IT'S ALIVE!!!

It just booted back into 4.5! I can't thank you enough. I was just gutted earlier... My son and I connect our 2ds/3ds all the time to play. It would have been devastating to him... He did have to be very patient with his Dad this afternoon though. That was a little stressful.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

One last request, can you point me in the right direction to properly update this thing from 4.5 to 9.2? That's what got me into this mess. I thought that was what the hold up to boot gateway feature was for. It worked fine for me when gateway fist came out and i used gateway 1.x to update to 4.5.

Spoiler: Update process

How to Update your 3DS/2DS to 9.0 or 9.2

If you want to boot rxTools as soon as you turn on your 3DS, then you need to set-up Menuhax; and to use Menuhax, you need to be on 9.0 - 9.2 firmware.
Warning: This can brick your 3DS if done incorrectly! Be sure that you follow the instructions carefully!
Requirements:

• FBI installed in sysnand (Step 4a if you don't have Gateway or Ninjhax) OR any other cia installer on Sysnand
• A rxTools 3.0 nightly (preferably the one linked in Step 2)
  • Also works on rxTools 2.5.2 (for those that can't launch 3.0)

Let's get started.

1. Click HERE
2. Click the CIA Format DLC's, Themes & Updates [Archive] result
3. Click View Full Version : CIA Format DLC's, Themes & Updates at the top of the page
4. Find the thread titled [MEGA] [CIA/BIN] MSET 4.X & 6.X backups, Browser backups, Update packs (All Regions)
5. Scroll down to the section titled Updates
6. Download either the 9.2 modified update pack for your region, or a 9.0 or 9.2 Full Update Pack for you region
7. Once downloaded, open the archive and find the "updates" folder; place it on your SD card. There should be many cia files in that folder.
   • Example: SD:/updates/0004013000008003.cia
8. Download Sysupdater
9. Open the archive and put sysUpdater.cia on your SD card
10. Insert your SD card in your 3DS
11. Hold L while launching rxTools to get into the rxTools menu
12. Press DPAD RIGHT until you highlight ADVANCED OPTIONS, then press A
13. Go down to DEVMODE and press A
14. After a few seconds, you should now be in sysnand; firmware spoofing is disabled but cias can still be launched in this mode.
15. Launch FBI
16. Install sysUpdater.cia (Destination: SD)
17. Once installed, press HOME to see sysUpdater wrapped as a gift; unwrap it.
18. Launch sysUpdater
19. sysUpdater will ask you if you are sure you want to go ahead with the update; choose to accept it.
    • It will also tell you that you shouldn't be in Gateway mode, or have firmware spoofing. Do not worry about this, DEVMODE has no firmware spoofing, so sysUpdater will work as intended. Just be absolutely sure you are in DEVMODE (line 13), not RXMODE SYSNAND!
20. Wait for sysUpdater to finish. When it is done, your 3DS will reboot into 9.0 or 9.2 firmware! You can now follow the steps to use Menuhax if you'd like.

From there backup your 9.2.0-20 U Sysnand and use that as your primary restore point format everything and setup your Gateway card again.

Ok. Thanks. I don't have Cubic , but I do have OOT. I will give this a go later. I owe my son some LEGO time. We are building the Lego X-Wing.

I would normally say be very careful not to brick but I don't think you have to worry about that anymore
