Managed to update my Blue 9.2.0-0E 3DS.
Borrowed a Sky3DS, writed Cubic Ninja and installed Ninjhax2.1.
In Homebrew Launcher I opened PastaCFW, Ninjhax again, and then FBI, but no matter what it stuck with a white screen.
After a good hour of smashing my head against a wall, I installed themehax to return the Sky3DS (I had it only for a limited ammount of time..), downloaded Decrypt9WIP, extracted NAND+XorPad, injected FBI in H&S app and restored modified NAND.
FBI was finally launching, however it took another 2 hours to figure out I was missing the 2 f@*#ing title.db & import.db files in the dbs folder to finally install sysupdater & update to 9.2.0-20E.

Hello versehell ! I followed the indication you gave me yesterday, but as the 9.2 eur firmware is currently unavailable on "that iso site", I tried with the 9.0.

I put all the .cia files from the pack in "updates" directory, launched rxtools 2.5.2, and finally clicked on devmode. It brought me back to home menu (wich is normal I guess), and then I launched sysupdater.. Had to press A to launch the procedure, and it begin... After some times, it prompts a "fail", and says that he can't find files in "/updates".. Idea where the problem is? :(
thanks you!

Yep, but something went wrong...
Now, I still have access to the home menu, but not the parameters... Sys updater is still on sysnand, but I can't launch it (says I have to redownload it..).
After plugging my SD card on my computer, I can't touch anything (when I delete something, it reapears after a while).
Since I can't access the parameter to set a new wifi, I can't launch the launcher.dat to use my backuped nand.bin...

I'm gonna try my sd card on an other computer, but I guess it may be corrupted... Do you think if I use a other sd card, with a launcher.dat (on the same wifi network (which I will be near only in two weeks..)) it may saves my 3DS ?

Thanks for your efforts and help. :)

Same situation as you. Bought a used day-one o3ds which has only been upgraded once through a Pokemon Y cartridge. So now i'm on 6.1.0-0E (without a browser)

I own a Cubic Ninja retail cart. What is the plan here? I read after hours of lurking here and there that Ninjhax 2 works without a browser. To use that i need to upgrade to 9.2.0-0E via cart, Right? But then? It seems that even Ninjhax 2 doesn't support the -0 firmware (as there's no possiblity to select it on the site to make the qr pop-up)

How did you manage to do the Ninjhax on 9.2.0-0E? Once i did that i could have the possiblity to install the themehax and return the cartridge to the owner. With all the time in my hands then...

Either find a game which contains the 9.2 update, or buy a ds flashcart.

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
