Homebrew "An error has occurred" every time I downgrade what do I do

[Arbazkool]

What do I do I always have to keep going into recovery mode whenever I do this cause this happens, this is probably the 6th time this has happened and I always had to update after

 

[Games&Stuff]

My friend formatted and then he tried it again (after restoring his backup)

 

[MasterLel]

Update it to 10.3, format the console, and try to dowgrade again

 

[Razorzeto]

I'm doing that, I'll let you know what happens.

Also, use this build of sysupdater made by @julian20 : https://gbatemp.net/attachments/sysupdater-zip.34449/

It just installed flawlessly, after 5 minutes i'm on 9.2.
So yes, you have to format 'cause the soft brick will stay unless you do.

 

[MasterLel]

I wonder why it works after formating, but hey, it works

 

[SonicHyuga]

I would like to know this, too. I've got way too much downloaded stuff to have to go and format.

Something left over from newer updates is obviously preventing the Home Menu from booting upon downgrading. Time to go digging. :V

You can redownload them if you want to once formated

I have like 30 digital titles from eshop, but also I have a 32gb SD card an "Internet" So it doesn't matter to me.

So I tried this and an error occurred but recovery mode isn't working and I'm kinda panicing any ideas?

Did you have homemenuhax installed? The payloads from 10.3 don't work on 9.2 and cause a black screen on boot.

Also but this is me just wondering I don't know if it actually could be a problem but I would assume people with the badge arcade could have a problem with the downgrade since badges on home screen didn't exist in 9.2

I'm getting the same error every time I downgrade. I really don't want to format because I have a bunch of eshop titles and don't want to lose my data.

Are you holding down the buttons before booting up?

Are you holding down the buttons before booting up?

YES a+R+L+ dpad up with both hands and I press the on button with my nose.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Just keep trying. Don't panic. It should work.Sometimes I have to keep doing it before the update screen finally comes up.

No, I've used OoT3DHax, Ironhax, and Browserhax.

IIRC it is possible to use badges on 9.2, so I don't believe that is the issue. In fact, I didn't start using them at all until my 4th fail attempt. (out of 6)

I do have Home Menu layouts saved (which was 9.6), and am unsure if the 3DS might also store them within the NAND in some way.
