So, i decided to switch my old setup menuhax+luma3DS to arm9loaderhax, did it like a charm on my N3DS, no errors, everthyng fine.
But... Now i'm trying to do the same on a old3DS, i followed carefully the 3ds.guide
but when i open safehax to downgrade firmware to 2.1.0, it shows:

"ERROR [!] pm init failed, press start to exit"

I checked files, names, folders locations and all many times, everything seems to be exactly where it should be.
Any tips or solutions?

I'm on 9.2.0-20U.

(Thank u guys for any help provided here.)

I can't really tell you much about how to fix it, but it's a known error in safehax that occurs on some 9.x firmwares.

Theoretically, you could use an older version of safehax or even Decrypt 9 in 3dsx form, but I would recommend you get advice on this from someone more knowledgeable. Maybe try asking in the Q&A thread on https://reddit.com/r/3dshacks.

Is there enough free space on the SD Card?

Are you running an arm11 kernel expoit, like UDSploit, before selecting safehax?

Yes, sometimes i got that mentioned error, sometimes i got just a blackscreen when i open safehax just after UDSploit.

Same result if using fasthax.

Make sure you arent booting luma. You cant use Safehax while you are in Luma3DS CFW

I was using the same menuhax entry point that i used to boot luma, i haven't figured out it could be my error... Just booted to sysnand and
used browserhax to load hbl, now working fine :D

Thank u a lot!
