Hacking 3Down - CTRNAND Downgrade

[Panana_Bread]

doesn't matter, I'd just say, that system settings update goes way faster then restoring your nand

Thanks!

@addi33 you should add some warnings about ctrnand transfer.

1-Ctrnand transfer wipe off all your tickets, just using tikshop is not a real solution since it wont install all the missing tickets(like homebrew ones andlegit ones), add intruction on how to dump them and reinstall them like 3ds.guide does.

Also those ctrnand images contains the donor 3ds unique files like localfriendcodedseed_B(A), which can be used to unban banned 3DS, ultimately banning the donor 3ds when the seed gets banned. (Unless you already cleaned them)

Would just restoring your NAND fix these issues?

I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this but, after I did this, whenever I launch a digital game my 3DS crashes entirely. Strangely, whenever I launch a game from the cartridge slot, it doesn't crash. I have a NAND backup if it comes to me having to restore it.

does an error message show up, or does it shut off?

There is an error message.
"Processor: ARM11 (core 1)
Exception type: prefetch abort (svcBreak)
Current process: loader"

@medicy i think you are missing the SEED for the game, to get that go to FBI->TItles select the game and select import seed.Do that for each game having problems(Try with one first to see if this is indeed the issue first)

Thanks, im a noob when it comes to 3ds hacking.

dont worry, i'm the same!

If you get an infinite 3DS loading screen, go to eShop and redone load it so you get the seed

When I dumped my JPN and USA transfer image, I forgot to restore my Health & Safety app before dumping... If you really want the H&S app, you could extract one from one of your NAND backups with GM9. If you don't have back up tho, delete the fake H&S on 11.4 and you should at some point receive a system update which installs the stock H&S app, then use GM9 to backup that one then restore it to your 11.3. I don't know why anyone would do that but there you go. Or you could try google one online. Again, this is only for my JPN and USA dump.

No, restoring the NAND will essentially reverse the whole CTRNAND transfer and bring you back to square 1. If you restore the NAND, you would also restore the previous contents of the CTRNAND.

after doing the ctrnand transfer i have to restore the tickets with tikshop ?

Will this wipe my games and themes? Sorry for noob question.

This won't wipe your games and themes. For games, just reinstall tickets and seeds using FBI and you should be good.

if you used theme cia made with howling theme tool you may not be able to recover the ticket, you will have to reinstall, this is the only case in which theme cant be recovered

How do I reinstall them? I clicked 'tickets' in FBI but it just shows me a bunch of hex codes

You need to get Tikshop. Once you launch it , it will reinstall all the missing tickets and you will get your games back.

Keep in mind that if , by any chance , you had cia games from different region installed (say your 3ds is USA but you have some EUR games) those wont be back.

Think I finally got it. Thanks for all the help guys, awesome community.

Does anyone else think this should be moved to the CFW section? I feel like there are more people that need it even though its technically neither a cfw nor a flashcard.
