Homebrew Downgrade Question: Is It Safe?

[Lacius]

If you can't follow Plailect's guide, you shouldn't be trying to downgrade your 3DS.

Man I do hope nothing goes wrong with how long this process is taking

it gives me some kind of timeout, i had to leave my computer atm, but it gives me a red bar during the copy progress and asks me to try again then fails

Probably not enough space

I was wondering if it was safe to downgrade my 3ds firmware from 10.7 to a 9.2 firmware, i think it might brick my 3ds

As long as you have the right files and take every safety precaution you'll be fine. Though if your on 10.7, I would recommend getting A9LH, it's really great as it can never be patched and the thing will work even if you update.

• isnt a9lh patched on 10.7

Definitely not. Only 11.0.

Shouldn't. You shouldn't have any questions if you are following this guide: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki

You should free up some space or buy a bigger SD card.

 

[Mrzeldaootfan]

im just gonna free up space, probably filled it up, i have a 16gb card

No, downgrading is patched on 11.0. A9LH works if you follow the guide from beginning to end.

Or you can go the old school route, Menuhax + ctr boot manager + emunand + cfw

I was just referencing the downgrade part of the guide.

I have downgraded and install A9LH on 4 different systems thus far, all of them turned out just fine.
The tools have become a lot safer and now have built in features to check for errors before they happen to keep your system safe.

Please don't. MenuHAX is out of date and unreliable, go with A9LH. There's just no reason to support out of date tech.

last question, do i need to connect to an internet while downgrading?

its highly unlikely, but as they say, it's not 100% safe, and never will be. none of this stuff will.

here's a quote from a movie i don't know the title of that i like to use whenever someone asks if something like this is like 200% or so safe:
"what's the safest way to go skiing? don't ski."

No. However, if you brick, you'll need internet to update to 11.0. But with plaisysupdater, it will be highly unlikely. Just note that you'll need a game to run the Homebrew launcher. Also, don't use a tubehax DNS. Tubehax blocks Nintendo servers and if you brick, (unless you turn off your router and turn it back on) it's not possible.
