No, I do not have a gateway. I'm not sure of the exact CFW you're referring to, do you think you could send me a link? Thanks for the help.
Haven't touched my 3ds XL in a while so I'm completely out of touch with things here.. I have an untouched 3DSXL with firmware 7.1.0-16e.. where should I start from here? I want to get into some pokemon ORAS, but really just want to get up to date with things

actually, if you go through the downgrade through gw, they should give you the correct browser. Follow the steps as per the gw manual.
I will try to track down the link for the cfw, but if you can get the downgrade working, it is much easier.
Literally on the first page of the tutorial section XD

sorry my bad was looking at another page..... https://gbatemp.net/threads/poc-3ds-region-changing-proof.378110/ thanks much

it will say that cause your firmware is too low, what firmware are you on?
that firmware is too low, it wouldn't downgrade ummm do you have the 4.5.0-7 firmware? not sure if it work but have you tried sysupdate. NOT ON YOUR SYSTEM BUT IN EMUNAND MODE? what region 3ds do you have ?
I don't have 4.5.0-7. I'm on 4.5.0-4U but I'm trying to update to 4.5.0-7U so I can use Ninjhax, as I don't have a gateway. I haven't done anything with emunand yet, is it possible to use that without a gateway.
I'm only trying to use some emulators via the homebrew launcher at the moment, not too interested in installing any .cia game titles.
Hello, I have the opportunity to buy a second hand O3DS XL with the following firmware : 7.0.0-13E.
I am a bit hesitant to the way I will use it, this is a collector edition device and I do not want to brick it.
I have the choice to buy a Gateway, or an EU CN for pasta CFW. I do not want a sky.
What I want to do :
.cia/3ds files including region-free games, eshop games, DLC, themes.
I think I'll choose the gateway, as it uses emunand and seems to result in less dangerous manipulations. Is it really more safe ?
Some questions without any particular order :
1) Is there a way to uninstall a Gateway/CFW to return the device to its initial/retail state ? Is formating SD card+firmware enough to do that ?
2) If I want to use the web exploit for pokemon QR code injection, I must be in 9.0-9.2. Does it work with a CFW/gateway installed ? If yes, do I need to be in sysnand or emunand to do the qr code injection ?
2b) To update my firmware from 7.x to 9.2 I can use a Cooking Mama EU cartridge. Can this "cartridge update" only be applied to sysnand or to emunand too ?

the best answer I can give to you is to download the 4.5.0-7 firmware using 3DNUS an get sysUpdater.cia install it onto your console using mset and update from there, im not 100% sure it will work haven't tried it myself, not sure if there would be a chance that it could brick your 3ds not sure if there isn't.... not sure if anyone has tried that before

The instructions would work, but as you said, you would lose any CIAs and such. (On step 1, an unformatted card wouldn't work, because you wouldn't be able to put Launcher.dat onto it.) Gateway's .sav files would transfer just fine, since they aren't part of the emuNand or anything, but save files for installed games would probably not transfer. Also, formatting emuNand wipes the card, so you should include a step of copying the sysNand backup to the computer between 3 and 4. When completely done with the old 2GB card, the Windows utility "diskpart" can be used to red
EmuNand Tool is literally two buttons, "Extract emuNAND" and "Inject NAND to emuNAND". Even if you don't use it for this process, it's an important tool to have handy, as you should always make a backup of your emuNand before updating or doing anything that could cause problems (like installing system CIAs).
1) There is usually minimal changes to the system software involved. Exactly what changes depend on what you do. With an Old 3DS, your usual options are to downgrade to 4.5, or use the browser exploit. The browser exploit leaves no lasting changes to the system, and the downgrade can be "undone" by doing a System Update and Format System Memory (to remove the NVRAM Profile). To remove the emuNand partition from an SD card, you will need to use a partition manager such as "diskpart" that comes with Windows. Formatting will only format the FAT32 partition.
2) I am not too familiar with the exploit in question, but I believe it works just fine in emuNand. You need to be in whichever nand you use to play the game, I would assume.
2b) You can do it in either, but I believe there is a key combination you have to use to disable the "skip update check" when booting emuNand. Card updates do not include the browser, though, so if you need a specific browser version, the better option would be to just grab the appropriate CIA from 3DNUS and install that.
As long as you're not messing with system applications, the chance of a brick is pretty close to zero. Even if you are, as long as you're careful and follow guides, you're pretty safe. Generally, the only time you risk anything is during the downgrade to 4.5. As long as you make sure the system doesn't get turned off mid-downgrade, you have nothing to worry about. I would still recommend you make a backup of your NAND before doing anything just in case, since if something DOES happen, you can get a hardware mod that will let you restore that backup. (If the system boots, you can restore it yourself using the Gateway launcher. The mod is for the case where the system doesn't boot on its own at all.) Once you're running emuNand, and as long as you're only making changes to it, it's impossible to brick your system. emuNAND Tool lets you back up and restore your emuNand whenever you want, I'd recommend making a backup any time you're about to make any changes (like updating to a new version, installing any system CIAs, etc).
Thanks, figured. I ended up with a lot of original 3ds's with 2.2 firmware. Looking in to options to upgrade.
I have an o3ds with a sysnand of 7.1.0-14U with v1.7552 browser, emunand GW3D 9.5.0-23U with 1.7567 browser. If I am running my sysnand to play a cartridge, I am still able to use the Home button while playing a game, but when I am using my emunand to run a rom (using Gateway) or cartridge (using Gateway Classic), my Home button is disabled. Do I need to downgrade my sysnand to 4.5 in order to use my Home button with emunand? I need to be able to do this to use AR codes, and it would make switching games easier.
Hi, I have a 4GB SD card I would like to keep for legit CIA's. My sysnand is 4.5. I'm just wondering what is the easiest way to install a legit CIA and update emunand on the SD without having dual nand. I've gotten it to work but having 2 NAND's on the SD takes up to much space, I can install the game but I don't have space for the update. So now I'm only looking to install and run the legit game from a single nand SD, thank you.
EDIT problem sorted, nevermind

Uh... There's this guy who is selling some Pokemon games but he mentions that he took/copied the headers. I'm just so confused because I thought that the best practice is to make sure the cartridges won't be used again (so you and the accidental owners/users of the cartridges won't be banned), and who would do that to pokemon games anyway... Is it safe to do what he does now or is he a complete douche for putting those cartridges on sale?
