Okay, my tries so far in case anyone was wondering.
1) Reformat n3ds (FW 10.1 U)
2) Use the QR code without internet to your browser--> yls8.mtheall.com/3dsbrowserhax.php
3) Once thats put in, you should have only that tab open. You can close it and return to home page.
4) Go to wifi, set it up to your internet connection (but for me I'm a worry freak so I put in the incorrect password on purpose)
5) Go to your connection and edit settings under DNS.
6) Now is the repetitive part...just keep entering browser and if it says the error message, cannot connect, just go back out to Home menu and try try again...
- Primary DNS 107.211.140.165
- Secondary DNS 107.211.140.065
7) Eventually the loading screen glitched out and I was finally able to enter HB.
8) I scroll to the Menuhax manager, install it, hit A, then A again, then B to exit once its done. Reboot N3DS
9) Turn it on, hit top left corner of settings, hit Theme change. It'll load a few seconds with that square block then go into theme settings. Exit and turn off
Now I'm off to work but I'll try to come back and work on it some more tonight. Hopefully it all goes well and others can see it working here. I just find alot of posts were either too indepth and complicated for me to understand , or not enough info to know whether or not I can use what they did. That being said, this DS is new, bought but has tried to update before, so it does come up with the please update message. I also have never installed any hax onto the DS so this will be the first time.
Edit: Finally home. Followed these steps on this guy's youtube video and it seemed to work after...7 more tries? It even hung up at the sysupdater menu where it asks to press Y or A for downgrade or upgrade. But finally finished and...yay~ downgraded
Is a reformat required as I'm still getting the "the internet browser cannot be used at this time" error message.
I'm on n3ds 9.9.0 btw
