Hacking Gateway Downgrading

[Trice]

Cool. Thank you, I was actually scared to do that. I'm interested whether that will work.

The eShop access from emuNAND (created on 4.5 and then updated to 9.4) worked with and without a linked NNID.

Yes you can indeed "upgrade" with the downgrade tool. That's the first thing i did with it was upgrade my 4.5 sysnand to 9.2 with an emunand backup. Then downgraded again with gateway's dg file.

why, or just for fun?

 

[Shadowtrance]

Yeah pretty much, one of those "because i can" moments. haha

Can SaveDataFiler backup retail AS to transfer the save to my .3DZ file as AS retail is corrupted in Classic mode?

Edit: Is this even possible?

I was asking myself the same question. I wan't so badly to use SaveDataFiler with my old Retail Pokemon X with +400 hours.

Downgraded one of my 9.2 classic 3DS (U) consoles with no issues.

Successfully downgraded my 9.2.0-20E 3DS to 4.5.0-8E.

Earlier I sucessfuly downgraded from 9.2.0 USA to 4.2.0 USA .

can i downgrade to 1.0.0 ?

It's possible that in the future they may add more downgrade files to their database, however at this time you could not (AFAIK) downgrade to 1.0.0 through the gateway downgrader.
You may be able to do it manually via CIA files, but I do not take any responsibility for your trying (If you do so)

Anyone know why after I downgraded successfully to 4.5, loaded my previous 9.2 NAND backup and created a emuNAND partitiion the gateway downgrade menu keeps asking me to backup my sysNAND even though I have already backed it up multiple times and it is on my SD card?

Is it called "NAND.BIN" or have you renamed it?

Did you format while on sysnand after creating the emunand? Sounds like something along the lines of a missed step that would be completed under normal operation has been missed at least. Try going over some steps to see if that reveals anything.

Ive literally clicked backup NAND, let it run then immediately gone to the downgrade screen and it still doesn't work.

Have you tried restarting your system and opening the downgrader again?

Do you have to format the sysnand after creating the emunand without the SD card in the system? also I tried formatting my sysnand after updating my emunand but it didn't work, would it work if I did it beforehand?

I've downgraded my 9.2 USA 3DS to 4.2 successfully. Notes:

* When installing the blue card exploit, the asterisks froze, but closing the 3DS lid and re-opening it fixed the problem.
* I had sysnand and emunand unlinked. I set up NNID on sysnand, and so was able to use eshop on my 9.4 emunand. After downgrading, I was still able to use eshop in my 9.4 emunand

I couldn't say, I can only suggest making sure you follow through some steps to ensure there's no room for error

Just formatted the SD and it seems to be starting the downgrade fine now, oddly enough my EMUNAND partition is still there.

I've tried all the ways to backup the save from my retail ORAS/ XY but none working so far.

Anyway my retail X has 999.59 hours in game counting, 1500 hours still counting in the system LOL
