Hacking Gateway Downgrading

[CrispyYoshi]

I know I've said I had the system update nag after downgrading but I'm starting to suspect it was only the first time I booted up... Is there any way to test if I really have the update nag or not without actually sitting to download it, or should I just not question it and continue avoiding it?

They're very likely linked, if you're asking if I've connected with my NNID in the past before formatting emunand. I have a NAND backup for 9.2 before I downgraded too, and I'm also wondering if that could restore my NNID in the event formatting removes the NNID?

Thanks for the info. And restoring your NAND back to 9.2 to remove the update nag by formatting sounds like it should work. Good luck

Total NOOB question.... What is an MD5? I just know that I had my 3DS on 4.0 before...

MD5 is an algorythm that, when you check a file, it spits out a hash value associated with it. A lot of times, it's used by network security people to make sure they downloaded the correct file, and it hasn't been corrupted by malicious hackers or code. It's very hard, some consider it impossible, to modify the value to it's original MD5 state after a file has been tampered with.

In this situation, it seems more about making sure that you download the file in its entirety. If something should corrupt the download process, and you lose even a few bits of data, it could mean the difference between downgrading and bricking. Better safe than sorry.

Well that's just fucking great... All I have is a god-damned 2DS.

I can't believe what we're doing. We are fucking DOWNGRADING. Would anyone EVER believed we would do that one day?XD

 

[DavidKang]

Downgraded successfully!

 

[Romsstar]

Oh right just a stupid question but to be sure:
Has anyone used the same SD card for downgrading two consoles? Because of the Nintendo3DS metadata.
I don't know if that will fuck things up if one is japan and the other europe

Hope is a four letter word...

And I like me some four letter words.

it will only show once every 24 hours, I believe.
You should format your 4.5 sysnand to get rid of it.

Just downgraded my 9.2 EU 3DSXL.
No red card.

I want to downgrade and mess with homebrew but I don't even have a ds mode cart.

Downgraded a launch EU Black 3DS from 9.2 to 4.5 successfully (no Gateway).

petty common when there's softmods, look at wii, psp, ps3, etc.

 

[blobox]

what surprises me the most is gateway's reaction when telling us the news like
"oh yeah also now you can downgrade. meh."

 

[YamiZee]

Before downgrading I want to know something obvious that every other gw user knows: after running the profile exploit once on 4.5, do you still need to use the blue cart every time? I don't like fiddling with carts so if that's the case, I hope the qr exploit works well offline.

And to think you were bitching all day every day til now. You see, good things happen to those who wait I'm really excited about the bonus feature they've been teasing
