Hacking NFIRM error

found it, disable signature checks

Seems like you are going to stick with Cakes?

Anyways - to anyone who googles this in the future, feel free to PM me and I'll get you sorted out.

cake worked for me too. Something must be wrong with luma for downgrading from 11+. In all fairness I couldn't get 5.5 of luma to work but 5.2 did.

Nothing is wrong with downgrading from 11.0 emunand with LUMA. Unless you werent on current LUMA. Which you werent. Anyways I dont care if you used LUMA, CAKES, or magic fairy dust, I just want to make sure people dont get misguided.

For future posterity it wasn't luma completely. It was because of leftover Gateway firmware downgrades. Luma's FAQ has a section about black screen and some CIAs that need to be installed to fix. Even with the Cake successful downgrade I was only able to get Luma 5.3 and below to work. After much research I found the issue and now I can use 5.5 of Luma and probably could have downgraded with Luma instead of Cake.

Struggled with the NFIRM error for several days(maybe 25-30 tries), then went looking for this fix for a few hours, then downgraded with Cake. Then during the downgrade with cake I find the what you were talking about (https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Troubleshooting) and said...hey why not waste another 15 minutes of your life to restore the RedNAND and test out this hypothesis. Tt worked.

TL;DR: Use the fix in the above troubleshooting guide if you've ever used a Gateway cart. Fixes the NFIRM issue

Hello,

I'm having the same problem trying to downgrade my RedNand. I also followed the Plailect guide on github for a brand new 2DS. My RedNand is on 11.0.

I would PM you EmperorOfCanada, but I don't think I have the permissions yet.

Should I try Cake instead of Luma??

Thanks to anyone who helps out!
