Hacking Is there any method to update 9.0.0 from 8.1.0?

If you were in the US (which I see you arent) you could use a copy of Super Smash bros between this specific serial AXCE152 - AXCE352 to update right to 9.2

I wonder if there was some way you could use a US cart for its update despite being from another region.

Mine is AXCEX41112, bought it on launch day. Pretty sure it updated my own 3DS to 9.2 but just checking before I use it to set up MenuHax for a friend. (he is on 6.1)

for 9.0J - 9.2J, there is absolutely none, not even eshop version.

There's eshop games with 9.1

I don't think so unless you have proven it yourself. Before you go download that from eshop, you sysnand has to be on the latest version. At least if I am the one managing eshop I would not do this redundant part by including a sysnand update on a game after your mandatory update for eshop access.

Holy shit, I currently have a friend with a 6.1 3DS too trying to find a specific cart for Super Smash Bros 3DS. So far no luck but if the serial could be higher or lower that would be time saving. The only true way to ever find out is using a 9.2 3DS and use carts to see if it asks to update or not.

Well it never did playing on SysNAND so I'm going to say yes it has 9.2 on it.
Can you update via Sky3DS? I could upload this specific cart dump to the fabled iso site.

Yes you can.
However there is NO 9.2J game on cart, so you can't update via that method.

However, I think you can inject updates into a download play partition, and update over download play with another 3ds.

I think the firmware has affected by the host 3ds firmware.

and here is the pic for poc. white host new 3ds has 10.3 and black n3ds has 9.1. black n3ds ask me to update my 3ds firmware to 10.3.

does anyone try this on other firmare to test it?

No updating from e-shop games... the system will ask you to go to System Settings.

the game is e-shop Download only game.

Yes, so e-shop download games will not work for remote system updating, only cartridge games.

Even you click OK, it still tells you to upgrade it on your own, but not transferring FW.

Well I was talking to @RemixDeluxe whose friend has a US 3DS if I am not mistaken.
