Can I use your guide on a new 3ds on version 11.0?

You have to update to 11.2. Don't worry, it's safe.

what entry point are you using.

 

[HSTurtle]

Reading this.

I did it with zoog's file with New 3ds 11.2 USA version with soundhax entry. Worked in my second try.

Again, svchax isn't working with safehax OR fasthax.
I've even tried chaining svchax into fasthax to safehax

Any ideas?

Some people say it's not working for them, but worked for me thrice. Try to follow my guide. If it still gives the error after 2 or 3 tries, we can confirm it's not user error.

Don't use svchax. Only fasthax+safehax. Check my tutorial: https://gbatemp.net/threads/safehax-11-1-2-downgrade-without-dsiware.455456/page-36#post-6974942.

I've already tried your guide, too.

Finished my guide. Now it also has steps to change the files needed for it to work on other regions than USA and torrent client links.

Try to install steelhax, as other users have reported is also working. And reply if it works. Gonna update my guide if it does.

Black Screen after running SafeHax/FastHax with SoundHax? Possible solution! Definitely try a different Entrypoint!
ie: OotHax or SteelHax. I have a 2DS that was on 11.x that I tried waithax on 3 times last night, with same black screen error after running safehax. Today I ran the SafeHax build posted in this thread about 10 times or so and it just showed a bunch of addresses and then stopped on a black screen after a bit of text that was too fast to read. I updated to 11.2.0 35U and tried a few more times, with no success. Just now I tried to launch the homebrew browser with OotHax then ran the posted SafeHax build and Decrypt9 launched TWICE in a row, first shot. Not saying this is everyones solution, but it was definitely mine.

Tried your method five or six times, sent to black screen almost immediately at step 8/9.

Then I'm updating my guide with instructions on how to install steelhax if something goes wrong.

Switch to steelhax. If you wait a few minutes, I'm updating my guide with instructions on how to do so.

O3DS/2DS v11.2.0-35U with soundhax as entrypoint: https://mega.nz/#!25d2XKCK!nwp7NIdMmYZduFhydSaZsH9zGy2a6DlP71SqXTdXCYE
N3DS v11.2.0-35U with soundax as entrypoint: https://mega.nz/#!j91g2CxI!YrxPgicql_vQ_SK4h5f8KhFUmXoKE4NcpKuVgswBv_k

Here are the instructions:

Requirements: uTorrent or Deluge.

1. Go to the link above that contains the ZIP for your device.
2. Go to this link and download the SafeA9LHInstaller 7z. We'll get to it later.
3. Go to this link (Note: it's a torrent magnet link, you'll need a torrent client to open it), download the file for your region and extract the zip.
4. Extract the Safehax ZIP you downloaded to your microSD root.
5. Get the 2.1.0 ctrtransfer files and put them in your files9 folder in your microSD root.
6. Put your microSD in your console.
7. Open Nintendo 3DS Sound, press DOWN (d-pad) two times and press A two times.
8. Homebrew will boot. Scroll down and launch Safehax.
9. Decrypt9WIP will launch. Choose "SysNAND Options", "CTRNAND tranfer...", "Auto CTRNAND Transfer". Press LEFT, UP, RIGHT, UP and A. Press A twice (one to select the zip file and the other to create a backup).
10. Press B and SELECT.
11. Now you can delete the 2.1.0 ctrtransfer files from your files9 folder.
12. Extract the SafeA9LHInstaller 7z and copy the "arm9.bin" to your microSD root.
13. Open the folder: "Nintendo 3DS/(32 Character ID)/(32 Character ID)/extdata/00000000" and delete the folder "0000008f".
14. Put the microSD in your console and press START.
15. Open your browser, do the initial setup, click URL and go to "http://dukesrg.github.io/2xrsa.html?arm11.bin".
16. It'll open a black screen with a few things written on it. Press SELECT, wait a few seconds and press any button to shutdown your console.
17. Power it on. The Luma3DS config screen will show. Press A at each one of the options (from "Autoboot SysNAND" to "Patch SVC/service/archive/ARM9 access). If you're on N3DS, also, Press A thrice at "New 3DS CPU". Press START and power off your console.
18. Power it on again. Exactly after you press the POWER button, hold START. It'll boot Houglass9.
19. Select "SysNAND Backup/Restore...", "SysNAND Restore (keep a9lh)". Now, press LEFT, UP, RIGHT, UP and A. Press A. After it successfully restores your 11.2 backup, just reboot your console.
20. Put your microSD into your PC and backup the "otp.bin" inside your "a9lh" folder.
21. Now you can delete the "3ds" (if you don't want Homebrew), "a9lh", "files9", "Themes" folders and the "arm9.bin", "arm11.bin", "SafeA9LHInstaller.dat" and "soundhax-usa-o3ds.m4a" (on O3DSes, on N3DSes it's "soundhax-usa-n3ds.m4a") files. Also delete "boot.3dsx" if you don't want homebrew.

If you have a 3DS from other region than U, follow these steps.
1. Go to http://soundhax.com/ and select the right config for region and device.
2. Instead of going to "Nintendo 3DS/(32 Character ID)/(32 Character ID)/extdata/00000000" and deleting the "0000008f" folder, delete "00000098" if yours is EUR, "00000082" if yours is JPN and "000000A9" if yours is KOR.

Totally.

What about injecting FBI? Making a NAND backup and installing StarUpdater and other important CIAs like www.3ds.guide

Got it working on my Old 3ds 11.2 system. Soundhax just doesn't seem to work with fasthax/safehax, and stays at black screens after. Using OoTHax everything loaded correctly
