Hacking New 3ds using 9.9

[natalic]

if my console is firm 9.9, is true that is better first upgrade to 10.3 and then downgrade to 9.2? I hear that are more softbricks reported in 9.9 downgrade.

I can a-test a bit to this, but is there even a game that updates to 10.3?

im trying to update to 10.3 myself but when i try to use safesysupdater to just verify the md5s it fails on first 1.

So after my 9.9 was bricked I decided to buy a new 3ds that came with 10.3u.
I told myself that this time I would install menuhax so that I do not have to deal with another partial brick.
After installing menuhax and using the L bumper to boot into homebrew, I proceeded with the 9.2 downgrade but mid way the n3ds crashed and once it rebooted I got the same partial brick as before!
So I tried booting into menuhax but it does not work!
So when I go into settings or browser it just endlessly waits at the loading screen. I inserted my Zelda Ocarina of time and the game loads.
Not sure how to proceed now, clearly the firmware did not downgrade all the way and I have no idea what to try next.

Buy powersaves and inject hacked saves and boot in to homebrew to downgrade the other titles, as you you have a franken-firmware.
EDIT: Here is a place you could buy them (it is fairly cheap): http://www.amazon.com/Action-Replay-PowerSaves-Pro-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B00IVJ1M7M

A harmod would be your best option if you want to eliminate the risk factor and it won't cost more than 30 bucks.

Cost Me 35 since i had no supplies yet

I ordered it thanks. I should receive it on Tuesday, any guide you recommend that I follow?

Any help is deeply appreciated.
Thank you.

I just got it. I am going to google around for some guides but if anybody has something good please tell me.

I managed to use OoT to boot into homebrew and used safesysupdater to flash. Once again I got Frankenfirmware even though the files checked as OK.
Anything I can do to fix the firmware or just try again until it works?

Once you verify that the 9.2 update files are not corrupted and matches your 3ds' region in safesysupdater, I suggest using sysupdater instead to downgrade. It has far less chance of rebooting midway.

Odd after my last flash attempt the OoT exploit does not work.
I launch into the game with the special save load it and it tries to boot the Homebrew menu but instead it crashes right after the "home menu hopbin" message.
It takes me straight to the OS desktop and sometimes it even crashes completely and I get the nintendo "an error has occured" message.
