So, does this work on New 3DS'es? I read earlier in the thread that someone said it doesnt. And that the OP "clearly states" not to downgrade a New 3DS, but i went back and checked and couldnt find that warning.
Confirmation please?

It works fine on n3ds. I did it on mine. It's really hard to get it to run, but when you do it works the same as it does for anyone else.

Can confirm success on N3DS XL US

10.3 to 9.2

Used Ironhax 2.5 as entry and had WiFi off if it matters, sysupdater froze at reboot but I shut down and removed sd then powered back on to a fresh 9.2!

I keep trying to use sysupdater (n3ds 10.3), but I keep getting stuck on 5, 7, or the word FINISHED. I've been using all my *hax entrypoints, with or without booting something first, but to no avail.

anyone have any tips?

I got the "An error has occurred..." after getting a success in sysUpdate and rebooting and nothing else.

If that's your case, you have to get into Recovery Mode (L+R+A+D pad UP while power on) and download the update when when prompted.

If the update dies middle way, try again but turn off wi-fi settings, this will get you to configure your connection settings, there, you have to change your DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for primary and secondary options, reboot again and it should update to 10.3 now

The app itself states that you should not attempt this on a N3DS. So I advise N3DS users to wait for strong proof that it works or another app like KTM. Can anyone who has downgraded post a picture as proof?
