Download an OLD 9.2 pack of the same region and add these two files to your n3DS pack: (don't worry, they're exactly the same for both old and new 3DS)

0004013000001A02.CIA
0004013000001B02.CIA

Didn't work, it's still a brick.

That guide I linked has links to the upgrade files, those are the ones I used on several N3DS

It's already what I'm using. Maybe I can downgrade to 9.0 instead of 9.2...

Welp time to get a new new 3DS. at least my GameStop knows me and said I just have to pop in by Thursday to get a new one. Was doing everything right till I was slapped and it was a success install from 10.6. went black screen with just a blue light and put in on multiple times but it failed so one question if I get a new new 3DS XL and not update it will I be able to have my NNID on it once I call Nintendo and tell them I sold my 3DS or will I have to update and get my NNID back then wait for a proper downgrade or do this one for 10.6. Just need to know this info so I can make sure I don't fuck up again.

You might be able to recover from that, what step were you on?

Format your n3DS and try again. This fixes it for some people.

Wow ! Thanks a lot I finally managed to get that downgrade done !
Tough it's bad that I don't know what was causing the process to fail before the reset, at least if anyone's into the same troubles as I did now they know formatting the 3DS solves the issue :yayu:

PS: didn't get any error message this time so I guess it's not a partial... any way I can be 100% sure ?

How long should I hold onto the buttons for. I do for a few minutes and nothing

Make sure you press the buttons before pressing the power button, and keep them pressed 2-3 secs (until the screen backlights switch on).

(but do as armoredgun said first)

Power it on without the micro SD card.

I did still nothing after holding onto them for a minute

You need to hold those while booting the system.

Did it an failed after holding onto for a minute after removing the sd card and putting the power on after holding onto all the buttons you need to

You're probably doing it wrong, I found it hard the first couples of times I had to do that combo too. I personnaly put my index on L & R buttons and my thumbs on Up & A, then I keep all those pressed and power the 3DS on with my little finger.

EDIT: why isn't NATIVE_FIRM hte last thing to update ? Are you using the correct build ?
