Hey everyone back with a simple & quick tutorial on how to downgrade your 3DS or New 3DS down to 9.2 even from up to firmware 10.3. I have manage to downgrade my new 3ds using this method 3 times in a row successfully with no soft brick. Watch the tutorial and happy modding!

Did you use tubehax DNS?

No, should I remove something on the sd card??

What exactly happens? Do you try to update and it gives a error code?

I was on the final part, installing cias in order to downgrade, but then an error appears.

Now I cannot enter unless I press L+R+a+up

And the n3ds tells me to update, I press yes but then it tells me that it cannot update.

Maybe I should delete the update folder??

Maybe the final part to the .cia that got the error was a .cia for updating. I am guessing you are screwed now. Check your internet and make sure it is good on the 3DS.

I just want to comment that this method worked fine for me, it froze on first attempt, but it did the trick the second time. Used the sysupdater using the provided link (on youtube video) and CIA Updates on "that ISO site".

If you have an old 3ds you can downgrade further to 4.2 and get mset rxtools (very stable), if you new 3ds, just install rxtools as is

Thank you for the video. For my particular N3DS, using julian20 libkhax build, I have tried booting sysUpdater directly in hbl, after exiting ftbrony, through boot.3ds; experienced fairly poor boot rate, about 1 in 20 boots will get be a non black screen, only to end in CIA errors. Using a better class, larger storage microSD card than the class 4, 4 GB made no difference.

The video which suggests that speed is the key works for my particular N3DS. I have improved my scrolling speed by removing all other homebrew apps, except ftbrony and sysupdater, and it worked for me on the second try.

No up, I have a n3ds

nvm

 

[Manito]

Do I have to format my N3DS to do this?

 

[Returnofganon]

OK I have a question, can I make a nand backup as another layer of security just in case I messed up (which I usually do!) if so, how

You'll need a hard mod that requires soldering.

alright because I swear I did a nand backup so that I could give my mii gold pants but ok. Is there anyway that someone could check to see if the files I got where legit? I dont want a brick. I already checked and it is for the n3ds and us

you have the payload set to whatever you where on before you downgraded, hence it wont work

Just follow this guide now, you'll be able to get into Homebrewmenu via the camera/browser exploit: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutoria...ncluding-emunand-coldboot-cia-manager.405589/
