    do u have the firmware.bin on ur sd card? sounds like something is going wrong with the redNAND not downgrading due to being on 11.0.0-33. I was on 9.2.0 when downgrading the redNAND. that's my guess anyway.

    i think it has something to do with like Firmware Protection.
    When i was downgrading to 2.1 months ago the last file (which has NFIRM something) got an error because my reinand has a firmware protection feature.

    the firmware bin allows u to downgrade 11.0.0-33, so that may be ur issue. u upgraded ur redNAND before it was needed. that's my guess.

    im sorry for the double post haha

    did you follow the settings when holding the select button for luma3ds?

    btw when u downgrade to 2.1 is your process running smoothly until for around 10 minutes something like nfirm error appeared?

    I was getting the same issue on the last 3DS I did. It was a New 3DS, and I was trying to downgrade it to 2.1.0. I was running Luma 5.2 on it, and every time I tried to downgrade it would only fail on the NFIRM part. I upgraded my Luma to the very latest version and I put the firmware bin in the proper location like suggested here. After that it worked on its first try

    its definitely the firmware protection.
    did you use tiny format after making the rednand?

    It seems like the guide or Luma doesn't use it anymore? I can possibly send you mine if you'd like and see how that goes?

    If I remember the firmware.bin was simply a file you would download and throw in root/luma. I don't think it's console specific

    (If anyone else says otherwise please let me know, I'm going off of memory here from a 2 month old setup)

    I did some googling and I really haven't found an answer, however it's worth a shot. My bin file won't work because it's a N3DS file, but I found a download for what I believe has the file you need

    https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/FAQ-and-Troubleshooting

    This link is from a FAQ and Troubleshooting page on the Luma Github. Download the NTR FIRMs, take the O3DS file, make sure it's called "firmware.bin" and stick it in the Luma folder on your root and we'll see what happens
