Homebrew Ive Downgraded,But Have A Problem...

[ChokingVictim87]

Im confused with how to do this part:

• Now your NANDs are unlinked and inside the \Nintendo 3DS folder on your microSD should now be two folders with letters and numbers. This is the proof that your NANDs are unlinked.
• Find the folder that does not have the \dbs folder inside (this is the folder for your SysNAND as you just formatted it), and repeat the steps with import.db and title.db as described above.
  • The other folder should already have the \dbs folder, because you restored your backup to the microSD already.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Not necessary, but highly recommended.

Can you help me dude,Im really confused! I have done up to the factory reset thing it mentioned but the above isn't making any senses at all! Im worried I messed up

IF Im understanding it right,I already have those files mentioned so I need to do all this again,correct?

• Find FBI.cia in your FBI package and copy it to your microSD.
  • I like to keep them in a folder called \cia, but it really doesn't matter where you put .cia files, you can browse for them later.
• Put the microSD back in your N3DS and start it.
• If you set up a fresh microSD, you need to rebuild the database now. Go to System Settings, Data Management, Nintendo 3DS, Software. It will show a warning that the database files are corrupt and need to be rebuilt. Do this and exit System settings.
  • Without this, FBI will give you an invalid database error and you will not be able to install .cia files. You will need to do this again for SysNAND after unlinking, so keep this in mind.
• Now you need to start HBL. Set up a working internet connection (don't worry, it won't update) and deactivate it using the little wrench icon on the top left of your touch screen. Then press L+R to bring up the camera, click the little checkerboard icon in the lower left and scan the QR Code you can find here. This will show an url, accept it and your browser will open. While the browser loads, press Home button, go to the little wrench icon again and activate your Internet connection. Then open the browser. Now the browserhax exploit will load and open up Homebrew Launcher.
  • This can take some tries, for me it works in about 9 out of 10 cases. If you get a red screen, just shut down your N3DS and try again.
• You will be in Homebrew Launcher now. Scroll down to PastaCFW and start it. This will bring up your home menu again, but with Pasta patches applied, meaning you can install unsigned .cia files now.
• Repeat the steps to get into Homebrew Launcher, open FBI and install the .cia of FBI. If you click your L Button now, you can change the install destination. For software like this, destination needs to be SD. Now FBI is installed in your SysNAND.
  • This is necessary so that it gets copied over to EmuNAND in the following step. If for any reason you don't have FBI in your EmuNAND at the end, look at the Beginner's Advice at the end of the tutorial for a solution.
  • This is a N3DS tutorial, but I'll include it as it comes up again and again: If you happen to be on O3DS it's possible that you have crashes when entering the HBL a second time after Pasta was started. See this posting for a solution.

If you have the dbs folder with the two .db files in it, you don't need to do anything. If you don't, make a dbs folder with a blank import.db and title.db. This goes for both the SD:\Nintendo 3DS\xxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxx folders.

Yeah I have that folder with those files in.So what do I do now? I did that reset thing where there is now nothing on my system and Im worried Ive lost everything now

Im beginning to panic now as I did the NAND thing and then I followed the advice that said to do a system rest of my 3DS. I did that and I had to set up everything as if from scratch ad I had just bought it!!

Yes, that's what a format does. Do you have emuNAND set up? If so your data is probably on your emuNAND.
Otherwise, did you make a NAND backup beforehand?

I followed the guide to the letter.I created a Nand backup and then reloaded everything. However,the next part of the guide I was using said to do a hard reset (which resulted in having to set up the 3DS as if from scratch)
and its said this

• Now your NANDs are unlinked and inside the \Nintendo 3DS folder on your microSD should now be two folders with letters and numbers. This is the proof that your NANDs are unlinked.
• Find the folder that does not have the \dbs folder inside (this is the folder for your SysNAND as you just formatted it), and repeat the steps with import.db and title.db as described above.
  • The other folder should already have the \dbs folder, because you restored your backup to the microSD already

So where is all my account and stuff,and how do I get it back?! I dont know if I have messed up or what.The guide was pretty simple up until that part...
