Homebrew Need help fixing n3DS XL (Possible soft brick?)

[Adam Lashley]

Tried downgrading to 9.2 via safesysupdater, all was going well until halfway through, when it failed.

Now I can get on normally, just settings, internet and eshop wont load, just shows nintendo 3ds logo and when I try to download update via recovery mode it just waits a while and fails.

Has anyone got a solution? I'd be very grateful, thanks.

Hold L+R+A+UP When pressing the power button on your 3DS and dont let go of those buttons (let go off power button ofc) until the recovery menu comes up the select system update and try downgrading again.

Do you have any exploitable games?

Somehow its updating through my home wifi finally!

Don't think I'll try downgrading again, I have bad luck.

Honestly if you really want a good 3ds keep trying. What you can get is amazing.

EmuNand will stop the possibility of bricking if you setup a coldboot. It's a good thing.

so, if i can get through downgrading without it fucking up, I'm safe as long as I follow a guide like this to the letter?
