FALSE ALARM, SD CARD ISSUE.

I got a n3ds on 9.4, used OOThax to enter HBL to downgrade.

After the downgrade process started, I got the error message and I thought it was a partial downgrade yet again.

However, now it boots to black screen and upon long press power button, I am able to get to the power menu prompt. When I press home, it only shows the "home menu" screen and doesn't do anything.

Am I bricked?

UPDATE: Seems its an sd card, issue. It boots on removal of sd card. I have since removed the card, formatted it. Its possible that menuhax was the problem since I installed menuhax as well.

UPDATE2: Yeap, partial downgrade again. 2nd n3ds to have partial downgrade. Perhaps this could be added into the guide? @Plailect that partial downgrades are common, at least for n3ds and to not worry and rerun downgrade?

 

I think it was recommended to use menuhax for downgrades anyhow

 

menuhax has been a lot more stable for this guide in my experience, maybe you were just lucky?

also @Timburpton it does say in the guide this can happen, i guess it could be more clear and say it is LIKELY to happen, but... either way. It does mention it.

 

16. If you get an error in the middle of installation, follow the instructions in the beginning for partial downgrades

>If PlaiSysUpdater crashes at any point during the downgrade (which can happen occasionally), you can power off the system by holding the power button. You will be left with what's called a "partial downgrade" or "partial", which is recoverable.

Although a partially downgraded system may show 9.2.0 as the system version, you are not done. You must restart from the beginning and downgrade a second time to install any files that were not installed. Browserhax will work for partial downgrades as long as you are using the recommended version of PlaiSysUpdater.
