Hold L R UP A then press power button. Youll be taken to the update screen and start fresh from there. Its possible that you only just got a softbrick.
nope I think it was a hard brick which smashed through my system. Lol I can't get into recovery mode. It looks like I'm sol unless I can find a way of powering on without the system cutting off on me.

The KTM method will grant full CPU and kernel access for GBA games and SNES emulators at full speed and stuff, right? Just like an n3ds that was always on 9.0?

How did u get out of the soft brick? Be specific. I'm in a soft brick now. It says an error occurred ya da ya da ya da ....I can't keep the system powered on for more than a few seconds and I can't seem to get into recovery mode. Is my timing off? Or am I pressing the wrong buttons? 10.3 iron hax n3ds

I thought KTM was for downgrading only? Not sure though, I haven't done any research.

It seems like some downgrades do not "fully" downgrade to 9.2 in the sense that you will not get the full CPU usage when using say an SNES emulator. I am not sure if KTM is one of those.

I am using menuhax on N3DS downgrading from 10.3 to 9.2, after 2 dozen tries, I finally got it to install. However, now the system says "Rebooting in 10 seconds..." and that was 10 MINUTES ago. After a bit, I just took a chance and shut off the 3DS, and then powered it back on. I am now on 9.2!

I finally got sysUpdater to load (took like 10 tries using MenuHax) but is it stuck?

It's been on that forever (yes I pressed "Y"). I looked at the guide in the OP and in his video, red text showed up underneath (b)exit so I don't know if it's frozen or actually doing something?

I'm scared to death of restarting so any opinion would be appreciated.
