Ok since this thread is full of users that has experimented with arm9loaderhax I think you could probably give me good advice. Googling I found a guide about how to dump the otp.bin file which is the first step needed to arm9l to work but also found that the majority of the guide refers about how to downgrade safely to firmware v2.1, what I infer most if not nearly all 3ds users must do. The case is that I own a "virgin" console (nothing inserted in it except the factory provided sd card when trying to install sliderhax with no results) with firmware version 2.1.0-4U and browser version , so I would like to know if I could just jump the downgrade stuff and dump the otp or do I need to upgrade and then downgrade to fill some prerequisite? Maybe I get to update anyway to install cfw and stuff but if I could save the downgrade steps it could be a less risky journey.
Well took the plunge on my N3DSXL and I'm happy to say that it went just as smoothly as my O3DSXL!Also downgraded my O3DS with no issues at all. Still have my N3DS but I'm a little bit scared to do that one since more patching is required xD

This is before installing a9lh, right? Sounds like you downgraded without being in devmode. You CANNOT downgrade (or even upgrade too far without going through system settings) while using anything that does a firmlaunch.O3ds downgrading to 2.1 straight from 9.0 said downgrade was successful I haven't had any luck turning it on, recovery mode still an option or hardmod

but remember, NO CFW CAN BOOT 2.1 SYS/EMUNANDOk great cross fingers
Was using RxTools DevMode, It worked fine on my other O3DS doing the exact same thingThis is before installing a9lh, right? Sounds like you downgraded without being in devmode.
