That won't help you're not even giving info about this.Im crying my N3DS is bricked
I have a noob question regarding downgrading and installing CFWs... how does it affect nintendo network and features added >9.2 FW such as badge arcade and (i think) themes?
It may take some time after the Checking CIA information message thingy before it actually starts installing anything.No, it will not. Guis there is a very low brick rate (to be honest i haven't seen anyone actually brick) PLus those on N3DS the repo on Github does say it isnt confirmed to even work.
Whats the steps to achieve it?

Thank you, mate!!Remove the 000400102002CA00.cia file from the update package and follow the normal downgrade process
Thank you by the way, downgrading to 4.5 worked. Am i stuck down here or can i later upgrade to 9.2, as i would like to use themesDowngrading N3ds... wish me luck.

You can't use badges on 9.2, since, it didn't exist then. Also, Not much..

You can update to 9.2 with sysupdater, but it's safer to just use emunand.Thank you by the way, downgrading to 4.5 worked. Am i stuck down here or can i later upgrade to 9.2, as i would like to use themes
