Get ANY CFW to work,can't install rop or install anything using FBI launcher it tells me I do not have permission. I am at my wits end as to what to do. I can't believe I can't even downgrade my browser because it won't give me permission. This has been way too long of a day. I am on a new 3ds xl and I got all of this working perfectly with emunand on my old 3ds.

Ok after 2 days of trying to downgrade it finally worked. I had a error but it shows v9.2 now and everything seems to be fine. I can go into setting play games on sky 3ds is the error at the end normal? i had to press power down to restart when it came back on. It was on 9.2 after it flashed a few cia files took about 2 mins

New 3DS XL
Nijahax and cubic ninja as entry point i started vgba and exit it.Then started i used (sysUpdater-0.4.2b-libkhax-SAFEMODE-priority) it started working flashing cia files and gave a error at the end.i had to hold the power button down but its on 9.2 now all working good.

Your downgrade was not successful. Try updating to 10.3 again (before it's too late) and try the downgrade once more or wait for a more reliable version. Also make sure Tubehax DNS is not set in your N3ds and I suggest you put only sysupdater and the downgrade files in your sdcard. I downgraded successfully that way.

After seeing 3 threads on this section of GBATemp with this case I can pretty much assume downgrading on 9.9 will not downgrade the browser.

I suggest you update to 10.3 and try again, like the previous poster suggested.

I already have homemenuhax installed. I can access homebrew launcher. Just FBI installer won't work and some other things.

Whoops sorry, must've missed that. First make sure your NANDs are unlinked. Try initializing your /dbs/ folder. Download http://gbatemp.net/attachments/database-files-zip.25843/ and go to your Nintendo 3DS folder, then the folder inside, then the folder in that one. You should see an extdata folder. Put the /dbs/ folder from the .zip next to it. If you had more than one Nintendo 3DS folder, put it in all of them.

Now go to Data Management in SysNAND System settings, then Software and hit Reset. Do the same in EmuNAND and you should be able to use FBI on both. Don't enter Data Management ever again after this, and only ever use FBI/DevMenu/SaveDataFiler to manage your game channels/saves

try running PastaCFW from the homebrew launcher, it may take several tries, then launch the homebrew version (3dsx) version of FBI by launching homemenuhax again right after selecting to boot into pasta. From there, install the CIA version of FBI using the 3dsx version of FBI. If this fails, redo the downgrade.

All this has been done. I dont have an emunand.I cant get ANY cfw to launch,I am lucky not to have a brick but Id rather have a brick tbh because ive spent all night doing this

rumor is KTM may release tomorrow (later today) so I would update then wait for KTM.

I think theres something out of the devs control. Otherwise the DG would work regardless.

I also have an N3DS. To quote the tutorial in here,

"First go here and download the package where it says Available here [1]. Inside is the rxTools version you need. Now google for Reisyukaku Pastebin and download the ReiNAND CFW you find there. Inside will be a firmware.bin, which you rename to 0004013820000002orig.bin, then you create a subfolder \data in the rxtools folder and put the firmware file in there. It has to look like this at the end: microSD:\rxTools\data\0004013820000002orig.bin"

After that, try launching RxTools.3dsx from HBL (or CTRBootManager if you want to set that up)

From my own experience, I think this build has a 90% chance of successfully booting up, with a 10% chance of crashing. After that, update (not downgrade) with the original sysupdater by profi200 using the 9.5 pack for your N3DS' proper region.

You can find the pack on the iso site.

Red screen, huh? Try it again. I think that was just bad RNG, because that's the same one I'm using.

not even cakes worked. No cfw worked and I have a 9.2/10.3cfw O3ds.I think my downgrade went wrong but I can even get a proper upgrade/downgrade from the sys app.

Did you already format EmuNAND? When you put your SD card in your computer, is the name of the drive something GATEWAY or EMUNAND9 related?

I never even got to make an emunand. I got my system to read version 9.2 and homebrew launcher on launch.
I think you should format your EmuNAND. Back up all your important files from your SD card to your computer. Get EMUNAND9 and run it from HBL, then perform a clean install. Format sysnand through system settings with the memory card out and put your files back on the sd card.

Then, set up menuhax through browserhax and try running rxtools again.

    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
