Hacking FAQ about 3ds system update 11.3

[Majickhat55]

Could you elaborate a little I'm not understanding how a entry point is going to get the browser to work. Also does soundhax even work on 2.1?

No, soundhax doesn't work on 2.1 "From 9.0.0-7 up to and including 11.2.0-35."..... BUT we've never gotten an update nag on 2.1 even when we used to have to downgrade to 9.2 first so I don't see why this would be any different. It's already been confirmed downgrading works after updating and restoring a NAND from 11.2 so I doubt this is a problem anyway. Not to mention you can just delete the pending titles in FBI to get rid of the nag before downgrading.

I mean soundhax IS the entry point, no browser needed. But you shouldn't have to worry about nag on 2.1

Awesome, I appreciate the quick response. I was guessing that 2.1 wouldn't have the nag after I downgraded. But I figured I would be good to ask before I started the process and ended up with a n3ds on 2.1. Thanks again for the info.

No it won't. You also need the browser on 2.1 regardless to load SafeA9LHInstaller.

I was wondering about the browser part on 2.1 (actually installing a9lh) not a entry point.

To which he won't have the nag.
On a stock console to downgrade to 2.1 in the first place, can't he use soundhax?

The entry points aren't patched, the payload itself is. Not to mention, 11.3 only effects the HomeBrew launcher. The CFW the guide suggests (Luma3DS) and A9LH work perfectly fine on 11.3. There is no reason to remove it as it's perfectly safe. No HomeBrew isn't a brick.

Please don't use Luma updater. Download the latest stable release from here https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases and then update. Luma was not patched.

That's all I needed to know Really thanks for the clarification!

To downgrade TO 2.1 from 11.2 yes. But not ON 2.1, he needs to use the browser. It won't trigger a nag.

Gotcha, I probably misread you then.
I'll update the OP to better reflect that.

What about my save backups?
jksm is still fine, as well as nand dumping via software means.

But My Jksm is inside homebrew! Atleast that's how I access it.

if you have fbi, you can install the cia version and continue like normal

It can be tweaked to work.

its possible, but he got his problem solved anyway.

Thanks for the reply. So, I just downloaded JKSM.cia. To use it with fbi all I need to do is put in the CIA folder inside the SD card?

yes. go to your cia folder, install it, and it will be on your home menu.
once its installed, you can delete the cia afterwards.

Hey, can someone help me out here, please. I entered in the luma icon in the homemenu to search for an update but an error message poped up and the 3ds rebooted. Can I only check for an update during the boot then? if so how do I do it? I think I have 6.6 but I have to be sure.

DONT use the updater. use the latest stable, which is version 6.6, which i linked in the OP

What is wrong with the updater?

technically nothing, but its just best to use the stable, rather then a nightly or hourly.
