Hacking Can I downgrade from 11.3.0 with Hardmod/Dsiwarehax?

[Eastonator12]

THANK YOU!

The amount of retardation we get here with every update is astounding.

Yea, if people would read this site would be almost dead lmao

I hope that they get 11.3 cracked. My GF's son just updated my 3DS to 11.3. I bought it it was 10.6. I left it at the house and went to work, he grabbed it and put in one of his 2DS games and played. While doing that, he thought he'd be nice and upgrade the firmware for me.

Wait a minitune, doesn't your GF's son is also your son? Or you GF divorce once?

From a previous marriage...Good kid, just doesn't do hacking at all and didn't know that's what I bought it for. He even created a "Mii" that looked like...well....me. I just couldn't get mad at him for trying to be nice and bond.

No you can't downgrade from 11.3 yet, unless you have a9lh and a 11.2 NAND backup.

Hi, I have a backup with Frimware 11.2. Can I downgrade my console?

If you have a9lh. If you don't then you're SOL.

Yes with a hardmod or DSiWarehax from transferring from another hacked console (assuming you don't have a9lh otherwise you would not need to downgrade).

Edit: the NAND backup has to be from your console. Restoring someone else's will brick your 3DS.

They're on 11.3, which patched both of those methods. They're stuck on 11.3 because they don't have a9lh.

You can still restore a NAND backup with hardmod or DSiWarehax. 11.3 only patched booting the home menu with a lower NATIVE_FIRM.

Don't both of those methods lower the NATIVE_FIRM?

You're restoring a NAND backup though, so the whole firmware will become 11.2. Instead of 11.3 with a lower NATIVE_FIRM.

That makes more sense. I should not try to argue anything on less than an hour of sleep. >.<

I wonder if sigHax will be released within the next month.

Probably not but one can dream.

what if we downgrade everything on computer except the 3DS boot loader, like we do in PS3 to downgrade and dump back the Nand (y)

Good luck doing that when everything on the NAND aside from the FIRMs is encrypted. You could do that with xorpads, sure. But without them? If you end up with anything usable, you're either a magitek wizard, or putting Lady Luck to shame.

Not possible due to the hardware encryption/console-specific keys that the 3DS utilizes. The only way to get access to the NAND and the crypto hardware needed to do this is an ARM9 exploit, at which point downgrading is not necessary (except currently to 2.1 to get the OTP).

DSiWarehax gets you access to the NAND, but with no way to decrypt the CTRNAND.

I have a theory, CTRTRANSFER files are like NAND backups compatible for any console.
CTRNAND contains home menu data, so, what if a hardmod was made, and instead of restoring an older NFIRM, we restore a ctrtransfer.

That doesn't work. CTRTransfers aren't magical console-independent NAND backups that can be restored that way. They are encrypted using the 3DS's crypto hardware during the process. You can't do a ctrtransfer with a NAND backup alone.

So you need a xorpad?
