimbo_Slim]

Never primed the theme as it was on the no theme. I try rushing to the bookmark and it froze and crashed after loading a quarter of the website

THANK YOU!!! It actually worked after 2 tries

Sorry for the double post but I have another problem (whoopee -_-') I can't seem to find a resolution to sysDowngrader. The problem is that after it says Beginning downgrade..., it gets an error and says Failed to open directory.

Are you sure that you have the 9.2.0 downgrade files in your updates folder on the root of your SD card? Delete your updates folder and redownload them if necessary. Be sure to follow the guide to the letter.

Alright so I made it as far as to the ctrtransfer. I can't seem to find the 2.1.0 ctrtransfer image as all of the links point to the guide which doesn't have it anymore. Anyone have 1 I can use?

The links to the 2.1.0 ctrtransfer files here are magnet links, meaning that you need a torrent program (such as qBittorrent) to download them. The first page of the guide explains this.
