Keep trying, it took about the 4th or 5th restart for sysupdater to boot properly. If you have Cubic Ninja then yeah, a much better option.

So i tried downgrading from N3DS 10.7.0.32E 6 Times now even on different SD'cards everytime the downgrade suceeds and after the reboot i get a system error telling me to reboot and forcing me to Factory Reset to 10.7 again.

Any ideas ?

I use oot3dhax

Nope, your a sitting duck at this point. I'm going to start looking into this for a solution since it seems to be a common problem

That would be very nice. It was hard to get homebrew running since i used Smashhax first to install OOt3dhax would be awesome to be able to go on.

EDIT: Also tought of trying to go down lower on the 10.x version if that might help since i'm on 10.7

Could you help me btw? I honestly can't produce this problem myself


Sure i can help out on that. What i basicly do is using OOT3D digital to access homebrew and then use safesysupdater/sysupdater (tried both) to downgrade from 10.7 to 9.2 on my New 3DS Europe. The installation of all .cia's goes through and after the reboot i get the system failure error. Afte that i am pressing L +R + up + A to force an Update back to 10.7.

I used sysupdater to downgrade from 10.3 after safesysupdater said everything was good, during the downgrade it gave me a black screen saying an error has occured. After this, I booted up again and everything works fine, and the system settings say '9.2.0-20E' so I guess it did downgrade. However, I get the following errors when I check the downgrade:


What do I do at this point? Simply run sysupdater again?

Predownloaded update data, and most of the time it's just the instability of the downgrade process
Hm, I can not seem to get sysupdater to launch again. If I launch it via the hbl launcher, I get a red screen and then it stays at black.
I only put the .3dsx into the folder like the guide said. Is there something else I need to do? Or am I screwed now?

Hax is unstable keep trying, if you have ftpd launch that then back out by holding l+r+Ddown+b then launch sysupdater. Or you could just using ssu I have better success rates with that

Just to make sure, I do not have to update to 10.7 first and then downgrade again? I can just run sysupdater from 9.2?
