Hacking Downgrading

[DarknessMonk]

Not really a one-shot thing. More like you have one attempt to downgrade. If you fail and you are soft bricked, you can use recovery mode to fix it but you will no longer be able to downgrade (if Nintendo patches it ofc).

I mean, that's what i'm talking about.

Personal opinion I guess.

What would you rather?

1. if it fails, either high chance of brick or you try again.
2. Very low brick chance, but if it fails, you're stuffed.

Dunno. Worried that option 2 will never come around. Even KTM has some code to auto-retry when soft-bricking.

Yeah KTM is the noob friendly way to downgrade. Wait for that if you're unsure.
Or Yolo it. (Not recommended on N3DS.)

Okay so my DNS is set to auto-obtain, and all of my upgrade cia's are now going into the updates folder of my 3DS, and sysUpdater is already installed. My body is ready.

Good.
Remember i'm here if you have any problems.
Also if it looks like it's stalled do not turn it off some parts take a while, either wait or ask me.

Working as intended.

If you get in, go straigh tto System Settings. If it says 9.2 then party time!!

 

[DutchyDutch]

Is it supposed to be on a black screen for a while after it rebooted?

Yeah, a few seconds.

That's a common issue.
*if its more than a minute


Turn off your 3ds.
Remove your SD Card.
Turn on your 3ds.
Put in SD card once on home menu
Change the theme. If it's on the one you want, change it to a different one and then back again.

Okay but i'm on menuhax. If I change the theme, will it go away?

Yes, but 9.2 has so much entrypoints available!

 

[DutchyDutch]

OMG IM ON 9.2!!!! Thank you so much @SomeGamer and @Jackus!

I thought that I had to try again! Now I'm gonna install Rxtools

 

[Seriel]

Yes. Use browserhax to reinstall it.
Just reinstall it.
This issue is caused by 10.3 menuhax not working on 9.2.
Edit: or 9.9, w/e.

Indeed it is c:

 

[dpad_5678]

So apparently, you can now downgrade from 10.3 to 9.2 however I need some tips.
Should I downgrade? I actually want to play my favorite 3DS games. (I am not that desperate really... well , kind of. :3)
Is there a huge chance of bricking? I double check everything I am doing usually.
If anyone could guide me, that would be great.

Why do you need to pirate them?
