So, has anyone safely restored sysnand on N3DS after downgrading MSET?
And I mean restored with GateWay (I have backed my sysNAND before doing the MSET thingy).
Thanks!

For 2DS, what happened to me, Install Downgraded System Setting App and then Format, cause something like a "semi-brick", when it start up again, it ask you to turn on the 3D Slider, which obviously doesn't exist and can't continue from that point, need a Hard-Mod to restore it.

No no removing the sd while in emunand doesn't brick the 3ds, it just freezes it (experienced multiple time). But how can a 3ds get bricked while formatting the emunand?!
I'm pretty sure it is pulling stuff from the NAND directly and if it messes up when it is copying, I'm pretty sure it corrupts a file. I dunno. Just my theory

I was so close to formatting my n3ds sysnand with downgraded mset to unlink sysnand and emunand two days ago. So glad I just formated emunand instead. I didn't knew it would have caused brick and I even forgot to look it up. That was a close one. :O

donwgrate New 3ds Mset 4.x sysnand then format sysnand .... i guess ... not good at all, bricked 3ds


Q: How can i restore my SYSTEMSETTINGS (MSET) for sys/emuNAND?
A: Install the right version/TitleID for your Firmware or restore untouched Backup

3DNUS / UpdateCDN CIA TitleID for MSET
Code:
USA = 0004001000021000 9.0-9.5 = v8203 MD5: 5077D839633EC80E7A9D3CA98B794D4B
EUR = 0004001000022000 9.0-9.5 = v8202 MD5: 7D9E073A6349DDEF77E67B2102B4EEA5
JPN = 0004001000020000 8.1-9.5 = v9224 MD5: 375EDB36DA62AE44D4D8C91DAB854573
