Yes it has, originally you had to do the downgrading to 2.1 on the n3DS by manual hex editing as well as manually installing a9lh. When I did it things had progress to where you used sysupdater to downgrade your emunand to 2.1 and then otphelper would verify the downgrade worked properly before flashing it to sysnand. Now it uses the ctrnand transfer to downgrade making it even easier.
And yes, if he had a sysnand backup then he could have fixed it easily. So use hourglass9 to backup your sysnand regularly and keep both the latest backup and the one before that in multiple places (your computer, gdrive, dropbox, etc) and remember, backups are system specific so if you have more than one 3DS you need to safely store backups from each one.
Noobs won't mess up their SysNAND with GodMode9 because they scare about every warning they have seen before the final confirmation of modifying SysNAND.
But they don't scare of using FBI to mess up SysNAND because they never see anything which can prevent them (censored)

I waited to install A9LH until there was a python script to handle the hex editing.
In case anyone is still on the fence about A9LH, the install process nowadays is so fucking smooth, just do it. Bricking your console takes an extraordinary effort of stupidity if you have a NAND backup. It's easier to brick a non-A9LH system with these levels of stupidity, honestly, just don't mess with files on your NAND unless you know what the heck you are doing.
Well to be fair, in the source he did say he didn't make a backup. Plus he went in to edit something in FBI when we only use it to install games, even though godmode9 is much more adapted/suited to the task.
Not to be a dick, but this sounds like complete human error, cause it won't just strait up delete something without confirmation or some type of user input to initiate it.
That guy is full of it

You are doing nothing other than scaring people from modifying their 3DS. The person who did this was a complete idiot and didn't follow directions at all.
Agreed. I'm a 3ds noob and was able to not only install a9lh on a 9.9 without much of a problem, but also transfer it to another 3ds on 11.2 following the guide and help on this forum.
Granted, I knew that was my plan so set up the nnid I wanted on the second 3ds on the first one so no need to transfer back or anything.

Noobs have no reason to use GodMode9 or touch sysnand unless they want to invite trouble
I can't even begin to try to understand why the person would even go to CTRNAND and delete files. JUST WHY?!. What was his thought process? Is it: "I don't know what this is and it's taking so much space (like 1mb), better delete it, I'm sure it's safe!" .. That's like going to your System folder in Windows and deleting everything because it's taking space and expecting that nothing will happen. Well, in Windows it wouldn't let you, in FBI it does but that's besides the point .. Tbh he deserves to get bricked, no flame.
Im surprised nobody here has asked:
What he was thinking of while doing this? What exactly he wanted to do? ._.

There's no logical explanation, that's why you don't see anyone speculating about it. The person just didn't know what he/she was doing and thought it was safe.
If he used the guide, why the hell doesn't he have a NAND backup? (or a chinese translation of it, idk.)
this basically sums up this whole thread imo. And As @Crystal the Glaceon said, this sounds like a "them" problem, not ours.
Let this serve as a warning to noobs: when a9lh-ing a console,
1) always have a backup
2)Dont poke your nose where it dosent belong and then have the audacity to delete something

Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
