The method used by Sparks seems to work:


When I tested launching sysUpdater from HomeMenuHax, it freezes on a black screen without ever displaying any text on either screen, following Sparks' method and substituting the boot.3dsx on the SD root with the sysUpdater .3dsx fixed the issue and launched sysUpdated almost instantly (so fast I didn't even see the 8 steps part).

Thanks, fella.
But that's the first thing I tried today, and it didn't work, guess I'm gonna try it again.

Does anyone knows how to solve ''that'' screen on sysupdater start
Kernel 11
#1 xxxxxxxxx
#2 xxxxxxxxxxx
#3 xxxxxxxxxxx
#4 xxxxxxx
#5 xxxxxxxxx

Something like that.

o3ds 10.3, homehax.

edit: Now i got to the #7, that's some progress.

Use Julian's sysupdater.

I'm trying to use the sysupdater you linked but it freezes on step 7. Did this happen to you too? Should I keep trying?

yes. Every version has this prollem. You need multiple tries to access properly sysupdater. Sometimes it can work at first try sometimes at 100th time. For me usually it is 10-15 times.

Use Julian's sysupdater.

I tried using Julian's sysUpdater, 4 times out of 5 it boots to black screens, the only one time it worked it didn't seem to display the 8 steps at the beginning and went straight to the downgrade menu...

Yeah, it doesn't show the steps. I used it with no problems.

Which entrypoint are you using?

Try taking out your SD card and then start your 3DS

 

[NekoMichi]

HomeMenuHax, IronHax, and NinjHax. Out of the people who have successfully launched sysUpdater on a N3DS, has anyone experienced the downgrade progress being interrupted/bricking halfway? (provided the update .cia files are correct and not from the O3DS)

 

[SkyDX]

So my first try ended in:

Failed to get CIA file info

it's safe to manually reboot here and try again right?

Yes, go right ahead.

 

[raizeny]

Hell yeah!

Now I gotta test some things.

Good luck, fellas

I sucessfully downgraded my new 3ds from 10.3 to 9.2 I used this sysupdater https://gbatemp.net/attachments/sysupdater-zip.34439/
However, it took me about 20 tries to get it working...

Here are some proof pics

 

[juiceciuj]

used julian's sysupdater as the other was stuck on step 5 everytime. installed all cias. got stuck on "will reboot in 10 seconds." never rebooted so i did it manually. black screen with only power light now. soft reboot doesn't seem to work. seems like a. recovery boot doesn't work. n3ds on 10.3. still within time range to exchange at walmart so that's the plan for after work.

fyi tried w/ and w/o the sd card in booting into homebrew, booting into recovery, and just normal booting. black screen everytime. anything else to try before exchanging?

 

[SkyDX]

Yes, go right ahead.

Alright thanks! I guess I'll be doing this for a while
