Hacking rxTools won't boot emuNAND on downgraded 3DS

[Tacosaregood]

I formatted emuNAND and everything but it won't boot. Should I restart the whole process process from scratch or is there a way to fix this?

do you have the firmware.bin and the rxtools.dat file

that happened to me when i trying to launch it from homebrew launcher

Yup I've got both files.

im not sure have you checked if you misplaced anything in any one of the files or missing anything

Okay I just found out it's not just emunand that's not booting, rxmode won't boot at all.

Bump. Same issue.

I downgraded an n3ds and was able to get rxtools up and running without issue (I had done it before on another n3ds). You are likely doing something wrong, or the downgrade didn't complete correctly. It IS possible for this to work.

I also recommend checking your version of RXtools. I had trouble booting with the latest and greatest nightly build edition of RXtools, but the older version (Oct. 20, 2015) booted just fine on my Old 3DS.

Could you provide a link?

I'm not entirely sure where I got it, but I'd try this one if you are still having the issue: https://github.com/roxas75/rxTools/releases/download/Nightly/rxTools-83afbb6.zip

Now when I boot rxmode it stops and I get an error message saying "failed to load NATIVE-FIRM". I think this is my problem??

that means you have an incomplete downgrade

Thanks is it possible to fix? If so how can I?

well first try reviewing whether downgrade fine with this : http://gbatemp.net/attachments/downgrade-check-rar.35160/
or you can try downloading a native_firm with rxtools All you need is python and check if you already have

no it does not mean that . . . it means that the firmware.bin is bad/missing/incomplete/ or otherwise misplaced
so right click the rxtools.zip, select properties, then unblock, then unzip it, and proceed to generate a new firmware.bin
put the firmware.bin in dir: sd/rxTools/sys

if you read my previous post already had said
if it has native_firm and can not also be opened by having a downgrade incomplete
It is just to be sure it do well

1. rxTools.dat is an outdated file.
You must update rxTools to a version which contains code.bin, in order to be worked on N3DS or O3DS emuNAND 10.X fully support.

2. firmware.bin is also an outdated file.
The latest rxTools uses a "firm" directory on O3DS, or a CakesFW firmware on N3DS.

Last time I used sysupdater to downgrade from 10.3 to 9.2 should I use something that supports 9.2 instead?

It rxtools it is compatible with your FW 9.2 just install the homebrew and then download the rxtools and boot from your homebrew

As with 99% of rxtools setup issues, it's probably a mismatched firmware/rxtools version. Unlike O3DS where you can just run the python script to download the correct firmware, on N3DS you have to keep searching until you find one that works with your particular version of rxtools.
