Did you guys of the story of the pirate who sinks his own boat ? You've just read it OP.

Pip'

You really like that story about the sinking ship don't you.

OP, please tell me you took a backup of your nand before attempting the downgrade. If not, bye bye N3DS. 1st rule of thumb when it comes down to running modified software. Always, ALWAYS find a way to back your original nand. It will save your from a great fall. Plus a sinking ship.

OP already said they didn't get one. Pretty open and shut case unfortunately

You can't get a backup of the NAND before the downgrade without a hardmod. You just gotta check and double check and triple check that you are doing the right thing before pulling the trigger on something as dangerous as downgrading without a safety net.

Yes, well, if he was going to use SafeSysUpdater to run a check of the cias, I imagine he would have also been more careful about downloading the right pack
no to use as the downgrader, it properly sorts and installs the cias in the correct order for downgrades

Cmon now guys leave the guy alone, might be some kind of fix one day, at least pretty much any 3ds you buy right now can be hacked, might be a fix one day.
there is no fix for a hard bricked 3ds without a nand backup and a hardmod. Softbrick yes, he'd just need to boot to recovery mode.

Yeah, that's what I meant with "check the cias". You can't use it to downgrade from 10.4-7 as far as I know anyway.
you can

Oh, okay! When I downgraded, I used this guide:

http://gbatemp.net/threads/noob-fri...g-your-3ds-from-10-4-10-5-10-6-to-9-2.418125/

It says to use SafeSysUpdater to check the cias and SysUpdater to do the actual downgrade. It in fact explicitly says don't uses SafeSysUpdater to downgrade.

    Hello
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    @SylverReZ find me ONE community that is free of drama and politics. even video games forums (like this one) have politics section. and for some reason gamers still take consoles/brands wars seriously. even as a kid i never took the console wars bait despite being a nintendo kid.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    one of the reasons i deleted all my social media accounts, reddit account (although i was rarely using it) etc was to get away from this shit.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Vetusomaru, Sadly, not all communities like to play nice. Forums are pretty much dying despite Discord amongst other social media being available.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i only kept my twitter accounts and only because many of the artists i like share their art only/mostly at twitter.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    lots of discord groups (even the big ones) are also dead for some reason.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Twitter is way too shittier.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    that's why i added some firefox addons to block shit like twitter trends.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
