Hacking desesperate Question on sysnand & Gateway

[keben]

hi eveybody
My son made a terrible mistake by upgrading his 3DS to the last firmware ver 11.0.0-33E.
I have a backup of my Nand.bin made earlier but as i am unable to launch the gateway hack i can't find a way to restore it..
Well i assume you guess my question : am i stuck with this firmware waiting for an hypothetic upgrade of gateway ...OR do someone can save my life (and my son's life also ...just kidding) and help find a way to restore the NAND i backup earlier?
Thanks for any help you can provide

Yes, you are stuck
11.0 is currently undowngradable due to a little thing called minimumVersionRequired
As long as this exists, it'll be difficult to downgrade, as this checks a hardcoded list of system titleIDs and if it's lower than that it fails, thus disabling our current way to downgrade.

You can restore the nand or downgrade via hardmod. So no, not all is lost.

3 days. I was spot on.

thanks for your answer ...may i go further in noob attitude if i ask for a link to a tuto on hard mode downgrade
not that i am lazy (ok a litle ) but i am not so confident in my skill in finding the right things

Fun fact. A9LH would have made this situation barely a problem!

Menuhax too actually. Either it boots to emuNAND or to a yellow screen, but in both case you can't update the sysNAND.
I guess some people out there still use MSET in 2016.

(Not defending menuhax over a9lh, just saying that MSET is the worst idea ever).

Here are the pinouts for the hardmod: https://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/Hardware#NAND_pinout

I suggest sending the unit out for a hard mod. It's really difficult to do unless you're particularly talented with a soldering iron. If you fail youll have to spend more money just trying to get back to where you were. Worth the $60

Actually you were wrong. Did you miss this thread? http://gbatemp.net/threads/freakyhax-on-11-0-0-33.432893/

Anyways, OP. hardmod is your only option now. Sorry.

Oh. I didn't look at that thread

Another possible option: Buy another 3ds, hack it, system transfer, then sell the current 3ds.

1. buy a 9.2 3ds
2. change motherboards
3. refund new 3ds
4. profit

Protip: Accidental upgrades to 11.0.0 firmware is one reason why you should hack your 3DS IMMEDIATELY when you're able to do so.
