Hacking Can I downgrade from 9.5 sysnand via hardware mod to 9.2 using a 9.2 emunand backup?

[aurox]

I have a regular 3ds that I updated to 9.5 I used to use gateway on it when sysnand was on 9.2 and I have backed up my 9.2 emunand, now I want to downgrade via the hardware mod to use cfw. I read before that emunand can be flashed onto the nand directly. Is this going to work or not?

You can't flash an updated emunand, but you can flash a 9.0-9.2 emunand created from a 9.0-9.2 sysnand.

It was created using 9.2 so I guess I can downgrade then. Thanks!

Did it work?

No, it won't work that way. Flashing emunand backup to sysnand will lead to a brick unless it's 8.1 emunand backup base on my experience.

You can try to do that. Make sure you do a backup of your 9.5 sysnand first. Good luck.

8.1 was the last of a native firm so if you updated past 8.1 it wouldn't have worked for you. As @VerseHell said its all based on native firm at the time of setting up emunand. I also have ways of making emunand backups made on older versions work as well with some tinkering

Yeah if it comes to it you can inject FIRM files into an emunand backup to make it safe to flash to sysnand, I had to do this on my old3DS.
