Hello I just found my old 3ds with cfw and tried to update it but it says update failed? (no error code) Yes ik its something about my firewall but that didnt work so any help/ suggestions on how to update it?
This happened to me once after recovering a downgraded and bricked 3DS. I was skeptical that this would do anything, but it worked for me, updated, then I changed the DNS back and it was fine ever since. Yours could still be a different issue. Good luck.Hello I just found my old 3ds with cfw and tried to update it but it says update failed?

How to Manually Enter DNS Settings
thanks for mentioning it but nah it didnt install any of thatThis had happened to me because I installed a custom sleep screen (screen that pops up when you only tap the power button). My solution was I had to revert to the official sleep screen for that firmware and only then could I update to the latest firmware without it errorimg out. I dunno if that's your situation or not, but just thought I'd mention it in case it was.
Safe Mode on the 3DS
To boot into Safe Mode on the 3DS, you need to power off your device and power it back on while holding A+R+L+Up(d-pad).
If you did it correctly, you should be prompted with a system update.
u mean recovery mode? yeah that doesn't work eitherTry to update through safe mode
OP has not been around since April 2022, so I doubt will respond.OP did you ever get it to work?
