Homebrew How to install legit CIA files 9.3-10.3

[WaffleWafer]

I'm not sure I do, I do not want to have a nice Brick.

It's a race of time. Downgrading on O3DS will have an approximately 20-15% chance of softbricks. And when you do have a softbrick, the only way you can recover is to update the system to the latest version which is 10.3 and try again. Problem is, there are rumors that 10.4 will be live on the update servers next week. Meaning that if you wait for nextweek and somehow decided to use sysupdater and got a softbrick, your chances of getting a downgrade is zero.

You might say, "oh well I might as well wait for KTM right?" Not exactly. I wouldn't trust JustPingo and company. As far as I know, no one has ever tried his KTM beta. "Pingo also said that it's exactly the same as sysupdater, except it does hash checks on the files first."-reddit user. If you're careful, you can check your own files to use on sysupdater.

Take note: O3DS are much more safer than N3DS. So If I were you, I'd bite the bullet. KTM just ensures you have the right files, which helps if for a reason you're not following guides correctly or blind since birth.

I don't understand why, if it's inly a GUI interface being added and hash checking, that it is taking extra time? No new exploit is being coded or anything.

Inb4 KTM = vaporware

KTM is basically for the noob friendly. (and to some extent, for the lazy fks who don't double check their update files.)
It is not remotely safer, and still has a chance of bricking. There are no new exploit changes.

Hmm. So is there no real safe way to downgrade a N3DS?

Depends on what you mean with "safe". It's a safe as it can be right now .

Just downgraded after several tries to use this FBI installer and downgrading with several methods (menuHax worked then).

There are no safe downgrader. All of them carries risk. Like I said, it's race against time. You either softbrick your o3ds now and update to 10.3 and try again or wait next week for ktm and when it softbricks, you're already at 10.4. There is no better time to downgrade. Do it now.

A question about downgrading, if i do the downgrade what will happen to legit cias i installed and the few game i legally bought?, do i have to install them again?

As for my case, it was still on my sd card together with their respective saves. I have 5 originally bought games and they are still playable. The legit CIAs were there as well.

I found another method only erase everything on your browser after you close launch homebrew and then open the fbi
now always I enter

No good, got stuck on overwrite complete.

I cleared cookies and save data and booted HBL using cubic ninja (since you didn't mention restarting the console)

Edit: I restarted to try it again, and it acted like I've never used the browser before (asking me to choose search engine etc) weird! Maybe that's something that's saved and I deleted it.

Second time I took CN out before starting FBI but stopped on same thing.

hello guys, i recently installed pokemon omega ruby legit cia, is it safe to update the game from eshop?

 

[Xenosaiga]

hello guys, i recently installed pokemon omega ruby legit cia can, is it to update since the my 3ds gave me an option to update it .

Don't update the system. But if you want, load up the eshop and download the game update so that you can play it online.

 

[jacob1118]

Don't update the system. But if you want, load up the eshop and download the game update so that you can play it online.

Thank you! I thought it will be detected by eshop

Well for me, before I downgraded, I got this to work and also installed Omega Ruby.

I then loaded up eshop and found omega ruby and scrolled to the bottom and initiated a repair process.

It scanned the file and then re downloaded it over wifi. I then downloaded the update for the game.

I don't think it is absolutely required to repair it, but I figured I would just because.

I hadn't downgraded yet either. :-)

This didn't work for me :-( Do you actually have Ironfall installed? I don't, maybe that's the problem. Also, between running the game and shutting down, so you press Home to quit the game and then turn it off with the power button? Or do you press the power button during the game? I tried both of these.



Can you describe the timing a bit better? This is what I tried:
A) ejecting then mashing A as soon as I saw the blue screen
B) ejecting then mashing A near the end of the green screen (which is just before the blue)
C) not ejecting and just mashing A when I saw the blue screen
D) ejecting then mashing A near the end of the blue screen
E)Not ejecting and mashing A right when FBI is trying to start up (red screen)

I do in fact have Ironfall and Ironhax installed, though I doubt that part would make a difference.

Out of interest will you keep these legit cia games even after updating the 3DS ? As far as i understand the games should still work, right !?

yes. You should only update through emunand though and downgrade your sysnand.
