I am getting an error that says I can't update.
You gotta ctrtransfer to 9.2 and then update.

Hyoretsu, I got to the "Delete the 9.2.0 ctrtransfer image .bin and .bin.sha from the /files9/ folder on your SD card" step and did that. Inserted the sd card back into my 3ds. The "Update your CFW SysNAND to the latest version using system settings" is just booting the 3ds normal and updating it like normal?
Yes.
 
If you follow the 9.2 ctrtransfer and update to 11.2, it'll do the same thing as the backup. Excluding that you'll have to re-download any games/re-do any saves you had. You'll still have a9lh.

Dang. That sucks for my Pokemon Yellow game. But as for cartridges, I have PowerSaves so if that did anything to those saves I have those still. I am gonna see how well I can follow these steps and hopefully not break anything. Thanks for all the help!

Yes.
I did that. Got the back up and it was the right size. Deleted the 9.2.0 bin and bin sha. Put the sd card back in and tried to update and I get the update error. I know I have to be missing something incredible simple and obvious.
 
Sorry for asking so many questions but when i insert the url the screen glitches but the menu doesnt show up so i do as the instrucions say i continue like nothing happend i press select wait like 5-10 sec and the press A but nothing happens? Any ideas? oh and is there a way to restart from scratch?

On the auto CTRNAND transfer it comes up with:
AL9H not detected, checking FIRM0...
No usable file found
Auto CTRNAND Transfer: failed

What have I done wrong? (Sorry if this has been asked, I've looked)

Try to extract this and put all of its files in your microSD root, excluding arm9loaderhax.bin.

Downgrade to 2.1? That means you don't have a 2.1 downgrade file in your "files9" folder.

I was trying all the steps for the 9.2.0 ctrtransfer but got to the point of backing up SysNAND to NANDmin.bin and received an error saying that there was not enough space left on the SDcard. Is there any way I can fix this without having to buy an 8GB card? I already have 4GB card in the system to begin with but apparently that was not enough space for all the steps.
 
here is whats going on for me. and it looks like the same thing as yours Kanter.

A backup at that point wouldn't be of much use so you can skip that part. Or remove the 9.2 ctrnand.bin - backup sysnand - unmount sdcard - copy backup to PC - add 9.2 ctrnand.bin back and transfer it.
 
This guide is more easy to follow than Plailect, but I was reading Plailect guide and I wonder about the additional step in which we dump the tickets and then restore those tickets at the end of the guide?

In regards to files that I should backup and keep safe in my computer I only have a copy of my Nintendo folder and the otp.bin file. I was reading and someone said to save a copy of stuff such as nand, is there something I should keep a copy of? Other than the 2 files I already saved on my PC.

It's not necessary, because you'll restore your backup, which restores your tickets.

Make a backup of opt.bin. Copy arm9loaderhax.bin to your CTRNAND root through FBI.
