Hacking How to update N3DSXL emuNAND from 9.0 to 9.5?

[Lockerzpoints2]

Okay the puzzles and dragons trick didn't work AND it updated my main system to 9.5. Is there a way I can go back? I have my emuNAND saved.

This is why I linked my tutorial do you have a Sysnand backup? Also what firmware was the Emunand backup if you don't have your Sysnand backup.

Yeah I should have done that instead of the easier method.. I think I only have my emuNAND backed up. Not a sysnand backup.

Come on guy that's the first thing any tutorial for CFW tells you to do backup backup backup. Your only option is to get a hard mod done from @hundshamer and pray that your Emunand backup is valid, flashable, and from when you were on 9.0.

if you didnt back up your nand you are screwed sadly.

 

[Lockerzpoints2]

Bleh. Yeah I screwed myself on this one. Should have went for the tutorial method instead of the Puzzles and Dragons thing.

His Emunand might be flashable since it should be a one to one backup of his sysnand if he did nothing to it. @hundshamer can he flash his Emunand to his sysnand if it is a 9.0 backup and is there any way to tell?

 

[Lockerzpoints2]

Yeah I did nothing to my emunand. I just backed that up today and my N3DS XL has been a paperweight since I have my O3DSXL that can actually play the newer games from my gateway.

lets hope his emunand is flashable then.

Can I just ask, what did you actually do that resulted in your sysNAND getting updated? Did you boot Gateway while holding up? Are your NANDs linked? Just wondering as it would be good for future reference (maybe updating with a game cartridge on linked NANDs causes sysNAND to update too).

No reason to go to 9.5. 9.4 and 9.5 are functionally the same. Use 9.4 update from Xenoblade.

I booted Gateway while holding up but through the Nintendo DS Profile method. I held up as soon as I selected it. That being said, I don't even think it updated my actual emuNAND since my system nand got updated.

He already updated his Sysnand and it make no sense to not go the highest firmware you can.

If your emunand was at 9.0 that is fine. emunand and sysnand are the same thing and can be cross flashed. Do a hardware mod and flash back to your 9.0 emunand on your sysnand and you will be fine.

Yes it does. Purely for this reason. Too easy to mess up now he's beyond exploitable firmware and needs to do stuff to downgrade it again. There is zero difference and it's much easier just to boot a game with a 9.4 update and do it that way.

Could you link me to how I could do that? I'll do that right away.

You boot into gateway menu by holding L trigger and then hold UP while you select gateway boot.

Wouldn't that not work since my sysNAND is at 9.5 therefore meaning I can't boot gateway?

and 9.4 is exploitable? he would have messed up either way.

Before you updated your sysnand when updating with a rom.

Get in contact with @hundshamer and find out how much it costs or do the hard mod yourself if you have good soldering skills.
