Hacking How to update my downgraded 3DS

[PaperTwinkies]

A while ago I decided to downgrade my Old 3DS XL and I regret it, I believe it is on version 3.1 as it has the early UI. I can't get the rosalina menu to open no matter what I try and I cant get any custom apps on the menu. I can't open the settings app, it just goes to a black screen and never loads. If i try to use safe mode, it says SAFE_MODE is not supported on 1.x/2.x firms.

Did you by chance make a nand backup before downgrading?

Would using one of the physical game carts that's got a FW update baked in help? Mario Kart 7, for example?

Why would you do that?

Something similar happened to me in 2021, I had made downgrade to my Old 3ds xl but in doing so many applications were corrupted and the sd slot, wifi and at that time I could do almost nothing with my 3ds but use it to play ds games with a r4 card.

Then I came up with the worst idea which was to update my 3ds, at that time I did not investigate much of what could happen to do so, and thought that the console would simply be updated and everything would return to normal (obviously never happened) and my console still had the luma in the nand, I could access godmode9 but as the sd slot was corrupted I could not put the script to solve the brick and now I still have the 3ds with nothing to do.

That's why YOU NEED A NAND BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING RISKY.

at that time I didn't know much about it (I should have done more research on the subject ;_ and also I was taking too much risk doing things like that without having much information, now that I know how things work much better I would never do anything like that again.
