if you have a9lh, you should be capable of unninstalling it

It gives me the error of firmware > 11.0, so as of now this is the only screen that works.

I'm trying to update my N3DS on the most up to date A9LH/Luma from current system version 9.7xx to 11.3 via system update. Every time I try, I get the generic 'An Error has occurred. Unable to update.' I have set DNS to auto, I have changed date/time, I have booted up in the system updater and nothing seams to work. Any help is appreciated!

Try manually, downloading the .cia package from 3DNUS for your region, and the list of the FW

 

[TheLemurLord]

go from the homebrew launcher step, remeber to do everything on sysnand (i got a useful link on my sig)

Do I enter the sysNAND firmware version or the emuNAND version?

Sorry, new to the 3ds hacking scene, I have fbi and the cia's included in the 3ds.guide guide. How do I get that package and install it?

It's odd I placed al9h on and it stated update successful but this is the only menu I can access. It all occurred after using decrypt 9 to restore the nand with alh9

 

[SpectralVenom]

Got it working! Installed luma3ds and it now lets me boot to menu.

But my question now is can I format system memory, since I'm selling it? Don't want my info or them to get banned from Nintendo (if that's how it works)

- Does system memory format brick the 3ds
- Does updating from Nintendo brick the 3ds
- I have my NAND.bin and OTP.bin is that the best way to restore

Thanks

1) no
2) no
3) yes by either restoring the NAND Backup made prior to installing it or uninstalling using SafeA9LHINstaller

 

[Javman]

With Luma, yes.

Install a9lh first, then do a system transfer. The guide will tell you when to keep the important files.

You can use CTR-httpwn. However it would be easier to just install a9lh then update. Https://3ds.guide/

Make a save in your game, then use JKSM to make a backup of it. Look on your SD card to see where it puts the bin file. Then put yours in the same place, and use JKSM to restore it.

Thanks, Quantumcat! How do I do it, though? I have luma already.

Is Gateway the best way to restore?

No, use Hourglass9/Decrypt9.

Use freeShop. If it's not available then find a cia and install it.

 

[Javman]

Use freeShop. If it's not available then find a cia and install it.

I do have it installed, it is just when I run it it says "An Error has occured. Press and hold the power button to power off". My system is an American system.

Oh, that's weird. If it were a region problem, it wouldn't show up. If it were being on too low a firmware, it would be stuck on the Nintendo 3DS loading screen. I *think* if it were missing the seed it would also get stuck on the loading screen - maybe try importing the seed with FBI in case I'm wrong there. If you installed it as a cia, try deleting it and reinstalling with freeShop, it download it again in case it was corrupted or something.

 

[SpectralVenom]

No, use Hourglass9/Decrypt9.

Just wanted to say thanks, got it all sorted out

Thanks everyone for the all the help. I decide to format my sd card to bring back my emunand but now the problem is my sysnand was on 4.1.0. version and now my gateway emunand is also on 4.1.0. Is there a way to update emunand just on 11.2. because if I go to update system option it will always update to to last version? Thanks.

Do you have a9lh? You can do a CTR transfer to 9.2, then update with a cartridge to 11.2 (I think Yoshi's Wooly World has 11.2). This can be done in Gateway mode with a rom if you turn off the cartridge update blocker. Or, you can use sysupdater if you find the 11.2 firmware files on "that" ISO site.

Thanks for the info.
