I'm at my wits end. I've been trying this for hours giving up after about 60 attempts in the old sysupdater.I finally used the newest sysupdater but now I'm getting error 0xD900182F, using 9.8 Menuhax MH4U n3DS XL. I've verified the files are all the same, downloaded two different 9.2.0U downloads, and doublechecked everything thouroughly. No idea what's going wrong and Its frustrating as heck.

I'm done. I've tried everything. Even if I get the damn cias to install, it just ends up as a soft brick. With or without sd card.

I just don't know what to do.

on my non-xl i updated to 10.3 first and then performed the downgrade.. if that helps any.
the reasoning I gave myself is that there isn't an exploit for 9.8 and there is one now for 10.3, so what's the harm

Successfully downgrade my 10.3 N3DS to 9.2, I've installed both Ninjhax and Themehax, BUT 3DS apps are tremendously slow to load on the homescreen. Opening apps is instead really fast, since my micro-sd is a 32GB samsung class 10.
Ah, I almost forgot: Ironfall doesn't even start: it stuck at 3DS loading screen.
I think I'll format my micro-sd...

Downgrading from 9.9.0-26 to 9.2.0, console is US. menuhax installed, and copied new sysupdate to sdcard. Copied all files from 9.2.0-20U-N3DS.ttp file to updates directory on root of SD. updates were installing successfully, about 4-6 installed, then said error occured and push home button. Powered off unit, Powering it back in only the blue LED comes on, tried recovery mode, removing SD, etc. Screens backlighting isn't even coming on, no sound, etc. is my unit bricked? Help please! Just got my 3ds a week ago, and it's a hyrule edition XL.

I'm having the same issue. If I fiddle with trying to power down enough I get the that screen with "about sleep mode" but if I press the home button my backlight and wifi light come on, but nothing displays.

My lower and upper backlighting aren't coming on, just the blue LED comes on when I push the power button. Is there any way I can force it to update to 10.3 using the microsd, or is it bricked?

Also I have a SKY3DS cartridge, and an O3DS running 10.3. How can I determine if my 3ds is hardbricked? I'm worried that it might be :(

AFAIK it's bricked. Unfortunately there's no way I know of to update it without recovery mode. If I turn it on and don't do anything else then I have no backlight and just the blue power light. From the PSA it sounds like the issue is Sysupdater uninstalls all of the cias before installing the lower ones so it might not have anything to run.

Remove the battery, and hold down power button? Has this ever resolved a 3ds with the same issue?

Shit...how can I unbrick it? I don't have a nand backup unfortunately. Are there any solder points on the mainboard?

I have n3DS XL ( Majora Mask Edition ) with 10.3.0.28E.
I try to downgrade with Ironhax or Menuhax but does freeze at 5 or 7 step (Restoring SlabHeap backup... or Clean memory and release koject... ).
Any solution for this problem ?
Thanks in advance.

Just tried it and no luck. Didn't think it would work but I figured I'd give it a shot. From

I'm pretty clueless about hardmods. My only NAND backups are for a different console. One of the biggest bummers for me is that my NNID is on the New 3DS.

Try opening FTP-3DS and force close it with L+R+X+Y+down and then reopen sysupdater.

    @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.

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."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @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 @ 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

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
