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.

Is there any way to flash the 10.3 firmware with the SKY3DS? I'm kind of panicking, as I can't afford to fix my new 3ds I shouldn't have tried this, but it seemed relatively safe.

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

if you don't have a NAND backup, you're SOL.
the best you can try is getting it into recovery mode http://3dbrew.org/wiki/Recovery_Mode
if that doesn't work, time to buy a new 3DS and post in this thread http://gbatemp.net/threads/wip-list-of-known-bricks-due-to-an-attempt-to-downgrade-to-9-2.407920/

New3ds XL Happy Home Designer edition downgraded to 9.2e from 10.3e (came 10.3e out of the box)

interesting thing i downloaded the 9.0e cias from THAT site and when the install was finished it said 9.2e

Shit, so there's nothing I can do? Tried booting into recovery mode, just the blue LED comes on. So my new zelda 3ds is SOL? shit By the way tried the power button with battery pulled. I followed the directions, why would it hardbrick?

yep, unfortunately that's a brick. i have an o3ds xl like that from some things I tried a while back that i'm waiting to recover (whenever that recovery procedure is found... been waiting a year)

you need to install cubic ninja legit cia so you can use ninjhax1 ....

There's no such thing as a legit CN cia. You'd need to boot into sig-check patched sysNAND (eg. using Mini Pasta) via the HBL before you could even launch CN. So why not boot directly into emuNAND from the HBL the first time you opened it? May I ask why you want to use Ninjhax1.1 in the first place?

Ah, I almost forgot: Ironfall doesn't even start: it stuck at 3DS loading screen.

This is perfectly normal. Ironfall won't launch on anything below 9.4

Okay. So..

Tried it twice.

First time? Hung at Checking the CIA files. Hard reset. Semi-brick. Recovery mode fixed it.

Second time? Downgrade started, then errored out. Permanent brick. No recovery mode, nothing.

Seriously, I would recommend waiting for a sure fire way. Yeah, you have a chance at it being successful, but do you really want to risk it?

thanks for posting your experiences! so you are really hard-bricked?

 

[RedBlueGreen]

I'm getting a lot of random flashes on my touch screen. Anybody know why that might be?

Would I need a nand dump from a "donor" n3ds to fix mine, or did I just ruin my zelda n3ds that is worth $280+ right now. FML

Aren't NAND backups console specific?

Gonna cry myself to sleep, fuck

 

[naddel81]

isn't it possible to get a nandbackup before trying to downgrade?

I don't think so without a hardmod. I have Gateway NAND backups but those are from my O3DS. I could be wrong though.

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

FTP-3DS is ftBRONy ?
I try to first start ftBrony and then sysupdater but nothing change.....

I'm going to give this a shot on my N3DSXL, just updated to 10.3 because it seems like people are having the most luck on that. Bought it yesterday from a place that has a pretty liberal return policy (I returned a bricked Wii U a while ago without the receipt). They just handed me a new one and sent me on my way.

You got guts trying this on your first day. Welcome to GBAtemp!

Any way to fix it with hard mod?

 

[N64]

Any way to fix it with hard mod?

Not without a previous nand backup. It's console specific

Any way to fix it with hard mod?

did you try safe mode
hold L+R+UP+A ...BEFORE and AFTER you press the power button
i had to keep it for cca 15sec afer the blue light to boot in safe mode

 

[landis21]

I know in hardmod they still require a NAND backup for restore.. i hope im wrong...

Is safe mode different on the New 3DS? I can do it with the 2 O3DSes at my place but not with my New 3DS
