Hacking 3Down - CTRNAND Downgrade

[adrifcastr]

I'm not sure why you think torrent [or magnet] links circumvents the Forum rules here...

Anyway - on topic this is just an 11.3 ctrnand - alternatively you just downgrade the 6/7 titles [or how many it is] that were upgraded, right?

its transfering the whole ctrnand partition and then fixing the databases. the exact same thing you probably did in plailects guide.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

If you had a 11.2-U ctr image, I would totally use this to make my N3DS GW-compatible again.

I sadly don't have a us n3ds but you can make an emunand and use that eur version. I am not sure if it will change your region if you don't edit secureinfo_a but I have no time to test this right now

I can't figure out how to get FBI to restore the titlekeys. Tried the steps but the option didn't show up. Just ignore my previous edits, I was being stupid.

EDIT: I figured out what I was really doing wrong, fixed.

Nevermind, it's still not working.

you have to restore the tickets (.tik files) if you dumped your titlekeys you clearly read something wrong on that section

Yeah, apparently I was supposed to dump the contents of tickets.db or whatever itnwas, not enctitlekeys.bin. I didn't know what I was doing with D9 so I just used GodMode9 instead and figured it out.

I actually got the tickets off of my O3DS since I did a systransfer.

 

[FateForWindows]

Forgot to specify that I did a NAND backup prior to the systransfer on both devices.

I downgraded to 11.3 exactly following your tutorial, but there were a lot of blank icons and half my games were missing after restoring the tickets. I restored my 11.4 NAND backup with Godmode9, but now my savegames are missing. Did I do something wrong? But more importantly, how can I restore them? Thanks!

hourglass9 is the safer way, but thats not my stuff, I just guess that there were some issues with your nand backup since it should recognize the saves you should ask @d0k3 for stuff related to his decryption tools.

and to the blank boxes and missing games, which file did that make happen? also your games should have shown up except if you didn't restore all the tickets/corrupted ones.

I don't know what caused that. The only thing I can think of is that I stopped the ticket restore the first time by turning the 3ds off because it was re-downloading all the CDN titles (you didn't mention it in your tutorial btw, maybe something to add for the people that doesn't know what that option means). After that I restored them again without the CDN thing but still blank icons and missing games/saves.

Maybe it's just my SD card getting things corrupted of something, idk. But this really sucks, all those hours of gameplay gone.

For dont loose my save data i use JKSM, this tool help me too much Because when i downgrade my n3ds with this instruction to 11.3 its start laging, crashing and also doesn't work some functionality (like Download play). So i back to my own backup 11.0, Restore ticket without CDN and import Saves from JKSM. Works fine now, but of course i cant use Browser and eshop now.
P.S
Some games like Isaac or Mario 3d land need redownload. I dont know why but after downgrade its just dont start up (3DS logo forever)
