i have finally taken the time to setup CtrBootManager to autoboot my N3ds instead of straight to RXtools.
mu setup is as follows

pressing nothing autoboots into RXtools
holding b launches Homebrew launcher

but the thing is that whenever i try to launch any app inside the homebrew launcher the N3ds freezes, and if i launch the homebrew launcher through CN it works fine.

heres my boot.cfg
Code:
boot_config :
{
  timeout = 0;
  autobootfix = 8;
  recovery = 2;
  default = 0;
  entries = (
    {
      title = "rxTools";
      path = "/rxTools/sys/code.bin";
      offset = "0x12000";
      key = 0;
    },
    {
      title = "HomeBrew Launcher";
      path = "/HBL.3dsx";
      key = 1;
    },
    {
      title = "Reboot";
      path = "reboot";
    },
    {
      title = "Shutdown";
      path = "shutdown";
    } );
  theme :
  {
    bgTop1 = "0E28FF";
    bgTop2 = "06016F";
    bgBottom = "02D6CD";
    highlight = "dcdcdc";
    borders = "ffffff";
    font1 = "ffffff";
    font2 = "000000";
    bgImgTop = "/yourimage.bin";
    bgImgBot = "/yourimage2.bin";
  };
};
    // if timeout = 0 (autoboot),
    // hold this key to enter the menu
    // keycode list : https://goo.gl/4XLDIL

Do you have arm9loaderhax? if so, no .3dsx file will ever boot, it's just not supported by a9lh.
Try to load another Homebrew Launcher, like gridLauncher, or any.

If HBL boots, but any CFW/emunand type of system doesn't boot,
It sounds like you may have partial downgrade on your hands.


Run sysupdater again from HBL to downgrade again.
It should fully downgrade now
(Both my systems took two runs lol)

Or run the "downgrade checking" app, which I can't remember what it is called.

Edit:
However if you originally could use Rxtools,
Then I have no idea what's going on.
