Bought a used N3DSXL, said he removed freeshop to sell.

I could be wrong but I think you can downgrade it on that firmware.

It's dangerous to go alone.... Use this https://3ds.guide

 

Is the console currently on custom firmware?

 

If you take out the MicroSD card, does the 3DS still turn on?

 

WE NEED ANSWERS! D: <

 

Well, one way to check? Press and hold start while turning on the system.

 

Just do this, turn the console on, and hold select or start (dont remember) right as turning it on.

If enters to Luma menu, you got a9lh installed on CTR nand. if no, then you are on 11.2, you need to go to 2.1 to get the OTP to install a9lh.

So... does it enter to luma menu?

 

benefits to downgrading? A9LH Installation + CFW (Luma) if you update to 11.3 before you see this, well Have fun *insert sarcasm here*

 

open system Settings and look at bottom right hand corner do you see 11.2 ? if so use the guide if you see 11.3 you got taken.

 

go into settings where it says the firmware version if it says "SYS" before the firmware version its has A9LH installed into nand already ... if that is the case then all you need to do is install everything for luma and any other payloads you may want such as decrypt9 and godmode9 and then inject the FBI program installer for CIA files into the health and safety app(FBI installs CIA .. that will never get old XD)

 

One way to know if it's hacked or not is look at the firmware and if it has Sys in the firmware it's hacked.

 

Turn it off, then hold select and turn it
back on...

If that doesn't work, hold R on bootup. Corbenik CFW uses that to boot into the menu, but I would uninstall Corbenik and use Luma or SaltFW if you're new..

If neither works, it's probably on SaltFW.

 

Does it say "Sys <system version>"?
