Homebrew HELP!!!! I BRICKED MY 3DS!!!!!

[Deleted User]

I'm using an Old 3ds, FW 9.2.
I attempted to downgrade to 2.1 for my otp file. I did backup my nand before I did that. What do I do?

EDIT: Partial downgrade, works without my sd card in it.

 

[VinsCool]

Just curious, did you try to boot the console without the SD card inserted?

1. great title, im sure it will catch peoples attention........

2. did you try recovery mode, turning on without sd card, etc.?

 

[Wolfy]

You will need to hardmod your 3DS to do anything with it at this point.

Just tried, it worked. But it was partial. It only installed half of the .cias.

start the downgrade again, it will finish downgrading the rest of the stuff

Resume it then

Will ninjhax still work on FW 2.1? I'm restoring my nand

as long as you change it to 2.1 insteade of 9.2 then yes, it should still work (like rescan the qr code for 2.1) however, it may be only the older versions (1.1) that work
this means differnt files and such.

Did you try downgrading with your sysnand? You're supposed to downgrade your emunand, then restore that emunand to sysnand if everything went well. Follow directions.

When i downgraded to 2.1 I also got a black screen. I just removed the sd cars and it worked. Once on i just reinserted the Sd card in and continued the process without the need to downgrading again.

 

[pbanj]

wait s second you downgraded to 2.1 right on the nand?

i know it can be done on the o3ds its just not recommended

 

[4gionz]

I always do like this on o3ds lol its just faster and I know my files are good. Anyways have you tried simply dumping otp and seeing it works? Getting a black screen with Sd inserted always happens to me when downgrading directly from sysnand just reinsert it while powered on with otphelper on sd and try at least

Thanks for your replies. I took the SD card out, went to the Internet browser, popped my card back in, and used the gateway menu to restore my sysnand. I'm not gonna try to downgrade again. Fuck that shit.

Not to sound like a douche but you really gotta try again, you have a partial Downgrade which means certain things won't work now, who knows what but half your system is 2.1 half is 9.2, whatever you do don't update

Just downgrade your emunand first, like https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki tells you to. That way if the downgrader fails its not a big deal.

What guide did you use

Oh yeah, don't Downgrade sysnand, only do emunand

After they bricked people's 3ds's I wouldn't trust them with shit.
