Nope.
i hbve

i have the name of thethread but i cant find em on the iso site cuz im on an android device...pls pm me the files..
Yeah, no. If you can't find them on an Android device, how are you going to use them on an Android device?
THERE IS A HOMEBREW APP CALLED HOMEMENUINSTALLER OR SOMETHING LIKE THIS, AND THIS IT. YOU CAN TURN OFF YOUR 3DS AND WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO TURN IT ON YOU HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING L. AND THIS IS HOW YOU GET HOMENUHAX
lol chill, have a snickers, and disable Cruise Control

One final question, is it safe to update emunand to firmware 10.3? For O3DS.
It is, yes.

mind sharing thread name with me please? ^^'

It was my best estimate from what I've seen. But yeah, try telling them to wait lol
That's a kind of sophisticated explanation.
But all I did is just read dev's readme.md.
In the most recent one "0.4.2b" it clearly says:
"+##IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE THIS TO DOWNGRADE ON N3DS, AS IT HASN'T BEEN TESTED YET AND WILL LIKELY BRICK!"
Anyone dumb enough to try it without a hardmod - whatever floats your boat my comrades ... OR SINKS IT! haha
Cheers.

Would anyone know what could be causing this
titleException:
main.cpp:108: Result: 0xD900182F
Failed to get CIA file info!

I have rechecked and downloaded the right 9.2 files off that certain site. Have made sure they are for the N3ds which I have and correct system version but still get that message.

The same here ...

Worked fine for me, o3DS 10.3.0-28E Checked the Cheksum and installed first try!

The same here ...
Guys check if the mD5 and SHA checksums match and I wouldnt recommend using any Download Managers etc as it may corrupt part of the file.

It worked for me. Old 3ds xl 10.3 to 9.2.
What I did step by step:
1) attempted downgrade, got error, tried 5 more times, no luck.

2) installed old version of ironfall to try and use ironhax.

3) ironhax gave me an error, so i couldn't install

4) I rebooted holding L ( to open homebrew on start up using menu manager)

5) attempted downgrade, no errors, all cias were installing.

6) 3-4 minutes later my 3ds rebooted, all my home icons were large (default) which was strange since I made them small. I also got a couple of notifications about setting up my 3ds. I knew something had happened.

7 I checked settings, and it was 9.2, it worked..., finally.

So you're saying that the best mode to perform this downgrade is using themehax? i was wondering if the acces thing make some difference?

Just a quick question and it will help me a lot. Is there a way to start menuhax without pressing any button? If so how?

@TheStoneBanana OP can you put up a warning recommending new3DS owners to exercise caution and perhaps wait a couple days before attempting to downgrade.

It's starting to look like we're getting more bricks than successful downgrades.

Devs like @Steveice10 are working hard on new sysupdater builds to eliminate the risk of bricking.

So new3DS users please hold off for a day or so while the tools are made safer.

Even if Nintendo release 10.4 tomorrow you'll still be able to downgrade if you stay on 10.3. So there's no urgency to downgrade right now.
