Tutorial Simple Guide to Downgrading your 3DS

[ka_kui]

Yes, it should be safe to manually reboot.

went ok, downgraded from 10.3 to 9.2....thanks

Oh Christ I know what I did now. I used the old 3ds 9.2.0-20 files in my new 3ds. That's 100% my fault on the brick.

 

[Rob Eich]

Well, don't know if my console is trying to protect me or not, but it is impossible for me to launch the downgrade, it comes back and forth between step 5 and 7, got one time the options, but no result when pressing Y

Same EXACT problem here, and I'm thinking the same thing!

I downgraded but now I can't install RXTools. I made a backup of my nand, and set everything up like my other 3DS (a long time ago) but now when I try to boot RXTools I get, "error Failed to load NATIVE_FIRM: 4 Reboot RXTools and try again"
I really hope I just overlooked a step and didn't accidentally use the wrong version of sysupdater.
edit: o3DS

How did you do the nand backup?

Could people who bricked explain what they did?

I shut off my 3ds when it was on "getting Cia Information" since it was on too long. Guess I didn't have patience . may my 3ds rest in peace in the brick 3ds graveyard

Firstly, can someone confirm that you need to have 102 CIAs to downgrade to 9.2.0-20 on the n3DS? Secondly, what do I do after I downgrade since my only access points I use are Menuhax and Ironhax?

I have a cartridge version of Smash Bros, would I be able to use Smashbroshax?

Reposting this so it doesn't get lost on the last page. Can anyone confirm these?

I'm using a japanese o3DS and did not delete the 000400102002CA00.cia file. When I boot up screen doesn't even turn on. I done goofed at least this was just my backup DS.

Downgraded from 10.3 to 9.2 with the .ttp CIAs. CakesFW refuses to boot from MenuHax. I'm trying MenuHax -> HBL -> CakesFW. After the CakesFW menu, it kicks me back to MenuHax. I tried both MenuHax 2.1 and 2.0 with the same result. I can get into EmuNAND normally with Cubic Ninja when MenuHax is not installed. Anyone having similar issues?

You can recover with safe mode. L + R + DPAD UP + A.

I'll try to make a list of people who got their 3DSs bricked and gather the info.

I tried. What's it suppose to do, how long should I hold it?

Hold it before you start the system, all four buttons. Hold them down and press the power button, then release the power button. Keep holding the buttons until the screen lights up. You'll see a menu asking you to update your 3DS. You can update back to 10.3 and try again if you want.

Hard reset after waiting 20minutes on the rebooting in 10seconds screen.
Get this screen now and the known fixes aren't working

For a little while. It lets you update to recover from the brick.
